n.w.a. straight outta compton = classic

nikkaz4life production = classic but the album as a whole? not to me. shyt was just too over the top and it wasn't the same without cube. but the production is top notch

dr. dre the chronic is obviously classic. chronic 2001 is a classic but not in the same way that the chronic is

eazy e's eazy duz it is a classic. it's on was a really good album as was str8 off the streetz

It's On was an EP, but probably one of the top 3 EP's to have come out. The other 2 are Cube's Kill at Will and that one by Rock and CL Smooth but can't remember the name lol. It was dope though.

EDIT: All Souled Out by Pete Rock & CL Smooth

Straight Outta Compton and The Chronic are definitely classics. I'm not sure what I should vote for 2001 to be honest.

Both Dre albums changed music but the way 2001 completely changed the way people engineer their albums is insane, still to this day you see that shyt and it's still being pushed farther now, TLOP has 2001 all over it, Rodeo did as well to an extreme level. The production was amazing too, birthed Kanye's whole style which turned into all this shyt we have today

Check Xxplosive, that's how Kanye got his whole style

well that's what he said yeah but weirdly enough that whole sped up soul sample thing came from For Heaven's Sake off Wu Forever and that was in 1997, so a couple of years prior to Dre's song.

I'm sure he was influenced by them both anyway. Maybe Dre served more of the foundational setting and template for Ye's beats and RZA was more of the intricacies.

I can't speak much on his influence from RZA, but I know he's mentioned multiple times about Dre being on another level and trying to figure out how he layered shyt like he does. I'm sure he heard the Wu-Tang joint too though
