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

Cool album but seems like an album that's not gonna have much replay value after a few weeks

They're no hits no classic memorable dre tracks that were all over the first two

It's cool nothing more..the people declaring it classic are just so starved for a classic album that they are going way overboard

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

My favorite track on here is the one Premo worked on...all the other tracks got too much going on.

Yeah too much of the album is went overboard with the beats trying to make it into some type of musical

The ones he stuck to his usual script like animals and the best games slit on are fire

Listened through a few times. It's not bad but nothing really stands out to me outside of a few guest verses. The production and Dre's voice are just everywhere on here. Like someone said, Dre doesn't sound like Dre hardly at all..his writers failed on being writers for him. Another big complaint I have is the singers who can really sing seemed to have had their vocals altered to the point where they don't even stand out on their tracks (BJ The Chicago Kid, Marsha, Jill Scott). The Anderson Paak dude's voice is kind of annoying too. Solid effort but if he thought this was much better than Detox, I wonder how bad/good that really was..Kendrick did his thing though. For those who saying that this is what they wanted TPAB to be

That wide, spacious, lush audio soundscape that Dre creates tho....

 

[TrebleMan]

I really want to like this album more.

 

[L68]

some good beats but i cant stand how all these new rappers sound alike and rap the same.. and half the time i could barely tell if dres rapping with him changing his voice instead of using his old flow and voice everyone liked

ehh

 

[California Burrito]

this cant be dre's last album we need a detox with features from kurupt, nate dogg, nipsey, jay rock, schooboy q, k dot, xzibit, knoc-turnal, snoop, mc ren, cube, crooked i, old eminem, etc this cant be it

DECENT MUSIC. EXTREMELY LOW REPLAY VALUE.

Increasing the font size isn't going to make people side with you.

This is for Dre.. probably a **** mic album. It's real solid. I've listened all the way through 3 times now. I don't think there's a track on the album I'd call trash. Few average joints. Whoever said that it's missing the party joints is correct. It's great ridin music or at the house but I can't see these getting play at the club.

Now for 2015? It probably is ****1/2 mics. I have to give it the extra 1/2 based on the current DJ Mustard climate.

That Anderson Paak nikka voice is so annoying. I don't like the 1st track either probably never will. All the other songs are decent to great. Genocide is the best song to me

I've heard a few people say this. For me Paak MAKES some of these tracks. I thought he was great but looks like opinions on him are divisive.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Listened to it all the way thru 3 times and it's a 3/5 for me.


I gave him the .5 simply off of it being dre.

If it were anyone else it would have been a 2.5/5.

I honestly feel like I will never listen to this album again

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I like it a lot. There is a lot to this album and I feel like itll take a few more listens to fully grasp it.

Dr Dre is as good or better as a rapper than Drake is. He really came with someone elses bars this time around.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

The production alone gives it 3 mics at the very least.

you throw in Kendrick, Snoop and some other guest verses and I don't see how anyone could say it's less than 3.5 especially considering what we are comparing it against in 2015.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I get if people are disappointed, but why are we talking replay value after 2 days of release?

 

[DosCadenaz]

This album is a movie imo. I love it
