if dre went back to nikkaz4 life sound, but with good writers this time for the lyrics, that be his 3rd classic solo. that era gets slept on because of the over the top shock lyrics but the production on there was as good as any era of dre.
Dre said this was an album inspired by the movie, however, judging by the track list and features I beg to differ.

peep how calculated that video is to appeal to white kids. Cool tattoos, smoking weed, acting like a frat boy, adding a guitar to the track ("is that him playing guitar? he's so talented!"), the Drake flow...etc.
My problem isn't just that he's white TBH. It's that he's white and not talented. If we could somehow take the internet+The Coli back to the late 90s when Dre signed Eminem and discuss him in a similar thread ("Dre just signed some whiteboy from Detroit")...no one would be calling him wack outside of a few haters. Eminem was actually talented when he got signed, he wasn't a "project" that needed to be sent to rap camp. If Dre signed a talented white rapper today I'd have no problem with it.
This dude is already in the studio with Pharrell and other producers. He no doubt has a host of ghostwriters. for his bars and hooks. You know what's even funnier? The last two times the industry has attempted to sell a white boy to the public, the guys had the decency to walk away. Remember Asher Roth's fratboy shyt?
Notice how that video uses the EXACT imagery as the video you posted lol. Roth eventually realized he was being used, and decided to turn down another road (he makes indie shyt now, some of which is good).
Then there's Mac Miller.
Literally every label wanted to sign him and give him whatever he wanted. Dude could have easily been the next big thing. Instead he said fukk it and did his own thing, and even admits he's not that great of a rapper. Out of the people I've met in the music industry, Mac is easily one of the nicest and most real. That's why so many rappers fukk with him, and why he's still doing well on the independent steez. Dude turned down a publicity deal wherein he'd get to chill with Ariana Grande and pretend to be dating her in order to produce for and chill with Vince Staples, Earl, etc.
