    Living Like Hustlers is as Classic as it gets...Back around 98 on a road trip from Dallas to Htown I stopped into a small local record store. It came down to buying either Mc Ren (Black panther) or ATL (Legends) cassette --- ATL won and it blew my mind (again)... If youve never listened to the entire LEGENDS CD... shame shame shame.... please do!

    Black Mafia Life is one of my all time favourite Hip Hop albums.ATL have always been under appreciated for what they did for the West coast hip hop sound.Cold 187 was one of,if not thee 1st producer to use that G Funk sound.He was using it before Dre used it on his ‘93 album ‘The Chronic’,I know that much.
    EDIT-I typed this before watching the upload obviously,because I could have saved my time as they pretty much jumped straight into that.About time though,it took long enough for Cold 187 to get that credited on a mainstream show like Sway in the morning but better late than never.

    I believe Hutch created that sound. However, Dre mastered it, and Daz added his twitch to it. Now Quik did not come with the same sound, his sound was different. I think Hutch musical ear came from his uncle.

That really changed the game it comes full circle, keeping in mind Warren G learned from Cold 187um and Dre, Warren said so himself. It also explains the ATL connection with Snoop!

    • @theonesugafrizzle9251
      @theonesugafrizzle9251 8 років тому

      +LaCheleWallace I say it because there are no filler type songs. Each track is as good as the last. The Chronic does have more memorable songs but a couple songs on there are not as memorable at the entire product. 2001 is where I think Dre showed his ass off. Very few west coast albums are on that level. Another and better example of a perfect album in my eyes.
