I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank. 
Who's your buddy, Mr. Jean?Warren G Says He Named Dr. Dre’s “2001″

The Regulator tells XXL that he bestowed the title on his step brother’s last LP.
Dre and I never talked about the direction he should go with the album, but… Actually, you know what? I ain’t gon’ lie. We actually met at the Beverly Hills Hotel one night, and—I swear to God—he was trying to figure out what to call the album, and I actually said, “How about Chronic 2001?” Right there at the Beverly Hills Hotel—we sat there, in the bungalows, and named it The Chronic 2001… It was me, Dre, Snoop—I can’t remember who else was there; I think Nate [Dogg] was there, too. Dre probably don’t remember that shit, but I said, “Chronic 2001...We are The Chronic. Why change it and name it something else when you can name it Chronic 2001? Because it’s the second one, and it’s in the new millennium. Let’s start it up and hit them again with it!”
i’m sayin tho… wasnt it originally called chronic 2000?? then suge used 2000, and he changed it to 2001?
it could of been called dr dre;s jizz anthem and it would still b a dope cd
I smell bullshit, Warren.
I always wondered y it was called 2001 when the shit came out in 1999, then when I saw Suge release the Chronic 2000, and KINDA understood…but it still smells like bullshit to me. But Warren is Dre’s brother. He should know…
Who’s ready for DETOX 2073?
Why the hell would you want to take credit for one of the most uncreative album titles of all time? Only thing that would have been worse would be “Dre Y2K”. Dope album, GARBAGE title. And the cover sucks too.
T do you stare at the album cover as you listen to the album? Just curious.
I always assumed it was called 2001 to be clever, like some “I’m ahead of my time” type shit.
i thought dude from Sa-RA help with the name…………………..
