This is stupid on madd different levels, lol. The least obvious one being...he's been away from the game for what? 20 years? This is his grand return...he's one of our greats, who don't love Dre? All that considered, he sold 24k, lol, think about that. If he was a regular active artist and dropped, this joint woulda sold like 700 albums.

I accomplish so much while being transported to a different astral plane, yet grounded.

You personally.

Imagine that there was zero press.

I'm your cousin from out of town. I get in your car and Bluetooth my android to your sound system.

I start playing the album.

You're telling me you would allow me to continue, and you'd then go seek it out and play it yourself.

The actual material is not the draw. Listening to this album is a sacrifice, not a joy.

What's left? The fact that it's a beloved celebrity. Publicity. An interesting interview. The draw is the hype.. not the product.
Everything you said here is facts…What I’m saying is that 3 stacks put some thought behind all this from the concept of the album, names of the songs and who he wanted to do interviews with. This wasn’t some ol let me drop this album out the blue cause I have nothing better to do, you can even say he’s been building up this album for years with all the viral spottings of him playing his flute, people been intrigued. I gave it one listen and I’ll probably never listen again, but he got me too, wanted to see how nice he was with the flutes and if I’d be a fan of this genre of music because of him adding a hip hop flair or something…nah I’m good, but that doesn’t mean this album is bad, its not for me, flute community probably going HAM right now for all I know
