At the tail-end of 1992, G-Funk pioneer Dr. Dre introduced the world to a 19-year-old Snoop Dogg on The Chronic<\/em>. And Snoop wasn\u2019t just a featured guest on the album, either: The Doggfather appeared on 13 of the album\u2019s 17 tracks. The groundbreaking record also launched the careers of other now-legendary West Coast artists, including Nate Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Warren G, Kurupt, Lady of Rage, D.O.C, and RBX. The Chronic\u2019s <\/em>influence on hip-hop, cannabis culture, and history is unparalleled, and it\u2019s still felt throughout the world to this day. <\/p>\n

In fact, The Chronic <\/em>left such a profound impact on American culture that the US Library of Congress \u2014 the nation\u2019s most pristine historical archive \u2014 recently inducted the album into the National Recording Registry<\/u><\/a>, forever preserving the work as an \u201caural treasure\u201d for future generations.<\/p>\n
