Black Mafia Life is a classic album recorded right before Dr.Dre left Ruthless and started working on The Chronic. Basically, the story is that this album is what inspired Dr. Dre’s G-Funk sound, cuz Dre was around for most of the recordings.
Although The Chronic dropped shortly BEFORE Black Mafia Life, ATL already had this album finished and ready to go before The Chronic. ATL were pretty salty about this to say the least.
Never Missin A Beat has the same ill baseline as Dre Day and Snoop’s What’s My Name. Honestly, Dre was close to running that bass into the ground.
Obviously Dre perfected this sound and put his stamp on it, but it’s a shame how this album is buried, out of print and not available on Apple Music. Might be on Spotify tho. I have the tape but I’ve been listening to this on YouTube lately.
30 year old album. Classic G s**t. Not as good as The Chronic by any stretch of the imagination, but what would Dre have become if he never heard Black Mafia Life?
