    No mixtapes, and it has to be the actual retail debut not their first big albums (e.g. The Infamous, 400 Degreez, etc...). Mine in no particular order:

    Also Jeezy came out strong, and I guess 'The Chronic' is Dre's solo debut but we got a hefty dose of his music with NWA.

    Yeah, Get Rich or Die trying isn't a debut album either. Here's my list

    Run DMC - Run DMC
    LL Cool J - Radio
    Stetsasonic - On Fire
    Eric B and Rakim - Paid in Full
    Boogie Down Productions - Criminal Minded
    Beastie Boys - License to Ill
    Public Enemy - Yo ? Rush The Show
    Big Daddy Kane - Long Live the Kane
    The Jungle Brothers - Strait Out The Jungle
    Eazy E - Eazy Duz It

    All classics, and those are just from the 80s.

    GKMC is his major label debut and that's what most people consider your "official" debut. Technically Nas and Big had demos before their respective major label debut
