Steve Berman, Vice Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M, said: “Dr. Dre is without a doubt one of the most iconic and groundbreaking artists in the modern era.

That particular record, man, that’s like, I would say the toughest record that I’ve recorded in my career because, you know, it was right after my separation with Ruthless, and I was in survival mode. And, you know, going from that to the organization that I went to with all the things that were happening in the studio during the making, it was crazy. During that process, my house burned down, I was shot in the legs, and I was in the studio on crutches for a couple of weeks. So it was a lot that went into that record. It was blood, sweat, and beers that went into it, you know what I mean? So, that’s one of those records that I don’t even listen to anymore. Stranded On Death Row" contains a sample of "Do Your Thing" from the album " Shaft" written by I. Hayes

After leaving Ruthless Records and releasing the single “Deep Cover” with his protégé Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr. Dre released his debut solo album The Chronic on December 15, 1992 through Death Row Records with distribution from Interscope Records. The album’s cover was created in the style of the artwork for Zig-Zag rolling papers and the term “chronic” is used for high-grade marijuana. Snoop Dogg claimed that the term originated after he misheard his dealer explain that what they were smoking was hydro ponic, which he explained on his GGN show.Featuring [Featuring The Death Row Inmates] – That Nigga Daz*, Jewell*, Kurupt, RBX, Snoop Dogg, The D.O.C., Rage* These technologies are used for things like personalised ads, to limit how many times you see an ad, to understand usage via Google Analytics, to understand how you got to our web properties, to ensure that we understand the audience and can provide relevant ads Let Me Ride" contains a sample of " Mothership Connection" written by G.
