Compton is a good album, it’s just forgettable when compared to The Chronic & the highs of 2001.
It was definitely overshadowed by the fervor the movie was having at the time. If Dre released Detox (or something) in 2012 & used it as Kendrick’s introduction to the mainstream it would’ve made a much bigger splash.
Also, I don’t think Relapse is generally considered a bad album by most, but is by Eminem himself. He started the trope that his previous album sucked on Recovery and fans take his words as gospel.
Tbf though, MMLP2 is his only tolerable album since Relapse.
