What sold back then was pop shit as well, and those songs are pretty commercial compared to their time.Dre has been known for coming with his own commercial sound and taking over the mainstream. I'm all for that and I've been expecting his music to sound pop. However he didn't even produce his own single. Instead he has a generic Alex da Kid beat, of which we already have plenty and Dre's happens to be the worst.What the fuck?? Here we go again with that "POP" shit again. NO 2001 was not POP and Chronic was not either. You think everything that's "Commercial" is POP. I think what the guy is obviously saying, is that the song does not even sound HIP HOP. Chronics and 2001 "POP" hits still had a HIP HOP vibe. How the fuck do you relate this song with those? Yes, Dre had the ability to make commercial music but i can name 100 tracks that were POPULAR that don't sound like this shit, regardless of the era. This is some shit JA rule would use to rap with Ashanti in the 2001 era. haha. Your waay off.Fail. INAD sounds nothing like an Ashanti song."This is bell-bottoms-and-Afros music, its spiritual source the blaxploitation soundtrack, and what it promises above all is boom times for third-rate flautists--sociopathic easy-listening. Even if it's "just pop music," as some rationalize, it's bad pop music" -- review for The ChronicOh shit!!! Wow you completely changed my mind. Great reference . Fail. Chronic nor 2001 had the POP sound that was happening at that time. This time around Dre literally is following the trend with this track and I hope the rest are not the same. Fuck your review. I lived it, so I know personally. Dre could have brought out a different MAINSTREAM, POPULAR single. Eminem is probably not the best example, but Ill try and use him. Remember RELAPSE? Well Dre produced "3AM" and a video was released for the MAINSTREAM. Can you tell the difference between both? If you can't understand my point, then don't even bother. I just don't want to hear any more garbage statements about Chronic and 2001 was always "POP". I think everyone here understands both albums were POPULAR but I think you should be smart enough to understand that's not what people are trying to imply. Fuck my review? Fuck your opinion. Who the fuck cares what one dude on a forum thinks? I lived it too. Matter of fact I lived it right here in Cali. I grew up to that shit.A famous professional critic knows more than you. End discussion. I have no intention of wasting time arguing with one dude on a forum who doesn't know what he's talking about.

If ya'll were real Dre fans you would be supportin this video and trying to get this shit to blow up, and by the way it's a great video, I love the images from Dre's past... it kind of reminds me of Rocky 4 with the "No Easy Way Out" montage. Everyone here should head over to MTV's website and play the video so it can stay #1 on MOST VIEWED so that Detox will finally come out!
Dr.Dre I need a Doctor is back on No. 4 US Charts, No.1 German Video Charts

Quote from: LAC/Eastside on February 27, 2011, 02:33:23 PM Chronic nor 2001 had the POP sound that was happening at that time. Popular music has always had a variety of sounds. Your personal taste and experiences would play a big role in defining that. I don't feel there was ever a time where pop music was defined by one sound. Michael Jackson, Madonna, and George Michael weren't all doing the same music in the 80's but they were all huge pop acts. Dre was definitely playing around with the popular formula for California-based music at that time. The content was a little edgier but that was what the buying public wanted. The music itself was melodic with strong R&B/funk influence. You play "Straight Outta Compton" and then play "The Chronic" and tell me which one is more polished and pop-oriented on a sonic level. I mean, since we all were alive and aware in 1991-92, let me pose this question: What was "pop rap" back then? White suburban America had their fill of New Kids On The Block, Michael Jackson, and MC Hammer. Record labels weren't looking for cute shit. People want something a little rebelious. They wanted Death Row, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana. R&B acts were acting more like rappers to try and sell. Back then, it was clean-cut artists searching out rappers so they could have credibility. MC Hammer was coming back as the "Funky Headhunter". Dre had the formula with that one.
Chronic nor 2001 had the POP sound that was happening at that time.
