'''''World Class''''' is the first [[studio album]] by American [[Los Angeles]]-based electro-hop group [[World Class Wreckin' Cru]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XkCncJ7j744C&q=World+Class+Wreckin%27+Cru&pg=PA233 |title=Hip Hop in America: A Regional Guide - Mickey Hess - Google Books |date=2009-11-25 |isbn=9780313343216 |accessdate=2015-08-18|last1=Hess |first1=Mickey }}</ref> It was released in 1985 under the Kru-Cut record label.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/World-Class-Wreckin-Cru-The-World-Class/release/48486|title=The World Class Wreckin Cru* - World Class|website=Discogs|year=1985 |language=en|access-date=2017-03-10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/world-class-mw0001692942|title=World Class - World Class Wreckin' Cru {{!}} Songs, Reviews, Credits {{!}} AllMusic|website=AllMusic|access-date=2017-03-10}}</ref> Songs on the album included "Juice" and "Surgery", which were popular singles on the underground [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] scene.<br />
<br />
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.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bXy2wTEsbCsC&q=Real+Muthaphuckkin+G%27&pg=PA325 |title=Icons of Hip Hop: An Encyclopedia of the Movement, Music, and Culture - Google Books |isbn=9780313339042 |accessdate=2015-08-18|last1=Hess |first1=Mickey |year=2007 }}</ref> The style was later attributed to the fashion sense of [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] which was heavily popular at the time. It was also parodied by [[Luther Campbell]] on the song "Cowards Of Compton".<br />
