Having actually heard atleast 3 albums on here, for the first time i can actually vote

.....


.....and its a very hard choice between The Chronic and Mecca & the Soul Brother but i'll probably just pick The Chronic considering ive never been too big on the James Brown/trumpet sort of sound on mecca and the soul brother. But i do like most of the album's beats (some a lot) and can recognise how well produced the album is

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

All the west coast albums (seriously)

 

[Yoda]

mecca and the soul brother gets my vote.

cant beat the pete.

 

[Taadow]

Gotta go with Soul Brother #1 and The Caramel King.

 

[Travellin' Man]

The Chronic followed by Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

 

[THE K-MAN]

The Chronic #1

Mecca And The Soul Brother #2

 

[Clive42]

All the west coast albums (seriously)

You can vote and make a non west coast album win

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Mecca for me.

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

This is really fukking tough.

Obvious answer is The Chronic, but I feel Erick Sermon did a more than commendable job on flipping p-funk samples on the East Coast. Hell he was doing this before Dre I think.

Whut? Thee Album is a stone cold classic, that's getting my vote.

 

[Dr.HannibalLecter]

So Dre will have the best produced album in six different years

G.O.A.T.

 

[THE K-MAN]

So Dre will have the best produced album in six different years

G.O.A.T.

What years are they??

*edit*

[Ron Fox]

So judging by that list Anything Dr Dre wins every year huh? If that aint some revisionist bullshyt I dont know what is.



My prediction, Doggystyle will win for 1993. I can already see it.

 

[Travellin' Man]

Lets put the dikk riding aside because anyone who was around in 92 knows damn well that album didnt make big noise in 92. That album made big noise in 93. 92 was finished by the time that album dropped.

When i think 92 i dont think The Chronic...thats a 93 album, And anyone who says otherwise is on some serious dikk riding bullshyt.

My 2 cents.

Well, it did come out in Dec of 92', so yes, the noise carried over into 93'. But Nuthin but a G Thang did come out like a month before the album dropped and that shyt was everywhere.

But I get what you saying.
