"29.6. A huge rap classic, and I can definitely see why. Chronic is downright infectious, that funky melodic bass kills, the lyrics for the most part very on point, the personalities are great and the production... I could listen to this any day."

"Nuthin’ but a “G” thang After helping write the book on gangsta rap with N.W.A, Andre “Dr. Dre” Young started a smokin’ new chapter with his triple-platinum solo debut. With Snoop Doggy Dogg as his vocal foil and beats influenced by George Clinton’s ’70s P-Funk, The Chronic managed to be both dangerous and addictive at once. Standout tracks: “Let Me Ride,” “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang”"
