Did Kendrick steal snoop&Dre buzz for their album

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

There’s a good chance that, given this album seems to be an advert for their Gin & Juice brand, that they didn’t really put all that much work into it. It seems within reason.

Compton = Movie Soundtrack
Missionary = Alcohol Advert

that would make sense. i just wanted to say it sound like commercial music

I'm doubling back on this point to add some context I remembered about Dre because I think you're 100% correct

Dre definitely tried to escape the gangsta rap trap he got stuck in. Some of us remember the Aftermath album that Dre tries to pretend never happened. We remember Been There Done That. Dre was trying to transition into elevated, fly, rich nikka raps but it didn't hit like he thought it would

Do any of y'all remember around 2011-12 when Dre popped up and was really excited about Rick Ross? Even with 50 and Ross beefing Dre went out of his way to show how much he admired Ross. Nikka even went to Ross' birthday party This might've seemed random at the time but given the context in this post it really lends to the fact that Ross was the vision that Dre was attempting back in 96.

The late 2000s/blog era also really saw the fly nikka, boss raps wave come through with nikkas like Currensy, Wiz, Roc Marciano erc. I think Dre could've become the artist he wanted to be back then but like I've been saying he secluded himself from the game

Dre's fear also gets in the way. This nikka can make whatever he wants with whoever he wants but he stays in the house making shyt he hates then repeating the cycle. And based on studio stories we've heard from artists it's clear Dre's feedback system is flawed because who the fukk is gonna tell Dr Dre "Idk about this one bro" That's how you end up with these out of touch ass songs and videos

When you look at a video like Been There Done That understand that this is the type of shyt Dre wanted to make

Breh sound excited af to spit them Ross written bars on 3 Kings too looking back

Shyt I forgot about 3 Kings that cements my point even more

This nikka got a Dre feature Dre loves that nikka Ross mane

The buzz disappeared when the single dropped.

the crazy thing is you know Dre has a bunch of heat from the death row days that he'll never put out officially

There's even some decent heat from after 2001.
