I listened a couple years ago,feel the same.
It's one of the weakest projects Dre has ever produced. Though COMPTON probably has the WOAT title.
when dr. dre dropped "been there, done that" & then the aftermath album, what did u think?

Been there Done That is dope to me. It's like Dr Dres voice (always like his rapping voice) with Nas rhyme pattern and the beat is bangin.
Even that song East West Coast Killaz is dope.
I always wondered how KRS 1 felt about that part in the song sampled from MC Shan (KILL THAT NOISE) that dissed him.
I really didn't like the rest of that album though.knowing he was trying to go East and started that "Gangsta rap is dead" bullshyt made me give Dre the side eye.

Didn't he have Mel man at the time?
he wasn't alone and the beats weren't bad. the problem of the album was that it was a compilation and therefore all over the place.

Ya he was a nobody. I'm really starting to think how much dre really did because Aftermath and Compton are horrible. But his deathrow shyt is goat music and 2001 he had Scott Storch and whoever Eminem brought in. We all knew he never wrote but now I'm thinking he's more of a Puffy and not a Pete Rock

That Aftermath Compilation had a few dope songs but too much wack r&b bullshyt. If he wouldve gotten Snoop etc. to drop verses on here and produced all of it it wouldve been great. The songs dre did with the dope rappers on this project are amazing, but the tons of lame songs just drown it out.

This is a complete lie. Compton was pretty good but would have been much better had Ice Cube wrote Dre's stuff instead of Kendrick Lamar. Been There Done That and that album were a dumpster fire outside of maybe 3 songs.
Scott Storch was a session musician, not a producer. He played the keyboards on 2001, just like Soopafly played the keys on Dogg Food.
If you want Dr. Dre's Death Row team, look no further than The Chronic booklet. You can see who played the bass, drums, flute, keys, guitar, etc.

That's what I mean. I Never realized how many dudes Dre had around helping. I mean I coulda made ill beats with those dudes around.
I remember copping it from Tower Records. I thought the single was decent and a good transition given all the sheet that went down. The CD had no replay value and ended up broken in half with each side somewhere in my car 
Until Em came along Aftermath definitely wasn't poppin especially after the weak album.

Compton was wack as fukk and maybe the biggest dissappointment I've ever witnessed. Like you waited an eternity for dre to drop somethin, and then he finally announced "compton". I was hyped AS fukk, I mean with that title and it being inspired by the movie I was really expectin some real west coast shyt, that real "Dre sound" and another legendary album with anthems which would be instant classics. Instead we got this piece of shyt, there was no signature sound to be heard, it sounded like a bad mix of current trends & styles, and absolutely overproduced in general. So the production aspect was definetely wack as fukk. Same goes for the guests, his last 2 albums were defined by the great rappers he got to spit on his dope beats, and instead of rappers as dope as Snoop Doggy Dogg, Kurupt or Lady of Rage on The Chronic or Hittman, Snoop, Kurupt, Six Two (yes I'm leavin out wack ass eminem on purpose) we got Justus, King Mez or what the fukk they were called who brought absolutely NOTHING to the table. Even the OG's & Vets were a major dissappointment, like Snoop on "One Shot One Kill" with his Kendrick Lamar impersonation
And last but not least: Dre sounded so incredibly wack on the album like "Damn wtf", because he had his shytten written by dudes like King Mez or that atrocious Kendrick Lamar fakkit and used their voices & flows
Absolutely didnt match with dre and he sounded so corny on the album it really fukked me up.Only song I really bumped is "Talking To My Diary" which is an older song and doesnt sound like the rest of this mess.
Another indicator of how lackluster this album is, is also the fact that it literally had zero impact. Not like his other albums which produced instant anthems that had everyone bumpin them.
So for me that album really fukked up dres legacy....
