    Rtd is the most well rounded hip hop album of all time


    Club songs
    Big poppa
    One more chance

    Inspiration but catchy single
    Juicy

    Storytelling songs
    Gimme the loot
    Warning

    Classic guest spot
    The what

    Lyrical display
    The what
    Who shot ya
    Unbelievable

    Album closer
    Suicidal thoughts

    some of the production on RTD sounded outdated unlike G Funk which was a new sound, fresh,

    RTD has songs which u have to skip

    Dead at being better then RTD

    I have to co-sign this, RTD is a better album than Regulate… by quite some way, lyrically, RTD is in heaven and G Funk is in hell in comparison…

    Production is debatable… but the quality of the two alongside each other, is not.

    G-Funk influenced the way RTD was created production-wise, Bip Poppa is a glaring example of this.

    Yeah, we'll stay off that tip, Regulate is a great album. The actual track, Regulate, is an undeniable classic and the production never falls off, it inspired me to buy everything Warren G ever put out and he's a really great producer throughout his catalog, although he does fall off in comparison to his debut.

    Great album nonetheless.

    Mr Malik, 5 Footaz, Jah Skillz and Twins guest appearances>any verse you think thats lyrical on RTD. How is the album lyrically in hell when Warren G was giving you a down to earth honest presentation about his life instead of a fake ass persona that his CEO created for him. Biggie rhymes are in hell. suckin the father ? of his woman, shooting pregnant women in the stomach, watching men ? each other, calling his mom a ? , the antichrist rhymes. smh. whatever floats yall boat.

    Big Poppa was released in February, where as G-Funk Era was released in June.

    Even if it was influenced, that's like saying Nas' Illmatic isn't as great as its predecessors who he borrowed from and developed upon because the earlier records/artists came first.

    way better than ? RTD. sold more than RTD. RTD aint the pinnacle in 94. stop letting these biased ass east coast ? brainwash you with that ? . Tical was better than RTD. Dare Iz was better than RTD. Funk Da World was better than RTD. Just because a ? died dont mean yall gotta rewrite history about was banging in 94. RTD was mainstream hip hop like how drake now. real ? wasnt checking for that ? . G Funk Era had the whole year on lock. not to mention ? always talked about how biggie stole the concept of juicy from do you see. soon as i heard RTD i was like this ? is a warren g copycat with the same sample. same lyrics about coming up. ? RTD

    You sound like a damn buffoon. RTD was mainstream like Drake? Maybe the real ? in your little area won't checking for it, but in Hip Hops mecca, it was by far the best album of 94. Gimme the Loot. Suicidal Thoughts. Unbelievable. Everyday Struggle. Friend of Mine. Mainstream like Drake? ? RTD was nothing but a glimpse into everyday street life. I swear you ? just type to be typing.

    I was going to debate the first sentence, but then you claim he has a fake persona… Biggie would have done time had it not been for Puff, he was heading out of town when Puff stopped and offered him a deal, the people who left the town who he was headed with ended up getting caught.

    Either way, I'm not listening to a hip hop record to know that all is honest, at times, even the truth is false in reality, the truth from one person is the false of the next.

    RTD is a nigh on classic album in my book, although I barely have any in there… if not lyrically, then surely you agree in terms of his delivery and flow…

    Personable albums are some of my favourites, but RTD is something else…

    LOL At this, that's leaving out Juicy as well, which in some peoples books is the greatest hip hop track of all time...

    Oh, i meant G-Funk as a sub-genre. And i never tried to discredit the production on RTD, just an observation.

    ? ny. nobody give a damn about the mecca. the same ? ass ? you praising is the reason why the mecca hasnt been relevant in 14 years. ? what you talking about. the album was mainstream. numbers dont lie. G Funk Era 5 times platnium in 94. 49 States>noo yawk ? . regulate the biggest hip hop single in 94. 4 times platnium on ATR SDTK. warren G owned 94. warren g gave NYC the blueprint to how to freak a isley brother/mtume sample that all of their rappers lived by in 1995 and beyond. RTD was sugar sweet pop candy. sucking somebody father ? is a glimpse into street life? good thing i was sheltered in the burbs then smh

    That's cool, I can understand the original posters suggest as to not liking the production as much on RTD, but after a few listens, I would always pick those same beats… great album in the way that it was crafted and delivered.

    i think RTD could have been better if Puff had more say over it,

    Theres no mistaking that all the songs Puff had major input on are better and more enjoyable than some of the darker elements of the album, i really could not ? with Suicidal Thoughts

    LAD> RTD
