Dr. Dre – The Next Episode (1999)

July 23, 2013

This song is part of my childhood! Quite a strange thing to say, considering I’m not from the streets of CPT, and that I never grew up to develop a taste for gin, khakis and mackin’ bitches. I’m partial to the chronic, however I doubt that has got anything to do with Nate Dogg’s g-funk serenading. This is a classic Dr. Dre track, and it’s a shame that he never made more solo albums; this is epic rap tunage right here. Snoop Dogg’s presence is almost always welcome and Nate Dogg’s silky baritone is the voice of a place in time that will always be special to me.

This is a bona fide DJ single. Side A holds the original and the radio edit, whilst side B contains an instrumental and an acapella for all you scratch happy nerds out there. This was released in 1999 by Interscope and Dre’s very own Aftermath label.
