The Chronic changed hip hop forever. Period.
What was different about hip hop after the chronic?
Well Chronic changed the sound of most HipHop on the Radio, Def Jam snatched up Warren G off of the strength of his production abilities stemming from the Chronic, Ice Cube embraced and switched up his beat selection for Lethal Injection, Biggie used the Formula for his Debut and even more so on his Next Album, You can even hear the Influence in Scarface the Diary. Daz, Warren G, and who knows how many other Ghost producers got a foothold into the game and the sound for the whole 90's changed until from the chronic on along with a new level of Commercial appeal being found in Hip Hop...
But none of these things changed the thing called hip hop. Erick Sermon was using funk beats before Dre. Def jam signing Warren G. just meant they hopped on a wave. What's going on in hip hop now that makes you think "the chronic birthed this"?
Erick sermon wasnt in the same stratosphere as dre
And if the chronic didnt change hip hop then i dont know what did
It certaintly wasnt the genetic sound from ob4cl...just a generic ass new york sound
.....then you just don't know what did. FYI this isn't about which album changed hip hop
No its about what was better....and chronic is much better
