Scott Storch

[edit]

I have removed Scott Storch as a producer since he's only credited for playing the keyboards, not actually producing, which is different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.216.229.91 (talk) 16:27, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Album title

[edit]

Isn't the title of this album 2001, and not Dr. Dre 2001. I noticed this article was located at 2001 (album) earlier, and I think it should be moved back there. Teklund 28 June 2005 13:45 (UTC)

Moved. Teklund 17:47, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

i read somewhere that the album was supposed to be named chronic 2000 as it was released in 99. like everything to that time had an 2000 attached at the end of the name. but death row put out "Suge Knight Represents: Chronic 2000" and so dre had to change the title and he just named it 2001 like he was 1 step ahead of suge. tim, 04:57 26 april 2006

The Source reviewed their rating, they gave it 5 mics, not 4.5, just let you know, I don't know witch rating is more suitable, the original one, or the reviewed one.

The most recent review is more suitable. --- Efil4tselaer: Resurrected 17:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The correct album name is Chronic 2001. The leaf symbol before the '2001' on the album cover denotes Chronic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkimemia (talk • contribs) 19:40, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah the proper name is The Chronic 2001. On the side of the album cover it says the chronic 2001, even itunes call it chronic 2001. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siwhat (talk • contribs) 04:11, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Producers

[edit]

Lord Finness needs to be added to the albums producers for producing the track "The Message" Volumesoxxs

Added him. --- Efil4tselaer: Resurrected 17:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty Poor Page

[edit]

I don't know how to use Wiki but this page is horrible. Some mention needs to be made that a high number of the songs Dre does not even rap on. Additionally it should be mentioned Hittman was the one who ghost wrote the majority of the album, I believe Royce only wrote three Dre tracks (The D.O.C. also wrote a little). It should also be mentioned Hittman, with Ackrite had the only solo song on the album besides Dre. Also less emphasis needs to be put on what Scott Storch actually wrote, it was very little.

I will add the part with Dre not rapping on a lot of songs, I added information about Hittman being the only one that had a solo song on the album. However, I will need a source for Hittman ghostwriting a lot. --- Efil4tselaer: Resurrected 17:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i think Six-Two ghostwrote dre's verse on bitch niggaz. apparently someone called Stocks McGuire also wrote some.

Fair use rationale for Image:Dr. Dre feat. Eminem - Forgot about Dre.jpeg

[edit]

Image:Dr. Dre feat. Eminem - Forgot about Dre.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rating by XXL magazine

[edit]

The wiki page on XXL says that this album received a rating of XXL, instead of favorable. it seems that one should be changed to match the other 69.152.44.226 16:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changed it. --- Realest4Life 17:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Production List

[edit]

Mel Man should be listed under all the tracks except for "The Message". If Scott Storch is included in the production of Still D.R.E. then also include him under the production of the other tracks he did on the album..

GA Review

[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:2001 (album)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

  • Lead needs work; split into two/three paragraphs, etc. etc.
  • First quote in Concept section makes little sense without context... what's the last album, what are the magazines talking about, etc. etc.
  • I'm never happy to see a section with more quoting than own-words.
  • "Royce Da 5'9" was used as a ghostwriter on the album, however, when that information was leaked to the media by Royce's then-manager, Royce was disassociated with Dr. Dre. One track, "Xxplosive", was even retouched; the original version named "The Way I Be Pimpin'" and had Dr. Dre rapping by himself and featured Royce's vocals on the chorus, which were removed. The track was later released on Dr. Dre's mixtape, Pretox." - sources?
  • "Scott Storch talked of how..." - who's he?
  • "Erlewine talked of how the amount and quality of guest rappers affected the album, stating "Why does a producer as original as Dre work with such pedestrian rappers? Perhaps it's to ensure his control over the project, or to mask his own shortcomings as an MC, but the album suffers considerably as a result" and also criticised the lyrics, which he said were repetitive and full of "gangsta clichés"" - long and hard to read
  • It didn't chart in Australia?
  • Impact section is pretty much OR without some sourcing...

Overall it's OK for GA standards (bar the stuff above), but still a while off FA. Leave me a note when done. Cheers, giggy (:O) 08:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken care of everything except if it charted in Australia. Do you know what site could source that info ? - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 18:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... nothing... giggy (:O) 05:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This GAN has passed, and this is now a good article! If you found this review helpful, please consider helping out a fellow editor by reviewing another good article nomination. Help and advice on how to do so is available at Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles, and you can ask for the help of a GAN mentor, if you wish.
