Il y a 25 ans, Dr Dre sortait un classique aujourd’hui intemporel. Un premier album solo pour le producteur qui allait à tout jamais l’inscrire au panthéon du rap.
À cette occasion, pour Wax Poetics, DJ Matman a pensé un mix avec à la fois les morceaux légendaires du disque, mais aussi des versions alternatives, des remixes et des samples originaux comme ceux émanant des morceaux de Parliament, Donny Hathaway, Clarence Reid, Whodini, ou encore Leon Haywood.
De quoi s’imaginer en Californie à Low Rider fenêtre ouverte.
