OutKast-ATLiens 2Pac-Me Against the World 8ball & MJG-On Top of the World UGK- Ridin Dirty OutKast-Aquemini These albums are in a league of their own when it comes to production.
The mixing and mastering on Aqemini are exceptional. I only dock it for that Mamacita song, because I feel like that beat kinda, sorta drowned out some of the lyrics. I have Atliens ahead of it. Both albums are next level as far as what Organized Noize did with live instrumemtation.
In my opinion Me Against The World is and will always be Pac’s greatest album. From the production to the lyrics. There aren’t too many albums that even come close to quality that Pac delivered on Me Against the World.
Makaveli was on another level. And it’s crazy because he didn’t even intend that to be an album, it was supposed to be a mixtape for mom and pop stores. I think Pac was about 1-2 years away from hitting his prime years and it sucks we’ll never get to hear what he could’ve done bc by the time he got to Makaveli he was able to balance making thought provoking and conscious songs with the songs that could grab the gangsters and lost youth of the ghetto who he wanted to reach to teach.
All factz. It's scary to think, musically and conceptual wise, just how high 2Pac would've soared in the late '90s/early 2000s, because he was still getting better. He was nowhere near his peak writing wise. I think he would've eventually transitioned into writing movies and perhaps screenplays, but he may have gave us more thought provoking music well into the 2005-2010 era. Sadly, we'll never know. Smdh. R.I.P. Tupac Shakur, the undisputed 🐐 🐐
You are wrong about it being a mixtape, no one made mixtape's! No one in the early and mid 90s made mixtape's. No one from the west coast or down south had mixtape's!!
@@jconleyiv625Mixtapes were in rotation in NY in the mid 90's. Death Row's publicist Papa G says that Makaveli was intended to be a street album/mixtape, not for commercial release.
Y'all gon lie like it wasn't supposed to be a mixtape.... Death row disrespected it by editing his product. Didn't Kim diss him before hit em up came out On a bad boy mixtape? Back to Makaveli, he knew what mixtapes were. But he started a trend by using protools and y'all refused to give him his propers for it.
Makaveli was pac best album best they made that album from scratch he prove he didn’t need a big time producer like me against world and all eyes on me was producer by major producer like easy moe b and Jhonny than Dr Dre and Daz but makaveli had no big time producer just amateur and it was made from scratch all eyes on me a lot those songs was already ready from pac or the beat was given to pac or they took people off songs and gave to pac and me against world was completed but the label made changes on the some of those songs before they put it out while pac was lock up
Speaking of Wicked talking about DJ Quik in the club, did ya’ll know DJ Quik did the drums for 50 Cent In Da Club track? He also did co-production on How We Do with Game and 50 Cent. Quik also worked with the Neptunes on Nelly “Hot in Here”. He also worked on Kendrick “King Kunta” track. He’s done a lot of more work behind than his own projects. He also taught your favorite producer Dr. Dre mixing techniques and provided him sounds.
TOP 5 Sonically Produced Albums (No Order) 1. The Chronic ( The 1st to have Sound Quality & Mixing at that Level) 2. DoggyStyle (Crystal Clear Sound & Mixing even better than the Chronic) 3. All Eyez On Me (Sound Quality, Live instrumentals, & Mixing Sounded better than everything else out at that time !!!) 4. Chronic 2001 (A return & enhanced Level of Sound Quality & Mixing) 5. E. 99 Eternal ( Nobody was using these types of Sounds on record & Top Notch Mixing)
I disagree with one thing you said. I believe the chronic is mixed better than doggy style. The chronic has more of a warm feel. On Doggy style it's like Dre was focused on the highs. To me he had the high hats too bright. Now the Dogg Food album my opinion has a better mix than the Chronic. I noticed when Dre mix he sticks to the same method for the entire album but he uses a diy mixing technique for each album. For instance listen to the GTA album Dre is using a entirety different mixing method. You do have a good ear for music though
@@dwaynesanders5725 did Dre even mix that GTA ep? It sounded well below par than what we're accustomed to from him. Weird rollout too. It was on TH-cam before they put it on streaming sites.
Damn. I forgot 400 Degreez. Mannie Fresh snapped on there. I think he still had Funkfangaz and another guy, who's name I'm forgetting, playing some live instruments on that album. Sonically, 400 Degreez ain't no joke. The albums sounds "big," if that makes sense, particularly on the right kinda sound system. When "HA" dropped, I'm in Los Angeles. I didn't understand that record at first. But then when I got "it," I got it! 👍👍👍
Makaveli was definitely better than all eyez on me. Lyrics, production. Besides the riding, he was going back into his revolutionary bag and getting back to the Tupac his true fans was used to. All eyes on me was more of him celebrating getting out of prison so it was more of a " Idgaf" it had a lot party songs dope album but Makaveli was next level
@@timfwaygo2537factz. I remember 2Pac using the Euthenasia title on MTV right after he got out the pen. Great move by Suge Knight suggesting AEOM as the more appropriate title. That title fit the music better, too.
No drama. No beef. No gossip about who's gay or who's snitching. This level of hip hop discussion is why I support this channel. You can always tell by the depth of their discussion that B-High and Wicked are genuine hip hop heads. As far as Dj Quik, he def doesnt get his flowers at the level he should. To me, he's the greatest producer/rapper. I dont count guys like Rakim, Ice Cube, Scarface and Eminem, because even tho they all produced too, we think of them as rappers first, not producers. Quik arguably has 3-4 classic solo albums. Quik's not held as high as Dre, because he didnt help cultivate and break all-time artists like NWA, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar. As far as the 2Pac debate, there's no wrong answer between whether AEOM or Makaveli is better. Imma Makaveli guy, because I think it's a continuation, in some ways, of where he left off with MATW, with the dark introspective lyrics, dark production, and socio-political topics. AEOM is a masterpiece, but that's moreso a Death Row album than a 2Pac album, if that makes sense. Hell, nearly a third of the songs on there already belonged to Death Row artists before 2Pac got there. My top 5 albums sonically, in no particular order: 1.) Midnight Marauders by ATCQ. Incredible sample-digging and flips by Q-Tip 2.) The Chronic by Dr Dre. Put simply, hip hop's landscape, sonically, forever changed when this dropped. 3.) It Takes A Nation by PE. Two words: Bomb Squad! 4.) Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg. See: The Chronic comments above. It's a continuation of that. 5.) Life After Death by Big. Sonically, the mixing and mastering here is still better than what's out today despite being done in the analog era. Honorable mentions: 1. AEOM 2. Chronic 2001 3. 3 Feet High and Rising 4. Dogg Food 5. Atliens 6. Balance & Options 7. Safe & Sound
As much as I love Makaveli I gotta disagree. All Eyez On Me is the greatest album ever! Idc! The story behind it, the risk to put 27 songs out and to not have skippable songs is a whole another level. Both discs were str8 🔥 and imo nothing tops All Eyez On Me.
Producers that didn't get enough recognitions other than DJ Quick,Daz Warran G such as... 1. EA Ski 2. Ant Banks 3. Legendary Traxter 4. DJ U-Neek 5. T-Mix
Makaveli is a better rap album. AEOM is a better soundtrack to where the West was at that period of time. AEOM he was experimenting. Makaveli, MATW, Thug Life is more of who Pac is/was. But if you put a nice pair of headphones on and turn AEOM all the way up, the PRODUCTION is better. On Makaveli Pac took producers from the “wack room” and maxed out their ability.
My opinion, all eyez was harder. Team effort makes a dream effort ! My grandmother hated secular music, but all eyez on me got a pass in the house. Makaveli is my favorite, but all eyes was the better body of work. It was two disc of hit records. Makaveli was a posthumous release that just so happened to sell. 7x platinum. But all eyez sold triple makaveli it was two disc ! Actually riaa should recertify and change the criterion for double CDs.
The Chronic is the best sonic sounding album of all time hands down. Wicked Spot on with dat one. Shoutout to Wick and B. Love yall from Columbia S.C. 💪🏾❤️❤️❤️👍🏾
I think DJ Quik is behind more records and has produced more albums by HIMSELF than Dre . Quik has done 2llNone , Suga Free , Penthouse Playas , Shaq , Tone Toni Tone , Janet Jackson , R Kelly , Truth Hurts , Jay Z , Snoop Dogg , Kurupt , 2Pac , Eazy E and so on . He also wrote , produced and engineered all his stuff .
@@demetriusrousseau7919 Quik said he only mixed Checc me out and My Nigga for Nipsey and YG , TDE only sampled Quik’s baseline on King Kunta and Dre used Quik’s drums and high hat sounds on in the club for 50 . He didn’t produce the entire records . He said that . But he did produce for AMG and Janet .

@@parksideniggI'd put the Blueprint before RD. RD is a classic album, but some of it wasn't mixed that well. Some of that production sounds really dated, too.
LAD isn’t sonically better than aeom those bad boy mixes weren’t on point like Brian Big Bass Gardner from the west coast. Niggaz4life still the best mixed album of all time. Know your music mane. Best produced albums Niggaz4life GRODT Aeom Soul food Chronic
Illmatic doesn’t sound good production wise it was weak( it don’t have no kick.) And those east coast mixes were worse than those No limit mixes listen to the mix of Lil Kim hardcore then immediately put in Straight outta Compton or Niggaz for life then you’ll see the difference. No air , no popping, just clear music..
*DJ Quik & DJ Battlecat* are just as great as Dre without a doubt, there’s alot of producers who have never got their proper respect & acknowledgment who need to be mentioned at all times when speaking on producers…. *BOSkO* *theLegendaryTraxster* *DJ UNeek* *KLC* *JazzePha* *MikeDean/NOjoe*

Do y’all know the definition of what you speak? Greatest and best are two different things. The best is what you think is the cream of the crop. The greatest is a size, a stature .. All Eyez On Me is the album that solidified him as the greatest rapper during that time and 4eva, it’s the rap equivalent of thriller Beecher it went diamond and it went platinum world wide in about another 15 countries. And before I’m going Makavelli I’m going Me Against the world and they all classics back to back to back..🏆 🏆 🏆

My top 5 sonically produced albums: 1. All Eyez On Me - 2Pac 2. Dogg Food - Tha Dogg Pound 3. The Documentary - The Game 4. 400 Degreez - Juvenile 5. The Chronic - Dr. Dre
Dogg Food 🔥 🔥 🔥. Great team effort by Daz, Dr. Dre, Soopafly on the keys and percussion, Dj Pooh. Quik says he did some "ghost" work here, but never explained what exactly. Quik was around Death Row at that time, so it's plausible.
I thought Quik is worshipped like a God on the West Coast even Crips bump his music.Quik and his crew was the second major movement after NWA.Everybody and they mama loved Quik back in the day he was Snoop before Snoop in the black community its just Snoop crossed over to white suburban kids more than Quik did.Its crazy knowing Quik is more remembered for his hair instead of his talent
People seem to forget 30 Year's of Comin out Hard in 50 years of Hip-Hop. Debut album may have been more familiar in the South before receiving full recognition in Hip-Hop. However many seem to forget and realized the album dropped 5 months prior in August before DoggyStyle released in December 93. Till this day with high praise and recognize 30 years today. 8ball and MJG deserve the same for Comin Out Hard 💯💯💯
My top 5 best producer and best produced albums 1. The Chronic - Producer- Dr Dre 2. Dogg Food - Producer- Daz , mixed by Dr Dre 3. Only Built for Cuban Linxs -Producer RZA 4. AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted - Producer Bomb Squad 5. Safe and Sound -Producer- DJ Quik Underrated Producers 1. DJ Quik 2. Wildstyle- Crucial Conflict 3. DJ Battle Cat 4. DJ Ready Red - Rap-A-Lot 5.

1.Dr. Dre The Chronic 2. Makaveli 7 day Theory 3. OutKast SouthernPlayalistic 4. Scarface Deeply Rooted 5. Snoop Dogg Doggystyle Smoke Johnson is the name
In no particular order. And not even the be all and end all for me, but: The Untouchable - Scarface God’s Son - Nas Anghellic - Tech N9ne Under tha Influence - DJ Quik I Want It All - Warren G Honourable mentions for me: Just Tryin’ Ta Live - Devin The Dude Can You Feel Me - Dru Down Thug Life - Thug Life Quality - Talib Kweli Each of these albums has musical themes rubbing throughout them, giving a smooth listening experience (in different ways for each of them).
The Chronic, Onyx bacdafucup, wutang enter the wutang, outkast aquemini, atliens, my list you lot entertain me all the way here in Nottingham England, always love your interviews best show out there for real hip hop 🎉🎉🎉
Eightball&mjg outside looking in album was riding all the way threw,tela piece of mind,, ghetto mafia full blooded,Twista adrenaline rush, Scarface untouchable.. those are albums that was produced with all riding tracks and are albums that were also slipped on....

DJ Quik was the first artist/producer to go platinum way before Kanye.Niggas use to love Quik but when they found out he made his own beats from that first album they really lost it
In no particular order..The Chronic ..Rick Rubin doesn't get enough credit and I think it's because of the times..so is Marley Mark.. I don't think they get enough credit and again I think it's because of the times but they pioneered a whole movement.. Juvenile 400degrees...I can't think of a whack track Mannie ever made.. Nas Illmatic..Jay-Z American Gangster.. Lyrically I think it was his best album..That whole Suave House movement production was crazy.. Straight outta Compton..I know I was all over the place with albums and producers but Galaxy Wick..you are a legend ..you know where I'm coming from
OutKast-ATLiens
2Pac-Me Against the World

Illmatic, Blueprint, College Dropout, Philadelphia Freeway, Mista Dont Play, 400 Degreez.. Best sonically...
Juvenile - 400 Degreez
Young Jeezy - Thug Motivation 101
Young Jeezy - Recession
Tupac - Makaveli

3. Life After Death
4. Doggystyle
5. Illmatic
Reasonable doubt gotta be up there
@@parksidenigg that or Blueprint you right about that
@@parksideniggI'd put the Blueprint before RD. RD is a classic album, but some of it wasn't mixed that well. Some of that production sounds really dated, too.
LAD isn’t sonically better than aeom those bad boy mixes weren’t on point like Brian Big Bass Gardner from the west coast.
Niggaz4life still the best mixed album of all time.
Know your music mane.
Best produced albums
Niggaz4life
GRODT
Aeom
Soul food
Chronic
Illmatic doesn’t sound good production wise it was weak( it don’t have no kick.) And those east coast mixes were worse than those No limit mixes listen to the mix of Lil Kim hardcore then immediately put in Straight outta Compton or Niggaz for life then you’ll see the difference.
No air , no popping, just clear music..
*DJ Quik & DJ Battlecat*
are just as great as Dre without a doubt, there’s alot of producers who have never got their proper respect & acknowledgment who need to be mentioned at all times when speaking on producers….
*BOSkO*
*theLegendaryTraxster*
*DJ UNeek*
*KLC*
*JazzePha*
*MikeDean/NOjoe*
I agree with him this time... All Eyes On Me was all of Death Row Records songs they gave Pac when he got home.. Makaveli is a complete 2pac album
Master P's "Down South Hustlers" compilation was a double album that pre dates All eyes on Me.
E40 had one also
@@leegermany4169 but Down South hustlers was B4 even 40's
I was just about to say that too😂
ACTUALLY Down south hustlers, was the first hip-hop double album. Master p released in October 95'
You’re correct P did it first but actually that’s a compilation
Pac wrote Me against the world, All eyes on me and Makaveli in a Year in a half...........Crazy!
Me Against the World was better than both of them.... and Thug Life was close.
Makaveli was on another level Hail Mary, Me & My girlfriend, Bomb first should tell you that
@@60ballkilla what? Than Me Against the World? 🤔 The album where every single song was a classic and he wasn't promoting The Agenda yet? 🙃🫠

Do y’all know the definition of what you speak?
Greatest and best are two different things.
The best is what you think is the cream of the crop.
The greatest is a size, a stature ..
All Eyez On Me is the album that solidified him as the greatest rapper during that time and 4eva, it’s the rap equivalent of thriller Beecher it went diamond and it went platinum world wide in about another 15 countries.
And before I’m going Makavelli I’m going Me Against the world and they all classics back to back to back..🏆 🏆 🏆
The Chronic, Doggy style & Dogg Food was a Trilogy.
1.Dr. Dre-The Chronic(Fire)
2.Bone Thugs N Harmony-E.99 Eternal(It was just unique and different in a great way)
3.Outkast-Aquemini(They took it to another level on this one)
4.Makaveli-7 Day Theory(Unique spiritual and he recorded it in 6 or 7 days)
5.UGK-Ridin Dirty(Just different & unexpected)
Honorable Mention: DJ Quik-Rhythmalism, 8Ball & MJG-On top of the world album, Warren G-Regulate Era, Ice Cube-AmeriKKK's Most Wanted, Dayton Family-FBI, Snoop-Doggystyle, 2pac- All Eyez on Me
BHigh hit the nail on the head about Do or Die! Still one of my favorite groups till this day!!!!
1. Dr. Dre - Chronic 2001
2. Outlast - Aquemini
3. Snoop Dogg - Doggy Style
4. 8ball & MJG - In Our Lifetime
5. Twista - Adrenaline Rush
Do or Die yet hit the nail on the head people don't talk about them enough salute to y'all foreal.
Here's just a few on my unrated artist...
Big Boi... MC Ren... Ludacris... Mia X... C-Murder...
Monie Love... DJ Quik... Lloyd Banks... Vado... Styles P... Sheek Louch... Mase... Cam'ron... Big Pun... Lady Of Rage and RBX
People be sleep on Banks . Banks can go bar for bar with any rapper real talk
My top 5 sonically produced albums:
1. All Eyez On Me - 2Pac
2. Dogg Food - Tha Dogg Pound
3. The Documentary - The Game
4. 400 Degreez - Juvenile
5. The Chronic - Dr. Dre
Dogg Food 🔥 🔥 🔥. Great team effort by Daz, Dr. Dre, Soopafly on the keys and percussion, Dj Pooh. Quik says he did some "ghost" work here, but never explained what exactly. Quik was around Death Row at that time, so it's plausible.
Being from the West Coast you're right about Quick they don't give him enough credit but honestly it's because he's a Blood👌
I thought Quik is worshipped like a God on the West Coast even Crips bump his music.Quik and his crew was the second major movement after NWA.Everybody and they mama loved Quik back in the day he was Snoop before Snoop in the black community its just Snoop crossed over to white suburban kids more than Quik did.Its crazy knowing Quik is more remembered for his hair instead of his talent
@@TH-cam_Street_Drifter but believe me he doesn't get the credit he deserves because of DR Dre impact
Nothing can beat a double disk of heat
Gotta tune in to 1 of the most positive and grown folks podcast 👌 💯..Salute 🫡 Fellows keep going up.....
Ima a fan of the 2pacalypse era pac if my homies call is definitely one his best tracks put out
Warren G - G Funk Era
Dre - Chronic/Doggystyle
U-neek -E.99/Art of War
OutKast- ATLiens/Aquemini
3-6 - Last 2 Walk
People seem to forget 30 Year's of Comin out Hard in 50 years of Hip-Hop. Debut album may have been more familiar in the South before receiving full recognition in Hip-Hop. However many seem to forget and realized the album dropped 5 months prior in August before DoggyStyle released in December 93. Till this day with high praise and recognize 30 years today. 8ball and MJG deserve the same for Comin Out Hard 💯💯💯
My top 5 best producer and best produced albums

DJ Quik was the first artist/producer to go platinum way before Kanye.Niggas use to love Quik but when they found out he made his own beats from that first album they really lost it
I agree. Makaveli was street , political , and spiritual!!!!!!!!!!
That why i love yall. This is a real hip hop show rite here
PAC separated on Makaveli because of “White Man World” actually he became number 1 rapper, best song to this day.

Lil Wayne- Carter lll (3)
Jay-Z- Black album (4)
2pac- All eyez on me (2)
Dr Dre- The Chronic (1)
RIP Dirt and Truck🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
In no particular order..The Chronic ..Rick Rubin doesn't get enough credit and I think it's because of the times..so is Marley Mark.. I don't think they get enough credit and again I think it's because of the times but they pioneered a whole movement.. Juvenile 400degrees...I can't think of a whack track Mannie ever made.. Nas Illmatic..Jay-Z American Gangster.. Lyrically I think it was his best album..That whole Suave House movement production was crazy.. Straight outta Compton..I know I was all over the place with albums and producers but Galaxy Wick..you are a legend ..you know where I'm coming from
