Johnny Drama Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Dre needs to make an album with Snoop. I think they'd be considered one of the greatest rap groups of all time if they were an official duo, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguyen92 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'll be really honest. This is better than I thought it would be, so far. Sure, I kinda wish the profanity would be lowered a bit, but that sure as hell not going to happen. The instrumental, itself, is not really annoying to hear and is quite pleasing to hear. The lyrics are pretty easy to hear and the depiction of it is pretty real and honest and easy to visualize. Yeah, it's solid enough for what it is going for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Just finished my first full listen. As I said earlier I came into this with lower expectations and was pretty happy with the result. Snoop and Em both gave their best verses in a long time as well. K-Dot killed it as always. Gotta listen to it some more tomorrow before I give more thoughts.

Silent Jay Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Dr Dre has announced he will donate royalties earned from 'Compton', the rapper-producer's first album in 16 years, to the funding of a new performing arts and entertainment facility in the city of Compton. Dre revealed the news earlier today (August 6) to Zane Lowe on the DJ's Beats 1 Radio shot."I feel it's the right thing to do and I hope everybody appreciates the work I put into this album," said Dre, revealing that he'll be working with Compton Mayor Aja Brown on the project. "We've reached out to Aja Brown quite a few times in the last month or two. I've been really trying to do something special for Compton and just couldn't quite figure out what it was. She actually had this idea and she was already in the process of working on it. I said, 'Boom, this is what we should do.'"Read more at http://www.nme.com/news/dr-dre/87410?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=drecompton#W10trEhTERsatRHZ.99& Thanks bacardimayne for the link.

IZZYISGNR Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Review at rollingstone.com: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/dr-dre-compton-20150806 "It's no Detox. It's something realer, and better." 4/5 stars One of hip-hop's all-time greats sums up his legacy on a brilliant, confounding album Who in the world has better ears than Andre Young? Throughout his many incarnations, the common thread in Dr. Dre's career has been his ability to hear things differently from everyone else, and his certitude that millions of paying customers will want to hear those things too. Paradoxically, he's been both prolific and patient: It doesn't seem like he's ever stopped working, and yet somehow 16 years have elapsed since his last solo LP. For much of that time, he's said, he was working on a solo record to follow up 1992's landmark The Chronic and 1999's lushly raucous 2001. The project — which grew increasingly mythical as time passed — consisted of a title, Detox, and little else. Now, with scant warning, Dre's solo return is upon us, with the twist that it isn't Detox at all. Maybe it's marketing: How could anything meet the wild expectations tied to that name? Or maybe the dream of Detox paralyzed Dre, and the only way to free himself was to set his sights elsewhere. So he set them on his past. Compton is a companion piece to the new N.W.A biopic, and the album's backward gaze is evident from the intro, where narration from an old TV documentary describes how Dre's California hometown went from black-middle-class idyll to a crime-ravaged "extension of the inner city." Dre reminisces over past indignities ("Face down on the pavement with the billy clubs . . .") and glories (". . . Now it's 'Fuck Tha Police' all up in the club") — but this is no dusty museum tour. Compton contains some of his most ambitious, idea-stuffed production ever, combining the layered bombast and narcotic ooze of his catalog's peaks with a bunch of bold new tricks. On standouts like "Talk About It" and "Genocide," Dre and his co-producers manage insane juggling acts between throbbing funk bass, jazz trumpet, extended high-hat solos, acoustic guitars and irresistibly pounding drums. Lyrically, Compton is not only vibrant but full of an indignation that suggests world-beating success has done little to lessen the vitriol that fueled Dre back in N.W.A. On "Issues," co-starring Ice Cube, Dre declares, "Fuck money, that shit could never change me." The line seems at once boastful and true, for better and worse: The track ends with a jarring fantasy about a woman's violent murder. Throughout, Dre's rhyming (aided as always by co-writers) is impressive. He trades his familiar stentorian boom for double-time syncopations, hoarse snarls and even bursts of song — Eminem and Kendrick Lamar, both of whom cameo, clearly rubbed off on him. The latter in other ways, perhaps: This is Dre's most explicitly political album, featuring lines from him and guests that evoke police violence, particularly the killings of Michael Brown ("Blood on the cement, black folks grieving") and Eric Garner ("I can't breathe, I can't breathe"). He's still full of contradictions — on "Animals," he calls himself a "product of the system, raised on government aid," but on "Darkside/Gone," he raps, with palpable disgust, that "anybody complaining about their circumstances lost me, homey." It adds up to an album by turns confounding and enthralling. It's no Detox. It's something realer, and better.
