    GRODT is still amazing album, probably the greatest debut album of all time, but I'll go with 2001, monumental point of Dr. Dre career.

    To me these two are the most important albums of the 1999-2005 Aftermath era, because while Dre developed THAT sound with 2001, it was GRODT (and to a certain extent, The Documentary) that perfected it. Both albums contain many classic hits: Still D.R.E., Xxplosive, What's The Difference, The Next Episode, and The Watcher on 2001; In Da Club, 21 Questions, Wanksta, Patiently Waiting, What Up Gangsta, and P.I.M.P. on GRODT just to name a few.

    It's a hard choice for me, but I'll go with GRODT. It is more consistent and almost every song on it is 10/10.

    Almost forgot just how great 2001 is. But the second half of the album does feel a little weaker than the first half while GRODT is consistent all the way through. It all comes down to personal preference because both albums are phenomenal.

    Just wanted to add that people don't bring up this classic often enough.

    One of the most important albums in hiphop.

    I think it would be interesting to have a Chronic 1992 Vs 2001 thread. 2 absolute monster albums.

    I have to go with GRODT. That's as perfect of an album as you can get. I don't think there's one skippable track on it.

    GRODT has enough bangers to spread across 3 albums. You close your eyes and pick almost any song and it could be used as the best song and single on most rappers album.

    2001 is right up there but GODTR is just a notch above imo.

    2001 has higher highs so I voted for that, but don’t think it’s a wash

    When you look up masterpiece in the dictionary GRODT shows up. And this thread made me listen to it again.

    The mixing on 2001 is so clean. It sounds way better than most high-profile rappers' s--- even in 2021.

    Both classics, 2001 is better though. Rap music was so much nicer back in the day

    2001. But very close. 2001 is like a musical masterpiece, every beat on that s--- is 10/10.
