It’s a shame really that all it needs is a better chorus singer. One gripe with the song is that Hittman ‘s delivery of the chorus, which lyrics aren’t the greatest anyway, sounds really monotone and as if he’s bored with it. Dre has a good first verse but Hittman definitely takes the win on this one with his surprisingly good second verse. 2001 then moves onto Big Ego ’s, which features Dr. Nothing wrong with that of course even if ghostwriting is frowned upon these days because it created one of Dre ’s best songs. Jay-Z wrote all the lyrics and Dre and Snoop deciding that it was much better than anything they had come up with the song and so they ran with it. Ironically though, none of the performers on the song actually contributed writing credits. Dre beat ever, while I don’t know whether I agree with that I could concede it’s in his top three best songs ever. Genius edits suggest it’s considered the best Dr. Still D.R.E is a song any self-respecting hip-hop fan will have listened to and very good reason: like The Watcher it bangs. Dre and Snoop both seem to have upped their game this album too with great verses being given by both of them for the song. Devin ’s voice grates on me a little but he supplied a good enough verse. Dre, Devin the Dude and Snoop Dogg both supplying verses with Devin the Dude singing the hook. Fuck You is a classic sex rap song, with Dr. Following The Watcher is track three Fuck You.
A great beat and a hook sung by Eminem and Knock-Turnal, The Watcher remains to this day one of my favourite Dre songs. At the time people had started saying Dre was shook and so left out of fear, but as he points out it isn’t a great way to live not knowing when someone’s going to come and try to kill you and admits “I ain’t a thug/ How much 2Pac in you you got?”.
The Watcher deals with Dre lamenting about his move from the hood into a new, swanky house following constant death threats he was receiving. The Watcher has since gone on to be a very popular hip hop song that never gets old in the community of course and for very good reason it bangs. The first track after the very straightforward intro is The Watcher. Hittman ’s involvement was reminiscent of The Chronic being used to feature lots of Snoop Dogg to put him on the map. Released on November 16th, 1999 under the Aftermath and Interscope labels, it retained the West Coast hip hop and G-funk influences while being much more refined and featuring a bigger variety of hip hop artists most notable of those on the album is Hittman who featured in ten songs from the album. No matter how you look at it… “2001” is an undeniable classic.2001 is the second studio album by Dr. But keep in mind that a lot changed from 1992 to 1999, so it’s unfair to compare the two albums. Then again, if you ask me, the lyrics featured on “The Chronic” are better than the lyrics featured on “2001”. If you ask me (this may upset some people) but the production on “2001” is a little bit better than the production featured on Dre’s 1992 classic “The Chronic”. So if it wasn’t for “2001” a lot of music that has dropped since 1999 may have never existed. Don’t forget that this album was responsible for re-establishing Dr. I’m waiting to see if the same will happen this year when Dr. This album is what pushed West Coast Hip-Hop back to the top in the year 2000. This is a personal favorite of mine.ĬONCLUSION: There is no doubt in my mind that “2001” is a Hip-Hop classic. Blige sounds outstanding on the hook (along with Roc-A-Fella crooner Rell). This track sounds NOTHING like any of the other tracks on this album.
