Yeah, I liked the west coast better too. My issue with The Chronic isn't it's fault at all. It just seems like it was the huge album that condemned all non-gangsta styled hip hop to the bargain bin. Sure, gansta rap was around before the Chronic. But, after The Chronic, that's all there was. I loved that album when it came out, heard that shit and damn near every party at a time when I was hanging out with a lot of dope smoking crack slinging mutha fuckas and it was and is great. I just hate what happened to rap music in its aftermath.

PE for me (it's a top 2 album for me). Not that i have anything against Joe Jackson. I haven't heard that album and will probably go check it out due to this competition.

Good work OPA.

The following album will move on to the second round:

Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions
