Surprised House of Pain beat out Dr. Dre. That's what you get for not being on Spotify, I guess.

But "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" is on YouTube.

And, really, no one should be voting if they haven't heard both songs.

Nah, I more meant it as a general diss. I'd be surprised if people hadn't heard it somehow by this point.

It could be sample clearance issue like it is with De La Soul's first four albums.

I think he's holding back on purpose, given how tight he is with Apple. Then again, I haven't checked to see if The Chronic is on Apple Music.

Oh, it is exclusively on Apple Music. I just don't have that streaming service and I just quickly assumed it was sample clearance issues.

Is Apple Music any good?

Tried it briefly, as with Tidal. It's OK. Only reason to stay subscribed is for Dre and the upcoming Carpool Karaoke series. Most of it usually gets to Spotify eventually, and I much prefer it.
I'd just say buy the albums you can't get on Spotify. Most of them are great. Reasonable Doubt, The Chronic, 3 Feet High and Rising...most of them are worth owning.
