    One of the most influential rap albums of all time and one of the most timeless sounding 80s rap albums as well. I actually just relistened for the first time in awhile after starting the HBO Beats Commercial Featuring Jimmy and Dre and man this s--- never gets old. "Gangsta Gangsta" bangs to this day. Its politics are more relevant than ever almost 30 years later. 10/10 classic.

    Chad loves SOC. Takes me back to late 80s LA. Avoids being dust by feeling like a period piece.
