Dr. Dre
Debut Smash: The Chronic
Like Snoop Dogg, whom Dr. Dre molded, Dre was a well-known commodity from his iconic NWA-“F— Tha Police” days. But this is the album that caused a music revolution and introduced the world to West Coast gangsta rap that irked middle America and made Dre and his posse the darlings of teens and tweens alike. After dropping a dud after leaving Death Row Records, Dre went hard in the paint after his doubters with the nearly-as-satisfying Chronic 2000.
