I remember copping this from Dark-N-Cold in London. GRODT was like a Schwarzenegger movie on wax.
The timing of this album dropping was always interesting to me. It was essentially the soundtrack to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Not to say it was a sinister plot by the powers that be to have it coincide, but the fact it blew up so huge at the exact same time always made me stop and think. Some interesting parallels.

I like the album, was good, not quite a classic to me but probably a solid 4 mic album.
LMAO....My bad....saw the album cover on first page and got confused.
Overall I agree with @Super Cheech, Massacre was much better.
Album was garage and its mainly due to Dre and Em's (especially him 
) poppy production. I remember hearing what up gangsta and being like Then the next few tracks with Em and dre were just 
(outside many men) Only memorable tracks are what up gangsters and many men to be real. Very ddisappointing debut esp since hes mixtape work was classic (and kind of the template for what we see today) I think the massacre as a whole was more cohesive and had better songs. I also remember freeway debut dropped the same month as GRODT and that shyt blew it away

Naw. It was a little long in the tooth like a snoop album and the bad songs are really shytty, but he had some great songs on their that I would put above his great songs on GRODT. Ski mask way, Baltimore love song, Ryder music, get in my car, a little bit, I'm suppose to die, my hood. I think this is when sctot storch was working with dre and you can tell. Production was much better the the garbage dre was doing earlier in the decade with em

Fukk your corny debates
One of the most overrated albums ever. It had some bangers but it had some fillers too. The buzz, the movement, the anticipation, the Shady Aftermath affiliation, the gangsta persona and story, the magnitude of what a hit In Da Club was>>>>>>>>>>the quality of the album.

Exactly. It was a classic only if you go by its pop culture impact but not its musical quality.
Can anyone really say the quality of this album was on par with what we consider classics like The Chronic, Cuban Linx, Illmatic, Low End Theory, Reasonable Doubt, Nation of Millions, ATLiens, etc. in terms of musical quality? Please.
And those are extreme examples. It wasn't on par with stuff like Illadelph Halflife, 93 Til Infinity, Dah Shinin, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, It Was Written, Doggystyle, Wu Tang Forever, One Day It'll All Make Sense, Hell On Earth, Moment of Truth, and Liquid Swords.
