How come nikkaz4life don't ever get compared to other classic Hip Hop albums of the 90's?

[Palm Tree's & Blunts]

Paved the way for songs like this

Jesus Christ this song was stupid. Not I sure why it even made the album

 

[Supreme365]

legendary album

Nah

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

It ain't a classic. It's actually a parody of a 'classic' album and these dudes became a parody of themselves when they made it.​

 

[O.Red]

Production wise it's a masterpiece.

If Cube was still there it coulda been the GOAT album.

This.

Only Dre production topping this is The Chronic imo

But you could also argue that this is the last album Dre actually completely did the beats on so it's possibly the GOAT Dr Dre producer album

One of the most underratedly cinematic albums ever released btw

I don't think enough credit goes to yella. He played a lot in the mixing and samples. Not taking anything away from dre though.

If this is true I can admit I didn't know that myself

I think a lot of people weren't sure what his role in NWA was, but yella was on the boards. Digging in the crates for samples and what not. Him and dre were a good combination.

 

[Kisame]

Nah

Yella was Daz before Daz

 

[Big Mel]

At the time I thought the beats were even trash. My ears weren't programmed to be receptive to the early G Funk high pitched synthesizer shyt. It took the Chronic phenomenon for me to be able to go back and recognize the quality of the beat work on Efil4zagin.

But by then it was too little to late.


I never, ever play this album. Ever.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Classic.

My favorite album of theirs

I was 18 when this album came out and had much higher expectations than what I got from the album, don't get me wrong there were some brilliant tracks like 'Always Into Something' but for as great the production was, without Ice Cube to keep things grounded lyrically it became a rather embarrassing caricature of what a gansta rap album was supposed to be, especially when that same year Ice-T dropped original gangsta, and Ice dropped Death Certificate which are better overall works.

Hem lyrics were straight ass people talking bout fake rappers nowadays but give passes to studio gangstas of yesteryear the beats were fire but without cubes the bars were trash
