Dr Dre's album isn't a classic & it doesn't need to be. It's a solid, dope hip hop album which I found enjoyable.
After my initial listens to this I really enjoyed it and I'm happy he scrapped the Detox project. I think that took the pressure off him and allowed him to just have fun and create a solid project. Had he did Detox he'd have to chase a hit or something to make that impact.
Nothing But A G Than, Straight out of Compton, fukk the Police, Still Dre, Next Episode, Let me Ride, Dre Day, Deep Cover.......you can look back and put some of those in the greatest rap songs of all time. That's a lot to live up to....and obviously 30 years into the game there's nothing that will match the impact of those records.
It's a dope album and I'm honestly happy to have new Dre music....but like any album I have things I like and dislike. I'll let the music live before I pass any further judgement.
