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

[King Ming]

Premo murdered him on his own shyt!

Each song just gets better after every listen when you can take in all the production and little trinkets Dre's got sprinkled in each track. Even the less ambitious songs like Just Another Day are very well produced. Yeah there's no catchy ride out songs like Xxplosive or Still DRE but I don't think Dre cares for hit chasing at this stage

And Eminem finally rapping over some good and modern sounding production

 

[Hersh]

Dre carries the album..his beats..

Did he come and say hes done after this? I feel like jon conner might b up next

 

[Dre Space Age]

Where's Knocturnal? jk

 

[Yoda]

Eh, this was ..... bit below average. maybe average. maybe 2.5 mics.

 

[ItWasWritten]

i think the album is dope. the music is great but the mixes could use less high end. especially the vocals. im enjoying at a reasonable volume

Yeah.....


I thought I was tripping, Thinking dre mixed these which he usually knocks out the park but these mixes are shrill as fukk, the treble on these is too much....to the point where it hurts to listen at a louder volume...

[Mike Otherz]

the whole shyt is dam near perfect to me

if theres a song imma end up skipping eventually its just satisfiction

a little too singy songy

once you get over how amazing the production is you really start to listen to the lyrics and how these dudes kill it

eminem to me has the centerpiece verse on the whole album

there are so many quotables but the production is just so powerful i was hardly even listening to lyrics at the beginning

dre production is really the star of this album whereas the other albums it was the emcees tearing the beats up, here the beats are just dammmm.

im coming round to that eminem song. the first half of that songs is crack, the first part of ems verse is dope, but when he switched to the shouting voice that shyt is torture.

i decided there was 12 songs i loved, 3 i didnt fx wit. but now out of thse 3 i didnt fx with, i like the game song the most, mostly for the production. so i guess thats 13 songs i fx with, and 2 i dont like, those 2 being one shot one kill, and issues. ice cube washed up brehs. snoop as well sorry to say. but even those songs have moments in the music that are dope. the mc’s just aint deliver for me.

Animals is MUSIC. MY GOODNESS.

If you're expecting The Chronics GOATness, I can understand being turn-off by Compton

...I won't front Dre voice-manipulation is off-putting, yet perplexing. Lowkey, even Uncle Snoop didn't sound like him But, the sound of Compton is what hooked me immediatelyThe production is one big SynCHRONICity( know I sound like Yeezus stans:facepalm) of BEATSbyDre Goin HAM on a hundred, thousand, trillion

King Kunta A.Paak, and Premo are the Real MVPs tho

Easily the best joint I've heard so far. Album went a bit downhill after that, but I'm only up to Satisfiction.

What the fukk is up with Eminem? Dude goes from trash to goat like it's nothing.
I couldn't even listen to his voice for the last 3 years, all that yelling

So I rose and grew balls, told these hoes to screw off
Decided opposing you is what I'm ‘posed to do alls
I did was say what I'm feeling when the vocal booth calls
And had you on pins and needles when I spoke to you all
You felt my pain, it's almost like I poked voodoo dolls
And I hope my spirit haunts the studios when I'm gone
My picture jumps off a poster and just floats through the halls
And fukking goes through the walls like the ghost of Lou Rawls


Karma's headed for Armageddon, the drama setter, I'm going in
Already got an arm and head, and whoever said word are just words

Can't hurt me more than I give a fukk
Even if my image ends up taking a personal hit
Whoever I hurt or whatever bridges I burned in this bytch
And whatever bytches feel like they didn't deserve what they get
And whatever consequences come with every verse, it's worth it
So Doc turn the beat on, whose turn is it to get murdered on it?

I just load up the most rhymes and open fire with a closed mind
All I needed was someone to co-sign, been a (Doctor's)
Assault rifle with the sniper scope for this whole time
Day one, set with the blasters, give me the orders, I spray uh
Pain in the ass and get shot in the ass with a paint gun
Ain't no one safe from, non-believers there ain't none
I even make the bytches I [rape] cum





VERSE OF THE YEAR
