Damn there are are alot of greatly produced albums, Here are my top 5

1. Doggystyle- Dre's greatest work
2. The Chronic
3. 36 Chambers- RZA at his best
4. Illmatic- this is slept on, It has GREAT production
5. 2001- fururistic shit

- mobb deep "the infamous"
-hot boys "get it how u live"
-three 6 mafia "chpt.2 world domination"
-warren g "regulate..."
-every gangstarr album
-jay-z "reasonable doubt"

Well, I could easily say "The Chronic" or "Doggystyle". But I could make a case on Dre & Mel-Man's work on "Dr. Dre 2001". They did an incredible job with the beats, and all that shit. I mean, Dre composed some of the most clean, smooth and hottest shit. That sound will never fade out. On that album, Dre used live instruments, and he barley sampled anything. It's a fuckin masterpiece, shit, I even bought the instrumentals album just to bump the beats. For me, it's either "The Chronic" or "Dr. Dre 2001". Try to go against me.

"Niggaz 4 Life"
"The Chronic"
"2001"
"36 Chambers"

I'd Say All Of Those, Are Production Masterpieces, If You Consider The Whole Album. Doggystyle Wasn't Quite As Mastered, Production Wise. The Production On All The Songs Was Dope, But The Album Doesn't Fit Together As Good As Those Other 4.

I gotta say Regulate or Chronic, both flow well with a good mixture of tracks.

In terms of producion, there's two levels, regular, which everyone else is judged, and Dr. Dre.

Regular albums include:
Ready to Die - Puff Daddy
Anything D.J. Premire touches
All Eyez On Me with it's team of producers lead by Daz and Johnny J with Dre overlooking it
It's On 187um Killa Yella and Cold187um
Regulate: The G Funk Era - Warren G

then there's Dre: (in order)
Chronis 2001 - His experiment with hardly a single sample. Amazing instramental, so good I bought the actual disc, and the instramental. Changed the way producers work for a third time

The Chronic - Gangsta rap beats, but also the introduction of G-Funk. Hard hitting bass that makes you just want to smakoe a whole damn 20 sack to

Elif4zaggin - When Ice Cube left N.W.A. most thought N.W.A. was done for, well Dre and Yella stepped up the producion, and then hot damn, a producion master piece.

No One Can Do It Better - To be honest, the D.O.C. did not need a great producer like Dre to hook this up. That's what makes this so great production wise, because D.O.C. over a Dre beat is just one of those things that makes you wish that the Doc and the Doctor were still making hits today. I think that the D.O.C. could have been one of the greatest ever, up there with Rakim and Ice Cube in terms of lyrics. Listen to Dre on The Chronic, D.O.C. wrote that shit.

DoggyStyle - Actually, most don't know this, but it originally sounded a lot different. You see, even in 1993, bootlegs spread all over California, as my cousin let me listen to his copy a month before the actually album came out. The original one sounded more funky than the one that did come out. The one that did come out had help from Warren G and Daz, who both perfected their producion skillz on this one. Listen to DoggyDogg World, Daz all the way, and Ain't No Fun has a big Warren G sound. Anyways, Dre did produce the original, but of course changed it. I just wish my cousin didn't give that tape away. Damn.

When I pop in my 2001 disc it's just like "dam, this shit is incredible". Dre's cohesion with real instruments just makes you wanna bring it to your parents to show them how superior the production is. It's at a higher level then any of Dre's work before. Like I've said before, it would be str8 crazy if Dre put on a concert with no DJ, just live instruments...w o w.
