G of the Day

For many of you, this is probably your first time on the site. The G of the day segment is an article written about someone dedicating to keepin it G. I encourage you to check out some of our past G's of the day to see what it's really all about. Today's G of the Day: Dr. Dre. With Dre, you have arguably the best producers of all time. Dre' the current founder and CEO of Aftermath Records and former co-owner of Death Row records. He is most well-known for his ability to get artists like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and 50 Cent to the top. Dre is also credited with being one of the lead figures in the sub-genre of hip hop known as G-Funk. In other words, he helped make up a whole sub-genre of hip hop dedicated to G's. I don't know if there's anything much more G than that. Dre has been a part of numerous albums both in his productions and his rapping from the beginning of his rapping career with World Class Wreckin' Cru and N.W.A. to his solo career with the release of arguably two of the best rap albums of all time: The Chronic and The Chronic 2001. And now we will all wait for the third CD of that trilogy: Detox. It's rumored that it's release date is set for 4/20 of this year, but let's keep in mind that there were a lot of rumored release dates so don't hold your breath. A man can still dream can't he. Here's some Andre Young for ya right now, one song from each of the albums (Detox is obviously still up in the air)
