Dr. Dre: The Chronic (Remastered) Vinyl 2LP

“Bitches ain’t shit but hos and tricks, lick on the nuts and suck the dick…” Ahhh, quality ish. My earliest memory of this record was when Dr. Dre was on the Arsenio Hall show (woof! woof!) and performed G Thang. It was the world’s introduction to the new G-Funk sound and a young skinny, almost goofy lookin Snoop. For those who have forgotten, let me recount side A. “Intro,” “Dre Day,” “Let Me Ride,” “The Day the N***** Took Over,” “Nuthin But A ‘G’ Thang,” “Deez Nuuuts”!!! Easily one of the hypest sides ever with a production sound that has yet to be matched, even by the doctor himself. Got to give a shout to my friend Shwan on this one, cause we used to roll in his gold stick shift Mercedes with the car phone with the cord, and blast this shit and pretend we were hard. Classic like fruit roll ups at lunch. Official remastered double vinyl edition.
