I fee you breh. What I’m trying to do is narrow down the coli’s top 5 all time. Those two might get an automatic pass to the last round

DOC don't need to be up there.

Nah, I know some of you old heads might pull seniority but Funky Enough was easily one of the more accessible 80s rap records for us 90s babies to "get."

DOC benefits greatly from being associated with NWA.

Nah its the production.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Nah its the production.

there were albums during that time with more advanced production.

not to mention, most of DOC's style was already dated before '89 but that's besides the point.
