Beezy needs to jump in the conversation more. He's definitely one of my favourites on DEHH but he needs to get his two cents in when everyone's arguing.
Braeden Hysuick Ken and Feefo argue all the time Ken and C Town always argue too. Beezy is the little brother who the older brothers argue over when they play football or basketball.
yeah man I was like yeah what's Mykes ass gonna say about this shit cuz this shit dope AF. but he eventually changed my mind. I mean after hearing two fucking Chronics it's almost impossible to get satisfied. I also pray for another Dre product. some Chronic 3 or detox shit
Kingsman™ damn you let people change your thoughts on something very easily. it almost seems like you don't know what you like or dislike based on your own thoughts.. i think he's definitely some very good points like dre doesn't sounding unique but damn, this is still a very solid album on its core. great production, great work from everyone featured, lots of variety while still being cohesive and it's easily his darker, more mature album to date. it's not instant classic shit like chronic and 2001 but still a damn good project. if you like it, you like it..
DihStyle69 that's what I'm saying. I'm a big big big fan of Dre. I was so happy to get a Dre project after 16 fucking years. So I didn't really payed any attention to the things that are "wrong" with this project. It's a very very dope project in my opinion is a classic but it doesn't top the two Chronics. I'm a reasonable fan if someone says there's is something missing from this Dre album. I'm going to give it another listen, not like a fan but like a critic. BUT AS ALWAYS I STILL THINK THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
You guys should really do surf, I know there's a lot of projects coming up that you guys most likely will review. I just think Surf is definitely worth taking time to review.
DaWaffle Detox just got way too hyped man. Sucks. Dre couldn't handle the pressure. But like Myke said, it could still be released, but idk what it could be like to be what everybody wants.
This is the first time in years I've completely disagreed with Myke's opinion. Love this album. My favorite of the year probably. This album to me makes Dre sound young and refreshed in this new era of hip hop. It makes him fit in so smoothly with the sound of today's new west coast rappers like the guys of TDE, YG, Odd Future, Vince Staples, etc.
To add to what Ken said durin his part of the review: the way Dre is vs the way a lot of rappers now is astonishing. Quality over quantity and I respect Dre for that. Not releasing Detox just shows how great of an artist he is that he only wants the highest quality work, where as artists like Lil Wayne just seem to drop shit for the sake of dropping music.
Razzle Dazzle Dre was in a bad spot too with Detox. So going with what he's inspired to do versus what he feels obligated to do makes a difference. Also, I think Dre realized that no matter what he puts out, people would not be happy.
Question for Myke: Is it really reasonable to expect Dre to release another game changing album? The guy changed the sound of hip hop 3 times, isn't expecting him to do it again, especially a decade and a half after his prime, setting the bar a little too high? Personally, I came in expecting a fantastically produced album with great rapping, and I came out pleased. I do agree with you thought that Dre's rapping felt a bit inconsequential, I can't think of one track on here where Dre has the standout verse or even the standout delivery.
bangsjamin It's completely Dre's fault for being a genius. You're absolutely right on the way he changed the sound of hip hop three times and Compton is a tight album. On the other hand I was expecting something more experimental from him. Same goes to Martin Scorcese: Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas all changed the way people perceived movies (critics as well) and by no means movies like Shutter Island or The wolf of wall street are bad movies, they're not just the game changers his first flicks were.
Nite Waander Dre is 50, Scorsese is 72. Quentin Tarantino recently said he's going to stop making movies soon because he "doesn't want to make old man films." They have money, fame, and have accomplished more than most ever will. Despite their genius, where does the drive or motivation come from when you've already done it all? Are they even that hungry to want to change the game again? At some point, it's time to hang it up and let the next generation take it over.
bangsjamin Yes. I definitely think it's reasonable to expect someone who has given us two game changing classics to come back with a project that, at least, bumps a lot of other projects out of the game for a minute. That didn't even remotely happen here. He just dropped a cool rap album. I'm not finna sit here and give it passes just because it's Dre. The album was OK. That's all I'm going to give it. Let's not forget that I repeatedly said that I didn't think it was bad. I just think it could have been better and definitely more experimental. Being content with this shit is like being cool that an award winning chef served you a fucking Whopper. It's still good but definitely nothing special.
I bet it's a burden on Myke to continuously have to restate an opinion over, and over again lol. It's clearly just constructive criticism. Myke knows what Dre can do, and just knows he can do better. I concur. The album probably wont be played again front to back. I might only play a couple of tracks from it.
Chronic - 9/10 2001 - 9.5/10 Compton - 8/10 Myke, come on, Dre don't have to kill the rap game every time he put out a new project. All your criticims is basically "I want more" with no constructive points whatsoever. That's bias at it's finest. You spoiled by his last 2 albums man, never enough...
I agree with Myke Dre's voice sounded wack on this. I don't get how he didn't mention Eminem's ILL verse on Medicine Man. That was one of his better verses of the last decade imo
Talking to my Diary hands down, issues had a little old school c-walk tune to it, talk about it has dres music in another direction, too bad mc ren and warren g werent on the album
This is classic to me. Too much music is made to compliment a weed high or being drunk at the club but this shit is for being at the gym or bumping in the whip 🔥
I don't care what anyone says, I love the hell out of this album. It's certainly one of the best ones this year. The production is dope, lot of the tracks bang hard, like really, really, hard. The features are tight as f***, every one brings their A game. The tracks are really cinematic, they have an array of emotions, they casts different atmospheres, it truly feels like it's made for a movie. I mean what else do you want from a Dre album? "Darkside/Gone" feels villainous, almost ghastly, and the second half gets more intense with those piano keys and Kendrick's verse. "Deep Water" feels scary, how the tracks depicts Compton to a deep body of water is brilliant. The drowning is haunting, the verses drive the point more, it's a neat metaphor. "Animals" is soulful, Anderson really shines with his melodic verse, and his singing on the hook is pleasant, the message really is compelling. I can really go on, I really dig a lot of it.
I still want Detox to come out. An album that has been in the making for about 10-15 years or so. It would be like a hip-hop time capsule so to speak. "The Chronicle"...yo Dre I just gave you a new album title that fits with the whole "chronic" scheme. Give me money please. I need to pay these student loans.
I don't think this should be his grand finale. I completely agree with Myke I had no clue Dre was rapping on most tracks until I looked up the lyrics. It's a good album, but it's an okay Dr. Dre. When he dropped this I was expecting a game changer and this wasn't it. He should drop one more album and change the game one last time. He ain't go out busting if this was it.
myke was on point about how i feel about this album.he conformed to today's rap/hip hop instead of creating a new standard in the current trends of it like a lot of us have to come to expect from him, if anyone has the talent & the influence to do that it's Dre so this album is very meh to me.
Animals is easily my favorite on the album. The two greatest producers of all time, from each coast, working together...Something that hip hop heads only dream of. Besides Dre the star of this album was Paak. Some of the best hooks I've ever heard.
Yeah, as a younger fan, I actually really enjoyed this album. In fact, it was one of my favorite albums of 2015. Really underrated. I actually enjoyed the more introspective side of him than the gangster shit.
Great review of a great album! One thing I think a lot of ppl have overlooked is in the intro, Dre created his own "production studio theme". Back on Chronic 2001, he was sued by THX for using their iconic deep note. Seems like he threw up a big "fuck you" to THX by including this type of intro on Compton
appreciate Dre putting on the young guns especially since he signed them but thought he shoulda had an album with OGs: Snoop, Cube, Xzibit, Em, like he did. and not just Kendrick but the whole TDE camp, plus YG, Nipsey, DJ Mustard, Dom Kennedy
First of I want to say you guys are all so dope and different and fit so well together you guys are the best representations of true Hip Hop. I'm a huge fan
Dre is like the gatekeeper of heaven in hip hop. If you can impress him then you're golden (unless of course he suddenly decides to drop you from Aftermath).
Y'all should review Boogie's The Reach mixtape. That was honestly one of the best projects to come out this year, mixtape or album. He got a deal with interscope and bout to get signed off of that and Thirst 48 which was also dope.
I really disagree with Myke, I do think this project has that grit to it. Genocide, Darkside/Gone, Loose Canons, Issues, Deep Water, One Shot One Kill, Medicine Man, all have a sense of grittiness to them. Especially Deep Water, that track is scary af. King Mez did write the majority of the verses, but Dre was there throughout the whole process giving input. The verse do encapsulate where Dre is at now. When he rhymes I do think "yeah, that is something Dre would say".
I respect that Dre didn't take the Jigga route with this album! He very easily could have made an album about how many multi-million dollars he makes, how many Picasso's, Warhol's, or Basquiat paintings he owns, board meetings at Apple; instead he used this project to talk about the place he's from, social issues like police brutality, and his history!
2001 > The Chronic > Compton 2001 is just spectacular to me. So fun and innovative and exciting and blahblah I love it. The Chronic is a fantastic project too, it just doesn't hit me consistently and in such various ways like 2001, but I still love it. I actually loved Compton as well, but it's just clearly not up to snuff with his first two for reasons that Myke on this vid clearly details.
My favorite song is Loose Cannons. The horns at the beginning was dope, Xzibit's verse was straight fire, and the skit at the end felt so real, like I was there watching it happen.
I'm with Feefo on this. I didn't grow up on N.W.A, but _Compton_ is an awesome reflection on the city and time that Dr. Dre grew up in and companion to Straight Outta Compton. It has pretty of great songs and features.
This felt like a compilation album to me. It really felt like Dre just got a bunch of artists together and put a bunch of dope tracks on an album. It didn't really feel like he had a theme or much of an arc or anything. That being said, I liked the album. It was pretty good.
i don't usually disagree with C town but Idk if we listened to the same album. Production was amazing and it def doesnt sound like every other hiphop album out. Dre was trying something different and it worked imo. It still has that "classic" dre feel with all the features and shit. just a new sound
I can see where Myke is coming from with the production of this album. It really is different from his other two albums. The chronic and 2001 are classic albums that will always be his best work, but I feel that they have a sense of nostalgia when it comes to it. Its production is different because it's suppose to be a more modern sound. While older guys like them who were around when the chronic and 2001 were originally released found those beats to be amazing same go for the younger audience including myself. I wasn't around for those first two albums I was born in 92 so I wasn't really into hip hop till I was a teenager and that's when I heard those two amazing albums. While it's not better then his old work it's a pretty good album cause to me this is the west coast sound I know and most recently hear a lot for young west coast artist now. Just my two cents on it.
I reaply liked this project, since I didn't really know what to expect. Also loved the passion in this review, the content lately have been flames, please keep it up! Almost reaching that 100k (though you still deserve more) :]
Loving all the new content, appreciate you guys putting in the work to give us more. I know you won't review it, but I would like to know what Feefo thinks of the new Weeknd album as I know he's a fan.
DeadEndHipHop >>> Theneedledrop when it comes to hip hop album reviews. Good to hear different perspectives and views on one review. And I think Eminem had the best verse on the album on Medicine Man.
With Dre's flow on this. I thought he was going to be like this from hearing him on Kendrick's Woman Weed and Weather (I forgot the actual title, but that's from the hook).
+Johnny Athey that and alot more hip hop esque movies too juice above the rim house party 1 , 2 etc. we would die halfway through them reviewing class act or the house party movies, lol
My take toward the album is more in line with Myke. I tried to deny feeling like that at first, because this is Dre, bruh! Dr. Dre ain't dropped shit since I was a sophomore in high school!! But yea maan...this shit is dope, but not Dr. Dre dope. The production lives up to his name, but l couldn't help feeling like this sounds like a dope ass compilation.
Dr. Dre is like a great director - he gets incredible performances out of the features and makes a strong, cohesive album. I anticipate that I'll be listening to this for a while.
Album Was Meh..Dre Could've Done A Lot Better. He Named The Album Compton But It Didn't Sound Like A West Coast Album Just Beats With West Coast Artist On It And Wtf Wasn't MC Ren On This Album? He Could've Talked Or Something Damn.
I still rather jam The Chronic & The Chronic 2001 albums, over this one, this soundtrack does not bump in my whip. I tried, but I felt like Dr.Dre's sound was missing from this project, and I just couldnt get with it. The only 2 tracks on this project that I liked was the intro and the 2nd track....that was it for me. Whenever Dre drops an album he's always been able to give you that top notch "California" production including the content, like im surprised certain heads weren't on this album, like Kurupt, nipsey hussle,YG,etc. I woulda thought it would have had more of a Cali Allstar line up.
I thought this was a great project from beginning to end, with the great production and great features. Id give it a solid 8, maybe 9. However i agree with Myke that i felt Dre should have gone more gritty, West Coast sound of the 90s. I also hope that this isnt his last project cuz i felt that this was his concept album, or maturity album to help movie n to show he still got it, but i would like him to release one more that sounds jus pure West Coast like Dre know how to do. Overall tho, this is a very good project n hope to continue to see Dre in music business. Good review DEHH.
You I know that you guys take your work and this channel very seriously. But I honestly think it would be hilarious if you guys reviewed The New CALassic. I'm sure that everybody would love that. Good work guys
i feel like its hard in today's society to differientiate your sound from others as a producer because everybody is using the same vst presets, not digging for they own drum breaks and hits, and making 5-10 minute trap beats. I feel that sometimes limiting yourself with what you have and just working with all you have and tweaking it to something no one heard before will make you stand out against the others
Gosh this album really grew on me. First few days, I really couldn't get into it. It was not what I expected from Dre- it didn't feel right. Then a few days later was walking home late at night, gave it another try and everything just clicked. I recommend people give it time and don't expect it to be like 2001 or Chronic. You have to be in a certain mood to feel it.
I give it a 3 out of 5... I just want that Natural Born Killaz album Dre and Cube said they was going to do back in the day. A Amerikkka's Most and Death Certificate Ice Cube with a Dre that's coming with heat on today's topics like Cube was back then. OMG It would be a dream come true. They might lose some white friends but shit the Ice Cube that was down with The Nation was the deal
Dre has always been an executive producer more than just a producer for beats. If you look at the two Chronic albums, both are compilations featuring Dre rapping really.
Dr Dre's shit bumping in the whip since the 1980s. Mike and Feefo arguing since the 1970s

Pay To See Username That was the best description I've read about these guys xD
Give Myke 10 minutes and he could make you hate your favorite album. He should make a Cinema Sins spinoff channel called 'Musical Sins' 😂
He's a true "critic".
yeah man I was like yeah what's Mykes ass gonna say about this shit cuz this shit dope AF. but he eventually changed my mind. I mean after hearing two fucking Chronics it's almost impossible to get satisfied. I also pray for another Dre product. some Chronic 3 or detox shit
The guy who makes Cinema Sins also made a Music Sins channel lmao except he critiques a song's music video
Kingsman™ damn you let people change your thoughts on something very easily. it almost seems like you don't know what you like or dislike based on your own thoughts.. i think he's definitely some very good points like dre doesn't sounding unique but damn, this is still a very solid album on its core. great production, great work from everyone featured, lots of variety while still being cohesive and it's easily his darker, more mature album to date. it's not instant classic shit like chronic and 2001 but still a damn good project. if you like it, you like it..
DihStyle69 that's what I'm saying. I'm a big big big fan of Dre. I was so happy to get a Dre project after 16 fucking years.

Crazy how Dr. Dre worst album is still better than some artists best albums
Dre's best decision was to not release Detox judging by the polarizing opinions on this album. Detox wouldn't have stood a chance!
You guys should really do surf, I know there's a lot of projects coming up that you guys most likely will review. I just think Surf is definitely worth taking time to review.
Kennith Inge you guys gonna do any classic reviews again? personally i'd really like to hear slim shady lp, any project by outkast, and madvilliany

Agreed

Brian Markley i never really liked kendrick that verse goes hard though

Eminem absolutely murdered that beat.
It gives me chills everytime man
MrNifty me too!
He fucking molested that beat. I still listen to that verse with stink face.
All the features killed it from Eminem to Snoop Kendrick, Cube, Xzibit
This is the first time in years I've completely disagreed with Myke's opinion. Love this album. My favorite of the year probably. This album to me makes Dre sound young and refreshed in this new era of hip hop.

+taigawoods Compton is 6/10. Qay worse than his first two albums. Doesn't even sound like Dre.

I agree with Myke Dre's voice sounded wack on this. I don't get how he didn't mention Eminem's ILL verse on Medicine Man. That was one of his better verses of the last decade imo
I’ve been very disappointed with them always overlooking Eminem can’t lie 😅
This album is like American Gangster for Jay Z. It's not a soundtrack to tha movie but tha movie inspired tha album
Talking to my Diary hands down, issues had a little old school c-walk tune to it, talk about it has dres music in another direction, too bad mc ren and warren g werent on the album

HeathenDeluxe let a man do what he wants with his hair let him live lol
HeathenDeluxe Maybe he just wanted to cut his hair and rock a different style? In all honesty though, who cares. xD
Dre is like the gatekeeper of heaven in hip hop. If you can impress him then you're golden (unless of course he suddenly decides to drop you from Aftermath).
Yaowa!
Y'all should review Boogie's The Reach mixtape. That was honestly one of the best projects to come out this year, mixtape or album. He got a deal with interscope and bout to get signed off of that and Thirst 48 which was also dope.
the second best album of 2015 and of course Kendrick Lamar album is the first best!
nah tetsuo and youth>>
+Manuel L nah,
+young hefe ya
be careful, Lupe stans are watching
+Manuel L nah lol
I really disagree with Myke, I do think this project has that grit to it. Genocide, Darkside/Gone, Loose Canons, Issues, Deep Water, One Shot One Kill, Medicine Man, all have a sense of grittiness to them. Especially Deep Water, that track is scary af.
King Mez did write the majority of the verses, but Dre was there throughout the whole process giving input. The verse do encapsulate where Dre is at now. When he rhymes I do think "yeah, that is something Dre would say".
Also, Anderson .Paak is from the Hellfyre Club clique, is Myke really not familiar with him?
My favorite hip hop album released since good kid maad city
dre is like a master in a orchestra he just leads the person and make them shine and sound nice thats it and thats why i love his music
2020 and people still getting chocked out saying I breathe smh it’s crazy
If you don't like this album your not a hip hop fan
Medicine man is the best song on the album easy
pussycafe69
Genocide and Talking To My Diary is better.
Genocide and Medicine Man. Talking to my diary is a little bit corny to me.
I respect that Dre didn't take the Jigga route with this album! He very easily could have made an album about how many multi-million dollars he makes, how many Picasso's, Warhol's, or Basquiat paintings he owns, board meetings at Apple; instead he used this project to talk about the place he's from, social issues like police brutality, and his history!
You guys are awesome, man.
I just listen for the convo, not even necessarily for the review every time.
Compton isnt the soundtrack for Straight Outta Compton
***** it's the film score not the soundtrack
DreDaDon__
It's exactly opposite.
The only song that was in the film was just another day
its inspired by the movie its not in the movie except a couple quick snippets
Thatguytee
That's exactly what Feefo said.
I basically agree with Mike on this. The album was just ok for me.
It's a good old fashion Dead End Hip Hop video, a real discourse this time. Great video guys!
2001 > The Chronic > Compton
2001 is just spectacular to me. So fun and innovative and exciting and blahblah I love it. The Chronic is a fantastic project too, it just doesn't hit me consistently and in such various ways like 2001, but I still love it. I actually loved Compton as well, but it's just clearly not up to snuff with his first two for reasons that Myke on this vid clearly details.
Xxplosive is one of the best beats of all time .
Sedrick Exactly.
That beat drop on Next Episode be havin me crip walkin, throwing up signs n shit. I can on all day that whole album bangs. *****
+Sedrick agreed 2001 was his peak i still remember when i first heard still dre as a kid , that instrumental was perfection at its finest
This why I rock with C Town so much, I agree, and I was hoping somebody would bring it up. Still a good album but I felt the same way
I love how ya'll really clawed into this album in this discussion, more of this please !
My favorite song is Loose Cannons. The horns at the beginning was dope, Xzibit's verse was straight fire, and the skit at the end felt so real, like I was there watching it happen.
I agree with Myke that it didn't sound like Dre on a lot of the tracks but I enjoyed the new delivery and flow he presented on this project.
This is the curse of greatness. I felt the same way about Compton as Myke did.
I'm with Feefo on this. I didn't grow up on N.W.A, but _Compton_ is an awesome reflection on the city and time that Dr. Dre grew up in and companion to Straight Outta Compton. It has pretty of great songs and features.
This felt like a compilation album to me. It really felt like Dre just got a bunch of artists together and put a bunch of dope tracks on an album. It didn't really feel like he had a theme or much of an arc or anything. That being said, I liked the album. It was pretty good.
17:15 the second part of darkside/gone WAS actually produced by dre though? after the eazy e interlude? is that what he meant? correct me if im wrong
Waiting on that Wave[s] review tho
"Brush you teeth after the wake and bake Drink more water, watch your fake intake"
***** it's dope af
honestly I felt let down by it
Waiting on that cal mixtape review
👀👀👀👀
i don't usually disagree with C town but Idk if we listened to the same album. Production was amazing and it def doesnt sound like every other hiphop album out. Dre was trying something different and it worked imo. It still has that "classic" dre feel with all the features and shit. just a new sound
With this review up you guys most likely will get that 100k subscribers tomorrow! congrats homies you earned it
damn Myke will find the worst in every rap album...EVER...but he loved The Weekends Album and saw no flaws. ....that kills me every time lol
No weeknd album is better than this
Genocide was a dope song.
Probably my favorite song off the album besides Talking To My Diary.
I can see where Myke is coming from with the production of this album. It really is different from his other two albums. The chronic and 2001 are classic albums that will always be his best work, but I feel that they have a sense of nostalgia when it comes to it. Its production is different because it's suppose to be a more modern sound. While older guys like them who were around when the chronic and 2001 were originally released found those beats to be amazing same go for the younger audience including myself. I wasn't around for those first two albums I was born in 92 so I wasn't really into hip hop till I was a teenager and that's when I heard those two amazing albums. While it's not better then his old work it's a pretty good album cause to me this is the west coast sound I know and most recently hear a lot for young west coast artist now. Just my two cents on it.
I reaply liked this project, since I didn't really know what to expect. Also loved the passion in this review, the content lately have been flames, please keep it up! Almost reaching that 100k (though you still deserve more) :]
I wonder if Dre used a new mic for his vocals, or maybe did something different in the mix, can make a huge difference
This whole album is ear candy. I love it!
Loving all the new content, appreciate you guys putting in the work to give us more. I know you won't review it, but I would like to know what Feefo thinks of the new Weeknd album as I know he's a fan.
DeadEndHipHop >>> Theneedledrop
when it comes to hip hop album reviews. Good to hear different perspectives and views on one review. And I think Eminem had the best verse on the album on Medicine Man.
can anyone help guys, Whats the name of the track playing in the background 0:22 ?
My question to Myke would be: what sounds like this album?
Feel free to answer yourselves if you can think of some examples
With Dre's flow on this. I thought he was going to be like this from hearing him on Kendrick's Woman Weed and Weather (I forgot the actual title, but that's from the hook).
This got me super excited to hear the album !!
Straight Outta Compton, first DEHH movie review?
Johnny Athey We did Tribe too.
Kennith Inge yeah? I gotta find that one
ezwar99 Just type A Tribe Called Quest and Dead End Hip Hop in the RUclips Search. It should come up.
ezwar99 No problem.
+Johnny Athey
that and alot more hip hop esque movies too
juice
above the rim
house party 1 , 2 etc.
we would die halfway through them reviewing class act or the house party movies, lol
My take toward the album is more in line with Myke. I tried to deny feeling like that at first, because this is Dre, bruh! Dr. Dre ain't dropped shit since I was a sophomore in high school!!
But yea maan...this shit is dope, but not Dr. Dre dope. The production lives up to his name, but l couldn't help feeling like this sounds like a dope ass compilation.
Dr. Dre is like a great director - he gets incredible performances out of the features and makes a strong, cohesive album. I anticipate that I'll be listening to this for a while.
On 2001 he also had scott storch on the keys to help maybe that was a other issue
Love the reviews guys, hella respect
This is my 2nd favorite album of the year behind Sadistik's Phantom Limbs EP
This is my favourite Hip Hop album of 2015.
Album Was Meh..Dre Could've Done A Lot Better. He Named The Album Compton But It Didn't Sound Like A West Coast Album Just Beats With West Coast Artist On It And Wtf Wasn't MC Ren On This Album? He Could've Talked Or Something Damn.
I still rather jam The Chronic & The Chronic 2001 albums, over this one, this soundtrack does not bump in my whip. I tried, but I felt like Dr.Dre's sound was missing from this project, and I just couldnt get with it. The only 2 tracks on this project that I liked was the intro and the 2nd track....that was it for me. Whenever Dre drops an album he's always been able to give you that top notch "California" production including the content, like im surprised certain heads weren't on this album, like Kurupt, nipsey hussle,YG,etc. I woulda thought it would have had more of a Cali Allstar line up.
I thought this was a great project from beginning to end, with the great production and great features. Id give it a solid 8, maybe 9. However i agree with Myke that i felt Dre should have gone more gritty, West Coast sound of the 90s. I also hope that this isnt his last project cuz i felt that this was his concept album, or maturity album to help movie n to show he still got it, but i would like him to release one more that sounds jus pure West Coast like Dre know how to do. Overall tho, this is a very good project n hope to continue to see Dre in music business. Good review DEHH.
You I know that you guys take your work and this channel very seriously. But I honestly think it would be hilarious if you guys reviewed The New CALassic. I'm sure that everybody would love that. Good work guys
i feel like its hard in today's society to differientiate your sound from others as a producer because everybody is using the same vst presets, not digging for they own drum breaks and hits, and making 5-10 minute trap beats. I feel that sometimes limiting yourself with what you have and just working with all you have and tweaking it to something no one heard before will make you stand out against the others
Gosh this album really grew on me. First few days, I really couldn't get into it. It was not what I expected from Dre- it didn't feel right. Then a few days later was walking home late at night, gave it another try and everything just clicked. I recommend people give it time and don't expect it to be like 2001 or Chronic. You have to be in a certain mood to feel it.
We got detox in the early to mid 2000s, it was just scattered throughout other people’s albums such as the game, Eminem and 50 cent
I give it a 3 out of 5... I just want that Natural Born Killaz album Dre and Cube said they was going to do back in the day. A Amerikkka's Most and Death Certificate Ice Cube with a Dre that's coming with heat on today's topics like Cube was back then. OMG It would be a dream come true. They might lose some white friends but shit the Ice Cube that was down with The Nation was the deal
Dre has always been an executive producer more than just a producer for beats. If you look at the two Chronic albums, both are compilations featuring Dre rapping really.
