I remember going to the record store back in '99 and buying it, it had a few bangers on it "Og To Bg", "Late Night", "Roll Wit Us"
-
yup i bought way back when. great shit.very slept on.the mac shawn tracks were fire.
-
How could you not? When this album came out, it was an automatic classic.
-
Classic? Hell no.
Few bangers though as HighEyeCye stated

What a ridiculous thing to say.
-
i bought it when it came out because i wanted to see what Death Row had to offer. there were some dope tracks on there. the Lady of Rage sound-a-likes track was pretty cool. OG2BG is a classic, Late Night and Who Do U Believe In? are dope too.

Indeed.
The album is a mixed bag containing a couple of gems (eg Late Night, Roll Wit Us), some good tracks (eg Easy Being A Soldier, Gotta Love Gangstas) and just plain awful album fillers. I've read a couple of times that Chronic 2000 went gold is that true?

I remember them advertising the "4 new Dre tracks" in the Source with a different white cover, would have been great to hear those

Yeah especially the one featuring YGD Top Dogg imagine that.

not too interested in Top Dogg being mixed into a Dre track really...

I Think You Mean Chronic 2001
-
"OG to BG" was one of those Dre tracks originally, even during Daz verse he mentions Dre
-
Classic? Hell no.
Few bangers though as HighEyeCye stated

I bought it the day it came out.. I really thought Death Row still had some juice left... turned out they didn't, and it was only going to get worse.
Only song I really liked on the album when it came out was "Like It Or Not" by Superfly. The Pac song ofcourse was great but I had already heard it on some bootlegs. I bumped some other tracks trying get myself to like them, but after a week or so I gave up on the album.
I remember I wanted to check out the Milkbone song because I was listening to Slim Shady LP everyday around that time, I wanted to hear another white rapper... he came out dissin Em and so I was really turned off by that track.
-
Yeah i bought it cuz i heard it was going to have some unreleased dre songs on there ... But it I actually still bump this album
-
Classic? Hell no.
Yeah, it only had a couple of real great tracks ("Easy To Be A Soldier, When There Ain't No War", "Don't Forget Where You Came From" and a couple of others i can't remember right now)
-
it had some great tracks.i "bought" it, burned it and gave it back to the story.
lol huster-move. 8)
-
yeah that cd was dope
-
"OG to BG" was one of those Dre tracks originally, even during Daz verse he mentions Dre
I think the version that was going to be on there was going to be Dre feat. Tha Realest and Tha Dogg Pound for that track, but they wound up putting Soopafly on there and taking Dre and Tha Realest off. I have a hunch though that Kurupt's verse was actually the verse Dre was supposed to spit based on his delivery and tone, kinda like that Crooked I track "Say Dr. Dre"
speaking of which, I know there were supposed to be 4 "unreleased" Dre songs, and I can only remember three of them:
"Die Motherfucker Die" Dr. Dre feat. Top Dogg
"OG 2 BG" Dr. Dre feat. Tha Dogg Pound and Tha Realest
"Tha Ho Hopper" Dr. Dre feat. Top Dogg and Doobie?
But overall, the album was a hot album. Only thing that bothered me was Big Boy doing the intros on almost every track. Too many filler tracks too, if I put together the compilation, here's how the tracklisting would have been
1. Chronic 2000 - VK feat. Treach
2. Gotta Love Gangsta's - Tha Realest featuring Scarface & Richie Rich
3. Top Dogg Cindafella - Top Dogg
4. Who Do You Believe In - 2Pac featuring Yaki Kadafi
5. It's Goin' Down - MacShawn featuring Daz Dillinger & Tha Realest
6. Don't Forget Where You Came From - Swoop G
7. Like It or Not - Soopafly
8. Easy To Be A Soldier When There Ain't No War - Tha Realest featuring Swoop G & Lil' C-Style
9. Beautiful Lady - Danny Boy featuring K-Ci
10. We Don't Love 'Em - Top Dogg
11. Because of You Girl - Tha Dogg Pound featuring Tha Realest
12. Roll Wit' Us - Daz Dillinger
13. Late Night - 2Pac featuring Outlawz
14. OG to BG - Soopafly featuring Tha Dogg Pound
15. Wanna Be Loved - Michel'le featuring VK
16. Ride or Get Rode On - Bad Habitz
17. Mr. Officer - Michel'le featuring Captain Save'm & El Dorado
-
I bought when it dropped. DR's best compilation post 2pac. Anyone wanna up this thing in the usual spot? I don't have it anymore. The worst thing about the comp were the BLATANT Snoop Dogg and 2Pac imitations via Topp Dogg and The Realist. Obviously VK was a replacement for Rage but at least she had her own style.
-
I bought it within the first week of it being released, one of last good compilations that Death ROw dropped. I like about a disc worth of the joints on there.
Still waiting to hear some of the oringinals and dre remixes that were suppose to be on there.
-
How could you not? When this album came out, it was an automatic classic.
I actually agree whether he's right or wrong. Sure, there was a few fillers, but even every classic album has some fillers. Great compilation. 5/5. Mac Shawn rocked that compilation.......YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU KNOW NIGGA!!!! Lol.
-
I purchased this cd just for the 2pac tracks..........I didn't have a comp at the time so I don't believe that I had heard either of the two unreleased songs........it would've been a lot better if it had only been a one disc compilation........dude who spoke in every song wasn't too enjoyable either
-
dude who spoke in every song wasn't too enjoyable either
yea, who was that dude?
-
dude who spoke in every song wasn't too enjoyable either

Big Boy from Power 106

I bought it but not when it came out but a few years later
then I lost it :-\
I remember Roll Wit Us was my favorite track

How about Top Dogg - We Don't Love Em. Great Quik production from my favorite era of his.

I remember my boy bought it, we used to take the train go kick it at the mall listening to this record.
-

I remember seeing those tracks on the original Chronic 2000 tracklist before Dre made them take the songs off. I'm sure the OG tracklist is still floatin' around somewhere

He's 40 Water's cousin. He got out of jail last year man! Served a six year sentence. Mac Shawn is a beast. I hope to hear more from him soon.

I remember Dre made them take em off,but not the actual titles.
Interesting info.
So I guess, if the info is legit we need to add those titles/tracks to Jomeīs and Es-Jayīs archieves ;).
-
While most people couldn't care less about Tha Realest and Top Dogg I never really felt those Mac Shawn tracks and I still think till this day that Swoop G's Don't Forget Where You Came From is the worst DR track I've ever heard. I hate that beat.

U MUST BE SICK...
THAT SHIT GOSE HADR IN THE PAINT...HE GOT ON SNOOP'S HEAD REAL TUFF...

+IT'S EASY TO BE A SOULDIER WHEN IT AINT NO WAR+

That beat was bangin and Swoop smashed Snoop, it might be the best track on the compilation.

Well to each its own it's a matter of taste Swoop may have torn Snoop a new one on that track but I have never learned to appreciate the song. I wonder what that other Snoop diss would have sound like, Snoop Dogg/Bitch Dogg form Inside Out before before it was changed to Chronic 2000. I still keep my fingers crossed that some day someone will release those Inside Out cuts...
-
i liked the comp. definately not a classic, but had some classic tracks, and a lotta fillers. but there were like 5 really dope tracks which were worth buying it - albums nowadays arent better neither
sad bad true...
-
When this album came out, it was an automatic classic.
What a ridiculous thing to say.
Yessir!!!! Ridiculous as Fucc :o
-

-

-
I bought it the day it came out. Once I heard the track "Like It Or Not" my life has never been the same since. Because of this song, I have had a life changing experience and I have devoted my life to studying and proclaiming the greatness that is Soopafly.
-
i was waiting on this from the day i knew it was coming out, bought it ASAP.
-
damn, I thought the swoop g solo was dope as fuck...I busted this out the other day and bumped some songs...good stuff on here. The treach song is dpe as hell!

Damn, what are the odds those or thier original versions will evr see the light of day? I'd pay a pretty penny...
-
shit was hot but I couldnt stand that Pac and Snoop clone that Death Row had they ruined all the tracks on the album and that Michelle Mr Officer was a remake of Dre's shit that was supposed to be on the first Chronic

hey dont forget to give some respect to LT Hutton too because he produced that banger ;D
-
Yeah, Hutton produced a banger for sure, he's hit and miss sometimes, but this time it was a hit. But let's face it, it's The Man Soopafly that makes the track. The beat is nice, but I can't imagine anyone else being able to ride a beat like that. And the icing on the cake is having Val Young doing backup vocals...don't get any better than that.
-
I bought it immidiately when it came out and indeed, there were plenty of awesome songs. If it was a 1cd album, instead of a double-cd, it would've been a true classic. This album was released when the label actually had some talent left, and other than a few fillers (actually about 5 or 6 of them), most of the album was great.

somehow I don't think Dre would cosign some of these artists lol
they probably just put their vocals over the tracks
Id still like to hear them but your right it will never happen
