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

[CarltonJunior]

I cant stop listening. Great project through and through, with something for everybody. Problem is that some people want it to be something its not. People gotta remember that even though dre is older he always worked with new artists on his albums. You have to accept the newcomers and not expect too many older guys to steal the show.

Em was new when 2001 dropped, snoop was new when the chronic dropped, and thats just 2 examples. Funny how people dont like this album for the same reasons they love MBDTF, where ye would drop in legends and use them as chess pieces. Dre did the same here, but did it better. This album is a hip hop masterpiece.

If they dropped as singles, the stand out classics would be Its All on Me, For the Love of Money, Deep Water and Animals. Those tracks are going to go down as legendary tracks in the future, i think. They will be in my rotation until the day i die.

Weird album. Can't say I hate it tho

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Dudes calling this album garbage are going too far. This ain't 2001 and never was supposed to be. It's a lot different than any of us expected but it's far from garbage. People like mumbling raps from future and young thug nowadays.

Unclog your ears. Y'all been too conditioned to the hot trash that's commercial rap these days. This is a musical masterpiece that gets better after each listen. A perfect soundtrack for the current state of Hub City and so many hoods in USA.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Not garbage

But not special at all


nikkas just overhyped for anything Dre related


shyt is forgettable
2 tracks on it are decent


The production sound like the background music on CSI when there is a scene in an urban club and some fake classically trained thespians pretend to be thugs

I was trying to see why people like 2001 over TC, even considering how pretty much the whole second half of the album was skippable, but then I thought about how TC's second half isn't worth a thing anyway.

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

To use a common phrase

"It's over"

 

[be back in a bit]

Im pretty sure the good shyt Dre made for Detox is not on this album. shyt like Kush and Young World was better than this shyt.

I don't see dudes in here suggesting that "commercial rap these days" has superiority over this album. They're judging it in accordance to Dre's past efforts.

 

[be back in a bit]

Damn though, Game spazzed on this album.

That's what I've been trying to tell folks. I mean it would have been nice to have Kurupt, Daz, and/or an unreleased Nate Dogg hook on it. But lets be real, when Dre makes music he has to visualize that rapper on that beat. If they don't fit the mood then they are not on it.

Same goes for why he didn't have folks like YG, Nipsey, and the west of the younger cats coming out the West on this. If he felt they didn't fit the mood of the album..then they don't won't be on it. I mean it's simply to me

And Dre for giving all his album money to the Compton community. Not like he needed the money anyway unlike some rappers

Spoiler

But really tho..this album plays like a movie and I hope Dre does some high budget videos for it..ESPECIALLY for Deep Water.

Only time will tell what tracks will stand the test of time..but for now
