let's reach a general consensus. song for song. the chronic vs. doggystyle. discuss and vote!

[darryl]

They seem so similar. I guess i'll go with the chronic since it changed the whole landscape of rap

@stomachlines
I have to go with Doogystyle. The beats on that shyt are still amazing. Still remember when this dropped and how everyone was rockin Cool Water.I still bump The Shiznit and G'z Up Hoes Down.


I still have the original pressed copy from 93.

yeah, i feel that, 100%

i haven't had the original version of doggystyle in yeeeeeeeeeeeeears. i been tryin' to find it at places where they sell used cds but no luck yet. i'll find it though, it's actually fun searchin' through bins of old and used cds sometimes

 

[I love Latina women]

True. the beats on The Chronic are a bit more blocky and sound like 1992. Whereas Doggystyle is more refined and sounds like it could have been made up to four years after it actually came out.

I feel this exact same way about Ready to Die vs Life After Death.

yeah, some of the beats on the chronic don't sound nearly as "smooth" doggystyle

 

[I love Latina women]

8 outta 10 times im pickin the chronic.

But for a label to drop 2 albums like these is just

Quality wise, they're equal.

But the climate of the chronic coupled with soundbites from the LA riots where nikkaz were fed up was just

yeah
those soundbites from the la riots added in were powerful and profound

I like Doggystyle better overall...

But Lil Ghetto Boy>>>>>any song on either album

 

[shopthatwrecks]

the chronic was rush to shyt on eazy...



it was good but that shyt was rushed..

dpggystyle..is what the chronic should have sounded like

dre has 2 perfect albums that he produced...

no one can do it better and doggystyle..

the clarity on both of those are 2ndii none

only 2 albums i think can go track for track sound wise with either of those..

are safe n sound n rhythmalism


if u a future engineer or mixer..u wanna look into doggystyle n no one can do it better from dre

n rhythmalism n safe n sound 4 quik

to learn to master the highs n lows n how to pan perfectly

Although I consigned both being equal,doggystyle is my favorite.
And has the better replay value. It's the hip hip thriller from a sound standpoint. Flawless production while utilizing a great stand out smooth artist to bring it all together.
I give the chronic a few extra points for being a Lil more militant but I definitely bump doggystyle more

 

[NoChillJones]

I believe they're pretty much on the same level , but they're really both DOC albums lowkey

Daz and Warren as well...

Stop. It was not rushed,doesnt sound rushed and Doggystyle was made in two weeks. I like doggystyle more too but you trippin

 

[Mac Casper]

Doggystyle without question is the better album

I'll add nikkaz4life to that list too. Very slept on but I think it was overall one of Dre's best produced albums ever.

I remember there was a video for Lil Ghetto Boy but it was never released as a single due to the fact that Doggystyle was going to come out and they wanted to promote that...

 

[Ohene]

chronic way better
