had apple music on random shuffle so after the intro it went straight to for the love of money. lol it's actually much better album opener than anything else on the track list. thought I was in for some real piff.

all in all its ok I guess, not sure if it's a really a keeper. ppl calling it a classic? really? what song on here is the next "still dre" or "next episode"?

not sure if there's a really a single classic hit on here.

This is Dre's detox dont let him fool you he just didnt wanna name it that because it will never live up to wait/hype...

This is not that good.. production is stale.. and to much King Mez...not enough Everyone else..

Blah..

First listen was most def lack luster but some of these artist did much better than I expected. It's just tough when you throw the caliber of Em and Kendrick on the album with Justus and King Mez. It takes something away in my opinion. That kid John Conner got something tho

Nah breh. 2001 was A-list beats with some C-list artists rappin on that A-list level

This shyt has a nucca named King Mez NOBODY knows

A white boy singer from TX

And some other wack new nucca

This shyt is nowhere near anywhere even remotely close to close to close to what 2001 was

We'll see where the "hype" is a week from now

Dope beats tho for the most part. Cool to see cube and X and Snoop on here but they are all still active too for the most part. shyt is just a strange album and I guess I got my hopes up..


thats more than fair. i dont trust opinions this early. im still working my way through the record. right now its a 4/5. could change for the worse or better as time passes.

I haven't heard it yet but from the responses, it sounds like this is more like that Aftermath album Dre dropped after first leaving Deathrow. Speaking of, Been there, done that and the tango scene in the video was a phenomenon all moment in hip hop.

To ppl sayin this is Detox with a different name, this was recorded in 2014-15, how the fukk is it same as Detox?

Cardiak said he made For the Love Of Money beat just last year, Premier said in an interview Anderson .Paak made the first version of Animals after Freddie Gray murder & Baltimore riots THIS year.

Is it really that difficult to believe Dre started creating the album after they had started making the movie? none of these beats sound like those leaked songs off Detox...

if you are on the fence about this try playing it loud with a good speaker system at home or in the car :krs:

id like it even if I listened to it through coke cans but when this is played loud it absolutely kills :dj2:

It's closer to that album than anything he's ever done

I wish Kurrupt made the album.

Kurupt mos definitely should have made this album, he's always had a strong presence on Dre's albums

Dre gave too much shine to some of these new cats that just aren't all that, Jon Conner is cool but the other nikkas I don't know

Finally got a real link. Rep me and I'll feed you.

Begging for reps :camby:

I listened to the album twice so its still sinking in... So far its a decent album.I guess the chronic/2001 had me wanting more snoop . Verses from kurupt,daz,rbx wouldve also been dope...ems verse was just ok to me but I expected that. Kendrick went in... And all the new artist did nothing for me. Production is amazing...
