Dr. Dre - Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre (Discussion Thread) *Stream*

[El Jefe]

So the general conesnus seems yo be this album takes a little while to kick in, if it doesn't catch u on first listen

Buy once it does

Dre put this together in a short amount of time

Everyone from math including musicians x producers sayin he started from scratch


That's just ..

I remember.listening to Quincy's Jones last project and remember in for.most part how trash it was and putting it down to age

But dre put this together at the age of 50

Edit : forgot to.mention fredwreck told me they hadn't even finished recordin the last 2 tracks at the time the cover and project was announced

West Coast, please come take the crown from these bumpkins. They've had their 10 years.


He's all over G-Funk Era Pt. II. I wish Warren made it a full album.

We bike

i love the sample on its all on me...I wonder where that shyt is from...it's clearly someone harmonizing or some shyt...

 

[jwonder]

torrent worthy

Haven't heard it yet but that's the route I'm going. I bought everything from Dre going all they way back in 1987. I bought some of his shyt twice when my shyt got stolen.

To find out he gave 70 million to USC instead of building up Compton. I'm like fukk it. Can buy his shyt. Get it for free tho

all in a days work....best beat on the album

These two paragraphs from a NYT review sum up what I love most about Dr. Dre's productions.

But those are microconcerns, and Dr. Dre is macrominded. His true peers aren’t other hip-hop producers, not even tenured greats like Kanye West or Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes or even DJ Premier, the New York formalist who produces one song here, “Animals,” in a sort of fantasy-league, best-of-both-coasts arrangement. All of them, even the ambitious Mr. West, focus primarily on how small parts of songs interact to create the whole. You can hear the gears at work.

Dr. Dre, by contrast, is more concerned with atmosphere, mood and texture. He has a production credit on about half of the songs on this album — and he uses samples elegantly, a dying skill — but he was involved with mixing all of them, and that’s a more important detail. They all share a tactile physicality. Ever since “The Chronic,” it’s been clear that Dr. Dre’s real peers are film score composers — say, John Williams or James Horner — who communicate emotional direction with broad, legible strokes that set the tone for the details sprinkled atop.

Him and Jimmy Iovine went half. I was in LA and its not in Compton but USCal is slap dead in the hood. Right off a MLK Boulevard. Do not remember the avenue.

I Like it. its not the greatest album ever. i think some folks expect too much. its those nuccas he was talkin about in all in a days work ( which has been on repeat all day)

Flabbynsick east coast brehs think their opinions matter

 

[kariba]

Between the new guys that Dre introduced on this record, Anderson Paak seems like the one with the greatest potential and I think he's the one that Dre's going to give his attention to, after this project. Dude has a unique voice plus he is very marketable.

I loved the two Jon Connor verses (matter of fact his For The Love of Money verse is top 3 on the album) but to the masses he sounds like another gangsta rapper and the King Mez features were just alright, nothing great.

Besides that trap beat on the first song this album is musical excellence.
