It's funny how dr dre's album Compton came and went

[Dr. Acula]

It was a mediocre album. Both him and Lamar dropped mediocre albums.

I knew that was going to happen. However, the media and individuals at the time of release like to big up them for a week or so before it fizzles out exponentially.

I got into arguments about this album and the lamar album with people who couldn't distinguish the fact that they were just excited they had new albums from whether the album was actually good or not.

First and second day I was telling them both these albums relative to their release times were lackluster and they weren't hearing it.

However, I didn't hear anyone bumping that shyt anymore or talking about it after about a week

From both albums, the only one track I still listen to now is King Kunta

This applies to most albums these days. No one really takes the time to appreciate and absorb an album, they listen to it once or twice, and move on to the next.
Sometimes have you let the album grow on you.

It dropped within a week's notice. There weren't singles or even promo like that outside of what he did with his radio show. You could argue that the Straight Outta Compton movie promoted, but it's not like the music on Compton had much to do with the biopic other than Dre and features from Cube, and shout outs/tributes to Eazy E, Ren, and Yella.

So no, it wasn't going to have the staying power of the Chronic classics especially in era where new music is only a click away. There's literally a thread about every big release "coming and going and having no impact".

Ehh this is true but it's also nowhere near as good as either chronic. Has zero standout moments,forgettable melodies in the beats and hooks,forgettable flows as well

Of course it's not better than either Chronic. Nothing he could ever create would compare. As far as it being forgettable, these threads about how forgettable it's supposed to be contradict that. "Forgettable" is the most overused and misused term to describe music on here instead of just giving an opinion.

Not that funny if you consider it was nothing more than a soundtrack slash marketing tool for Apple Music.

 

[infamousred]

I've still yet to listen to it. Then again you wouldn't believe the amount of threads I've bookmarked with albums that I plan on checking out and haven't gotten through one fourth of them yet. Far too much music gets released nowadays.

 

[I love Latina women]

it won't shyt, that's why it came and went

 

[NYC Warrior]

Good. This cross dressing, woman beating fakkit and the rest of these nikkas had their day and its over now. nikkas want it to go back to 1992 and feeling themselves because of that corny ass, overrated NWA flick.

Actually dre has produced a few albums amongst that chronic level,just not compton

 

[Kokoro]

Right Nobody is checking for that shyt just like TPABF West Coast stay losing and continue to be irrelevant

True

People these days only look for the shytty, walking stereotype, non lyrical south

Oh, and that Canadian guy

According to the credits, Dre only co-produced like 4-6 songs on Compton. The only albums that Dre's produced that are Chronic level were before the original Chronic. Doggystyle is the only other Dre produced album that's on par (I personally think it's better) with either Chronic album.

I think it's better too. And yes all the albums i consider amongst the chronic were before it also (cept doggysytle). Doggystyle,nikkaz4life,SOC,No can do it better. I'd give the chronic the nod over a couple of them,but they're still all greatness
