Hold up Julie, my point was that it was funny 5 months ago. So there was no need to criticize him for running that joke. Now you u need to handle ya bidness bruh.
+Dynamic Samurai niggaz4life was better then straight outta Compton they just didn't get the letter from the FBI for that album but lyrically and production wise it was better
+MrWARBUCKS24 yes thats what I mean. Ren was the star MC and he wrote some hard shit for Dre. Dre never sounded better then that I feel as a rapper. And Eazy had stepped it up. it was NWA 2.0
+djwarzone1 Also you can't forget The D.O.C his album was dope and if it wasn't for his accident he would have boomed and also Michel'e she had a very good start and her first album still last against time with today's R&B artist who has a fair jumpstart.And that J.J. Fad single was killing the radio when it came out.I think if Dre would have stayed with N.W.A along with the homie Cube it would have been way bigger than what Death Row was.
Dre and Eminem pushed 50... Half of GRODT is produced and mixed by Dre. In Da Club, Heat, If I Can't, Back Down, 21 Questions, P.I.M.P, Wut Up Gangsta and Wanksta were all recorded with Dr. Dre 50 and Dre pushed Game... They were all on the same team. G-Unit Shady Aftermath. The three labels formed a crew together cause Eminem and 50 were signed to Dre. So they were all in the same camp. D12, G-Unit, Stat Quo, Obie Trice.
I agree 100% with Charlamagne about Death Row being better than the N.W.A. movement, BUT Vlad has a very good point about the age of when you catch it.
He got a point though, I say with iconic, it goes Dre, Diddy, then Jay Z. It was like Dre kept getting pregnant and gave birth to triplets every time. I think the difference w/ Dre and Diddy, they had big iconic years in their younger days, while Jay is a little behind but ALL are still powerful guys.
+tswagg504 above the law created g funk back in 92 and they was on ruthless not dre or snoop plus they was around NWA so death row copy offa ruthless where gangsta shit had started
Well we see were above the law is an were dre snoop dpg warren nate are heights above them guys!! Above the law so washed up kokane joined forces wit snoop all those years!! Facts
It was, musically.... but at the end of the day, if N.W.A. never existed then Death Row would have never existed. Death Row was basically Ruthless Records REFINED.
Just like NIGGAZ4LIFE is undoubtedly better than Straight Outta Compton musically, and God Son is undoubtedly better than Illmatic musically. But because the later one couldn't have existed without the first one, the first one always gets more praise.
@Eastcoast Dre Your problem is you're so caught up in nostalgia that you don't care about music quality, just whichever one is older and had more of an impact. Niggaz4Life had OBJECTIVELY better beats, you simply can't argue that. The writing I believe was just as good, Ren just writes differently than Cube and it's not like Cube even wrote all the songs on Eazy Duz It or Straight Outta Compton. And DOC was still there at the time, another prominent writer. It's the same case with Illmatic, objectively better production and the same 10/10 lyricism just done in a different style. I agree Straight Outta Compton and Illmatic are revolutionary 10/10 albums, but that doesn't mean that each respective artist hasn't done better work.
Charlemagne is right. Death Row is EASILY on another level from Ruthless. Age has nothing to do with it. I hate when people use the "I'm older so I know blah blah"
I'm sorry but Ice Cube Dr. Dre Eazy E trumps Death Row and that's what's funny without E Dre would still be in World Class Wrecking Crew so Ruthless Trump's death row
Stfu Charlamange don't know what he is talk bout,ma nigga ain't no shit thats why he got louder durin the interview,just to made clear that his opinion is right,but he gave less facts. Plus yeah it does hav a impact on ya opinion,plus If ya came after that time ya don't catch up with the shit goes on back then,just the perfect example, Hit 'em up it's a top five disstrack, becauze at that time it was something different,but now people shouldn't even consider it top 10. Thats straight up facts!
Are only monolingual English-speakers here? Cause it must suck if you're stuck with American rap only. There's so much better rap to discover in french for example. Tupac is a brilliant rapper, but far from #1. His flow is pretty primitive compared to Biggie f.ex. and his message is very political but often gets lost in a lot of thuggish nonsense.
I love this discussion, here's my two cents. If we're talking about cultural influence, NWA is 'better' because of the fact you have NWA hats, shirts and an entire movement based on that group. There are people who don't necessarily like the rap genre but love NWA and the rebellious movement they created ala Fuck The Police and Gangsta Gansgsta. However, if we're talking about impact on the music business, Death Row takes the prize. Death Row took the 'gangster rap' genre to a whole new level and so many black label owners (Diddy, Birdman, Jay-Z/Dame, 50 Cent) owe a lot of their success to what that label did. Death Row drew confidence from the major labels to back them without any interference on what they marketed. The rewards were, and still are, unheard of: All 6 of their first albums were critically acclaimed and sold at least 2x platinum. Death Row saved Interscope Records from going under......hell, it MADE Interscope. Death Row at one point were untouchable. I hate Suge Knight but what he did was borderline genius.
Death Row was making money since The Chronic,and Doggystyle,do your homework homie.Suge helped Pac,and knew that having Pac on Death Row would make them more money.Death Row was always Business,never personal
Don Juan You sound dumb Tupac took deathrow to the next level m!!! Everyone said out their own mouths that his work Ethic was dope!! Tupac didn’t need shit they needed him 💯
If it wasn’t for Bill Russell we wouldn’t have had Shaq, while that’s true you can’t tell me you wouldn’t take Shaq over Bill Russell. NWA set the groundwork, but Death Row came out and evolved the entire path for West Coast rappers. Death Row gave Dr. Dre ANY rapper he wanted to work with thus leading to him discovering Snoop. Snoop is iconic now. They got Tupac outta prison and paired him with Dr. Dre and Snoop as well as the cast of rappers at Death Row. Suge showed that a black man can be a music industry CEO(and a terrifying one at that). On top of that, Death Row’s insane scorched earth approach to Hip-Hop forced all competitors to step it up and try to keep up. In its prime, no record label even came close to Death Row Records.Just because it came first doesn’t mean it’s necessarily better all the time.
Vlad is entitled to his opinion just like all of us are but Straight Outta Compton is not better than The Chronic... SOC was important and put NWA on the map but it's not a better album
+marley1221 The Chronic is a better produced album, even Dre has said on record he hates the way SOC sounds. Yet the SOC is ground breaking and has the most socially relevant song between the two: Fuck The Police.
Dre was still growing production wise..chronic 01 was better to me than soc nd chronic because he had mastered his sound...from that point to today, you never have to ask/read did Dre make this beat because his sound is distinct
TollFree999 agreed, SOC made an impact. That's why I said it was important, I love that album. The Chronic is still better though. They made that album during the riots, so I'd say it's definitely socially relevant.
+TollFree999 True but the Chronic wasn't a "social" album in the way SOC was. If anything SOC should be more compared to Amerikkka's Most Wanted and Death Certificate when it comes to social issues, not to mention Fear of a Black Planet.
@Adidas Man44 What?! Dre makes his own beats, produces his own music, established his own music company -Aftermath- where he signs artists, and owns Beats by Dre. You're an idiot.
Aftermath gave us, Get Rich or Die Trying, which led to G-UNIT. Eminem which he has 2 classic albums the rest are debatable but still moved units, the Chronic 2001, and now Kendrick. Death Row did good things but honestly what did they really achieve minus dre? You can even give Dre props for games first album, so I think the overall legacy of Death Row is over romanticized. They definitely had early success but they had nothing once dre left.
Keyser Soeze if you go artist for artist, then DR still comes up short. Compare a guy like Kurupt, he's underrated because he didn't realize his full potential. I'm sure DR had plenty of guys like that. Aftermath took underdogs and made them stars. Eminem first album was trash, 50 was brushed over in NY, Kendrick is just a monster, Games impact was immediate, and all those artists branched off and still work today, with Eminem and Kendrick still on top of their game. Had Tupac not died, had Snoop not left for No Limit, it wouldn't even be a debate, but you can't deny the mishandling of their artists once Dre left. To me that shows the laziness of Death Row they couldn't make stars especially on the level Dre has.
The Death Row era was better than NWA because NWA was a like a rock star rap group with two key players; whereas, Death Row was a multi-layered movement that had many more key players - rappers, producers, execs, affiliates, sounds, etc. - that influenced the generations of west coast hip-hop acts all the way to the present.
Vlad got butthurt as fuck when Charlamagne said The Chronic was better than Straight Outta Compton. Old man syndrome i guess but i digress, The Chronic > Straight Outta Compton on a musical level.
Vlad is Right af about that You gotta be a Certain age when Albums come out for them to be yo Best Albums, for ex: my Fav 2 Albums of all time is 50 Cent "Get Rich or die Trying" and Young JeeZY First Album TM101... Cuz I was 17 inda 12th grade when 50Cent G.R.O.D.T came out and I was 20 when JeeZY TM101 came out!! Those was some of the Prime Ages of my life. And everytime I hear them Albums it take you back and bring U some good ass memories of those days💯. But if you was like 9 or 10 years old when them Albums came out You not gone feel them Albums like a 17 or 18 year old would💯
I semi agree with you, but i definitely understand where ur coming from. I was born in 1981 but one of my fav top 10 albums was from Johnny Rivers in about 1965. Love it from beginning to end
On me I grew up off the oldies but I ain't gonna lie when Uzi dropped lil Uzi vs the world I thought it was a modern classic i was 16/17 A Junor in high school feeling like I'm in my prime just like when I listen to ima player by too short it brings back so many memories I get back from that even tho I wasn't around when it first came out
mustafahajj straight outta Compton was a great album , but The Chronic was after the fact , it was after nwa was over and what dre can do Solo and he shit on ruthless that's what makes it better , it brought G FUNK into the scene snoop dogg tha dogg pound and Tupac and even other artists just AFFILIATED with death row like for instance DJ quik , the album alone made a whole history where as straight outta Compton brought them into the scene with some lyrical shit then they disbanded like three years later
Henry Swanson No way homie. Fuck the Police, Gangsta Gangsta, I Ain't Tha 1, Straight Outta Compton, Dopeman, ain't that many legendary tracks on the Chronic. And I'm sorry - not on SOC, but Real Muthafuckin Gs destroyed Dre Day. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.
The movie could have been better. They showed everyone's weaknesses except for dre and cube. That was a dre and cube movie they had themselves looking squeaky clean
Omg I thought the exact same thing, half way through I was thinking it's a pg movie because the reality is way more entertaining than the movie portrayed.
Charlamagne is totally right in what he's saying in this interview... including what he said about Shaq. lol No shade or hate to anyone else cause they where all dope.
Icon is overused though. Nobody is doubting the great work Nas did, but if you’re talking about Icon’s that change popular culture across a country, or world, he isn’t. He’s just great in his field.
Charlemagne is right! The Deathrow era was epic! NWA has become more iconic as a group as time has gone by Suge & Deathrow really took Gfunk and Rap to new levels!Snoop,Dre,Pac,Kurupt,Daz,Michel'le,Rage, they had hitters at deathrow,to me even comparing Ruthless is far fetched,other than Bone Thugs who remotely has a catalogue from Ruthless that one would have at Deathrow.
NWA was great and set the tone for a lot of artists that came after them including the Death Row movement but music and talent wise it's a no contest Pac & Snoop alone were way better lyricists than the entire NWA put together plus Pac & Snoop wrote their own rhymes Eazy & Dre had ghostwriters and one of their ghostwriters was Cube also Dre's production level had ascended tremendously by the time he got to Death Row
I feel like NWA was more iconic in the sense that they were pioneers when they started up like they did. death row carried on and became something greater. say what you want but without nwa, death row couldn't have happened
@G 12 he might I don't. Death row has a much better reputation than bad boy etc all them labels. Death had everyone shook. Including Hollywood. Death row is famous world over more than any other BLACK label.
Charlamagne is right. Death Row was a better movement than N.W.A. (and Aftermath). They had so many classics and icons. It was an unstoppable machine. He went a bit over-the-top with his praise fro Dr. Dre though.
The part when Dre called himself "standing up" to Suge near the end seemed sketchy. I said to myself, now you know good and well you had yo' lawyer contact his lawyer. People were trippin' because Dre didn't put him abusing those women in the movie, but ya'll know good and well that wasn't gon happen. *Go 'head, Vladimir! You better let our young asses know what's up!* I get what you're saying, Lenard, but we were a little too young to fully be aware of NWA, but our era as 90's kids would be Death Row Records aka Beat Down Records. Ya'll are throwin' around these iconic albums and now I'm kinda thrown off. As an adult, it's hard for me to choose because some of those songs off _Skraight Outta Compton_ mean more to me than most of the material on Death Row overall. This is a hard one. Good interview and debate, fellas. Good points, Vladimir.
How you even gonna compare Ruthless Record to Death Row Records!!?? ...Death Row was a dynasty that no record label can top till this day...i agree with u Charlamagne, u know ur shit... #WeNeedA #DeathRowMovie
This is how you can tell Charlamagne doesn't know all of the history of Dr. Dre and NWA, because Dr. Dre was already making a name for himself with World Class Wreckin Cru, producing for other artist which if i recall he did for C.I.A (Ice Cube Group among others) and even did the DJ Mixtapes at the Rodium in California as a DJ and then he ended up being with N.W.A with Eazy-E came out with Straight Outta Compton and Eazy Duz It among the other projects that came with Ruthless Records. Now did Death Row propeller Dre to another level? possibly, but would Dre had been where he was at if Ruthless wasn't around and it was just Yella and another person as the DJ and Producer? Without Ruthless Records, Dre might of still been making party music with World Class Wreckin Cru.
Charlamange showed a level of ignorance to hip-hop in this interview. I agree that overall the quality of music that came out Death Row was better than NWA. But to say NWA in their prime wasn't as big as Death Row was in their prime is stupid. They made a movie about NWA! That in itself should tell u how big they really were. Dre was already a top producer b4 he got with Death Row. Charlamange was too young to understand the impact of NWA (shit I'm about his age and I know better than that, u gotta do ur research b4 u speak on facts). We both came up in the Death Row era, so his opinion is skewed. But, again u must do ur research b4 u make statements like that.
I didn't say NWA was better than Death Row. What I said was that NWA was as big in their prime as Death Row was in their prime. There was no other group like them at the time. They had no competition. They went platinum with no radio air play! When Death Row came together, hip-hop as a whole was bigger. And the initial attention that Death Row got was because of the popularity of Dr. Dre coming from NWA. I think Death Row as an independent record label made the best music overall out of any rap label. But, for Charlamagne to say that NWA from 1988 to 1991 wasn't as big as Death Row from 1992 to 1996 is crazy.
Does Vlad think he's all knowing and that his opinion is the only right option? Maybe the 2 movements affected you differently than others, because of your age at the time or what you were going through at that time when they were going on, but that's just your opinion. He's talking like it's a fact that NWA was bigger than Death Row (which I don't agree with, but again, that's my opinion, and I'm not forcing it on anyone)
Death Row was a fuckin POWERHOUSE Label. Damn near every album that came out from that label is a hip hop CLASSIC. Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Pac all together at once. Let's not forget when The DOC use to write for Death Row, and they had DPG, Nate Dogg, Lady of Rage etc.
Beats Headphones are overpriced garbage and worn by people who just want to fit in and look cool. Audio-Technica provides better sound for half the price. Go to any legitimate place that sells music studio equipment and they'll tell you Audio-Technicas are superior to Beats. It's a shame because I thought Dre would want to ensure the highest quality before he puts his name on something sound-related.
You're past accurate.... I've never brought (nor was interested in buying) beats by Dre products.. I've used other ppls on & off every now & again when they're trying to defend their $200+ investment but never purchased for myself... Why ? Not bc of 'Hating' or 'talking down bc I can't afford it', but we're talking $200+ headphones for a name/sign on a pair of Ehhh headphones, compared to Audio-Technica's $145/$150/$200, & they're SUPERB if you're All around comparing them to beats IJS
+jonesboi804 Exactly. I remember a comedian said wearing Beats Headphones is like wearing a "high-tech kick me" sign. It's worn by snobs who are trying to show off while not really knowing anything about sound. I remember we asked a professional music producer about Beats and he rolled his eyes and recommended Audio-Technicas instead. Any sound engineer or producer knows that Beats is trash. To people who say we can't "afford" them. That's not true because I once bought Beats headphones thinking they'd be top of the line. Compared them to my Audio-Technicas that cost much less. The Audio-Technicas had higher clarity and a richer sound from the lows, mids, and highs. The Beats were muffled garbage in comparison. Returned the Beats and got a refund. The $30 Apple earpods have a better sound than the $150 in-ear Beats earphones. You're right man, it shows that people are sheep and will buy anything to fit in. Beats headphones looks "sexier" and are trendy but I care about the sound coming out of them, not what they look like. Beats just did great marketing by giving them to celebrities and radio stations so that we see them everywhere, and they became trendy.
+StevelyBruckShut No. And I'm not a "sound expert" either. I just can tell Beats is overpriced, doesn't have good sound compared to other studio headphones, and it has the sheep duped. The real snobs are the people in Beats headphones who can't be seen in Sony or Panasonic or even Audio-Technica because they want to be trendy.
DiverseLA "it's worn by snobs who are trying to show off while not really knowing anything about sound". Beats are advertised on tv.. I've literally never seen an ad for Audio-Technica sound products, let alone Sony or Panasonic. People buy what they see, it's as simple as that
I feel the reason Death Row blew up better than Ruthless was because Ruthless fell apart BEFORE it could really blow up. Dre left Ruthless to help form Death Row, and several of Ruthless’s artists wound up on Death Row once Ruthless started falling apart (Above The Law, CPO, etc.)...just my opinion
+Picadie Dre is dope and a genius. But like what you said He is a woman beater. Dre is talented at what he does, but he seems to like to dress himself up as a real G and a hardcore Gangsta. When he isn't.
Charlamagne has a point about Dr. Dre bc he did give us Snoop Tupac Krupt and so on but people can argue saying that the straight outta Compton album was superior too any other album but look at the facts Dre gave us more hip hop artists that were talked about and still are whether there alive or not and then Dre gave us a new generation of artists like my favorite Eminem and 50 cent and the list keeps going
But you could argue without lonzo Williams there wouldn't be a world class wreckin crew,Ren and Eazy wouldn't have met Jerry heller through lonzo,yella would still be working at Taco Bell and Dre would still be djing in warren Gs bedroom the future could of changed drastically,with the lives they lived any of them could of been dead before 1989 especially Ren and Eazy with the gangs and dope dealing
Kewan Umbles-Jenkins true you're right there but after he went to Deathrow he became the biggest rap artist of all time till his untimely death but we don't know how the world would b if Eazy and Dre didn't partner up or if everyone didn't meet up and formed N.W.A anybody can say "oh these guys would b here and here"
He was 8 years old when that Album came out! I was 13 and that Album blew my mind! It's iconic! NWA is iconic! One group with 4 Platinum rappers! Each of them with a stamp on Hip Hop History. He sound like a New York nigga but he from South Carolina! NWA changed the way people viewed hip hop!
NWA is a group but death row was a whole label that’s not a good comparison. The artists in NWA branched our and expanded hip hop from Dre making death row into what it became, Cube and the west side connection, and eazy with bone thugs. NWA has arguable had more impact on hip hop than any artist and it group.
Charlamagne Tha God I respect everybody's opinion, because music is subjective. But your opinion comes off as if it's the gospel. And if you say things just to stir the pot....that means "you" don't even believe most of what you're saying.
I was 9 when the chronic dropped & the chronic never stopped being the chronic until all eyez on me dropped. That's a long time for one album to be that impactful & relevant. Vlad dude your so outta wack.
World Class Wrecking Cru < NWA < Death Row < Aftermath < BEAT BY DRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dre is the greatest businessman for this shit alone. He got better and better as he went along until he hit the absolute peak. A Billionaire...Charlamagne was on point with this
First of all I have to give Vlad props for being a great interviewer. I've watched a lot of his interviews and he always has his stuff together. he always has facts and is very knowledgeable about every topic that is talked about. This guy Charlemagne made a good point, about the NWA movie, with the little cheesy line that Dre said at the end, and the part where Ice Cube son was typing on a computer, give him that. But he really doesn't know what he's talking about. I still feel as though the movie was amazing and will probably go down as a classic. NWA were icons, they change the face of hip-hop and rap music. I like how Vlad put Charlemagne in his place a few times and his interview, because I was there when NWA first came out and it blew everyone's mine.
This revisionism of history is shocking!!!!! All of a sudden now NWA and Ruthless was better than Death Row???? Man man man.....some things aint even worth wasting time on discussing. There are just IGNORANT people out there!!!! What Death Row did in the 90s was historic!!! Every single album at the height of that label sold no less than double platinum!!!!! I am disappointed in Vlad!!!!
No Jamal......If it goes to that, then equally there would have been no Ruthless Records without the very same Dr. Dre you are talking about......We should never ever forget that it the very idea of creation of Record label that was Ruthless was the idea of the very same Dre. As an already popular producer of the World Class Wrekin Cru, he is the one who approached Eazy E with the idea......for Eazy to put money to finance it. I mean Dre was already popular in the West Coast as a dope producer for the Cru.....so Eazy made no Dre.....let's get that straight. To show that Dre was the heart of Ruthless....his departure threw that label as the dominant force in the West Coast out of balance.......And to prove how powerful he was.....everyone could not wait for the first recordings of Death Row....and indeed, Death Row was the undisputed Hip Hop Dynasty of the 90s.....that is a fact no one can deny! So Ruthless did not make Death Row.....that is a LIE!!!! And by the way......The Chronic and the subsequent G-Funk albums of that label marked the dawn of a new sound.....one of the attributes we credit Dre for to this day!!!! So just like we cannot say there could have been no Ruthless without World Class Wreckin Cru......equally we cannot say there could have been not Death Row without Ruthless!!! Just like we cannot say there could have been no Aftermath without Death Row......Reality is that the talents of the artists involved were there long before those record labels!!! So we need to guard against those peripheral rap fans who are either new to the game or just straight ignorant.
Death Row was definitley better than NWA. Especially since Ice Cube did most of the ghost writing and Dre killed the producing game, there wasn't really anyone else that special
It wasn't snoop who said "Deez nuts" it was Warren G talking to a female in the intro. On the song that Nate sings the hook "I can't be faded I'm a nigga from the mothaphukkin streetz " dope song .
Vlad: Did you watch straight outta compton?
Charlemagne: yeah

Dre pushed Eminem's project
Eminem pushed 50's project
50 pushed Game's project
its all a chain reaction👌🏼
martinezandy15 Eazy e pushed dre ice cube all of them
Don’t forget K. Dot!!
50 didn’t push game Dre did
Dre and Eminem pushed 50... Half of GRODT is produced and mixed by Dre. In Da Club, Heat, If I Can't, Back Down, 21 Questions, P.I.M.P, Wut Up Gangsta and Wanksta were all recorded with Dr. Dre
50 and Dre pushed Game... They were all on the same team. G-Unit Shady Aftermath. The three labels formed a crew together cause Eminem and 50 were signed to Dre. So they were all in the same camp. D12, G-Unit, Stat Quo, Obie Trice.
Game let Kendrick tour with him...
I agree 100% with Charlamagne about Death Row being better than the N.W.A. movement, BUT Vlad has a very good point about the age of when you catch it.
rock962000 Big facts way better roster
Why does one have to be better than the other?
NWA was great, and Death Row had a lot of great artists.
@Adidas Man44 because nwa was so much better they seemed like a whole label.
If you compared both of the labels from a record sells prospective , deathrow deff would be miles a head
Roster definitely better but “MOVEMENT”....NWA was better.
Vlad just interview yourself you talk more than the person you interview every fucking interview

Its more interesting when they go back and forth. You get two different perspectives

He's the true kingmaker.
Don't forget 50 cent
+Mike Ray and now Kendrick
He got a point though, I say with iconic, it goes Dre, Diddy, then Jay Z. It was like Dre kept getting pregnant and gave birth to triplets every time. I think the difference w/ Dre and Diddy, they had big iconic years in their younger days, while Jay is a little behind but ALL are still powerful guys.
+ardaorhan Stop It! Ice Cube was the MVP of that group.

Riley Martin Congratulations, you just answered all of the questions.
+Riley Martin you're such a idiot
No bruh u wrong
Just like NIGGAZ4LIFE is undoubtedly better than Straight Outta Compton musically, and God Son is undoubtedly better than Illmatic musically. But because the later one couldn't have existed without the first one, the first one always gets more praise.
@Eastcoast Dre Your problem is you're so caught up in nostalgia that you don't care about music quality, just whichever one is older and had more of an impact. Niggaz4Life had OBJECTIVELY better beats, you simply can't argue that. The writing I believe was just as good, Ren just writes differently than Cube and it's not like Cube even wrote all the songs on Eazy Duz It or Straight Outta Compton. And DOC was still there at the time, another prominent writer. It's the same case with Illmatic, objectively better production and the same 10/10 lyricism just done in a different style. I agree Straight Outta Compton and Illmatic are revolutionary 10/10 albums, but that doesn't mean that each respective artist hasn't done better work.
Charlemagne is right. Death Row is EASILY on another level from Ruthless. Age has nothing to do with it. I hate when people use the "I'm older so I know blah blah"
+Kiana Webb old man syndrome Pac, Dre, & Snoop enough said
Kiana Webb that's why the Bible say humble yourself like a child......A 5 year old can teach a wise man
I'm sorry but Ice Cube Dr. Dre Eazy E trumps Death Row and that's what's funny without E Dre would still be in World Class Wrecking Crew so Ruthless Trump's death row
Kiana Webb deathrow was putting up numbers way more then ruthless.
Stfu Charlamange don't know what he is talk bout,ma nigga ain't no shit thats why he got louder durin the interview,just to made clear that his opinion is right,but he gave less facts.
Plus yeah it does hav a impact on ya opinion,plus If ya came after that time ya don't catch up with the shit goes on back then,just the perfect example, Hit 'em up it's a top five disstrack, becauze at that time it was something different,but now people shouldn't even consider it top 10.
Thats straight up facts!
Dre did go to another level with Deah Row... Straight Outta Compton better than Chronic & Doggystyle get the fuck outta here Vlad.
+mexia23 nwa niggaz4life > dr dre the chronic
Straight outta Compton was better
Straight outta Compton was better
Straight outta Compton was better
+George Morgan damn dude three times lol
Charlemagne: “It was a good movie, not a great movie.”
Charlemagne, two minutes later: “It was a great movie.”
Snoop did say deez nutz on Chronic intro
Collis Cooper EXACTLY!
And it was Warren G calling the girl, not snoop
it was warren g
That was definitely Warren G. Snoop Dogg even said it in an interview.
@@matthijsarensman1385 your right
Let him talk damn, he says one thing and Vlad jumps in
That's because there both interviewers
i like the fact that Vlad doesn't just ask questions, he gives us his own opinion and they just chat
The kid sounds like a southern black grandpa, vlad is on another level, kids all loud
They had Tupac arguably the greatest rapper of all time
Dame Hargrove They weren't calling him the greatest of all time until he died, at the time they were calling him amazing
Everybodys Uncle Dead rappers get better promotion
lol you at a fool pac definitely has the music to say hes the greatest nobody says big pun is the greatest or eazy e
Are only monolingual English-speakers here? Cause it must suck if you're stuck with American rap only. There's so much better rap to discover in french for example. Tupac is a brilliant rapper, but far from #1. His flow is pretty primitive compared to Biggie f.ex. and his message is very political but often gets lost in a lot of thuggish nonsense.
Paul S. fuck france and fuck the uk
I love this discussion, here's my two cents. If we're talking about cultural influence, NWA is 'better' because of the fact you have NWA hats, shirts and an entire movement based on that group. There are people who don't necessarily like the rap genre but love NWA and the rebellious movement they created ala Fuck The Police and Gangsta Gansgsta. However, if we're talking about impact on the music business, Death Row takes the prize. Death Row took the 'gangster rap' genre to a whole new level and so many black label owners (Diddy, Birdman, Jay-Z/Dame, 50 Cent) owe a lot of their success to what that label did. Death Row drew confidence from the major labels to back them without any interference on what they marketed. The rewards were, and still are, unheard of: All 6 of their first albums were critically acclaimed and sold at least 2x platinum. Death Row saved Interscope Records from going under......hell, it MADE Interscope. Death Row at one point were untouchable. I hate Suge Knight but what he did was borderline genius.
Suge didnt make dre. Dre made suge.
I agree
B
Dr. Dre? Or should I say "Dr. Gay"
warren g made dr dre
@@vicvega24 I bet you wouldnt say that to his face , especially if you were at easy's size physically 😅😂😂
2pac was Death Rows Most Selling Artists and he didn't like Dr Dre
Amil Craig Tupac needed deathrow.....death row was already the best long before PAC signed
he liked dre but dre left death row and he was angry at him
Death Row was making money since The Chronic,and Doggystyle,do your homework homie.Suge helped Pac,and knew that having Pac on Death Row would make them more money.Death Row was always Business,never personal
The funny thing about Ruthless try to get 'em but then he got into prison nd he got bailed by other people (not only Deathrow)
Don Juan You sound dumb Tupac took deathrow to the next level m!!! Everyone said out their own mouths that his work Ethic was dope!! Tupac didn’t need shit they needed him 💯
can't really compare the two, nwa paved the way for death row
If it wasnt for NWA it wouldnt be no Death Row shit period.....
4REAL
Precisely
If it wasn’t for Bill Russell we wouldn’t have had Shaq, while that’s true you can’t tell me you wouldn’t take Shaq over Bill Russell.
NWA set the groundwork, but Death Row came out and evolved the entire path for West Coast rappers. Death Row gave Dr. Dre ANY rapper he wanted to work with thus leading to him discovering Snoop. Snoop is iconic now. They got Tupac outta prison and paired him with Dr. Dre and Snoop as well as the cast of rappers at Death Row. Suge showed that a black man can be a music industry CEO(and a terrifying one at that). On top of that, Death Row’s insane scorched earth approach to Hip-Hop forced all competitors to step it up and try to keep up.
In its prime, no record label even came close to Death Row Records.Just because it came first doesn’t mean it’s necessarily better all the time.
12:10 Snoop does say these nuts in he intro but that famous deez nuts bit is at the start of the song Deez Nutz and it's Warren G not Snoop.
Yra i was bout to correct ya snoop did say it in tha intro Peace!!
+Dee double u Nope, Chronic album
deeez muthafuckin nuts... I don't love Eazy..I don't love Jerry...I don't love ruthless records....frankly I don't love nothing they got to do with..
+ogfunk187 😆
Charlamagne so right about Dre's iconic status.. he really did contribute to hip hop more than any other.
He made emienme and Eminem brought some trash ass rappers into hip hop
Vlad is entitled to his opinion just like all of us are but Straight Outta Compton is not better than The Chronic... SOC was important and put NWA on the map but it's not a better album
+marley1221 The Chronic is a better produced album, even Dre has said on record he hates the way SOC sounds. Yet the SOC is ground breaking and has the most socially relevant song between the two: Fuck The Police.
Dre was still growing production wise..chronic 01 was better to me than soc nd chronic because he had mastered his sound...from that point to today, you never have to ask/read did Dre make this beat because his sound is distinct
TollFree999 agreed, SOC made an impact. That's why I said it was important, I love that album. The Chronic is still better though. They made that album during the riots, so I'd say it's definitely socially relevant.
+TollFree999 True but the Chronic wasn't a "social" album in the way SOC was. If anything SOC should be more compared to Amerikkka's Most Wanted and Death Certificate when it comes to social issues, not to mention Fear of a Black Planet.
+Anthony Anderson what made straight outta Compton a social album did u listen to the album wasn't too much social commentary maybe I missed something
LMAO!! "Dre might be god!"
Yo Stax
StaxMontana is there something wrong with that ?
@Adidas Man44 What?! Dre makes his own beats, produces his own music, established his own music company -Aftermath- where he signs artists, and owns Beats by Dre. You're an idiot.
"Im DJVLAD and i uhhh knew this person, uhhh i talked to him... uhhh i used to hangout with so and so.." we get it cuh you know everybody now stfu
There wouldn't be Death Row if NWA hadn't laid the groundwork for west coast hip hop.
Aftermath being bigger than Death Row was from the raised popularity of hip hop than it actually being the better label. Death Row was better.
+Keyser Soeze yup. em is lyrically the best dr dre mc
Kurupt shits on both on their best day
Aftermath gave us, Get Rich or Die Trying, which led to G-UNIT. Eminem which he has 2 classic albums the rest are debatable but still moved units, the Chronic 2001, and now Kendrick. Death Row did good things but honestly what did they really achieve minus dre? You can even give Dre props for games first album, so I think the overall legacy of Death Row is over romanticized. They definitely had early success but they had nothing once dre left.
Keyser Soeze if you go artist for artist, then DR still comes up short. Compare a guy like Kurupt, he's underrated because he didn't realize his full potential. I'm sure DR had plenty of guys like that. Aftermath took underdogs and made them stars. Eminem first album was trash, 50 was brushed over in NY, Kendrick is just a monster, Games impact was immediate, and all those artists branched off and still work today, with Eminem and Kendrick still on top of their game. Had Tupac not died, had Snoop not left for No Limit, it wouldn't even be a debate, but you can't deny the mishandling of their artists once Dre left. To me that shows the laziness of Death Row they couldn't make stars especially on the level Dre has.
+Keyser Soeze that's my only point, I'm not going artist for artist, just overall record consistency.
DeathRow with 2pac is the greatest moment in rap history
Vlad irritating.
only older folk be hatin on vlad and they aint doin shit young gen fukin wit him for exposure
then don’t watch ?
He's a pretentious f*** is what he is
He's gotten worse
Death Row was better than N.W.A. I loved N.W.A. but I agree that Death Row took Westside to another level.
Vuitton, The Ruler it was not better
Ruthless had nwa d.o.c. jj fad ...death row had their leftovers
@@kingsaintides7227 Tupac snoop dogg pound were leftovers? Smh
The Death Row era was better than NWA because NWA was a like a rock star rap group with two key players; whereas, Death Row was a multi-layered movement that had many more key players - rappers, producers, execs, affiliates, sounds, etc. - that influenced the generations of west coast hip-hop acts all the way to the present.
Vlad got butthurt as fuck when Charlamagne said The Chronic was better than Straight Outta Compton. Old man syndrome i guess but i digress, The Chronic > Straight Outta Compton on a musical level.
+Jamal Jewell not really how
dre is gay and never got on eazys level.. facts!!!
Deathrow > Aftermath
fightomo
This one is a hard one homie between the two labels?
LOVE BOTH LABELS
u r ->
you are right
Vlad is Right af about that You gotta be a Certain age when Albums come out for them to be yo Best Albums, for ex: my Fav 2 Albums of all time is 50 Cent "Get Rich or die Trying" and Young JeeZY First Album TM101... Cuz I was 17 inda 12th grade when 50Cent G.R.O.D.T came out and I was 20 when JeeZY TM101 came out!! Those was some of the Prime Ages of my life. And everytime I hear them Albums it take you back and bring U some good ass memories of those days💯. But if you was like 9 or 10 years old when them Albums came out You not gone feel them Albums like a 17 or 18 year old would💯
LA Bully I did I was 9 when GRODT came out and 11 when TM 101 came out ik exactly what you mean
I semi agree with you, but i definitely understand where ur coming from. I was born in 1981 but one of my fav top 10 albums was from Johnny Rivers in about 1965. Love it from beginning to end
Bro i was in the 5the grade when 50s album dropped and i cant agreee w u anymore
On me I grew up off the oldies but I ain't gonna lie when Uzi dropped lil Uzi vs the world I thought it was a modern classic i was 16/17 A Junor in high school feeling like I'm in my prime just like when I listen to ima player by too short it brings back so many memories I get back from that even tho I wasn't around when it first came out
LA HardBody nah man not facts I grew up on that gunit era I loved it
I have to agree with Carlamagne on this one. 9:10 The Chronic was better than Straight Outta Compton. I was born in 77
Henry Swanson ok, so you were 11 GD yrs old bruh.
Come again, what 11yr old kid understood wtf NWA was coming from.
Stop it. Just stop it.
mustafahajj straight outta Compton was a great album , but The Chronic was after the fact , it was after nwa was over and what dre can do Solo and he shit on ruthless that's what makes it better , it brought G FUNK into the scene snoop dogg tha dogg pound and Tupac and even other artists just AFFILIATED with death row like for instance DJ quik , the album alone made a whole history where as straight outta Compton brought them into the scene with some lyrical shit then they disbanded like three years later
Henry Swanson No way homie. Fuck the Police, Gangsta Gangsta, I Ain't Tha 1, Straight Outta Compton, Dopeman, ain't that many legendary tracks on the Chronic. And I'm sorry - not on SOC, but Real Muthafuckin Gs destroyed Dre Day. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Henry Swanson you sound dumb fried dude straight outta Compton was a better album the chronic was more in depth
The movie could have been better. They showed everyone's weaknesses except for dre and cube. That was a dre and cube movie they had themselves looking squeaky clean
Mark Whippy actually there scenes in which showed cube struggling in life
Omg I thought the exact same thing, half way through I was thinking it's a pg movie because the reality is way more entertaining than the movie portrayed.
Is it me? Or charla does not want to be there and give a damn about this interview
If you here for the actual subject outlined in the title, jump to 7:08. You're welcome.
my god i cant take vlad anymore. the dude talks and acts like he knows everything
charlamagne obviously was trying to stay up this whole interview
Yes
Warren G said Deeznutts in the chronic bih
Tax snoop said it in the intro too
You right, Vlad had it wrong
Charlamagne is totally right in what he's saying in this interview... including what he said about Shaq. lol No shade or hate to anyone else cause they where all dope.
"Dre....Dre might be GOD".....Had me weak....lmao
i think Nas is an icon!
frips1000 as worst beat picker
Of course
Top 5 best emcees of all time.
Nobody is disputing whether Naz is an icon because he is! the question was who was the biggest icon in rap, you gotta listen more carefully.
Icon is overused though. Nobody is doubting the great work Nas did, but if you’re talking about Icon’s that change popular culture across a country, or world, he isn’t. He’s just great in his field.
N.W.A. had Niggaz4Life album which was just as good as any Wu Tang joint I can name.
Charlemagne is right! The Deathrow era was epic! NWA has become more iconic as a group as time has gone by Suge & Deathrow really took Gfunk and Rap to new levels!Snoop,Dre,Pac,Kurupt,Daz,Michel'le,Rage, they had hitters at deathrow,to me even comparing Ruthless is far fetched,other than Bone Thugs who remotely has a catalogue from Ruthless that one would have at Deathrow.
NWA was great and set the tone for a lot of artists that came after them including the Death Row movement but music and talent wise it's a no contest Pac & Snoop alone were way better lyricists than the entire NWA put together plus Pac & Snoop wrote their own rhymes Eazy & Dre had ghostwriters and one of their ghostwriters was Cube also Dre's production level had ascended tremendously by the time he got to Death Row
I feel like NWA was more iconic in the sense that they were pioneers when they started up like they did. death row carried on and became something greater. say what you want but without nwa, death row couldn't have happened
I agree. When NWA came out I was like 👀 oh my, they are gangstas and Ice T. we never heard rap like that. Lol
Vlad is right, NWA were iconic by the time Death Row got cracking
Dre is the greatest producer ever. Most accomplished person hip hop has ever seen on all levels
Ruthless Records introduced us to Dre but Dre introduced us Death Row Records
LMAO real stuff about the "Aftermath" scene.
video aint even been up for the full 14 min and it already got thumbs down. yall aint shit
+Mal tv Dislike Squad running out of ideas.
just look at the title and look at who's doing the interview I ain't sayin give it a thumbs down but fuck this dudes point
+Mal tv Theres a group of individuals that just goes around disliking videos .. they probably didnt even watch it
Death row took over the whole rap game. Biggie was the only East Coast Cat competing.
@G 12 he might I don't. Death row has a much better reputation than bad boy etc all them labels. Death had everyone shook. Including Hollywood. Death row is famous world over more than any other BLACK label.
Charlamagne is right. Death Row was a better movement than N.W.A. (and Aftermath). They had so many classics and icons. It was an unstoppable machine. He went a bit over-the-top with his praise fro Dr. Dre though.
Dre.....
Dre might be god.
Are you gay like Dre?
I was weak when he said that! 😭
+taquesha thomas lol me too!😂😂😂😅
haha
+KingWizard This............
Lil Wayne triple evolved like Dre did. Hotboys, His solo run , Ymcmb & thats why I say he's the best.
The part when Dre called himself "standing up" to Suge near the end seemed sketchy. I said to myself, now you know good and well you had yo' lawyer contact his lawyer. People were trippin' because Dre didn't put him abusing those women in the movie, but ya'll know good and well that wasn't gon happen. *Go 'head, Vladimir! You better let our young asses know what's up!* I get what you're saying, Lenard, but we were a little too young to fully be aware of NWA, but our era as 90's kids would be Death Row Records aka Beat Down Records. Ya'll are throwin' around these iconic albums and now I'm kinda thrown off. As an adult, it's hard for me to choose because some of those songs off _Skraight Outta Compton_ mean more to me than most of the material on Death Row overall. This is a hard one. Good interview and debate, fellas. Good points, Vladimir.
+LaCheleWallace We know damn well Dre not stepping up to Suge lol
***** OKAAAAAY! I was like, *now wait now*. And you walked all in one peace? Dre please.
***** OKAAAAAY!
well the real story is Dre left. Suge then showed up to his house and made him sign over all his rights. so yea, he did get sonned.
Fresco Stevens You better school me.
This interview is exactly why a deathrow movie needs to be made.
7:50 Vlad talking crazy Death Row whole different level
The word Vlad is looking for is "Serodiscordant" its when one person in the couple is infected and the other one isn't. #YallWelcome
Charlemagne goes hard with the skin bleaching
How you even gonna compare Ruthless Record to Death Row Records!!?? ...Death Row was a dynasty that no record label can top till this day...i agree with u Charlamagne, u know ur shit... #WeNeedA #DeathRowMovie
Pretty sure they're making a movie on Tupac so I'm sure Death Row will be making an appearance in the movie
This is how you can tell Charlamagne doesn't know all of the history of Dr. Dre and NWA, because Dr. Dre was already making a name for himself with World Class Wreckin Cru, producing for other artist which if i recall he did for C.I.A (Ice Cube Group among others) and even did the DJ Mixtapes at the Rodium in California as a DJ and then he ended up being with N.W.A with Eazy-E came out with Straight Outta Compton and Eazy Duz It among the other projects that came with Ruthless Records. Now did Death Row propeller Dre to another level? possibly, but would Dre had been where he was at if Ruthless wasn't around and it was just Yella and another person as the DJ and Producer? Without Ruthless Records, Dre might of still been making party music with World Class Wreckin Cru.
Charlemagne is spittin fire
Anthony Dark I remember when he wanted to get with busta...Nigga know ur place
@@stizslevman3468 now he's called tha god..... LOL......Give me a break!
Charlamange showed a level of ignorance to hip-hop in this interview. I agree that overall the quality of music that came out Death Row was better than NWA. But to say NWA in their prime wasn't as big as Death Row was in their prime is stupid. They made a movie about NWA! That in itself should tell u how big they really were. Dre was already a top producer b4 he got with Death Row. Charlamange was too young to understand the impact of NWA (shit I'm about his age and I know better than that, u gotta do ur research b4 u speak on facts). We both came up in the Death Row era, so his opinion is skewed. But, again u must do ur research b4 u make statements like that.
Death Row was way bigger than Ruthless, but Ruthless was the foundation for a gang of rap careers, which made a better story.
+VAUNCOVERED Couptakeover Death Row was better
I didn't say NWA was better than Death Row. What I said was that NWA was as big in their prime as Death Row was in their prime. There was no other group like them at the time. They had no competition. They went platinum with no radio air play! When Death Row came together, hip-hop as a whole was bigger. And the initial attention that Death Row got was because of the popularity of Dr. Dre coming from NWA. I think Death Row as an independent record label made the best music overall out of any rap label. But, for Charlamagne to say that NWA from 1988 to 1991 wasn't as big as Death Row from 1992 to 1996 is crazy.
+VAUNCOVERED Couptakeover omg thank u finaly someone gets it
+VAUNCOVERED Couptakeover tupac is the biggest rapper of all time so clearly Death Row was bigger than NWA.
Does Vlad think he's all knowing and that his opinion is the only right option? Maybe the 2 movements affected you differently than others, because of your age at the time or what you were going through at that time when they were going on, but that's just your opinion. He's talking like it's a fact that NWA was bigger than Death Row (which I don't agree with, but again, that's my opinion, and I'm not forcing it on anyone)
most annoying white boys think that nwa is bigger than Death Row records Vlad needs to get the fuck outa hiphop
"Dre might be God."
-CTG
Vlad be talking over his guests to make his opinions better.
Death Row was a fuckin POWERHOUSE Label. Damn near every album that came out from that label is a hip hop CLASSIC. Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Pac all together at once. Let's not forget when The DOC use to write for Death Row, and they had DPG, Nate Dogg, Lady of Rage etc.
honestly charlamagne is spitting straight facts in this interview
Beats Headphones are overpriced garbage and worn by people who just want to fit in and look cool. Audio-Technica provides better sound for half the price. Go to any legitimate place that sells music studio equipment and they'll tell you Audio-Technicas are superior to Beats. It's a shame because I thought Dre would want to ensure the highest quality before he puts his name on something sound-related.
You're past accurate.... I've never brought (nor was interested in buying) beats by Dre products.. I've used other ppls on & off every now & again when they're trying to defend their $200+ investment but never purchased for myself... Why ? Not bc of 'Hating' or 'talking down bc I can't afford it', but we're talking $200+ headphones for a name/sign on a pair of Ehhh headphones, compared to Audio-Technica's $145/$150/$200, & they're SUPERB if you're All around comparing them to beats IJS
+jonesboi804 Exactly. I remember a comedian said wearing Beats Headphones is like wearing a "high-tech kick me" sign. It's worn by snobs who are trying to show off while not really knowing anything about sound. I remember we asked a professional music producer about Beats and he rolled his eyes and recommended Audio-Technicas instead. Any sound engineer or producer knows that Beats is trash.
To people who say we can't "afford" them. That's not true because I once bought Beats headphones thinking they'd be top of the line. Compared them to my Audio-Technicas that cost much less. The Audio-Technicas had higher clarity and a richer sound from the lows, mids, and highs. The Beats were muffled garbage in comparison. Returned the Beats and got a refund.
The $30 Apple earpods have a better sound than the $150 in-ear Beats earphones.
You're right man, it shows that people are sheep and will buy anything to fit in. Beats headphones looks "sexier" and are trendy but I care about the sound coming out of them, not what they look like. Beats just did great marketing by giving them to celebrities and radio stations so that we see them everywhere, and they became trendy.
+DiverseLA so every person who buys headphones should be an expert on sound and sound systems?? You sound like the snob
+StevelyBruckShut No. And I'm not a "sound expert" either. I just can tell Beats is overpriced, doesn't have good sound compared to other studio headphones, and it has the sheep duped. The real snobs are the people in Beats headphones who can't be seen in Sony or Panasonic or even Audio-Technica because they want to be trendy.
DiverseLA "it's worn by snobs who are trying to show off while not really knowing anything about sound". Beats are advertised on tv.. I've literally never seen an ad for Audio-Technica sound products, let alone Sony or Panasonic. People buy what they see, it's as simple as that
LMAO when he mentioned that Dre moment with dramatic turn!! Had me dying when I was watching that, he right tho
VLAD TRIPPING DEATHROW DRE WAS BETTER THAN N.W.A HANDS DOWN...
I feel the reason Death Row blew up better than Ruthless was because Ruthless fell apart BEFORE it could really blow up. Dre left Ruthless to help form Death Row, and several of Ruthless’s artists wound up on Death Row once Ruthless started falling apart (Above The Law, CPO, etc.)...just my opinion
Dre is a legend
dre is a fucking women abuser and a hypocrite
+Picadie see is a bitch 2pac and eazy are the gods of rap
+Picadie Dre is dope and a genius. But like what you said He is a woman beater. Dre is talented at what he does, but he seems to like to dress himself up as a real G and a hardcore Gangsta. When he isn't.
. A woman beater too!
@@dooky1089 Daz ghost produced most of Dre's stuff. Hell even Suge admitted it.
Charlamagne has a point about Dr. Dre bc he did give us Snoop Tupac Krupt and so on but people can argue saying that the straight outta Compton album was superior too any other album but look at the facts Dre gave us more hip hop artists that were talked about and still are whether there alive or not and then Dre gave us a new generation of artists like my favorite Eminem and 50 cent and the list keeps going
+Jamal Jewell yea but how can u forget about Tupac Daz and Krupt and Lady of Rage they all came in and did their shit
But you could argue without lonzo Williams there wouldn't be a world class wreckin crew,Ren and Eazy wouldn't have met Jerry heller through lonzo,yella would still be working at Taco Bell and Dre would still be djing in warren Gs bedroom the future could of changed drastically,with the lives they lived any of them could of been dead before 1989 especially Ren and Eazy with the gangs and dope dealing
Kevin Najera Pac was already famous before he went to deathrow
Kewan Umbles-Jenkins true you're right there but after he went to Deathrow he became the biggest rap artist of all time till his untimely death but we don't know how the world would b if Eazy and Dre didn't partner up or if everyone didn't meet up and formed N.W.A anybody can say "oh these guys would b here and here"
Vlad drinks pickle juice with ice
Shits fire though 🔥
He was 8 years old when that Album came out! I was 13 and that Album blew my mind! It's iconic! NWA is iconic! One group with 4 Platinum rappers! Each of them with a stamp on Hip Hop History. He sound like a New York nigga but he from South Carolina! NWA changed the way people viewed hip hop!
NWA is a group but death row was a whole label that’s not a good comparison. The artists in NWA branched our and expanded hip hop from Dre making death row into what it became, Cube and the west side connection, and eazy with bone thugs. NWA has arguable had more impact on hip hop than any artist and it group.
CTG is like these kids who weren't around to see Thriller, yet he'll say Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson.
GOH!!
CTG is older too he just saying shit cause he can get away with it....nigga ho cake.
chris brown is a better dancer for sure
I say things to get people get mad. That's why I'm voting for Hilary because she's a woman.
Charlamagne Tha God I respect everybody's opinion, because music is subjective. But your opinion comes off as if it's the gospel. And if you say things just to stir the pot....that means "you" don't even believe most of what you're saying.
+keith cozart Chris Brown is not a better dancer, they have different dancing styles, but mj would own cb
But Sug ran over a dude and killed him on the set 🤦🏽♀️
that was Warren G that did the Deez Nuts intro, not Snoop.......
I was 9 when the chronic dropped & the chronic never stopped being the chronic until all eyez on me dropped. That's a long time for one album to be that impactful & relevant. Vlad dude your so outta wack.
Death Row was bigger than NWA for sure. Every Death Row album was bigger a than any NWA album.
This dude Charlamagne doesn't know what hes talking about at all.. Dudes almost as old as me and acts like he knows shit about the streets..
He was a crack dealer before he got famous so he may or may not have gotten a glimpse of it
World Class Wrecking Cru < NWA < Death Row < Aftermath < BEAT BY DRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dre is the greatest businessman for this shit alone. He got better and better as he went along until he hit the absolute peak. A Billionaire...Charlamagne was on point with this
Shaq was in no way more athletic than wilt 🤣
Warren G was the one who said Deez Nuts on the chronic
If Eazy E got diagnosed with Aids today he would live longer. There has been so much advancement in aids medication and aids work since Eazy died
Checkers Lane dude nobody dies from dat shit that fast
"DRE MIGHT BE GOD" LMAOOOOOOOO
The camera is making him nervous or he is on something.
He can’t sit comfortable
Johnny Qush he was drinking alcohol. Lol
First of all I have to give Vlad props for being a great interviewer. I've watched a lot of his interviews and he always has his stuff together. he always has facts and is very knowledgeable about every topic that is talked about. This guy Charlemagne made a good point, about the NWA movie, with the little cheesy line that Dre said at the end, and the part where Ice Cube son was typing on a computer, give him that. But he really doesn't know what he's talking about. I still feel as though the movie was amazing and will probably go down as a classic. NWA were icons, they change the face of hip-hop and rap music. I like how Vlad put Charlemagne in his place a few times and his interview, because I was there when NWA first came out and it blew everyone's mine.
If the DOC hadn't have had the accident that crushed his larynx he'd have been up their with the best.
The doc wrote a lot of snoops shit so he was around
Both of yall wrong. Dr dre did the deez nuts interlude.
and you're wrong warren g did that skit
+dslimm yea it was warren g
+dslimm he did it but it became a famous saying after doggy styles album
This revisionism of history is shocking!!!!! All of a sudden now NWA and Ruthless was better than Death Row???? Man man man.....some things aint even worth wasting time on discussing. There are just IGNORANT people out there!!!! What Death Row did in the 90s was historic!!! Every single album at the height of that label sold no less than double platinum!!!!! I am disappointed in Vlad!!!!
No Jamal......If it goes to that, then equally there would have been no Ruthless Records without the very same Dr. Dre you are talking about......We should never ever forget that it the very idea of creation of Record label that was Ruthless was the idea of the very same Dre. As an already popular producer of the World Class Wrekin Cru, he is the one who approached Eazy E with the idea......for Eazy to put money to finance it. I mean Dre was already popular in the West Coast as a dope producer for the Cru.....so Eazy made no Dre.....let's get that straight. To show that Dre was the heart of Ruthless....his departure threw that label as the dominant force in the West Coast out of balance.......And to prove how powerful he was.....everyone could not wait for the first recordings of Death Row....and indeed, Death Row was the undisputed Hip Hop Dynasty of the 90s.....that is a fact no one can deny! So Ruthless did not make Death Row.....that is a LIE!!!! And by the way......The Chronic and the subsequent G-Funk albums of that label marked the dawn of a new sound.....one of the attributes we credit Dre for to this day!!!!
So just like we cannot say there could have been no Ruthless without World Class Wreckin Cru......equally we cannot say there could have been not Death Row without Ruthless!!! Just like we cannot say there could have been no Aftermath without Death Row......Reality is that the talents of the artists involved were there long before those record labels!!!
So we need to guard against those peripheral rap fans who are either new to the game or just straight ignorant.
Do you think there will be some shootings when Chiraq movie comes out?
Death Row was definitley better than NWA. Especially since Ice Cube did most of the ghost writing and Dre killed the producing game, there wasn't really anyone else that special
It wasn't snoop who said "Deez nuts" it was Warren G talking to a female in the intro. On the song that Nate sings the hook "I can't be faded I'm a nigga from the mothaphukkin streetz " dope song .
Why he keep pouting his lips though? I swear these dudes just need to just go on and twirl out of the closet 🙆
I have always thought CTG was suspect!
