So......niggas are able, to say with a straight face "dr dre swan song lived up to his standard of excellence" hahnahhanahhanhahahahhah. Either I'm insane or im ahead of the curve. This shit was decent at best.

My nigga... Whats the problem? My only knock is there aint alot of substance subject matter wise but the lyrics are on par. All the featured rappers spit with resurgence and hunger and of course the beats bang... Its the Chronic 3 album without a weed song...

That nigga is a weirdo, that's the problem. Talking bout "we" got played LOL

Stew callin me a wierdo, imagine that.......

You not lyin on none of that, production is dope, and mixed down on the highest level. Lyrics is on par, dre sound like he was spirited and all that. It's just off. I'm out here lookin for an uncompromising west coast gangsta album. Dre's first two albums sounded like we was walkin through compton, so when I hear the album is called "compton", I wanna damn near go to the swap meet. This didn't give me that feeling, it's dope, but the soundscape is off, the environment is way off for the most part. This is slick for dre putting the stamp on his career which is exactly what he's doing. This is an album about Dr Dre, cool... But Dre's albums was about compton before. The perspective is different, which translates to the vibe bein off for me. It's a 8/10 for what it is, but I want big screen tvs, blunts, 40s, and bitches.. Game's song is the best example of what a nigga was lookin for, he painted that picture.

I feel the traditional (sterotypical) topics like being a gangsta, smokin weed, fucking bitches and dippin in the 64 on switches are missing simply because the nigga is in his 50s now... outside of KDot everbody on there is 35-40+ years old. Its a more mature album

Dre was around 35 when 2001 dropped. I don't have to listen to them because they've been ingrained in my brain... But go back and listen to the chronic, and 2001 back to back, then play this right after that. Just because you grow don't mean your core sound change. Most, if not all of the linchpins of a Dr Dre album aren't there sans crispy production, mature or not.

AOTY

Straight Outta Compton, OG Chronic , 2001, Doggystyle, All Eyes on Me, and COMPTON…all on the same level

DRE the greatest hiphop producer, not beat maker, but a real ass producer OF ALL TIME

HE THE MOTHERFUCKIN GOAT

 

[nex gin]

"this is dj motherfucking premier"

"and I'm dr dre"

bruh...is this real life?

Yep. One of the dopest songs on the album.

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

Of course the best track is the one produced by Preme and Dre

Thats a mismatch bruh... A nice mismatch

 

[HustleThaDon]

Y'all putting a lot on it....I'm about to give it a listen

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Are niggas gonna call this album overproduced like that kanye jawn?? Or cuz it's dr dre it's acceptable? dickriders

Only songs I like is talking to my diary and Darkside/Gone(best song on the album).The rest of the album sucks especially medicine man

 

[J.J._Evans]

Of course the best track is the one produced by Preme and Dre

Thats a mismatch bruh... A nice mismatch

When I first heard the song last night, I could literally hear both of their individual styles wrapped into one.

Like I said, the song is unbelievable.

 

[Mr_Vicodin81G]

Been waiting for this for 16 yrs. Was a sophomore in hs when chronic 2k1 came out

 

[GunTown]

@Lefty Stew goes extra extra extra hard for Dr Dre, Outkast, Nas, T.I. and Royce. This is something that will never ever stop it's just how dude is when it comes to these rappers he''ll go all out for them

 

[EmM HoLLa.]

[Brother_Five]

From my understanding, this is the movie soundtrack. Correct?

If so, shouldn't this album be compared to other soundtracks that he's produced.

Hell no it ain't a movie soundtrack. It's his "grand finale".

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

[VIBE]

The Queen should banish your ass to fucking Mars.

 

[BeardedFreak]

You can tell that every emcee came with thier best bars outta respect for DRE. No weak mailing it in feature verses On this album. And no 50 cent = automatic classic
