In late 1992, Dr. Dre released his solo debut The Chronic. The album launched Death Row Records, and the careers of Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, RBX, and others. It also marked the first full-length release from Dre and Suge Knight’s Death Row Records imprint. In videos such as hit single “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang” and on album interlude “Deeez Nuts,” Hip-Hop Heads got an early look at Dr. Dre’s step-brother Warren G. Less than two years after The Chronic, Warren released his debut album, Regulate…The G Funk Era. It contained two Grammy-nominated singles, “Regulate” and “This DJ.” However, his contributions to The Chronic remain murky amid a crowded ensemble with Dre as the focal figure. On the newest episode of Drink Champs, Warren G opens up about the famed album—recently named one of The Most 25 Most Important Rap Albums by Ambrosia For Heads—and details what the inserts did not credit.
