    theres only 2 Funkadelic samples on it, 5 parliament. loads of other samples.
    i love this album, came out when i was 15. been listening to it ever since, this and Doggystyle i look at as partner albums, both go together like a double album

    In my opinion, Doggystyle is more of a party g-funk gangsta rap album whereas The Chronic is a street g-funk gangsta album and feels dirtier so to me they don't go as a double album, but I can definitely see why you'd think they could for sure. Both are very similar, for obvious reasons.

    they both came out only a year apart and had all the same rappers on them and then Dre Left Death Row and nothing came out after that sounding the same. both come from the same mindset, id say Doggystyle was the better album, but you need The Chronic and the proceeding single deep cover that wasn't on the Chronic to get the whole feeling of that time, put all them together and you have an excellent set of tracks that all go together. theres also an Eazy E album that also fits in that style called It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa. put all these tracks on a play list and it all fits together well.

    I only own a handful of rap albums, but I consider the Chronic to be the greatest album of any genre from the 90's.

    I voted "Let Me Ride"....HELL YEAH!

    I literally don't listen to anything else from the 90's, but I have a feeling this would still be my favourite of the decade, besides Doggystlye.

    I voted Let Me Ride. I love G Funk. Reminds me of high school. Warren G was always my favorite though. I feel like his first album is as important and as good or better than Chronic and Doggiestyle but I guess it gets overlooked

    I chose The Day the ****** Took Over - tight verses by everyone and it builds up a wonderful tension that fits the subject matter. Although I could have chosen any of the first five tracks - it really starts to drag on the second LP in my opinion.

    I thought "The Roach" = "Bitches Ain't ****"?

    I remember Cheron Moore talking about doing the drums for that one while he had a bad cold...

    That Warren G record really does get forgotten. That's a mistake.

    I just want to go on the record as stating both The Chronic and Doggystyle are stone cold classics.

    As are : Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers
    ODBs Return to the 36, Liquid Swords, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and the first 4 Cypress Hill records.

    And the Beasties.

    Outkast.

    And ICP.

    You should make a dedicated 90's hip-hop thread for sure

    Nah, "The Roach" is the P-Funk interpolation... make my bud the Chronic.. "Bitches Ain't ****" is the bonus track that follows.

    Yes please.

    Love this album. Reminds of a lot of things I can't remember from my misspent youth :love:

    I like the whole enchilada, but my fave goes out to all the haterz and that is "F*** wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')".

    Nothin But A G Thing and Let Me Ride are the obvious classics.

    Had to show a little love for Little Ghetto Boy.

    We need a hundred more votes to truly figure out where everything other than G Thang and Let Me Ride stands.
