Not be your taste... but for me it seems like a old school classic... The World Class Wreckin' Cru was a 1980s Electro-hop group from Compton, California formed by the Eve After Dark nightclub owner and established DJ Alonzo Williams.
Other members of the fluctuating lineup included DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Shakespeare, and Cli-N-Tel. Dr. Dre and DJ Yella would go on to achieve fame as members of N.W.A. Fila Fresh Crew's Dr. Rock was also an early member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru.
The first album they made is called World Class
World Class is the first EP recorded and produced by the LA electro-hop group World Class Wreckin' Cru. It was released in 1985 under the Kru-Cut record label. Songs on the album included "Juice" and "Surgery", which were popular singles on the underground West Coast scene.
The album cover was used as a form of ridicule to Dr. Dre in Eazy-E's diss song Real Muthaphuckkin G's showing the album images of Dr. Dre on the album wearing flashy clothing and makeup which was also parodied by Luther Campbell on the song Cowards Of Compton.
