An Aftermath Entertainment / Interscope Records release;
℗ 1999 © 2019 UMG Recordings, Inc.
Manufactured and distributed by Universal Music Enterprises, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
Made in the EU.

First things first: the world has come a long way in its attitude to women since this album was first released, so in 2019, 2001 sounds - at least lyrically - wrong on many levels. But it is also still very right when it comes to g-funk, west coast rap and second wave hip hop sounds. Listening to it from start to finish is to spend 90 minutes as a fly on the wall of the lives of Snoop, Dre, Eminem and all the rest of the high profile guests. Jam packed with classics and gold standards, this is an album of its time but one that was never bettered.
