Dr. Dre- Compton- Official Album Discussion Thread (8/7/15)

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

Ol let me find a way to diss Em cause he's white and nicer than most of my fav rappers ass niggas lol

what if I told you...

that even eminem fans (like myself)...

just arent impressed with his music anymore?

or is that too difficult to comprehend?

this dude has been 2-15 this past year

putting up JR smith numbers

but the disses have to be because he's white right?

Why do you need to add some phantomatic fans to express your own opinion? Are you insecure?

I agree that he has lost a little bit if his rap GIGANTIC LEVEL. However he is still an ABOVE THE GAME rapper imo. Especially in this Young Thugg , Quann, Future, generic trap muzik Era.

You know you a superior artist when your enemy tweets this

Far from a classic. Sounds like everything else on the radio. Dre's name is the only thing making people care so much I'd wager. And a Compton "soundtrack" with such few Compton artist is bordering disrespectful.

But I love the album. After all these years it finally puts to rest and proves that Chad Butler was the better producer.

it sounds like everthing else on the radio? really? Pimp C is a better producer than Dre? is this life? I love the shit outta Pimp, UGK is my favorite duo of all time and he is one of my biggest influences in beatmaking/producing but that is just asinine.

I listened to his brothers new EP right after this. Warrens album clearly has a more west coast feel to it and it sounds like something Warren G would make. Though, it is weak. I don't feel that with this Dre album. Sounds like he tried to give his own version of what sound is popular today. Nothing stands out as a rap song except that John Connor track.

There's clearly a difference between this album and the alleged Dre tracks we've come across over the years. Which were all better than what we got here. I don't know what it going on with this new experimental stuff on this and that TPAB. A lot of it reminds me of electronica.

And yeah, Pimp is better. I can only guess that I'm biased and prefer a more traditional sound to music. He did that. But this latest direction rap music is taking with albums lately is out of my lane.

 

[GetoBoy]

I ain't stop listening to this shit since it dropped.... This is gonna go down as a classic and the easy pick for AOTY unless somebody drops something crazy in the next 4 months

Eminem is the worst part of this joint... he is out of place as fuck... trash

#1. He's not #2. He is a bit out of place.

Hes not screaming about "raping" anybody

No Kurupt

No Daz

No MC Ren

No D.O.C.

No Nate Dogg

No Chronic Songs

Niggas out here projecting their racial issues and police hatred to Eminem.

Eminem didnt shot or strangled any nigga

Eminem is not a kkk LEADER

Eminem is not a racist policeman

You can like or dislike his rap but can we please stop puting all the police brutality, all the racism on the shoulders of Eminem?

Im not even an Eminem fan like that but i thought he killed his feature. The slow build up he began his flow with was a nice bleed in too. I dont know what people problem is. I hate when people criticism dont be having nothing to do with the actual rap song in question type shit.

He fucked up with the tapes when he was young. It was slurrs against a woman if I recollet. It wasnt a KILL ALL NIGGAS LONG LIVE KKK type of shit.

Still he made niggas out of the hood, D12 and obie Trice.

Besides with that type of comments I guess you dont bump for example WHIP IT LIKE SLAVE, EMMETT TILL disrespecting LIL Wayne right?

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

If we have to ban rappers for spitting deragatory mysoginistic and detrimental to black people shit my rap catalogue would be quite empty.

This Kendrick 2nd or third best album. I'll decide after a few more spins.

The nigga only on/wrote for 3 songs. Unless you wanna count Game's track

 

[murdap]

Lil wayne that dude how many classics does wayne have? Birdman jr got atleast 5+ classic albums like nas.

Lil Wayne and Nas>>>>>Jay and Eminem

 

[natural born sinners]

That "animals" track though....damn preme and dre...im tryinta figure what it woulda sounded like w nas and kendrick as features at the end. Album is dope, only heard it twice but it seems like it will b liked more after a few more listens

I can cosign the bolded areas of his comment.

1st off i fucks with the album and it will most likely be album of the year. Im giving it the edge on to TPAB.

But there is a lot of electronic type shit in here. The opening track sounds like half filtered thru autotune or something. And the beats although they are great dont sound like Dres past albums which screamed west coast at you.

But i guess thats an artist evolving. He put out a great project and everyone had unresonable expectations. I would have prefered a sound closer to KUSH but that itself was how many years ago...

Album still bangs.

1st listen i was more in shock trying to absorb the new sound. I mean even Dre sounds different, bbut i guess that happens when you only hear someone rap every 10 years. The album grew on me more after 2nd, 3rd, & 4th listens

As of now tho... 2001 > Chronic > Compton

 

[nickel-us P]

Coulda done without all the singing tho imi

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

Just like Tetsuo and youth

To Pimp a butterfly

This album will be a little to too difficult to hear and feel for our junk, generic, one dimensional fast food Generation.

Animal imo is on the level of Still Dre. There is no leftovers and fillers in this album. There is so much lyrics to listen, so much music to feel that ist hard to give a Review after two listenings sessions.

After that album it will be sure that Future will Wait to have my dollars and attention.

 

[Fosheezy]

Still bumping. I find myself appreciating this album a bit more and more as the days past by and I listen to it more.

Nigga I never notice Marsha ambrosia vocals on Satisfiction got my hair standing on end

 

[Agrv2385]

after a few listens shits dope as fuck. niggas always complanin an artist doesnt do the same style anymore. an album is supposed to be a representation of what theyre experiencing in life at that time. The fact dre can do that and still sound fresh and innovative is dope. not feelin cannons or issues at all though. deep water is crazy THATS simiar to still dre to me. that street banger. talk about it too.

Fast food consummers can eat the same Cheeseburger for their all life. And they do the same with music.

 

[Stew]

Thought for sure Lupe would have AOTY till this came out. Tough break but still can't give an official rating till the cdq whip test.
