Document Summary
One of the most influential music producers to be known, dr. dre changed the game for the hip-hop and rap industry when his solo debut album, the chronic, was released in december of 1992. This production meshed the altered tempo of funk with the lazy west coast rap style to create gangsta funk better known as g-funk. West said chronic is the hip-hop equivalent to stevie wonder"s songs in the key of life" which ranked #56 in rolling stone"s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Anyone who knows of stevie wonder will know that this album became his signature album and is noted as one of the greatest albums in pop music history. Born and raised in compton, la, where the infamous blood and crips gangs originated, Dre hit off his rap career with ni**az with attitude(nwa)"s first album-straight outta. Compton- revolutionizing the rap genre through social commentary.
