The lyrics on the album received criticism and created some controversy. They include many themes associated with gangsta rap, such as violence, promiscuity, street gangs, drive-by shootings, crime and drug usage. Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that the only subject matter on the album was "violence, drugs, pussy, bitches, dope, guns, and gangsters" and that these themes have become repetitive and unchanged in the last ten years.[11] Critics noted that Dr. Dre had differed from his effort to "clean-up his act" which he tried to establish with his 1996 single, "Been There, Done That" from Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath.[7][12]

Chris Rock once said he preferred Doggystyle to The Chronic, because, while the latter album was sonically impeccable, "It's hard to drive around singing songs about 'Eazy-E can eat a big fat dick.'" Actually, that's not true. This song is such a contagion that after only a few listens millions of people had memorized jimmy jokes that Tim Dog's mother might not have liked.

Once rapper and business mogul Jay-Z bought the streaming service Tidal in 2015, it was only a matter of time until he started using his own impressive catalogue to entice subscribers. Earlier this month he pulled The Blueprint, his critically acclaimed sixth solo album, from every major digital service except Tidal. Some of his other major works, including Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint 3, are also Tidal-exclusive now.
Victoria Monét won over so many fans with her JAGUAR II album, especially with the nostalgic video for "On My Mama." The singer-songwriter unlocked so many memories for '90s/2000's kids from her Ciara-inspired outfits to the snap-like moves in her elaborate dance scenes. In the child-directed video, she pays homage to classic gifs, takeover culture, Chalie Boy, and, of course, her own mother who makes a cameo in the video. Her song and album have already been nominated for several Grammys. At 16 million views and counting, it's only right that the "On My Mama" video is one of the best visuals of the year.
