No doubt. Then you had Suge's personal attorney David Kenner serving as the lawyer for all the other acts as well. That's a HUGE conflict of interest. It's like the same person representing both the NFL and the player's union.

When it comes down to a legal dispute, we know whose interests are first priority. Dudes was getting raped literally and figuratively at Death Row.

I can't deny you make a great point bout Kenner. Dudes getting raped, or mistreated, see I wouldn't be worried bout that shyt because I'd have either come at Suge with a screwdriver like Daz did, or being from the dirty south I'd called up Uncle Luke to whoop Suge's ass like he did in New Orleans that time.

AEOM is a classic but it does have some filler. I will say this though, if Book 2 was released as one album, it wouldn't be a classic.

I don't know...classic is reserved for the best of the best IMO. I have a 2 song rule. Every song must be a 4 or higher out of 5, and 2 tracks can be atleast a 3. Anything lower isn't a classic to me .

AEOM was a good album, with some great WC production, but classic? nah not imo. I remember when it came out...it seems like people make more of it because MTV constantly paraded it on TV all the time and Pac was always into something. Also, there's a lot of history that the album represents. All that aisde, purely from a musical stand point of what makes a "classic" HH album, the album in total is a 3.5/5 to me. It definitely lacks in certain areas.

Dogg Food, AEOM, and Makaveli aren't classics? Don't know what to tell you if that's how you feel.

You're bring up worldwide sales. I was just talking about the U.S. On top of that, those worldwide sales accumulated over the course of decades. Chronic and Doggystyle sold just like the rest of Death Row's albums (between 2 and 4 million records) back when they came out.

Nope. AEOM has a share of good tracks, but by no means is it "classic" imo. The history involved in making it is "classic" and a novel on it's own. I'm sure it would have been a crazy experience to be in the studio when it was made, but judging purely from a musical perspective? Nah. I know noone likes to hear it, but it's the honest truth and it needs to be said :yeshrug:

Same goes with Makaveli...some good tracks, but a classic album in total? nah.

Dogg Food. Nope. I bought it the day it came out. Overall it's disappointing and didn't live up to the hype. You have to remember too, that back in 1995 the album was suppose to be comparable to The Chronic and Doggystyle...and it never lived up to it for obvious reasons. Besides,the only song anyone even thinks about when they think of that album is "NY, NY" because of the Mobb Deep, CNN controversy that it created.

I still have the cassette of it to this day...most of my tapes I've converted to CD, but this definitely isn't one of them.


As far as album sales go? Whether it's about WW sales or US sales, who cares? I'm just pointing out the fallacy of that logic. Like I said, if we're grading these albums by record sales, then by that rational there are plenty of other classics that include both of Snoop's albums on No Limit Records. Heck, those albums by that definition would out sell 99% of the records that come out today no matter who they are.


And I'm sure that Doggystyle and the Chronic sold more than all of those albums back then too. AEOM doesn't really count given that the double disk is counted twice.

I wasn't equating sales and quality. You said Death Row was fading by '94 which I posted those numbers to show you they were not fading in terms of relevance.

In regards to quality, I've seen Dogg Food, AEOM, and Makaveli all in numerous "GOAT Deathrow album"/"Classic" discussions so you definitely don't speak for the majority on that subject.

Bottom line, you're wrong.
