Is Regulate G Funk Era on ths same level as the classic Death Row albums?

[HighEyeCue]

LL Cool J ft. Leshaun - Doin It (1996) should be in that conversation

classic...I'm going to go listen to that now that you brought it up...I probably haven't heard it since the 90s

I love Doin It.   The track was originally made for Biggie ;hence the "Go Brooklyn" chant throughout.

Objectively speaking, yes.  My personal opinion the Coolio joint is better.

...LL did have a nice comeback that year, "Doin It" was a monster hit, and then "Loungin" was my joint

The Loungin (Who Do Ya Luv RMX) was the jam.  So much better than the original.

yeah of course I meant the remix.. the music video was so dope with the shots of mid-90's Queens.

...speaking of which I was just watching some old mid-90's Queensbridge footage today, it was such a golden era in life and hip-hop.   Just regular everyday life looks like a revelation now compared to what has came from the the internet era and now in 2026.

Imagine this; these guys Jam Jay and Simmons family are fuccin LEGEDNDS MAN!! Just look at the video, THEY OWN THE FUCCIN HOOD!!  And Russel Simmons took that shit worldwide and now because of retroactive "ME TOO" movements and bullshit like that, the guy can't even return to Queens or even America, he's in exile in an Ashram in Indonesia doin Yoga!!

I like listening to old tracks and albums that I slept on in real time

its like discovering new music but only a lot doper than anything released currently

I swear that's exactly what I been doing the last 2 years or so, lol. Discovered some really dope 90's releases from all over the place (LA, the Bay, NY, Memphis, Texas)

[b.laden]

hell no . i like this album but never been a big fan of warren G  except 2 or 3 songs on the 213 album

as far as the West Coast I was more a Death Row fan than a true West Coast music fan...not to say I didn't like other west coast music...for instance Eazy E was always in my rotation...I'm talking I bought all his solo albums not even NWA stuff which I also owned...Mc Ren I also had his solo stuff...maybe I should have said I was a Death Row/Ruthless records fan lol...but the point im trying to make is I was never into the Bay for instance...so when COVID hit and they locked us in our cages I had nothing but time and that's when I started to listen to dudes like E-40, Too Short, Luniz. Mac Dre...I had only heard individual singles before but I actually really started listening to the albums and I gained a new appreciation for the Bay and started to understand why that music scene is regarded so highly

I feel u. It took me a while to open up to other regions and sounds too, happended gradually... I enjoyed the Hyphy movement or at least some of it back then, but was never really big on the Bay as a whole either, except for Yukmouth (because of his love for Pac and him being on Rap-A-Lot at that time), lol. But there's so many underrated 90's Bay artists and albums that have a similar sound aesthetic to LA's G-Funk imo
