I would say both albums probably pioneered Gangsta Rap. I know SOC is considered to be the main album that did it, but The Chronic sounds nothing like it imo. Or maybe SOC pioneered Gangsta Rap and The Chronic pioneered G Funk. The Chronic sounds more like Niggaz4Life which is why I prefer that album to SOC.
I agree with Soulflower about Kanye.
