Thought Paparazzi was dope. And I liked What You See is What You Get but never thought to buy the album.

When I moved out to California I picked up the album and thought it was real dope. Got me through a lot of late night coding sessions at work.

I still pull it out every now and then. Most of it has aged pretty well to my ears.

Now Restless was a let down for me, especially since he had just become affiliated with Aftermath. I thought the Dre collabs would be out of this world, like on What's the Difference?, but in the end I think it weakened his style. He was still hardcore but to me some of his humor and edge were lost.

Really dug Multiply off of Man v Machine. But after that I lost track of his career.

But like you said, those first three albums were / are dope.
