Master P had a double cd album before PAC
Forgot about that compilation.
Yeah, but I meant from an artist for their solo album not necessarily a compilation album.
Most of the new R&B copying that OVO Sound (Take Care,Weekend Trilogy & PND1 & 2 )
I would say these are biggest influence on music today. Party the hottest writer right now.Weekend and Drake are some of the biggest pop stars
Check out Kris Kross, JD, Da Brat (1st album), Lil Bow Wow if you want influence of Snoop's debut. Doggystyle was a worldwide hit, not only in the US, prolly close to diamond at this pointI cant really agree with Doggystyle. While its definitely a classic that album isn't possible without the Chronic. I feel like Cuban Linx was a much bigger game changer than 36 but I see why you put it
Country Grammar tho?
Well Country Grammar helped make southern/midwest slang/slurr more accepted, and had a specific poprap formula that many copied (New No Limit...)
Nah, LAD is a pop glossy mafioso rap album.
Shiny Suit Era started with Mase and Puff and their shiny suits and colorful rap videos shot through fish eye lenses.
Illmatic had impact on lyricism and street poetry on that other level.
If Rakim had the bars and technique, Nas had the street poetry mixed with the technique.
At one time it was more bars/technique say Snoop, Rakim, Redman or DOC or content say Scarface, Pac, Cl Smooth or Cube. Nas bridged the gap some would say and I could somewhat agree. But perhaps now that I think of it, Cube and Wu-tang already did that and their albums had major impact.
But yeah, perhaps what Nas did was really just perfecting what cats had done.

Yup. This reminds me of how special videos use to be, man. Even if you didn't care for the video cause of the glossiness of it, videos back then were special.
And OVO copied their sound from:
Aaliyah influenced Drake, Ginuwine's The Bachelor influenced Weeknd, Static influenced Party, there's the rap/singing thing Missy did, Timbaland was the crew's producer.
I'll give you that,
But that's practically a Mase video. Video came out after "I'll be missing you" did.
but eh... song's still on LAD, so

Both played big roles. I’ve hesrd a lot of young artists reference both as inspiration for what they do

There was nothing innovative about it musically or lyrically
This one changed everything.
These two albums set off consciousness in rap.
Holding a pistol something far from a lover
Nothing was the same after this one.
Shout out Schooly D.
But the single biggest most largest game changer of all time?
