To mark its 30th anniversary, Dr. Dre’s landmark 1992 debut The Chronic has been re-released by Interscope Records. A groundbreaking blend of G-funk production, Parliament-inspired grooves, and West Coast swagger, the album redefined rap with lush, funk-infused beats and cinematic skits. It also introduced the world to Snoop Doggy Dogg, whose laid-back drawl became the album’s signature voice. Despite its controversial themes, The Chronic remains a genre-defining classic—both a party record and a cultural snapshot—cementing Dr. Dre’s legacy as one of hip-hop’s most influential producers.
