Bosko is dope as hell too imo, I don't think anyone has mentioned him yet. To me he's like a bay area Battlecat, he's got that type of funk in his beats. I especially like what he did for E-40 during the "Element Of Surprise", "Charlie Hustle" and "Loyalty & Betrayal" days. Prodeje from South Central Cartel is another one, dude gets slept on hard for his productions; "N Gatz We Truss", "All Day Everyday", "Kickin' Game" are all classic albums imo. Madness 4 Real is another dude that was dope back in the day, the stuff he did for WC (check Dub's "Curb Servin'" album) and Ruthless was sick (Eazy-E's "Luv 4 Dem Gangsta'z" is one of my favorite Madness 4 Real tracks). For me the list goes like this, there's so many I can keep going though; they're all tight it's hard to put them in order specially the top 5, it depends on my mood. Quik is definitely #1 tho'.1. DJ Quik2. Battlecat3. DJ Pooh / Fredwreck (like 'em both equally)4. Daz & Soopafly (they've done so much together that I can't put one before the other)5. Dr. Dre6. Cold 187 / Warren G (like 'em both equally)7. DJ Muggs8. Shock G9. Prodeje10. Bosko / Madness 4 Real (like 'em both equally, I would have put them higher but I just wish they would have done more)I almost forgot about Muggs and Shock G, I had to edit my top ten and put them on.
I forgot Prode'je but I thought about him later on, dude has a crazy catalogue but he owes a lot to his co-producers though (Robert Bacon & Tommy Mundy).
regulate is perfect the way it is...it's a classic album, and any1 who rates it a 7 has no credibility when it comes to west coast rap

7 out of ten would be a VERY generous rating if were ranking it amongst all hip hop if were only talking westcoast id say seven is about appropriate.
i dont want to take away from the impact it had on the culture at the time because that was a huge album but that shit did NOT age well.
id put pharcydes first album before regulate

Only the production sound and delivery.

Only the production sound and delivery.Fuck that... beatheoven and Mozart didn't have any lyrics in their music.. and they are considered the all-time greats. I can't imagine someone sitting back bumping Warren G's shit and being like, "ohhh that last rhyme wasn't complex enough, I decided I don't like this"
