Jayceon Taylor got put on by Dr. Dre and signed to Aftermath in 2002, briefly running with 50 Cent's G-Unit before his 2005 debut The Documentary went double platinum and put Compton back at the center of rap's conversation. He's kept a heavy release pace ever since — Doctor's Advocate, LAX, The R.E.D. Album, The Documentary 2 — while staying at the center of some of the genre's loudest feuds. Widely credited with helping pull West Coast hip-hop back into the mainstream during the 2000s.
