well, I definitely contemplated putting it on there...if this were the most influential albums of all time, I'd have no choice...but to me, it's only got 5 songs I really like on it (Straight Outta Compton, Gangsta Gangsta, F The Police, I Aint The One & 8 Ball Remix)...Dopeman is also pretty good, but I just cant stand Express Yourself
Another album that could've made my list is GZA - Liquid Swords
