DR. DRE - 2001 (2LP/2019)
Dr. Dre's 2001 (2LP/2019) isn't just a re-release; it's a celebration of a hip-hop landmark. This 2019 reissue on double vinyl brings new life to Dr. Dre's critically acclaimed follow-up to The Chronic, offering a chance to experience this West Coast masterpiece in all its remastered glory.
Released in 1999, 2001 solidified Dr. Dre's position as a rap icon. This album is a masterclass in production, storytelling, and guest appearances. Tracks like the iconic "Still D.R.E." featuring Snoop Dogg are instant classics, while "The Next Episode" (featuring Snoop Dogg & Kurupt) injects a dose of laid-back swagger.
Fun Fact: 2001 debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, but it went on to sell over 7.8 million copies in the United States alone. It also spawned three commercially successful singles and established a new generation of West Coast rap stars, including Eminem, who was heavily featured throughout the album.
