"Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath" Opinions?

[Murrow]

Okay, I'm carrying this topic over to here, which songs did you guys like, or didn't like?  What did you think about the album?

I thought these were good songs...

"The Aftermath Intro"
"East Coast Killaz/West Coast Killaz"
"Shittin On The World"
"Blunt Time"
"Been There Done That"
"Str-8 Gone"
"Sexy Dance"
"Nationowl"
"Fame"

Yea, all those songs are good, nuthing classic though.  The rest of the songs you coyuld fuckin trash.  This album had some sick beats too, "Blunt Time", "Been There Done That" & "Fame".  What do y'all think?

damn man..u beat me to it....  lol

everything u named are the songs that i liked......a bunch of those slow jam songs were just filler songs...that sounded like shit.....i need to buy that cD again......

As The Worl Keeps Turning - Miscellaneous Flossy P

i liked that song also...

what happen to those artist...and what happen to those producers..that were in the picture with dre in the CD insert?   did they bail on him?

[Don Jacob]

the only one we know for sure is still around is Mel Man

i'm not sure where all the others went but i know that:

Flossy P is still producing
Glove has/is been producing with dre for years
bud'da is still producing
i'm not sure about stu-b-doo though

[Murrow]

Well they stuck for a little while later.  Mel-Man, Glove, Stu-B-Doo & Bud'da stayed with Dre, same with King Tee.  As it stands right now the only person from that compilation still with Dre is Mel-Man.  I've explained much more in the comentary's section @ WCKILLAZ.  There I have an article about the history of Aftermath, and what happend to all those artists.  Check is out & P'Z!

[Murrow]

Glove doesn't produce with Dre anymore, he produced Chico & Coolwada's album just recently.  Bud'da still does stuff, he laced that Snoop song "Trust Me" off "Topp Dogg".  Dre at one point said Stu-B-Doo was gonna be the next big thing that he was working with, last I heard of him was on Ras Kas's album in '98.

[Hambone (Guest)]

i wonder if they felt dre fell off...and left......or dre didnt feel they were behind him..after dr. dre presents flopped......mel man was smart...stickin with dre....dre needs to write a book......of course he would never have time to do that....

[Murrow]

I highy doubt that THEY wanted to leave.  a lot of those artists never had a chance before, why would they wan't to throw it away.  Dre said he's like to make a movie of his life, he said he's shopping they script around

[Hambone (Guest)]

i would watch it in a heartbeat.....
who was it on the forum here...who had the idea about directing the next Dre Video, with Hittman and Dre, and DAz being in the video??? damn..i forgot who came up with that......they need to holla at dre...

[Trauma-san]

OH, That'd Be Me  

Hey, My Favorites Off This Cd Were

"Str8 Gone" (Unbelievable)
"Been There, Done That" (I Love The Lyrics, Beat, Flow, It's Nice)
"Shittin' On The World" (COME ON! This Is RARE, MelMan On The Mic? Nice)

Peace!

Trauma

I liked most the whole album, but only cause of the sick beats, and a few of the songs mentioned here, this forum...

But "Been There, Done That" is a slept-on classic, more lyrically than anything. It shows a maturing Dre, dropping some of the gangsta veil from the previous 11 years he'd started at WCWC.

Some bailed on Dre...Stu-B-Doo now like does soundtracks for porno movies...Poor bastard...That nigga coulda gone far, he still makes the hot shit, but without Dre, he's little.

Mel-Man's pretty great.

In conclusion, the beats were dope, some of the lyrics were pretty ill, but it was a lukewarm collection overall...Not bad, but hardly classic material overall.

[Hambone (Guest)]

yeah....Trauma needs to get ahold of that script and be the director for dre..........yo dre..u readin this...trauma got some ideas..man.....i am sure he will work for some chronic..couple of unreleased tracks.....u know.....u hear me dre.....dre....u listenin brah?

[Top-Dogg2001]

"The Aftermath Intro"
"East Coast Killaz/West Coast Killaz"
"Shittin On The World"
"Blunt Time"
"Been There Done That"


Those are about the only things I still listen to. But that doesn't mean the whole album is bad. I don't think this album was that bad like most people say. The sound on this album was bangin. It just wasn't bangin back in 96. I think it was years away from it's time.
It is far from classic but it ain't bad either. I would give it either 2.5 or 3 out of 5.

[Murrow]

The production wasn't bad at all, I think Dre had A LOT of input and control over each track.  Even though he's credited for production on about 7 songs, I think he helped out the rest of the producers.  The only thing was that Glove, Stu-B-Doo, Bud'da & Flossy P ALL SOUNDED THE SAME!  They had no original styles!

[TheMan329]

No one said L.A.W., that song is dope!

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

I enjoy listening to "Shittin on The World"...But Mel has no lyrical talent, I mean he cant rhyme for shit, it's funny to hear him rhyme...Sorry, but he either should stick to producing or get somone to right his rhymes, but even that wont help because his flow is horible, so I recomend he sticks to producing...I like the song though, it's funny...
