#Dr dre the chronic album cover edits full#
But that doesnt make this album any worse. Dre, : The Chronic Full Album (2001), : 77:51, : 178.19, : 320 kbit/sec, : mp3. I feel that people who say this started G-Funk didnt listen to Niggaz4Life by NWA, which had a lot of the beginings of this production style by Dre. While I pesonally prefer Doggystyle this is still a great record. The next time I saw Suge at an Uptown Records listening party, he shouts my name from across the room, calls me “cuz” and greets me with a pound and a hug. This album is a classic, its The Chronic. A few months later, I remember being thrilled to see the album cover on a Sunset Strip billboard with my photograph. Thankfully, it all worked out in the end. He glared at me and the entourage instigated with an “ooooh shit!” And sorta needled me.
I said “I’m here to shoot Dre and Snoop” and even called him “cuz”, and it didn’t go over well. Unaware of his reputation, I eventually got cross with him. As the night goes on, Suge starts introducing me to other acts he wants me to photograph. Suge Knight was my contact person and seemed to control everything. We started our shoot in the photography studio, then recording studio, and later transitioned to locations outdoors in LA. Two weeks later, I get a call from Death Row Records to fly out to LA to shoot The Chronic album cover.
Snoop, earlier this week, said that his acquisition of Death Row Records automatically put him in ownership of The Chronic. Today, we revisit the timeless 1992 debut from Dr. I didn’t yet recognize either of their names but we hit it off and had a great shoot. Dre’s attorney, Howard King, released a statement that claims his client is still the owner of The Chronic, after Snoop Dogg had made a comment saying that he owns Dre’s debút album.
