Today marks 10 years since Dr. Dre released his last album, 2001. To commemorate the date, XXL spoke to Game on Dre’s classic disc. Wait, wasn’t Jayceon in a coma?
When Dre put out 2001, man, every single car that drove past the hood was bumpin’ that album and different tracks. Everybody always had they favorite and wanted to argue over what was better or who rocked better but that combination of Mel Man, Dre and Hittman was crazy, man… I ain’t got no favorite [song] but if you wanna know who killed it, Eminem killed it [on “What’s the Difference” and] Devin the Dude killed it [on “Fuck You,”]. Those was like monumental features. Eminem and Devin was crazy.





Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
Damn, its been 10 years already. I was just listening to it last week. Album was tough.
Em’s verse on “What’s the Difference” was crazy, BUT Xzibit might have had the best verse on that track. I know yall gonna laugh, but listen to it again.
I realized a while back that on Game’s song “Dreams” he says “I woke up from that coma 2001/round the same time Dre dropped 2001.”
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but you did just post that Dr. Dre’s Chronic 2001 is 10 years old. That would mark it’s release in 1999 correct?
Rap liars. Get em’ everytime.
actually i take that back, Em said ” raw dogg get your arm knawed off, drop the sawed off and beat you with the piece that was sawed off of” CRAZY!
still…smoke weed everyday!!!
How about Hittman on “Xxplosive”? That was fire. Kurupt too.
