Rolling Stone's 138th greatest album of all time
Good hip hop album. Very similar in style and theme to NWA for obvious reasons. Having Snoop's distinctive voice on a number of tracks helps break the monotony that starts to creep in at times.

Rolling Stone's 302nd greatest album of all time
Superb hip hop from Chuck D et al. Such strong socio-political statements that can't be ignored (though lets face it, they largely were for quite some time) layered on brilliant sampling and mixing.

Rolling Stone's 437th greatest album of all time
A decent hip hop album. Some cringey lyrics about lollipops and so on, but overall pretty good beats and music as well as the rapping itself. "How the Beat Builds" was a particular highlight.
