Funny this was my introduction to Anderson.Paak and now he is one of my favorites.

She luv it over here like Gold Watch.
The song with the game goes fukking stupid
it’s a dope album, but it’s Dre and I expect more. I was let down
I still remember when Eazy e’s voice dropped I though the beat was about to go hard on some old skool west shyt and then it went tame
it as still dope and Kendrick killed it but I dunno, just wasn’t it
animals imo is one of the dopest rap records ever
Talking to my diary beat is way tough. Just the instrumental gets me in my feelings on some story shyt
sounds incredible
still not it though

Hadn't heard until recently when it was released on Spotify
Coming in I had low expectations since I knew people here had trashed it. But I also learned a long time ago I shouldn't take what people say on here seriously. Album was solid from start to end.
did it have classic tracks like Still Dre, Next Episode, Let Me Ride, Nuthin' but a G thang and so on? No not really. But I was good album with several cool joints.

The album is trash. Your standard below average album with 4-5 good tracks, and everything else is forgettable.
It seems to me that Dre is just one of the people now, that people refuse to say when he puts out wack music. This is Aftermath level bad. Matter of fact, between Aftermath Presents and Nas Is Coming bad. That's the level he's on with this one. Just admit it.

If you're the type to hate change or not welcoming with a new sound then of course you hate it cuz your ears are too stubbornly stuck in the the 90's early 2000's and that's the only thing you want to go on forever. But for someone like me that appreciates production, mixing, the sonically sound of production, this is another GREAT album by Dre. It ain't the type of album that you just digest off one listen and that's it. You gotta sit down with it and dissect it piece by piece, appreciating the work it was put into it, the usage of new sounds. Plus the fact that Anderson Pak shined throughout and yet another star was born on a Dr Dre release, lets you know everything the good Doctor is

I swear all Dre had to do was make an album with modern sounding West Coast G-funk beats and everyone would have been happy but he had to overthink it and try to reinvent the wheel.
All he had to do was drop an album with Beats like this and rap with his normal voice and we would have had another classic.
This is how the album should have sounded. West Coast G Funk with a modern twist. Not ONE beat on Compton was anywhere even close to these beats and I challenge anyone of you to tell me otherwise
Get the entire f*** outta here!!
Even at Dre's weakest he ain't never had any weak sounding production like that. If he would've produced something like that, everyone would still say he fell off
"HOW his last album was COMPTON"
on the real, Dre is known for creating new sounds every decade. Whatever he did with the chronic in the 90's is wayyy different than what he did with NWA, and through the late 90's wayy different than the chronic days. Then the 2000's with 50 and Em,
Yall just got used to one sound and held on to it for as long as yall could. That ain't dre. It's a new decade and he's constantly evolving his sound, but like i said, if you ain't into production, you wouldn't understand

A lot of people got it twisted when it was announced. Folks thought this was going to be a Dr Dre album. Not a "soundtrack" because Straight Out of Compton had it's own SDK.
So when it dropped, a lot of people were surprised by a bunch of artists and producers on it. Basically a compilation and that's why it's hated on.
Darkside/Gone was classic Dr. Dre and Talk About Me is how you do a complicated trap beat with switch ups.
You can tell a real producer from those fruity loop demo producers.
It was a dope album production wise but not something I can play front to back besides a few tracks I liked. Music is subjective tho.
The album is not good. Specifically, the songs aren't good. I don't care about the sonically sound of the production the evolution of Dre or whatever y'all want to dress it up as. The artists clash with the beats, the hooks are horrible, the Em-esque flows. You can honestly say that a song like Darkside is good? It's all over the place, as are much of the songs. This ain't a BBE instrumental type, it's an album/compilation. Other than about 4-5 songs, the rest are bad. No one else could put this out and it be called good.
