¦
¦ With its stylish, sonically detailed production, Dr. Dre's 1992 solo debut,
¦ The Chronic, transformed the entire sound of West Coast rap. Here Dre
¦ established his patented G-funk sound: fat, blunted Parliament-Funkadelic
¦ beats, soulful backing vocals, and live instruments in the rolling basslines
¦ and whiny synths. What's impressive is that Dre crafts tighter singles than
¦ his inspiration, George Clinton ù he's just as effortlessly funky, and he has
¦ a better feel for a hook, a knack that improbably landed gangsta rap on the
¦ pop charts. But none of The Chronic's legions of imitators were as rich in
¦ personality, and that's due in large part to Dre's monumental discovery,
¦ Snoop Doggy Dogg. Snoop livens up every track he touches, sometimes just by
¦ joining in the chorus ù and if The Chronic has a flaw, it's that his relative
¦ absence from the second half slows the momentum. There was nothing in rap
¦ quite like Snoop's singsong, lazy drawl (as it's invariably described), and
¦ since Dre's true forte is the producer's chair, Snoop is the signature voice.
¦ He sounds utterly unaffected by anything, no matter how extreme, which sets
¦ the tone for the album's misogyny, homophobia, and violence. The Rodney King
¦ riots are unequivocally celebrated, but the war wasn't just on the streets;
¦ Dre enlists his numerous guests in feuds with rivals and ex-bandmates. Yet
¦ The Chronic is first and foremost a party album, rooted not only in '70s funk
¦ and soul, but also that era's blue party comedy, particularly Dolemite. Its
¦ comic song intros and skits became prerequisites for rap albums seeking to
¦ duplicate its cinematic flow; plus, Snoop and Dre's terrific chemistry
¦ ensures that even their foulest insults are cleverly turned. That framework
¦ makes The Chronic both unreal and all too real, a cartoon and a snapshot. No
¦ matter how controversial, it remains one of the greatest and most influential
¦ hip-hop albums of all time.
