World Class is the first EP recorded and produced by the LA electro-hop group World Class Wreckin' Cru.[1] 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.[2] The style was later attributed to the fashion sense of Prince which was heavily popular at the time. It was also parodied by Luther Campbell on the song Cowards Of Compton.
