Background
Concept
Dr. Dre talked of his motivation to record the album and how he felt that he had to prove himself to fans and media again:
For the last couple of years, there's been a lot of talk out on the streets about whether or not I can still hold my own, whether or not I'm still good at producing. That was the ultimate motivation for me. Magazines, word of mouth and rap tabloids were saying I didn't have it any more. What more do I need to do? How many platinum records have I made? O. K. , here's the album -- now what do you have to say?[1]
He spoke of how the album was originally intended to be a mixtape; with tracks linked through interludes and turntable effects, but then changed to be set-up like a film,
Everything you hear is planned. A mixtape or mixed tape is a compilation of Songs recorded in a specific order traditionally onto a Compact audio cassette. It's a movie, with different varieties of situations. So you've got buildups, touching moments, aggressive moments. You've even got a 'Pause for Porno. ' It's got everything that a movie needs. [1]
He went on talk of how he did not record the album for club or radio play and that he planned the album simply for entertainment:
I'm not trying to send out any messages or anything with this record. I just basically do hard-core hip-hop and try to add a touch of dark comedy here and there. A lot of times the media just takes this and tries to make it into something else when it's all entertainment first. You should't take it too seriously. [1]
Writing and recording
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. Ryan Montgomery (born July 5, 1977) is an MC known by his Stage name Royce Da 5'9". 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. Jay-Z also wrote lyrics for Dr. Shawn Corey Carter (born December 4 1969 better known as Jay-Z, is an American Rapper and former CEO of Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Dre on the track "The Watcher", where he was listed as "S. Carter" in the song credits.
The album was recorded during 1998 and 1999 after Eminem's release of The Slim Shady LP, which Dr. The Slim Shady LP is the commercial debut Studio album (and second overall from American Rapper Eminem, released in 1999 Dre executive-produced. This style of production was continued onto 2001, with new, sparse beats and reduced use of samples. [2][3]
Scott Storch talked of how Dr. Dre recorded utilised his collaborators during recording sessions, stating:
At the time, I saw Dr. Dre desperately needed something. He needed a fuel injection, and Dre utilized me as the nitrous oxide. He threw me into the mix, and I sort of tapped on a new flavor with my whole piano sound and the strings and orchestration. So I'd be on the keyboards, and Mike [Elizondo] was on the bass guitar, and Dre was on the drum machine. [4]
Josh Tyrangiel of Time has described the recording process with Dr. Time (trademarked in capitals as TIME) is a weekly American Newsmagazine, similar to Newsweek and Dre employs, stating "Every Dre track begins the same way, with Dre behind a drum machine in a room full of trusted musicians. (They carry beepers. When he wants to work, they work. ) He'll program a beat, then ask the musicians to play along; when Dre hears something he likes, he isolates the player and tells him how to refine the sound. "[5]
Music
Production
The album primarily featured co-production between Dr. Dre and Mel-Man and was generally well-received by critics. Early life Melvin Bradford, better known as Mel-Man (a pun on " Mail man " is a Hip hop producer from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Allmusic writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that Dr. allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide. Stephen Thomas Erlewine (1973? is senior editor for Allmusic. Dre had expanded on the G-funk beats on his previous album, The Chronic, and stated, "He's pushed himself hard, finding new variations in the formula by adding ominous strings, soulful vocals, and reggae, resulting in fairly interesting recontextualizations" and went on to say "sonically, this is first-rate, straight-up gangsta". G-funk, or Gangsta Funk, is a type of Hip hop music that emerged from West Coast Gangsta rap in the early 1990s [2] Entertainment Weeklys Tom Sinclair depicted it as "Chilly keyboard motifs gliding across gut-punching bass lines, strings and synths swooping in and out of the mix, naggingly familiar guitar licks providing visceral punctuation". Entertainment Weekly (sometimes abbreviated as EW) is a Magazine published by Time Inc [3] NME described the production as "patented tectonic funk beats and mournful atmospherics". The New Musical Express (better known as the NME) is a Popular music Magazine in the United Kingdom which has been [6] PopMatters praised the production, stating that "the hip-hop rhythms are catchy, sometimes in your face, sometimes subtle, but always a fine backdrop for the power of Dre's voice. "[7] Jon Pareles of The New York Times mentioned that the beats were "lean and immaculate, each one a pithy combination of beat, rap, melody and strategic silences". Jon Pareles is an American Journalist who is chief music critic at the arts section of the New York Times. [8]
The album also marked the beginning of Dr. Dre's collaboration with keyboardist Scott Storch, who had previously worked with The Roots and is credited as a co-writer on several of 2001's tracks, including the hit single "Still D.R.E.". Scott Storch (born December 16 1973) is a Canadian Record producer. The Roots are an American hip-hop band from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. " Still DRE " is a song by Dr Dre, released as the lead single from his multi-platinum second album 2001. Storch would later go on to become a successful producer in his own right, and has been credited as a co-producer with Dr. Dre on some of his productions since. [9]
Lyrics
The lyrics on the album received criticism and created some controversy. They include many of themes associated with gangsta rap, such as violence, promiscuity, street gangs, drive-by shootings, crime and drug usage. Erlewine said that the only subject matter on the album was "violence, drugs, pussy, bitches, dope, guns, and gangsters" and that these themes have became repetitive and unchanged in the last ten years. [2] Critics also noted that Dr. Dre had differed from his effort to "clean-up his act" which he tried to establish with his 1996 single, "Been There, Done That" from Dr. Dre Presents. . . The Aftermath. [3][1] NME mentioned that the album was full of "pig-headed, punk-dicked, 'bitch'-dissing along with requisite dollops of ho-slapping violence, marijuana-addled bravado and penis-sucking wish fulfilment. "[6] Massey noted that the lyrics were overly explicit but praied his delivery and flow: "His rhymes are quick, his delivery laid back yet full of punch. "[7] The rhymes also involve Dr. Dre's return to the forefront of hip hop, which is conveyed in the singles "Still D. R. E. " and "Forgot About Dre". Many critics cited the last track, "The Message"; a song dedicated to Dr. Dre's deceased brother, as what the album could have been without the excessively explicit lyrics,[6][8] with Massey calling it "downright beautiful" and "a classic of modern rap".

Reception
Critical
The album was generally well-received by critics. In Rolling Stones The Immortals - The Greatest Artists of All Time, where Dr. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published Dre was listed at number 54, Kanye West talked of how the track "Xxplosive" inspired him: "'Xxplosive', off 2001, that's [where] I got my entire sound from—if you listen to the track, it's got a soul beat, but it's done with those heavy Dre drums. Kanye Omari West (ˈkɑnjɛj born June 8 1977 is a ten-time Grammy Award -winning American Rapper, Record producer and Singer.

"[13] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic stated, "2001 isn't as consistent or striking as Slim Shady, but the music is always brimming with character. The Slim Shady LP is the commercial debut Studio album (and second overall from American Rapper Eminem, released in 1999 "[2] Entertainment Weekly's Tom Sinclair praised the production, calling it "uncharacteristically sparse sound" from Dr. Dre and that it was as "addictive as it was back when over 3 million record buyers got hooked on The Chronic and Snoop Dogg's Dre-produced Doggystyle" and went on to commend Dr. The Chronic is the Debut album of Hip hop producer and rapper Dr Doggystyle is the 1993 debut album by American West Coast hip hop artist Snoop Doggy Dogg, released by Death Row Records. Dre, stating, "If any rap producer deserves the title "composer", it's he. "[3] NME mentioned that Dr. Dre didn't expand the genre, but it was "powerful enough in parts, but not clever enough to give Will Smith the fear". [6] PopMatters writer Chris Massey declared that "Musically, 2001 is about as close to brilliant as any one gangsta rap album might possibly get. PopMatters is an international Webzine of cultural criticism Its scope is broadly cast on all things pop culture "[7] Christopher John Farley of Time stated that "The beats are fresh and involving, and Dre's collaborations with Eminem and Snoop Dogg have ferocity and wit. For the comedian and SNL actor see Chris Farley. Christopher John Farley is an American journalist. "[14]
The album also received criticism. 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". [2] Sinclair mentioned similar views of the lyrics, calling them "filthy", but noted "none of [this] should diminish Dre's achievement". [3] NME spoke of how the lyrics were too explicit, stating, "As the graphic grooves stretch out, littered with gunfire, bombings and 'copters over Compton, and the bitch-beating baton is handed from Knock-Turnal to Kurupt, 2001 reaches gangsta-rap parody-level with too many tracks coming off like porno-Wu outtakes. "[6] Massey referred to the lyrics as a "caricature of an ethos [rather] than a reflection of any true prevailing beliefs. "[7]

There is also another similarly titled record label Aftermath Music, which is based in Norway.
