In the '90s, the Death Row label became synonymous with cutting-edge hip-hop, unleashing genre-defying artists like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre on the world. Moving towards the millennium with its credibility undiluted, Death Row decided to release what amounts to a mission statement for the new millennium, masterminded by storied label boss Suge Knight. Over the course of two discs, CHRONIC 2000 offers a cornucopia of hard-hitting West Coast gangsta rap. Artists like Scarface and Daz Dillinger will ring bells with anyone even passingly familiar with Death Row-style hip-hop, but the most intriguing aspect of this densely packed compilation is the presence of many lesser-known acts that constitute rap's future in the 21st century. From the X-rated boasting of Top Dogg on "Top Dogg Cindafella" to Danny Boy, who teams with R&B star K-Ci for some romantic, hip-hop inflected R&B crooning on "Beautiful Lady" CHRONIC 2000 proves definitively that Death Row is more than a '90s phenomenon.
