It should n’t be all that surprising that Dr. Dre ’s classic debut solo record would be on Apple Music , since Dr. Dre is use by Apple Computer . But it ’s actually very surprising , since The Chronic has never been usable online — at least lawfully .
The Chronic is one of those records – there are n’t that many of them – that ’s simply not on the internet . Really , nowhere . It ’s not only absent from the sprawling catalogs of cyclosis services like Spotify , but it ’s not even on iTunes . Even if you want to pay for a digital download of The Chronic , you ca n’t have it . Which make it find like contraband . LIKE SOME CHRONIC OR SOMETHING .
The backstory of why The Chronic never do online is interesting . As Rolling Stone observe , in 2011 Dr. Drewon the digital rightsto his medicine in motor lodge when a jurist predominate that Dre ’s sometime recording label , Death Row Records , did n’t actually own the digital rights to his medicine , though Death Row still owns the rights to the physical releases . Dre has a report asa ruthless motherfuckerwhen it comes to business concern , so the little anecdote of him poke his music away from the label he had beef cattle with is pretty amusing .
At least part of Apple ’s scheme with Music is secure content that client ca n’t get anywhere else . And with The Chronic , Apple ’s got just about the best sole money can grease one’s palms . So what if it cost$3 billion ?
