Детали релиза : Dr. Dre - The Next Episode (2000) [FLAC (tracks + .cue)]

One of the most powerful and successful rappers in the world, Dr. Dre started his career as one of the founding members of the seminal gangsta rap group N.W.A. (Niggaz With Attitude). Now he is an influential label boss and producer.N.W.A were known for pioneering gangsta rap, which described life on the streets and the attitudes prevalent in gangs using explicit lyrics. At the time N.W.A. came to prominence with 1988's Straight Outta Compton, rap was only just breaking into the mainstream music world, and pop-rap was dominated by acts like DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and LL Cool J. N.W.A. were far more extreme, but despite much controversy they managed to launch the careers of several prominent rappers including Easy-E (now deceased), Ice Cube and The D.O.C.Dr. Dre's own solo album The Chronic (1992) was considered to be highly influential, and helped to popularise gangsta rap with suburban white youth. It is now considered to be one of the all-time greatest hip-hop albums. Although he has not released a solo album in nearly ten years, Dr. Dre continues to make appearances on other artist's albums including Eminem and Snoop Dogg.
