Doesn't help that he only shipped physicals months later, didn't shoot any video or prepare any singles, and it was only on Apple/iTunes

I doubt Dre really cared too much about the sales given the rollout

Just get the old crew to write his lyrics again, he sounded horrible through this entire album :mjcry:
He shouldve got the same writers from chronic & 2001
Damn just typing about this album makes me sad & angry again, I really thought if Dre actually releases something after fukkin 16 years it would definetely be a game changer and classic.... Instead we got this absolute trash :mjcry::mjcry::damn::mindblown:

I hate you nikkas....album was different..not what you expected...but it was far the fukk away from trash breh. It is a classic...there is not one single skng on that album that is skipable...not one...so what its not nostalgic Dre...its still good fukking music...with grade a production...Satisfiction is the dopest beat on the album by far...

I'm one of the biggest Dre stans on here, but Compton wasn't a fukking classic, come on :shaq2:

As stated not one skip-able song on the album.....and this is not some preference I like it cause I like it shyt. It is really good solid fukking music brehs. Imma tell you what happened. For one he dropped it damn near overnight, gave no one time to digest whats was happening. 2nd it was the back end of his win with Apple and a lot of people (mostly haters) were turned off by his good fortune and didn't feel like they connected to him anymore. 3rd alot of people feel Dre is too old to change his style the way he did. And for the most part dismissed the sound because it wasn't nostalgic enough for them(but they didn't judge the music for what it is..they judged for what they wanted it to be......classic internet fukk shyt if you ask me but what ever)

I pride myself on getting away from social media bullshyt, I hate "waves", people who follow trends, people who constantly repeat dumbass memes and phrases all day. I basically hate following bullshyt.
I say that to say I can look or listen to something for what it is, in a non judgemental, unbias way and critique for what it is flaws and all. Compton was is a masterful album. I personally like that Dre changed up his sound on it. Sounds like a different newer artist. I like the direction he went. I like how he stayed true to himself yet was able to transition into this new age of music and still make better music then 99% of the artist out today. I like that the beats were nothing like I had heard before. I like the ultimate message and the finality of the project. I don't think Compton is his Grand Opus, but I do feel if there was ever an album to finish out his Trilogy that was the one. It wasn't commercial or try hard bullshyt like Kush or I need a Doctor, you can tell he was back in his organic zone.............I honestly don't get how anyone as a real music fan can listen to that album and not consider it a great fukking album if not a classic effort put forth by Dre........just being honest.......dudes calling it trash have me fukking puzzled the most........but the internet is just one big Talk first without thinking conundrum of dumbass know it all logic......:scust:
