What's the best West Coast Rap album of all time?
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
I dunno. I grew up listening to Straight Outta Compton and Eazy-Duz-It on my Walkman, but I think Niggaz4life is the epitome of the era. It was the start of the transition to The Chronic and Doggystyle.
Before the transition, No One Can Do It Better and Livin' Like Hustlers were Dr. Dre to perfection.

I love it. I've always wanted to ask him if this was intentional. Also, DJ Quik saying "Dain Bramage" in Born and Raised.
As dope as TPAB is, these albums felt very West Coast not only in their style but lyrics and basically everyday life of the West. GKMC was way more of a West Coast album than TPAB.
This...id personally add G Funk but it's really between these two.
Don't think The Chronic holds up personally. It's kinda petty and catty, with some homophobic lines.
I'd go for the safe answer of Good Kid Maad city to be honest. That album is just so replayable, well-crafted, ambitious, yet controlled and kinda concise.
