Dr Dre Compton is a forgettable ass album
- Thread starter the cool
- Start date
yeah, i don't care for it at all.
crazy that it's a Dre album and there is not one undeniable song on that album..couple of good songs but there isn't one you point to and go
Premo joint was the one i played the most.
the album putting me onto Anderson Paak is the best thing i took from it.
album was Dre's equivalent of a modern day U2 album or something like that.

pretty much what I came here to say. I still bump the album. shame they didn't release any music videos though.
I get that people call it "artsy" or whatever if compared to other Dre albums, but to me the same label dropped a really "artsy" album in TPAB before it, so Compton was a lot more 'traditional' when compared to KDot's effort.

Not really surprised,Dre has a name and it was supported by the movie's publicity

How many of y'all that like this album but don't like Kendrick?

Artsy probably isn't the best word to use but it got my point across.
Kendrick is the style of artist to put out a Compton and TPAB. Dr Dre not so much. He is a catchy, westcoast gangsta rap, single generating powerhouse.
It went from 'fukk The Police' to a thesis on how police brutality harms the community.
Musically the album was done well, well thought out. I do see why people were let down by it based on expectations and assumptions it was Chronic 2015.
agreed. and the "Chronic 3" type of album could've been done properly (imo) if he had just dropped Detox back in the mid2000s with 50, Game & bunch of other west coast artists.

nikkas keep making excuse "if it's not classic,it's wack" "it's not another chronic so bla bla bla"
That's not the problem,it just has poor replay value and is 95% filler music.
Nothing's memorable bout the beats,the performances by the artists on their verses,or the hooks. It's flat and weak.
Only that stands out is the mixing,but dre's records have been greatly mixed for 30 years,so that's not enough for me to be impressed.
