The follow up to The Chronic that Dre was doing in 96 before he left Death Row. It is advertised in 2Pac's All Eyez On Me booklet.

yeah i guess it was meant for the original Chronic II; but The D.O.C. vocals are not from '96, since The D.O.C. left death row in '94.

Not totally sure where 'My Life' is from but 'Zoom' was intended for the Snoop/Dre album Makeups to Breakups in 97/98. When the album didn't happen Dre did the track with LL Cool J for the Bullworth Soundtrack.

Title: original Chronic II
Post by: Dre-Day on April 28, 2008, 12:05:56 PM
bump:

i recently talked to HighEyeCue about this, but i believe there has been no such thing as the original chronic II.

yes i know that a project called Chronic II was announced by death row ( and even advertised in 96 if i'm not mistaken), but as far as i know Dre never gave his new project that name.

he was planning his escape and was tired of the gangsta rap and the bullshit around the label, so why would he call it Chronic II  :laugh:

Dre's schedule and Death Row's schedule weren't really matching  :P

Then why would he call his 1999 album Chronic 2001 (or Chronic 2000 before Suge stole the name)?

not sure, you tell me  :laugh:
well, when looking at the backcover i would say because it's basically his new millennium chronic, as it was released at the end of 1999  ( new sound and all, but still dre )  ;)

yep, "Papas Got a Brand New Funk: A New World Odor" not sure if they were the exact words but I think that was Dre's first tiitle for it, it was in a "Newsweek" article around late '96 if I remember correctly

It's the kind of sound and style that made the West Coast great, that we haven't heard in a long time.  He'll probably have to update his sound for Detox.

I always thought Dre and Snoop's lyrics were madd weak for that origional Zoom track.  I didn't like Dre's "Firm style" mafiaso raps he used for a couple years.  But besides Dre and Snoop's lyrics the song is bangin.

What song and what part of the song are you saying was added for the youtube version?


Also, getting  back to that origional Zoom track I noticed a different intro from that I hadn't heard before... that intro is the best part of the song! it has some low riding bass sample at the beginning and fades into the track.

King T used the same beat on "That's Drama", what year was that released? The beat just really sounds like it's from 1999 or somethin'.

don't know the exact year, but King T was around at the beginning of aftermath and Thy Kingdom Come was supposed to be released in 1998 so that's Drama must be from the period 96-98.

IMO this must be an Aftermath-recording... I definately don't think DOC would work on a Death Row project, and no way this was made before he departed. My guess is that it's a very early Aftermath-recording... If you listen to Dre's rapping, the style sounds quite similar to what he did on i.e. The Aftermath compilation..

no it can't be an aftermath leftover as Dre and Doc weren't getting along at that time.

the lyrics+ production clearly prove that it's from the death row era; and why are you so sure that this can't be a Chronic leftover?

Dre and Mel-Man also remade the beat for "My Life", slightly updated, for "Blawww" on Hittman's "Hittmanic Verses" album/"Hitt's Big Score" bootleg.
