Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

How to follow the phenomenally-successful The Chronic album must have caused superstar rap producer Dr Dre more than a few sleepless nights. Five years on, for 2001 he's gathered a plethora of prime, new rap talent around him, including his prodigy-of-the-moment, Eminem, and Xzibit (who duet on boombastic anthem "What's The Difference?"); and is reunited with former compadres Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and MC Ren. While the lyrical preoccupations remain the same--sex, sess (marijuana), girls, guns and cars--the predictably flawless production has been cranked up way beyond the G-Funk formula that found him fame. "Still D.R.E." is driven by the persistent pluck of a harmonium; "Light Speed" is all spooky, retro-future funk; and "Forgot About Dre" boosts kinetic, Timbaland-style beats with insistent strings and squalls of guitar. All in all, there's more than enough on here to satisfy the hardcore that Dre is back and business is booming. --Chris Campion

Un Essentiel amazon.fr

Le Docteur Andre Young au sommet de son art avec cet album faussement solo sur lequel on retrouve le gratin du rap californien rassemblé sous la bannière Death Row. Aux côtés du Phil Spector hip-hop, on découvre notamment un certain Snoop Doggy Dogg (qui fera vite parler de lui) ainsi que Tha Dogg Pound, alias Daz et Kurupt, plus l'excellente rappeuse The Lady Of Rage et le chanteur Nate Dogg : bref, une sacrée dream-team West-Coast. Paroles crues, funk vintage savamment recyclé, et un art de la mise en scène sonore inégalé. Du drive-by sanglant à la partie de jambes en l'air, chaque atmosphère est soignée façon Hollywood (la porte à côté) et le groove n'épargne personne. Après l'expérience Niggas With Attitude, Dr Dre prouve avec ce projet ambitieux qu'il peut cumuler les casquettes : producteur, rappeur, réalisateur et directeur de casting au flair aiguisé. Il confirme aussi que le soleil de L.A. mélangé à la "chronic" (variété de marijuana locale) rend même les gangsters cool et leurs récits dansants. -- José Guerreiro

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, May 27 2003
This review is from: Chronic 2001 (Audio CD)
Forget about who?? DRE, that's WHO! No matter how many wannabees or other real deals come up, Dr. Dre will still be listened to years from now as possibly the most influential person the rap industry has ever seen. We all know that Dre has been writing beats for Eminem and others while not doing much rhyming himself, but he is still boss when he spits it himself.

Dre 2001 has been out for awhile now, but for some stupid reason, I did not buy it until recently. No matter how much new rap I buy, Dre 2001 still is in the front row of my CD collection in the car. And it's not just Dre's raps that make this CD great, it's the wonderful compilation of the talent of other rappers joining in on Dre's classic beats that make this album really shine. Xzibit and Eminem highlight my favorite song of the album, "What's the Difference." And of course, Snoop Dogg makes appearances on this album, most excellently in the well-played "Next Episode" and "Still Dre."

There are countless other good songs on this album, including "The Watcher", "Forget about Dre", "Housewife", "Ackrite", ....wait a minute, I'm listing all the songs here.

Then again, that's the incredible final point about Dre 2001: every song on this album is listenable. It's one of those rare albums that you'll pop in your car CD player, and listen to from beginning to end. I sure hope this isn't Dr. Dre's last album, but if it is, he'll at least have convinced the world not to "forget about Dre."

3.0 out of 5 stars This Better Be Good if We Waited 8 Years, Jan 5 2000
By 
This review is from: Chronic 2001 (Audio CD)
You can't help but need to be blown away by Dr. Dre's next piece of work... The man's been locked away from the world with a few exceptions (lackluster collaborations, 1996's this-album-is-so-bad-I-need-to-include-a-bomb-on-the-cover-to-warn-my-fans 'Aftermath'), now this better be good... is it?

Yes and no. The tight play between the drum and the bass on 'The Watcher' mixed with Dre's voice (and powerful lyrics) creates one of the best songs on the CD. 'Still D.R.E.' rides an irritating but catchy hook throughout the same song, and the first Eminem track 'What's the Difference' is made even better (from the promo) byt the addition of an organ.

However, it's the year 2000, and musical tastes have changed. Too bad Dr. Dre hasn't changed as much as I had hoped. I'd expect him to match the musical audacity found in some of the more interesting producers (Swizz Beats, DJ Premier, RZA, the Dust Brothers) around today. Sadly, Dr. Dre delivers the expected and fails to match the breakthrough that was 1992's 'The Chronic.' If you don't have that album, buy it. If you do, don't expect anything exciting from 'Chronic 2001'. Maybe Dr. Dre will come out with another musical landmark with 'Chronic 2010' (or whatever is next).
