i just finished listenin' so here's my quick review after listenin' to the album song by song
intro was nice
"talk about it" - sounds like kanye's "all day". i ain't feelin' this, sounds uninspired
"genocide" - i like this song for kendrick's part only but the beat don't do nothin' for me. it ain't bad but nothin' bout it is great
"it's all on me" - this is cool, nice just cruisin' and ridin' round ya city music
"all in a day's work" - only thing i like here is the beat, the beat knock like crazy. but i ain't feelin' anderson's singin'. marsha cool though
"darkside gone" - i ain't feelin' the first minute at all aside for a couple of cool production tricks. the eazy shout out was nice and the beat switch up was cool and it was a tad bit better than the original beat. kendrick did his thing and the way the beat slowed up for him was cool too. but best part bout it was kendrick's rhymes and marsha's singin'
"loose cannons" - this is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! i fukks with this. this that shyt! happy to hear him and cold187um back together, like the west was won! west west y'all. and that beat switch for x! godamn!
"issues" - i ain't feelin' the singin' on the chrous but i'm lovin' the production and the beat! this shyt knocks, i'm lovin' the drums. ain't nothin' like hearin' cube over this hard ass drums that's goin' knockin' hard as a bytch. cube sounds the hungriest he's been since "laugh now, cry later" but i don't like chorus and the singin' at all. i'm so happy to hear him and cube back together for the first time in a long time. ain't nothin' like hearin' cube in his element and rockin' over a beat. the don mega! "yay yay!"
"deep water" - beat rattle like a damn rattlesnake and that bass line whew! but this shyt is cool. i fukks with it. dre got the music real loud here. kendrick shines as usual. this kind of reminds me of "murder ink" from chronic 2001 with the way the sound is distorted at times. but this that shyt that'll knock out ya speakers, love the horns at the end too.
"one shot one kill" - this sounds like a song that eminem would've rhymed over at the peak of his powers. i feel like they ain't really do this justice and the beat ain't all that to me. dull moment here
"just another day" - this is really great, game is hungry as fukk on this and i'm lovin' the band sound. i can hear a live band playin' this shyt. game is spazzin' on this shyt and the beat, that muthafukka knock. this shyt crazy!
"for the love of money" the sample of bone's "for the love of money" took me back to wearin' dikkies and havin' a fro and rolls. i fukks with this shyt. this that shyt. beat crazy bass driven and jon conner is goin' hard, but them jucy j like chants of "yeah" help a tremendous amount, this that get hype shyt
"satisfaction" - i ain't feelin' that chorus at all or dre's flow. snoop sounds like himself here and better than he did on "one shot one kill". shinnin' moment is snoop but outside of that i ain't feelin' this one
"animals" - premier! best parts is dre's verses and premier's touches on the beat. those premier scratches and handpicked samples thrown are a nice touch. but that chorus and singin' ain't what's up
"medicine man" - eminem shines here and sounds like he finally has remembered how to rhyme again. this needed to be an eminem solo and when that beat switches and just knocks out is the highlight here. this is eminem ladies and gentlemen, not relapse, recovery, encore or even the eminem show. this sounds like marshall mathers lp eminem right here. the white boy found his way back home here. again, this should've been an eminem song
"talking to my diary" - nice endin' to the album, ends on a strong note. soulful beat, i can cruise to this shyt. i wish dre would've let the beat just ride out even longer, on some james brown and the j.b.'s shyt
short notes: i ain't a fan of anderson paak's singin' at all and the chorus reminded just how important nate dogg was to not only dre's music but music period. nate could get on any damn song and guarantee you a damn hit and or great song. he played a very vital part in music and he is missed dearly
