First of I must say that Snoops “The Last Meal” is being highly disrespected by not being included in the poll top to bottom fire ...what Dre did with those joints was some of his dopest shyt at the time ...Henn & Buddah
But moving on ...I had to vote for Tone ...the consistency of that production is just ...

and it’s funny too because being a westsider I remember seeing the 4-1/2 or 5 mix source review as a youngster like 14 and being like ohhh damn I gotta check this out ... then I went to Virgin records and listened to it on the little listening station and I was like

nikka what the fukk is this dusty ass east coast bullshyt ... shyt ain’t even got no bass

and where is this old CAC broadcaster coming from ...FOH ...this overrated AF ....fukk THE SOURCE
Then as my ears evolved over the years ...my next door neighbor was all into that underground shyt and I heard him slapping the fukk outta the GhostDeni in his firebird with like 2 15’s and I was like who the fukk is that you playing bruh? And he was like you don’t know Ghostface Killah? And I was like yeah but nothing that hit hard like that ... so anyways he let me burn a copy and it was over from there .... my eyes were opened to the beauty of them dirty drums those grainy samples ...the transitions it just all hit me at once How Fire this shyt was ... I was sleep all these years now it’s damn near in my top 10
