Not as bad as ppl make it out to be
had some good songs, but no where near classic...and Dre lost his voice, he sounded off on the majority of the tracks
Wack. And was really just and Anderson paak album, which I was tricked into listening to. Haven’t liked Anderson since

Compton is the aftermath is now a premier emo meets neo soul legacy album.
Which imo, is more a byproduct of explosive meets snoop's ffinity to use high Tec. Making Midwest beat juggle and chop style records into.
what would become the west coast interpolated idea of the new gangsta rap introspective beat model. That at this time is basically the sonic template for all of rnb, neo soul and black music now.
I would never say it was a classic and it did not age well.
When, I intially reviewed compton during the actual review.
Which I believe I did in real time too.
If is chockfull of nuffin but at best.
gunit three syllable rhymes meets Eminem parrotted rhyme skills at best.
I would say it is for people who want to go back like baseball cards and hear the early entries.
of the guys they would come to pr as the potential new wave top draws of rap from interscope.
Past that, and sonic audophile stuck up-ness it offers nuffin to the listener to be honest. Except a gateway rehash of aftermath.
from the neo soul instrumental lift of explosive to Eminem. Back to co-opted west coast shop style acts. who really imo not as good as the westcoast shop acts are/were.
Meets the same type of talent. Largely,outside of eve.
that went unnoticed on the original aftermath compilation with been there done that.
Compton is more of what would have happened if dre would have been culturally endorsed. Instead of originally being done , cultural before Eminem saved him after the original aftermath low quality compilation.
The best thing Compton can be used for is a reference for mixing.
Coupled with being a snobbish audiophile about mixing in music to neo soul to rap of all things.

I love the album, but I know I'm in the minority on that and that's fine.
OP made a bait thread title and didnt even elaborate. Nobody was bumping it in the streets like that. Blue Carpet Treatment got way more love in the streets.
Paak on Animals and Game doing his best Kendrick impersonation are the only memorable moments for me.

Wouldn’t call it classic but it’s solid. It’s no Chronic or 2001 but it’s a dope modern album. He should’ve just went into his vault and gave fans the original “Detox” album but he is too insecure to do such a thing.

i honestly never listened to it 
It was cool. Not sure what people expect from a Dre solo, I liked it. About half of it still holds up nicely
It is kinda crazy how King Mez and Justus did NOTHING after this album, yet Paak is everywhere

im one of the minority that loved it. Yall just wanted the same dre of years past, this was refreshing and up to date. Especially the joint "Deep water" sh*t was creative af and the song "One Shot Kill" was the best i've heard snoop in years! loved that aggression!

The hook+beat on Animals, Deep Water, and maybe a couple other tracks are the only noteworthy parts of that album.
