Of all of life's little "first world problems," one of the most thoroughly aggravating arrives when a classic album finds itself strictly designated to a singular streaming service. For many years, such was the unfortunate reality for Dr. Dre's The Chronic, which was exclusively available on Apple Music and Apple Music alone. As such, those who get by using Spotify or Tidal found themselves at a disadvantage. After all, The Chronic is no mere album, but one of the genre's timeless and enduring essentials.

On what can only be described as a "4/20 miracle," all but reeking of Snoop Dogg's marijuana-infused musk, The Chronic has finally made its way on all digital streaming platforms -- even YouTube. Though many hip-hop heads will have likely found some way to procure Dre's Death Row debut by now, the ability to update our favorite 4/20 playlists accordingly will not go unappreciated. Should you be among those who never heard The Chronic, the album where Dr. Dre's solo career kicked off, you've picked the perfect day to dive in. 

With Compton having landed on Spotify last December -- for the first time in three years, mind you-- today marks the first time that Dre's solo catalog is entirely accessible across the board. So, without further ado, take to the comments in celebration. Which songs are your favorite? And perhaps a more challenging question for some: which non-single songs are your favorite?

Though there's an endless amount of music to listen to and discover on streaming platforms these days, there are a few classic projects that have been hard to track down. Dr. Dre's The Chronic, for example, has been evidently missing from all streaming services since platforms like Apple and Spotify have risen to prominence.

It was previously announced that the album would officially hit streaming services on 4/20 but fortunately, TIDAL for the exclusive a day early. The Chronic is now available for your listening pleasures on TIDAL, just a day before the unofficial holiday for budsmokers across the world. What's even more exciting about The Chronic's addition to TIDAL is that the streaming service is offering the sound in Hi-Def as well.

"Fans now have another reason to celebrate on what has become a national holiday, celebrating all things cannabis-related—where legally allowed and in moderation of course," Chris Taylor, global president of eOne's music and live division, said in a press release. "Working with the Death Row catalog is like working with the legendary recordings of Elvis, Chuck Berry, and the Beatles. These historic artifacts should be heard by all music lovers and we are so happy Dr. Dre has opened this door so everyone can experience the brilliance of this seminal work."

Add this to your playlist and ride out to The Chronic in hi-def this 4/20. 

We'd like to think that some of our favorite albums are readily available on the streaming platform of our choice, but that just isn't the case. We still don't have Aaliyah's catalog and Dr. Dre's classic The Chronic will become widely available on April 20. Back in 2016, Future shared his mixtape, Purple Reign. It was the Atlanta rapper's 16th mixtape that hosted no features and had production credits from Metro Boomin, Southside, Zaytoven, DJ Spniz, and more. The 12-track effort's artwork pays homage to late music icon Prince's album of the same name, and for years the project was only available on select platforms.

Now, fans will be able to stream wherever they like, and they took to social media to share their enthusiasm. The news of Purple Reign became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter as fans took a walk down memory lane. The rapper has been slowly, but surely, releasing his projects on all platforms and his supporters can't get enough—especially after seeing that Future added his track "News or Something" to the end.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the project, give it a listen below. For avid future fans, enjoy the memories. Peep a few enthusiastic reactions from fans, as well.

Though streaming platforms offer many conveniences in the listening experience, every so often fans are faced with an irritating conundrum. For years now, Dr. Dre‘s beloved debut The Chronic, released in 1992 as a flagship drop on Death Row Records, has been exclusively available to Apple Music. Those who prefer to use Spotify or Tidal have been forced to go without one of hip-hop’s greatest albums of all time, a cruel fate indeed.

Now, however, it would appear that Dre and his team have decided to spread the love. As of 4/20, The Chronic will be officially appearing across all streaming services, all the more reason to celebrate the weed-fueled holiday. Expect many playlists to be adjusted accordingly, and it wouldn’t be surprising if some younger fans moved to discover the project for the first time.

Songs like “Nuthin But A G Thang,” “Dre Dre,” and of course the oft-memed “Deeez Nuuuts” have been long ingrained within the culture, and it stands to reason that this digital expansion will help highlight some of the album’s deeper cuts. The transition also falls on the heels of The Chronic’s induction into the Library Of Congress, a testament to its significance in hip-hop history. Come 4/20, check back to your chosen DSP and take a trip down memory lane with everybody’s favorite Doctor. 

While it goes without saying that Dr. Dre is a legend, every so often we get a historical reminder of his impact. As of today, his 1992 Death Row debut The Chronic has been archived in the Library of Congress, due to its qualifications as an album “worthy of preservation because of their cultural, historical and aesthetic importance.” In other words, “Deeez Nuuuts” is officially a national treasure.

The hip-hop classic is one of the twenty-five annual selections chosen by the National Recording Registry. Along with The Chronic, Tina Turner’s 1984 album Private Dancer, Dusty Springfield’s 1969 album Dusty In Memphis, and Cheap Trick’s live album Budokan! have also made the cut. Insofar as singles, we’re looking at Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” The Village People’s “Y.M.C.A,” and Selena’s Ven Conmigo.

While it’s hardly littered with hip-hop, the Library Of Congress does recognize rap royalty from time to time. Last year, they brought Jay-Z’s The Blueprint into the fold; previous selections include Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five’s “The Message,” 2Pac‘s “Dear Mama,” De La Soul‘s 3 Feet High & Rising, Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” N.W.A.‘s Straight Outta Compton, and Run DMC’s Raising Hell. 

Congratulations to Dr. Dre for not one, but two preservations in the esteemed cultural library. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before 2001 makes the cut. May we look forward to a future in which more hip-hop projects find themselves honored in kind. Which project do you feel deserve to make the cut?
