Comment:

The entire rap game changed forever in 1986 — pretty much the moment Dr. Dre went to work with Ice Cube and Ruthless Records founder Eazy-E. Aside from pushing hip-hop away from the air-raid angst of Public Enemy and true-crime plots of Boogie Down Productions, the trio planted the seed for a family tree that continues to bust open with budding new careers and cliques. From top to bottom, that tree could also double as a crash course in recent hip-hop history, including the infamous (Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound) and grossly overlooked (Michel'le, Daz Dillinger, Lady of Rage) roster of Death Row Records, the dominance of Dre's own Aftermath imprint after the straight-out-of-the-box success of Eminem, the Game's second-wave of West Coast street stories, and the growing gangsta-rap empire of G-Unit, which boasts hardcore heavyweights 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Young Buck.
