This albunm was alright. IT was kinda fuzzy, because they only had one Dr. Dre album to put in the greatest hits, and That was The Chronic. Five songs from the album were on here. Somewere Dre produced songs, one was a remix, two were songs that he appeared on other albums. But to tell you the truth, they did not have enough material. This CD needed fillers. I kinda wish Dre stayed on Death Row longer to make one more album. Probably that Helter Skelter Dre and Cube rumored album shoulda came out...

So what if this is all material from '92-'97? This is intended as a retrospective a "Chronicle" of what he has done. Not only does it have an excellent, punny title, but it features some master hooks. Dre's production, which is what is showcased on this album, not his rapping as the last reviewer assumed, is phenomenal. He is a pioneer and shaped the whole musical landscape for much of the '90s and complete redefined the genre of rap.

Very well done collection of tracks put together by Death Row. All these cuts show Dre in his prime. Mostly tracks from the Chronic & Doggystyle...nothing from "2001". Good record to start out with for the newbie Dre fan. Peace

just what i ask, in the time that they say, i very happy with the item and is exactly like the picture

Dr. Dre is the Quincy Jones of Hip-Hop Producer's period. when you hear these jams and think back to those times it all comes together. Dre was in the zone back in the day. these Jams highlight a particular era in his death row era run. dre always keeps his game tight and I'm waiting for the detox Project to finally drop and I know it is gonna be off the Door Bell and knob when it finally does drop. so many jams on this compilation.

This is a compiation of Dre's best hits made by death row, it isn't just Dre it has some he produced like 'Gin and Juice' and 'serial killa' by snoop and 'afro puffs' by lady of rage. It has mostly hits from 'the Chronic' and some from various Dre albums.

1. Nuthin but a G thang-10/10-Y'all know this
2. Gin and Juice-10/10-From 'doggystyle' by snoop, classic
3. Afro Puffs-9/10-Lady of rage rips this apart
4. Natural Born Killaz-10/10 Featuring ice cube, it is about killing people, classic
5. Murder was the case-9/10 not the version on 'doggystyle' but from a soundtrack
6. Lil Ghetto Boy-10/10-from the chronic, classic
7. Let Me Ride-10/10-see 6
8. California Love-9.5/10-2pac and dre off 'all eyez on me'
9. F-ck Wit' Dre Day-10/10-The eazy e, tim dog and luke diss, classic. Featuring snoop
10 Serial Killa-10/10-off 'doggystyle' featuring doc, kurupt, rbx and others
11.Stranded on death row-10/10-classic off 'the chronic' feature lady of rage, kurupt, bushwick bill (of the geto boys) and snoop.
12.Nuthin but a G thang (remix)-8/10-not as good as original

Overall 10/10
