2001

This is Dr. Dre’s classic follow-up to The Chronic. Its title caused confusion, as it was released in 1999 and went through several working titles.

Via MTV:

The album was originally supposed to be called ‘Chronic 2000,’ but Dre switched the title because his former label, Death Row Records, released a compilation album by the same name earlier this year.

The same article mentions “Chronic 2001,” “Dr. Dre” and “Dr. Dre 2001” as other names that were considered.

On the album’s content, Dr. Dre told The New York Times:

Everything you hear is planned. It’s a movie, with different varieties of situations. So you’ve got buildups, touching moments, aggressive moments. You’ve even got a ‘Pause for Porno.’ It’s got everything that a movie needs.

The following songs from 2001 were released as singles: “Still D.R.E.,” “Forgot About Dre,” “The Next Episode” and “The Watcher.”

This album was going to be called Chronic 2000 until Priority Records (who had become Death Row’s new distributor) decided in cohesiveness with Suge to call their Deathrow Compilation album Chronic 2000. Deathrow owned the trademark for The Chronic, as did Interscope Records, who previously distributed Death Row Records. Shortly after Death Row’s Chronic 2000 release, Dr. Dre changed the name of this album to Chronic 2001 and a big budget promotional campaign began. Suge was tipped off about the name of Dr. Dre’s album since notification of the trademark use was required by Aftermath Records. When Aftermath found out that Priority and Death Row planned to use the same name for the album, according to Dr. Dre’s lawyer: “Both sides agreed that we’d allow the other to use the title, and then let the public decide which one they preferred.”

After the Release of Death Row’s Chronic 2000, they were notified that Dr. Dre’s album would be named Chronic 2001. Priority Records at this point decided not to honor the original agreement and threated to sue if the Chronic trademark were to be used in any capacity by Dr. Dre. This led to the album eventually being released simply as 2001.

Dr.Dre在这张专辑里达到的高度前无古人，后难有来者。哪怕只是听Instrumental Version也能让你飞一整夜。《2001》是Hip-Hop史上当之无愧的一张神专。

乔布斯发明了iphone，Dr.Dre发明了《2001》。

听了6年rap再来听2001才知道这是一张怎样的神专，随便一首歌扔你脸上都可以让你无脑嗨起来，当年听的时候才入这个圈，觉得一般般，现在看来，看来确实是我不懂事不懂什么才是好东西。顺便吐槽最新的compton。。。。

不懂hip pop，但这张我觉得特别棒 我的感觉对吗？

西海匪帮黄金年代终结之作

封面哪去了？弄回来!@xxx音乐

我是真服那个Ganguro，从曼森骂到博士。到底什么歌才和你胃口[弱]

突然发现国内平台的2001都缺少一个叫“Pause 4 Porno”的skit，顺序在“Some L.A. Nigxaz”和“Housewife”之间，有兴趣的同学可以去apple music感受一下[奸笑]不用谢

那个实名举报的兄弟是认真的吗...他是不是忘了手动加狗头😓

就因为那一片绿叶子就和谐了…… 应该是大麻

有叶子又不飞你把封面拿走干啥

有片叶子就要拿掉封面？？？

那个hana就是为了黑而黑，而不是无知而黑，所以对这种人不用给他科普什么，也不用和他讲什么道理，为了黑而黑的人，怼他就行了，让他体验下网络暴力

不是，一个住在日本，全听日文歌的人竟然把自己放在国家层次？包容了日本包容不了西海岸？这种人，呵呵了

要说KOD没封面是因为有毒*，这个封面有什么错[流感] 不会是因为有片绿色叶子吧[大哭]

封面不就是张黑了吧唧的图上面添点绿吗？这都能和谐

21世纪还能看到这么较真和愚蠢的老哥真是刷新了在下的眼界

删了并不能掩饰你曾经做过的事biach@華-hana

这波啊…这波以后咱们只能听中国特色社会主义说唱了

那个举报的可拉倒吧，没有中文翻译给你，你怕不是连内容是什么都不知道哦，还粗鄙不堪，你不看歌词听得懂?[撇嘴]

意思是写成f**k我就不认识了还是封面换成黑的就和谐了？xx这是敏感到病态了

不止对xx 有时候我会想 我们中国是含蓄之邦 什么都是保守的 但过于保守真的好吗 过于保守和过于开放都是一种伤害 不知道什么时候我们中国能在保守和开放之间找到一个平衡

你们的规定里面没有一条是禁止一片叶子的 请尽快将封面上传@xxx音乐 @云音乐小秘书 @云音乐曲库

欣赏不了，就要毁掉是吧

还搁这和谐呢？ 我带麻呢

大家注意了，那位举报的带逝貌似开了个小号，叫做doge avicii,试图给自己洗白，歌单前面有几首所谓“污秽”的说唱试图掩耳盗铃，后面还是他最爱的马鹿大爹，这个智商发出那种nt言论也就不足为奇了，不知道A神的粉丝什么感受

👴🏻把嘴里抽剩下的Chronic卷起来塞到@華-hana 那肮脏的py里

真没必要这样 就因为有个叶子就和谐了 有够夸张了真的

又开始一轮自我阉割了，其他app基本没和谐封面

我笑疯了铁汁哈哈哈哈哈哈哈 这人太搞笑了

封面啊喂！一片叶子而已啊！

建议你们赶快把这张专辑下载了，这是xxx在提醒你们，今天没封面，明天没专辑

我记得一两年前是有的，当时因为不小心公放过而记忆深刻

删评论并不可怕，假装失忆也不可怕，可怕的是我都截图了

她以极其让人不适的语言攻击了《2001》这份专辑，说：一份好的专辑不应该会带脏话，而这份专辑里的歌满是污言碎语，不应该录成专辑，然后又说她先实名举报为先。而她自己听的歌又是多么的可笑，毕竟这是有那么久了，我大概印象就这样。

把封面还回来 不然我告xxx不尊重文化@云音乐曲库 @云音乐小秘书

连这个封面都能美 xxx属实🐂🍺嗷

网络上重拳出击，实则刚上初一

加一万个狗头也救不了他了

同感，这张专里简直全是金曲

这是《2001》的第2001条评论

建议xx给自己留个清朝小辫，再裹个小脚，敏感到了变态！！
