Happy Anniversary Dr. Dre

It was nineteen years ago today, Sgt. Pepper told the band to play…
.uh, not really. But it was the day that Dr. Dre dropped “The Chronic.”

It was one of the those special recordings that became an instant cultural mile marker.

Rap and Hip Hop may not be your music drug of choice but it’s impossible to deny that it was a game changer on many levels. Long time rockers, country music guys, dance dj’s and even Tejano fans were blasting this out of their cars.

Sometimes when music is done right and touches your soul it has a certain crossover appeal and The Chronic was one of those albums.

Dr. Dre had already made his bones as a member of N.W.A. but at the
dawn of the nineties he was about to realize his full potential as a
rapper, producer and visionary of what rap could be.

There is no two ways about it, the dude can make a beat. Ice the the cake with the blunt fueled, floating rhymes of Snoop Dogg and the result was something that everyone had to have a bite of.

Don’t act like you don’t crank the #$%& out this when your sitting in traffic and it comes on the radio.

“It’s this and like that and like this and uhhhhhhhh.”
