Answer: Death Row Records

Arguably the best rap label of the early '90's, Death Row featured artists like Snoop Doggy Dogg, 2Pac, and Tha Dogg Pound. Bad Boy is P. Diddy's label which was involved in an ongoing feud with Death Row, Interscope is Death Row's parent affiliate, and Koch is an idependent label in the South.

7. Dre's solo debut on Death Row Records was released in 1992. What was it titled?

Answer: The Chronic

"The Chronic" was named after the extremely potent marijuana that Snoop Dogg introduced to the rapper. The album, one of rap's all time greatest, launched the career of not only Dre, but Snoop Doggy Dogg. "Doggystyle" was Snoop's debut, and "Death Certificate" and "Lethal Injection" are both Ice Cube albums.

9. Which of the following artists became popular without the production and help of Dr. Dre?

Answer: DJ Quik

The two producer/rappers have worked together; however, DJ Quik was able to make a name for himself without Dre. Judging by the other three artists, you can see Dr. Dre is very knowledgeable when it comes to finding talent.

10. Dr. Dre released an album in 1999. He was at first set to release the follow-up to that album some time in late 2005/early 2006. What are the names of both of those albums respectively?

Answer: "The Chronic 2001" and "Detox"

Even though the album was released in 1999, Dre titled the album "The Chronic 2001" because it was said, "to be just as great and listened to two years from now...," "Detox" was still not released more than five years after its initial expected release date, and has become something of a legend to fans - will it ever be finished?
