Dr. Dre's first #1 album after 30 years of being a superstar and moving mad units :mjlol:.

How did it brick it's moved like 400k+ and still moving it'll end up somewhere between 500k and a million, in 2015 I'd really like to know how that's a flop. Specially for a 50 year old artist. In comparison Madonna's album has done 600k world wide in 5 months.

DR. DRE LYRICS - Satisfiction

Yeah, I mean, I listen to these rap records
Half the time I'm suspicious
You nikkas sound so fictitious
Believe me I know the difference
I got some words for you nikkas
You're the definition of (Satisfiction)
Listen up, I been where you're going three times and plus
Big houses, cars, jewelry, bad bytches all around us
Motherfukker uh, I seen it all and guess what
It's the (Satisfiction) you feel me?

DR. DRE LYRICS - Deep Water

Motherfukker know I started from the bottom, vodka baby bottle
Wasn't thinking about no rapping, I was drinking for a dollar
Putting quarter pieces in the black Caprice and make it holla
No releasing me, I got the beast in me
I gotta holla, keep the decency and make them TNT my product
I'm a C-O-M-P-T-O-innovator, energizer
Inner-city bullet fly 'til that bytch on auto pilot (shyt)
I don't give a fukk about your whereabouts
All I care about is wearing out your area
And airing out your upper body
When I catch ya, walking out your parents house
(Don't get it fukked up)
Probably got fukked up tryna park his tour bus
Not knowing what's what
Or who's who, living in the L.A county zoo
Pick them off like a big dog, motherfukker, woof
Once upon a time, I shot a nikka on accident (boom, boom, boom)
I tried to kill him but I guess I needed more practicing (boom, boom, boom)
That's when I realized, banging wasn't for everybody
Switch it up before my enemy or the sheriff got me
They liable to bury him, they nominated six to carry him
They worry him to death, but he's no vegetarian
The beef is on his breath, inheriting the drama better than
A great white, nikka this is life in my aquarium
(Don't get it fukked up)

It bricked cuz it sucked. I don't care if it pushed 400k. That's purely off Dres name and the NWA movie hype. Just another forgettable album.

This Dre.. This like Nelly doing 100k after Country Grammer, it wasn't commercially succesful or critically acclaimed. Dre sells records,did so in the 90's, 2000's, he just slipped up and gave us a lukewarm album that he was feelin instead of something with an allstar cast.

Will wait for Art Barr to give some feedback on the specifics of this brick
