Classic Article of the Source: Dr Dre Leaving Death Row

[19-]

High Powered is fire!

its still dope but i dont think its fukkin with anything else on the chronic

 

[VBM]

if you were gonna knock the chronic a mic for anything (which in itself is blasphemous ) it would be for something like high powered

The Rage sample in the background is so :demonicabel:

I drop bombs like Hiroshima

I liked Been There Done That when it first came out. The production was too clean at the time. I liked the direction he was going in too, saying "gangsta rap is dead" and trying to get out that box, maybe expand song content. Didn't happen though, with Aftermath comp and The Firm.

On a side note muthafukk the Source for not giving The Chronic 5 mics for Lil Ghetto Boy

Wait this the song they said held it back from 5 Mics?

This like my favorite song on the whole album. fukk was these nikkas thinking?

And as we know now, there was the infamous group meeting before Dre left where Pac straight called him out for being gay and Dre say he wasn't gay but was bi lmao. And notice how Dre made it a point to tell the interviewer he was late cuz he was bangin out his lady. Ol insecure as dude.

Dre was my favorite artist back in the day, but he's a complete sellout and fakkit now.

If Pac hadn't died, DR would have went on to crush the game after Dre left. Pac brought a whole new vibe and reinvented DR. They could have done it without Dre.

But Pac was fed up with Death Row himself and planned to leave the label after Makaveli

God's word

My brother you sound ignorant. You don't want to take it there with me. He's sexual preference isn't why you listen to his music.

I can name countless artists who made timeles music that are gay or criminals etc etc... You bought the chronic not his wife and kids..


Get it together

what happened to Hip-hop journalism?

smh

 

[THE K-MAN]

Smh

The Shining was the worst rating in Source history

 

[MK25toLife]

That east coast west coast song had zero impact when it came out, I don't even remember it. As I read the article I wondered if it had even come out.

Nah. His imprint Euphamasia was going to be under DR. No way he was leaving Suge.

 

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

Lol at the last line saying lil ghetto boy should not have been included. Legendary song.

 

[nieman]

The Source was stingy back then. Great reviews

And I thought The Shining for 3 mics was ok. All of BCC stuff got 3-3.5 and justifiable since none of it really stood out.

Did dre and DOC reconcile? This is my shyt
