When did Dr Dre get famous?

Dr. Dre rose to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s as part of the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A. (Niggaz Wit Attitudes). N.W.A.'s debut album, "Straight Outta Compton," released in 1988, marked a pivotal moment in hip-hop history and brought the group and Dr. Dre into the spotlight.

However, Dr. Dre's fame truly skyrocketed in the mid-1990s with the release of his solo album, "The Chronic." Produced by Dr. Dre himself, "The Chronic" was a groundbreaking album that showcased his innovative production style, G-funk, and featured collaborations with artists like Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, and Warren G. The album's success, both commercially and critically, solidified Dr. Dre's status as one of the most influential and celebrated figures in hip-hop music.

Since then, Dr. Dre has continued to build upon his success as a record producer, entrepreneur, and artist, working with numerous artists and contributing to the careers of many prominent musicians.
