just a lot of yes men, no one is ever gonna be objective with Dre.
I can not believe how much bullshyt that Dr Dre Snoop album last year was ...
- Thread starter L $ C
- Start date
album reminds me of compton. most of us wanted it to work. and it does, in spots. but dre has been trying to find a new sound for a MINUTE. if we're being real. i honestly think that's the problem. he changed hip hop. three, four, five... six times over? and he's trying to change it again. so far, none of that shyt is hitting in a way that will match the impact a "produced by dr. dre" record used to create.
it's fine. dre is hip hop's goat producer, regardless. i will ALWAYS check for "dr. dre on the boards". but if he's gonna keep taking swings, he needs to spend more time in the batting cage. find a better balance between what he wants to hear, and a sound that works for 2025. and i say that because every great has had to make that compromise. nas with hitboy. kanye from "life of pablo" on... rakim post-eric b. shyt, madlib has made a career out of saving nikkas from themselves.
or... just be content in being the goat. which wouldnt be the most awful compromise in the world.

What’s surprising about it lol. Two creatively bankrupt legends: one who will do anything for money, and another whose interest in music solely revolves around masturbatory studio perfection mixed with safe bullshyt to protect his legacy.
I know it will never happen, but I wish Dre would just link up with Daz again.
Snoop having the Death Row brand is an open goal for it.
They’ve already broken the back of having a Death Row x Aftermath project in Missionary.
Dre Is too boardroom and Daz too backstreets for that though.
Was there even a single reason they fell out?

It was what I expected from an album made by a 53-year-old man and a 60-year-old man.

It was a terrible album, and the only thing that made it worse was that Snoop quickly followed that up with a solid album, probably a 7.5/10, which lets you know that the biggest problem of ‘Missionary’ was Dr. Dre.
What about Nas? Slick Rick? Ghostface? All these dudes can make great albums to this day.

Ghostface latest album wasn't any good either
boy you must be on dust.....Compton is Illmatic compared to this weedplateCompton was worse though
The people around Dr Dre probably let him perform actual surgeries on them.
