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

Tell me about all those classic Mel Man beats before and after 2001 breh

As far as producing beats. Most have a four year run or more and fall off.

album has grown on me, but vocally, Dre was off, and what annoyed me most about the album. Didn't have that Dre feel or command he usually has (minus a couple tracks)

To all the Defenders of this album, I wonder why they didn't include it in this picture ?

Q-Tip such a fraud, he dissing that kind of music back in the day. Now he holding the Album's for a photo OP. Dude hated all that west coast shyt.

Dre is at 30+ years though. Outside of Death Row he's always shared production credits and it's no secret he works with a bunch of musicians. All who seem to make their best music with Dre behind them.

People love to discredit his talent but the fact is Dre brings the best out of people, and all of the musicians who work with him say he's hands on.

He elevated from a beat maker to a producer decades ago.

Couple great tracks like Deep Water and Animals but overall this shyt is meh.

never heard from Justus again. Another Dre acolyte drowns without releasing a single

 

[I love Latina women]

Looking back, this album was so wack.

I skimmed through this album a couple of times previously and when it came out and was not feeling it.....AT ALL. I wasnt feeling it for the same reason a lot of other people werent feeling it, because it didnt sound like vintage Dre. it was totally different from anything he had ever done. So I really didnt give it a chance. Fast forward to 2020 and I took the time to actually listen to it again all the way through without skipping and its not a classic or anything but I like it. I think its solid. for what it was, it was very solid and better than the majority of hip hop being put out today. If Detox ever comes out or whatever his next project will be, I am sure it wont sound anything like this, as this was not supposed to sound like any of his previous works. I am East Coast all day too.

It's solid waste. Not one memorable track in the whole album. Great mixing though

Nobody is discrediting him. But Dre hasn't been vintage Dre in decades. I'm just saying Compton isn't good. His best music doesn't have to "grow on you" It's below average. It's Aftermath and The Firm level. None of those projects Dre really acknowledges.
