X was droppin nasty lines and had the production from top westcoast producers doing there best
Dre was actaully droppin his usual classic joint, plus Quiksta, Mel-man, battlekat, and EVEN EM DROPPED A DECENT BEAT
overall the album was dope from top to bottom with guest spots from westcoast favs all on their game
Restless>>>>>>>any album from the west since
-
I liked Deuces and Trays more, but Restless was heat.
-
I agree with you, Restless has been the best. I'm waiting for the Game fans to start pushing the Doc lol
-
I totally agree wit Quik is the Name,no westcoast album that dropped after Restless has came close to it.Restless>The Documentary.
-
hmmm...could be true
-
restless=the documentary IMO
the hot songs on each album are about equal
the bad songs on each album are about equal
the lyrics on each album are about equal...x with a slight edge
the beats on each album are about equal
if i had to absolutely pick i'd pick Restless cuz x is my favorite rapper but the 2 albums are equal IMO
-
its definetly in the top 5.
dont forget about yukmouth and c-bo's thug lordz
-
Yep it's the latest album where u have some of the greatest producers together (Dre , Quik, Battlecat) so it can be nothin but a great cd (with a dope mc) . Plus the Doc (even if it's a dope album) isn't a leftcoast album ( outside 3-4 tracks)
-
I don't know why Restless got so much hate in the first place, shit is fire. Better than The Documentary, with DEFINATELY about 40 times as much replay value. It's been months since I last bumped The Documentary while I listened to Restless only yesterday night. I rest my case.
-

What the fuck ? ? ?
"Restless" is one of my favorite albums of all times, a classic West Coast banger album...
And by the way Quik Is The Name is right...
-
restless was alright but the document made a way bigger impact and mc eiht's veterans day was better than restless hand's down so i don't know what your talkin about homie !!!!!!!!!
-
Restless is way better than The Documentary.
-
DOC>>>>>rest. No Question. Plus restless was a fluke.

How was it a fluke he put out 2 dope albums before "Restless". Game has none.
-
game has tony yayo on his album.nothing else to add here
-
it's a dope album
-
spice 1/mceiht pioneers was better imo but restless was heat
-

Xzibit had Suga Free on his... Suga Free did quite a nice job tho.
-
Tha Last Meal was better and came out a week after Restless.
-
Restless was fire, but it did have it's share of weak tracks. A few of the beats didn't come correct, but other than that, X dropped a banger with Restless.
-
Yeah, Dre been behind the 4 latest best albums from the West.
2001, Restless, Last Meal, Documentary.
Hasn't been anything better since Restless though.. 8)
-
I would disagree Daz-dpg lp
-
Tha Last Meal was better and came out a week after Restless.
Tha Last Meal came out in September , Restless in December
-
i love spice and eiht but there is no way pioneers is better than restless
-
i concur
-
Tha Last Meal was better and came out a week after Restless.
Tha Last Meal came out in September , Restless in December

towerrecords.com and cduniverse.com say the same... but you are of course a more reliable source, sherlock
-
Usually I have a good memory and I remember buying Tha Last meal before (bought albums the day they come out) but u win I lost on this one ;D
-
Mauzip is right about the release dates
-
Completely disagree. Just off the top of my head.

Much better than Restless, both Lyrically and Production wise.
P.S. None have SHIT to do with Dre. Holla.

restless=the documentary IMO

Restless is absoulotly sick shits on Documentary.
-
lol at The Grand Opening & WOMD.Ok,fine,you can think WOMD is better but The Grand Opening???I used to think that album was tight but it sounds like garbage put together.There are only like a few good tracks & the rest :P Even Planet Asia said this CD is shit,but I guess everyone's got their taste.My favorite tracks:
-16 Bars Of Death (he couldlve chosen a better rock/metal beat but its still good)
-Right Or Wrong
-Real Niggaz
-It's All Big
-Hypnotize
-As Long As I'm Alive.
-

I dunno Suga Free is pretty tight. But at least Xzibits album sounded west. Half Games tracks sound like 50 shoulda been doin them. Game also screwed up both nate dogg tracks with crappy hooks.
-
The Last Meal didn't come out in September. I remember it was real close to Christmas.
-
Hasn't been anything better since Restless though..
Yeah, but "Tha Last Meal" comes close to it, but i think still that "Restless" is better...

^^let's see :P

Murs album is great, no question. Definitely one of my favourites in my collection, and there's no filler material. Difficult to compare to ''Restless', though. Granted, they're both West Coast releases, but lyrically and production-wise they are completely different.
Planet Asia's was fairly poor: he's a great MC (one of my favourites, in fact) but ''The Grand Opening'' had far too many tracks that I considered to be throwaways. Plus, a lot of the production sounded horrible - ''Its All Big'', for example. The only cuts I found to be really nice on that record were ''Pure Coke'' and ''Right Or Wrong''. A disappointment to me - but only because I know he's capable of more. Again, different to ''Restles'' but if I had to pick one over the other X would be chosen. Hopefully Asia will fulfill his potential with ''The Medicine''
Can't comment on that third album you've posted since I have not heard it.
''Weapons Of Mass Destruction'' was a good album IMO - although there were several tracks I just couldn't get in to. I admire Xzibit for restricting his guest slots after the over-populated ''Man VS Machine'', but its too bad that the tracks Strong Arm Steady guested on were not up to the standards of some of the mixtape material they've released - ''Beware Of Us'' was pretty cool, but ''Crazy Hoe'' wasn't so good IMO, save for Butch's hook. However, there were plenty of great tracks too: ''LAX'', ''Cold World'', ''Judgement Day'', ''Criminal Set'', and ''Klack'' spring to mind. I'd still say that I prefer ''Restless'', although that's really because it was the album that got me listening to Xzibit's music and therefore has a significance with me that ''WOMD'' doesn't. Quality wise, they're close, and I can't call which album has the edge.
If it were me, choosing between the Murs album and ''Restless'' would probably be the toughest choice.

"U know" "Get your walk on" alone>>>>>>>>>>most of the shit released after

We went through Weapons Of Mass Destruction before, that shit is 10 times hotter than Restless.
Murs' album is much more solid lyrically and production wise.

Now you just mean out of shitty commerical fake gangsta artists right? because california does have in fact have some decent rappers it seems nobody wants to hear them though.

Warren G - Return of the Regulator

Daz - Dogg Pound Gangsta LP
WC - Ghetto Heisman
Kurupt - Space Boogie
Im sure theres more
-
LMAO @ WOMD being better than restless. right....
thats probably why everyonce in awhile I'll still give restless a spin, but I haven't listened to WOMD since the first week it came out. Not to say its bad, because its a decent album, just not on par with restless.
