'The Chronic' by Dr. Dre
With a couple of high-pitched synth notes and a "Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay," 'The Chronic' forever changed the face of West Coast hip-hop. Powered by singles like 'Nuthin' But a "G" Thang,' 'Let Me Ride' and 'Dre Day,' the good Doc's 1992 album introduced the world to G-Funk via a gang of George Clinton-inspired trunk rattlers and young, hungry rappers, the Dogg Pound, Lady of Rage and Snoop Dogg.

Why isn't there any LL Cool J albums in this list? Radio, Bad or Walking With A Panther , every artist on your list is a big fan of LL & hasn't sold as many albums as LL ...please get this list right Scarface, De La Soul or Common will not be mentioned when you sit back & talk about Ground Breaking Albums, please get this list together it seems like it was a flagrant foul towards real hip hop.... what about Big Pun , Diamond D's first album, Gang Starr .., Black Moon's first album....Y'all piss me off!!!
