12863953, Is there another album just as good as The Chronic, 2001, Doggystyle Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Sun Jul-26-15 03:12 PM
I like The Chronic, 2001, and Doggystyle. Is there another Death Row/West Coast album just as good as these albums?
lmao @ the skits on The Chronic
Dude: Oohhhh, I'm ready to fuck some shit up now, baby Chick: Ohh, you can come on and fuck me up Dude: Hmm, hmm, triple cheeseburger Chick: Awww, you're just talking about some food
loooooooooooooool

12863958, early Death Row really don't sound like nothing else. Posted by IkeMoses, Sun Jul-26-15 03:25 PM
lots of niggas (east coast and west) tried to imitate it, of course, but nobody else nailed it. so if you're looking for more of that sound, you not really gonna find it.
there's a lot of dope west coast shit, but it don't sound like Death Row, so i don't know what to tell you.

12863960, Maybe an NWA album was just as good? Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Sun Jul-26-15 03:28 PM

12863965, what i'm saying is there are hella west coast albums just as good Posted by IkeMoses, Sun Jul-26-15 03:35 PM
(if not better)
from Compton's Most Wanted, Cube, Above the Law, King T, lots of niggas.
it's just that they don't really have the same vibe at all.
they ain't good in the same way.
so if you're looking for more of that, you won't really be satisfied.

12864002, yes... Heiro and Pharcyde got a lot of love in the NE.. Posted by legsdiamond, Sun Jul-26-15 05:23 PM
honestly, both those groups kinda his their west coast twang on their debuts.
I was thrown off when Souls started sounded real Oakland hard R on their second album.

12863966, i always liked Dogg Food more than The Chronic... Posted by guru0509, Sun Jul-26-15 03:36 PM
Kurupt will never get the respect he deserves as an MC.
he was snapping from start to finish

Or Daz as a producer. His sound is more Death Row to me than Dre's is.

12863981, Agree. Posted by Brew, Sun Jul-26-15 04:11 PM

He fell off HOARD but his early writing was fucking impeccable. The work he did on Doggz Day Afternoon, for example....christ.

i don't know about better but I definitely listen to Dogg Food more so maybe I do like it better

12864387, I feel like Chronic is "better" and more legendary, but I surely listen to Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Mon Jul-27-15 11:14 AM
Dogg Food waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay way way more.
And people don't even realize how much it inspired other songs/artists/albums. I feel like Trillville "Some cut" = "Bomb ass pussy." And the hook on "And then what" from Jeezy/Mannie Fresh also came from "Bomb ass pussy."

12864212, I got one..D.O.C.- No one can do it better Posted by Fishgrease, Mon Jul-27-15 07:54 AM
The funny thing is that 20+ years later rap demographics have changed and anything coming out of Texas now is no longer considered to be West Coast. Now in 2015, i guess it's to be labeled as Southern rap.

Texas has always been considered Southern rap. We never considered Scarface or the Geto Boys West Coast. D.O.C. was considered West Coast because of his affiliation with N.W.A. and Dre.

12864347, Man, listen...No one in SC, GA, AL, or FL ever thought of TX as Posted by Fishgrease, Mon Jul-27-15 10:16 AM
southern rap until the mid 90's.

12865554, on the West we never considered Texas as West Coast Posted by RobOne4, Tue Jul-28-15 01:53 PM

12865735, well to be fair... Posted by SP1200, Tue Jul-28-15 03:42 PM
"Southern Rap" wasn't even a thing until the mid 90's.
Before that it was more like..."Oh that's memphis rap", "houston Rap", "New Orleans rap", etc. in the South.
And they're also right. No one even knew DOC was from Texas until like the early 2000's lol. Outside of Dallas that is.

"Streetz is a mutha" just as much as those albums, especially in that 97-99 period.

12864871, WoW, I can't tolerate 2001 Posted by Starks dunked on Bulls, Mon Jul-27-15 09:16 PM
I don't know what it is. Maybe I can't stand Eminem. Plus Eminem writing Dre's lyrics. Something about this album is highly corny to me.
The Chronic is raw but 2001 feels watered down.
I was also listening to Doggystyle and it's straight.
Another thing I noticed is on The Chronic there's these skits about "Africans," I think that's where Marshawn Lynch got his "Where my true African's at?"
