Yet The Chronic is first and foremost a party album, rooted not only in '70s funk and soul, but also that era's blue party comedy, particularly Dolemite. Its comic song intros and skits became prerequisites for rap albums seeking to duplicate its cinematic flow; plus, Snoop and Dre's terrific chemistry ensures that even their foulest insults are cleverly turned. That framework makes The Chronic both unreal and all too real, a cartoon and a snapshot. No matter how controversial, it remains one of the greatest and most influential hip-hop albums of all time.

Snoop & RBX and it gives the album a cohesive vibe in terms of flows and cadence coming from a single voice, keeping up the illusion that Dre himself may have come up with these lyrics.

The Chronic: Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, RBX, Nate Dogg, and Jewell. The Death Row Inmates.

By breeding hip-hop, jazz (studio instrumentation includes saxophones and flutes), funk, and soul (sampled artists include Parliament, Donny Hathaway, and Isaac Hayes), Dre creates downright intoxicating grooves. If you can't feel The Chronic pulsating through your veins, maybe your heart's not pumping. Disc: 1. 1. The Chronic (Intro). 2. Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin').
