LAAAAAWD, Kendrick's deep water verse

That boy special, we're witnessing an all time great

 

[TheGOAT]

Is The Chronic/2001/Compton the greatest trilogy in hip hop

Southernplayeristic/Atliens/Aquemini is the correct answer

The Dude/Just Tryn 2 Live/2 Tha Xtreme is the correct answer

I listened to Anderson Paak's new album Venice today and was kinda disappointed.

Dre really brings out the beast in everyone he works with

What kinda album is it?

 

[mosincredible]

The original beat for the chorus from the 2nd half of Darkside/Gone. This was posted on YouTube in February. You can hear the difference between the production that went into the album version vs the original creation. If you listen to the other beats on that playlist, Dre album would've sounded more like Dre had he used D.R.U.G.S. for more of the album. It may get taken down one day because he removed it from his soundcloud and a poster in the YouTube comments asked that it be taken down.

@Stew

I'd say its generic pop/rnb by todays standards. He got like 3 edm tracks on there which confused me, couple trap beats, it could easily be a c breezy album musically. He only uses that kendrick voice he uses on Compton on like 2 songs. This one is my shit though,


Been getting alot of play recently

Read an interview with him. He spoke about this track. You could tell the admiration he had for Dre and hearin' it now I can see why.

The beat from the first half of this song is fire also, but once Eazy's mini verse hits........this song becomes a classic.

I can literally listen to it on repeat for an hour. It's that damn good.

Decent read.

Dope album, played it a lot since it dropped. Intro and 1st track are tough so is Talking to My Diary. Good intros and outros on this album.

Other favorites are Genocide, Deep Water, It's All on Me.

^^^me the moment I realized Animals is as good as you would hope a DJ Premier and Dr. Dre collaboration would be. That one is something special.

Despite all the ghostwriters, not a lot of memorable lyrics or quotables like Chronic and 2001. And I actually don't like how Dre sounds rapping Kendrick ghost verses. It's too blatant and doesn't sound natural.

Dope album but there's a handful of skips IMO. No album of the year or classic. Actually basically Dres first album that isn't a classic

*ahem*

 

[blackamerica]

Still can't find this album smh

 

[okaay]

How's the album after the hype die down?

Still dope as hell to me. May skip a track or 2 but thats about it.

 

[rip.dilla]

Been playing it a lot this week and Dre kilt it production wise: especially the mastering and engineering

'Genocide', 'Satisfiction', 'For The Love Of Money' and to an extent 'Loose Cannons' are my favourites

 

[J.J._Evans]

I wonder why he hasn't dropped a video or released a radio single yet?.......Typically, that would have been done a month ago or at least right after the movie dropped.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Which song would you guys consider the single? All on Me or Genocide are the obvious choices with Satisfiction being the 2nd single

 

[IceBergTaylor]

This shit made me go back in the Detox vault where all those reference tracks dropped. With Topless, This is Detox, Shit Popped Off I can't believe he let those go to waste. Even Kush was hella dope.

I would say Genocide or Darkside/Gone.
