As far as its legacy, the album has made its appearances on music charts worldwide since its release and is #17 on the Billboard 200 chart for the 2000s. The album also claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, #4 on the UK Album Chart, and #17 in the Dutch Albums Chart. It debuted in 1999 at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart where it peaked and sold 516,000 copies in its first week. But that doesnt make this album any worse.
I feel that people who say this started G-Funk didnt listen to Niggaz4Life by NWA, which had a lot of the beginings of this production style by Dre. While I pesonally prefer Doggystyle this is still a great record. It would be an understatement to say that this project was an influential part of west coast rap and culture.Īs previously stated, this album was widely regarded and critically acclaimed. This album is a classic, its The Chronic. Drug kingpin Michael Harris funded The Chronic. Rappers such as The D.O.C., Hittman, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Xzibit, Nate Dogg, and Eminem made appearances on this album. Given the name of Dre's debut album, it seems only fitting that the album's artwork pays homage to the Zig Zag logo. Of course, the production of this album is more solid than most coming from Dre himself along with Mel-Man and Lord Finesse, but the vocal features that were at Dre’s disposal due to his success at the time also helped to make this project such a classic. The quality of work that makes up Chronic 2001 is epic.
