2606048, Let's go back in time to 1992 to the anticipation/release of The Chronic

What was the hype like then? What were people thinking and saying (about a Dr. Dre solo album?) especially since Dr. Dre had left Ruthless Records right after finishing up recording N.W.A's platinum Niggaz4Life album; and having Straight Outta Comtpon, Eazy Duz It, No One Can Do It Better and Michell'e's album attached to his name. Did people not even second guess that The Chronic wouldn't be a classic? Was it immediately when people heard Nuthin But a G Thang and or Let Me Ride that they knew Dre would deliver a classic album?

If you can remember exactly what it was like leading up too and after the release of Dr. Dre's classic album please discuss and speak on it.
