Everybody was expecting some Chronic 2001 production.
Dre just shytted on every new school producer with the first track of the album. He was on some "let me show these youngins how to do it the right way."

Still can’t believe people actually hated this album. Especially considering all of the trash that was coming out around that time. It was a breath of fresh air. Sounded great and opened the door for Anderson Paak, who is dope as hell
Felt this joint was under appreciated

She luv it over here like Gold Watch.
This shyt was fire. Mez comin with "I don't give one fukk!" stayed gettin me hype.
CLASSIC

R.I.P. Kobe and Nip, that’s off the rip
its a great album, but doesn't have those signature Dre tracks that would make this a classic (G Thang, Dre Day, Still Dre, Next Episode, etc.)
still can play this front to back though. World's introduction to Anderson Paak. Kendrick absolutely crushed his features. Almost all features were on point tbh.
8.5/10

At all you clowns in here trying to say this album was good or anywhere even close to being a classic. shyt was trash and that's the reason why that's the general consensus. Not because everyone was expecting another chronic or 2001 or because it just went over everybody's heads. It was just trash. Here we are three years later and the album is completely forgotten about, never talked about or played while cuts from 2001 and The Chronic are played on a daily basis by the General Public. That tells you everything you need to know 
Dre to trying flow and sound like wack ass Kendrick Lamar
Dre not actually producing a single beat on the album
No hits, videos, or singles

Y’all need to stop lying about this album. It was very mediocre even by today’s standards. The very last track and the one with Ice Cube were the best ones. The rest were forgettable. The worst part was Dre sounding like Kendrick Lamar wrote every single lyric for him and even rehearsed his delivery and cadences.
Media reviews != General consensus
Like I said this album is almost completely forgotten about and it's not because of lack of promotion. It's because it was not good. Plain and simple.
It was a boring and soulless album with no standout or memorable beats, melodies, performances, or lyrics.
Where are the hits like nothing but a G Thang Let Me Ride Dre Day The Next Episode or Still Dre?
where are the timeless classics that will still be getting burned 20 years from now like what's the difference or Xxplosive?
the only real standout song on the album was Talking to My Diary and lo and behold it's basically the one song on the entire album that Dre is rapping in his normal voice and flow has a good beat. That was the basic problem with the album: it had wack beats and Dre not being himself.
