Here is my review:
This was the first solo album by Dr.Dre since the separation of N.W.A. This album introduced G-Funk aka Gangsta Funk into the Hip-Hop community.
Dr.Dre altered the West Coast sound into a smooth and laid back delivery of rapping style. It also introduced Snoop Dogg( then Snoop Doggy Dogg) into the industry. Snoop Dogg was heavily involved in the album as seen by his guest appearances. The sound was sample-reliant from Funk artists like George Clinton.
It also made Gangsta Rap into a "party-like" theme.
It has been regarded by many to be the most well-produced hip-hop album of all time. It also received the honor of being in Rolling Stones List of 500 greatest albums of all time.
Ranked 137th which was very high for a rap album.
It is the masterpiece of West Coast Hip-Hop and one of the greatest and influential hip-hop albums of all time.
Rating: 5/5 stars ( Timeless Classic)
