#10 2001 by Dr. Dre (1999)
The West Coast was in shambles in 1999. 2Pac was dead. Snoop Dogg was affiliated with the New Orleans-based No Limit Records. Ice Cube was releasing lukewarm music and focused on filmmaking. Then Dr. Dre re-introduced himself. Alongside his then-new protege Eminem, the Good Doctor dropped a masterpiece. One of the late 90s most definitive rap albums.
