1989"s Straight Outta Compton, by Dre"s previous outfit N.W.A, may have shined the public spotlight on the genre, but The Chronic legitimised it. That is not to say that Snoop Doggy Dogg (The Chronic marks his debut) and Dre"s raps are for everyone; the subject matter is the sex, drugs, violence, and politics of South Central Los Angeles, and the phrasing is explicit, to say the least. But The Chronic"s real genius is the music. The DVD Side of the DualDisc edition includes never-before-released footage and more. Death Row. 2005.
