Gotta think the lack of external features have to do with label rights and contracts. Seems like this project was put together rather quickly.

Most of the peeps features are interscope/aftermath or independent outside of Jill Scott/Marsha

YES . . the ALBUM is MOSTLY NEW AGE style music influenced by house . . all airy and dreamy and shyt


You really think so? I read that's the direction he was going for a while with Detox but looking at that tracklist and the features it looks like a pretty straight hip hop album to me. I don't think he'd call the album "Compton" if he the album is filled with house and edm.

I think we can look to American Gangster as the blueprint :steviej: to what Dre is doing here. That album had alot of 70s soul style production to go along with the setting of the movie, I think this will sound alot like an 80s hip hop album production-wise. Nostalgia is the thing these days

First cassette ever in my life was the chronic. 10 years old in Cali. Dre has influenced the way I've listened to music my whole life.

Already pre ordered.

Honestly...very, very nervous but excited.

He's on the Mt. Rushmore of hip hop undoubtedly, regardless of how this is received. Period.
