Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
First to recommend
Description
This is Eminem's second CD and I believe his most successful. He really nails this one. This CD and Dr. Dre's 2001 were the perfect mix to start off the 2K era. It almost seemed like the 2000's were going to have a lot more potential but unfortunately things don't always finish as they start.

The Game - Doctor's Advocate
First to recommend
Description
This CD usually gets a lot of flak for not being as good as The Documentary but I think all of that is rubbish. Sure Dr. Dre didn't produce this CD and it didn't sell nearly as many copies but if you were to actually listen to FULLY listen to both CD's (not just the singles) you'd find that this is a far more rounded CD. Personally, I like both of them equally.

213 - The Hard Way
First to recommend
Description
Take the laid back drawl of Snoop Dogg, mix in a Westcoast All Star like Warren G and add a smooth talking mack daddy like Nate Dogg and you have 213; the baddest rap group ever assembled since the Westside Connection. These guys bring back that old g funk feel and Nate Dogg's vocals create the catchiest choruses in the industry. Sooooo gooood!

Snoop Dogg - Tha Last Meal
First to recommend
Description
It's definitely no Doggystyle nor is it a Doggfather but it doesn't matter this album still bangs. "Lay Low" is one of my favorite, most quoted and most memorable rap songs.

Eminem - The Eminem Show
First to recommend
Description
Unfortunately this was Eminem's last great CD and it kind of marks the beginning of the end for him. This album was way more serious then his previous two as he is more of an introspective MC rather than a full blown pyschopath. Good times Eminem, good times.

Xzibit - Man Vs Machine
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
A really solid album, Xzibit's MVM album was a more mainstream approach to his traditional brash underground street style. A really cool song on the album is Choke Me, Spank Me (Pull My Hair) because Xzibit alters his singing voice to sound a lot like DJ Quik.

Tha Eastsidaz - Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz
First to recommend
Description
The singles that came off this track are so hot that they might burn your ears by simply listening to them. Make sure you listen to Snoop and by only blazing chronic and raising up Chevys.

Free Speech - "Calisthenix" CD
3 people recommended this item
Description
This underground rapper named Free Speech got together with another LA based underground rapper named Nameles (how ironic) and put together this pretty sick mixtape. I'm the biggest fan of the underground scene (although I follow a few u.g. artists) but I dig the lyricism on this one. All around a very slammin' mixtape.
