Post by: Tanjential on August 24, 2001, 09:09:50 PM: I"ve heard all the Dre tracks plus desperadoes,i heard the rest of the album was whack so i didn't even listen to those i jsut burnt the best dre ones but i should have burnt desperadoes for canibus' dope ass verse.
anyway
get "Phone Tap","5 Minutes To Flush","Firm Fiasco","Fuck Somebody Else","Untouchable" and "Desperadoes"(not dre produced) from that album those are all great,DRe produced another track "Firm Family" but that shit was whack
i'll give you more info on those tracks if you want..peace-Tanjint

Post by: Tanjential on August 28, 2001, 10:39:59 AM: all the nes i listed are produced by Dre(i bet he had some co producers on those tracks but i don't know who man,sorry ]=() but Desperadoes was produced by someone from Trackmasters i'm guessing, and that's better than one of the Dre tracks (firm family:dre's whackest beat since n.w.a & the posse)peace-Tanjint

Post by: Don Jacob on September 01, 2001, 01:18:07 PM: those beats sounds whack to new listeners i suppose but back in the day tracks like "panic zone" were some ultra sonic stuff and TONS of underground heads were praising dre like underground heards praise alchemist, automator, hi tek, ect.

so you gotta look at that album from a different perspective....allmusic.com had a dope perpective review on this and gave this album 4.5 mics before that old jewish dude fucked up alot of reviews

Post by: Murrow on September 01, 2001, 01:36:41 PM: Jake's right, you gotta look at it from that time frame, how music was looked at then/what was hot. Peeps felt that shit like we feel Dre's futuristic style now.
