I agree with what you said. Living Like Hustlers is definitely a classic, and the group is so underrated. Time Will Reveal is actually my favorite of their albums. They had a 5 album run that is almost unmatchable in hip hop.

You cant overlook 187's production work either. Kokane Funk Upon a Rhyme is considered a near classic, plus all the tracks he produced for Eazy, Ren, Frost, Kam, etc...

Im not going to get into how Dre stole his sound from ATL...
