Objectionable Content

Nearly every song describes murder or violence, usually with “AKs,” “Uzis,” “hollow points,” etc., typified in titles like “A N-gga Witta Gun” and “Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat.” “Deez Nuuts” and “The Doctor’s Office” graphically boast of sexual exploits. “The Day the N-ggaz Took Over” condones looting and arson in the L.A. riots. The title track (a dramatized drug party), “The $20 Sack Pyramid” and other songs openly promote the use of “the chronic”. . . that’s street shorthand for marijuana.

Summary Advisory

This time as a solo artist, Dre once again racks the record stores with advocation of crime, drug use, explicit sex and graphic violence (a chronic problem!). Another socially irresponsible record.
