Snoop Doggy Dogg would be Dre’s vehicle to pack one of Rap’s most laid-back flows (and attitudes) against the life or death realities of gang-infested Southern California. Songs like “Lyrical Gangbang” weighed the messages and attitudes of young, disenfranchised Black men and women in the U.S., and wanted Middle America to feel the angst, the high stakes survival, and the fearlessness of the youth. While The Chronic threaded 1970s “grown-folks” music, its rhymes were rooted in the grim reality of L.A. Having hit his stride on Niggaz4Life and The D.O.C.’s No One Can Do It Better, Andre Young built upon his G-Funk foundation, with an album that beckoned the galactic chariots of Parliament-Funkadelic themselves. and Ruthless Records, the greatest material asset the Compton, California impresario may have had was musical sketches.
Lauded for lyrics and praised for production, these two ’90s hallmarks may be a bitter brawl til’ the end. Both albums spearheaded bigger label/crew movements, and stood as landmarks of when Rap music was its most creative. However, whereas Dre opened the floor to an all-star rookie class of Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, The Lady Of Rage, and RBX, Brooklyn, New York’s Biggie Smalls injected his own “Machine Gun Funk” into the melodic beats, and hit his marks. The panned drums and the linear narrative sequencing were nods to Andre Young. and Puff Daddy made Ready To Die better because of The Chronic. In addition to the groovy G-Funk he created, Dre spit hard-headed rhymes, and gave Riots-era L.A. Dre’s The Chronic introduced melody to Hip-Hop at the widest scale upon its release. Now that y ou have decided the Elite 8, things are critical-as is your vote.ĭr.
