These people are dumb.

If it was just a soundtrack then it would of been like a N.W.A. Greatest hits album
Some people just didn't give it a chance cuz dudes on here were talking shyt. I admit on first listen I was a little like nah...but you can't skim through this project cuz dre took a different approach. The song structure and concepts require some multiple listens. Not saying it's deep but it plays out like a movie.

I thought that shyt was aight but he should've only had west coast artists on it. He could've made it some all-star shyt.

How you got an album called Compton, with no Quik or Eiht? :dahell:

And before someone says "but those are old artists, it wouldn't sell"....#1 it didn't sell very well regardless and #2 he had a song with Xzibit and Cold 187um.

That was my main gripe too. But he still managed to release a dope concept and got new life out of snoop and cube. Kendrick sounded great on this shyt. Jon Connor spit some fire. I can look past the should've done and appreciate straight up dope hip hop. All this future, young thug, drake shyt is so redundant. This was a breath of fresh air.

Dre ruined it trying to be something he's not (again)

I'm not trying to hear shyt like this:

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)

From someone that has never written and who had already been exposed as a studio gangsta 20 years ago:bryan:

nah, that's why he released it as a soundtrack

that was done for strategic purposes probably

that Dr.Dre brand is super strong now and if he would've released it as a official Dr.Dre album,

and if that would've flopped, that could've put a dent in his brand

that's why he probably dropped it as a soundtrack.....smart move

I personally didn't like the album either....except for that Talk About It joint

What ruined the album was Dre trying to rap like these new cats. He didn't sound like himself.

He should have just got the old teamm together. DOC, Snoop, Kurrupt, hell go find Hittman.

If he went and did that, people would've still had issue with the album. They would've said he was out of touch blah blah blah. F that, I like the album we got. Let him cook.
