I feel yall on that. I really don't see what's so good about it.

"Round Here" and "Think About It" > "Imagine".

Good to see Snoop & Dre together again though.

Imagine is the song of the year, bottom line

the only reason people are saying that is because snoop and dre are on the same track... the tracks dope, but over rated to the EXTREME.

"Round Here" and "Think About It" > "Imagine".

Good to see Snoop & Dre together again though.

I gotta be real with you.  You know I'm a huge Dr. Dre fan, and a huge Snoop Dogg fan. 

Imagine ain't very good.  I understand maybe it seems deep to some people, and I can applaud Dre and Snoop for their ambition... but to me the beat just isn't what I expect from a Dre beat... like never before you can seperately hear what he threw together and it just doesn't mesh much.  Listen to just the drums.... you can do that because they're mixed way away from the rest of the song so you can hear them almost as a seperate, really simple sounding drum pattern.  Over that he's got a little piano riff, but it's put somewhere else too so it almost sounds like a second pattern playing at the same time... It gets a little better when he adds the strings on it, and I realize every song is recorded in small patterns, but everything just seems to simple and isolated.  The lyrics to me are decent but Dre sounds tired and sad.  Not good for this song, in my opinion.

Round Here is a great song, but to me the beat is a letdown, AGAIN.  I can't believe I'm saying this about Dre.  that dido song is tired, and he just lifted the best loop from it, which had already been halfway lifted for "Stan".  It's almost like Dre's copying somebody, which is just wild.  Snoop though, just kills this.  Dre's beat *IS* good, it's just not the wicked Dre style we've come to expect.  After Snoop starts his deal, the song really comes together well but before that it's just like listening to "Thank You" which I'm a little burnt out on.  Snoop just destroys this, anybody who thinks the Dogfather is dead is out of their fucking mind.  This is some of the best shit available right now, and stands up their with his best stuff lyrically and especially flow wise, the flow has returned and I've told people for years it never died.

"Boss's Life" again the beat is nothing crazy to me.  It's good.  Not the best on the album.  I wish Dre would have gave Snoop some better stuff, but it's still quality.  I could never even conceive this beat, Dre's making it in a studio full of dope musicians, so I have to excuse myself because of that.... I need to listen to this song more but at first few listens it isn't really slaying me.

"I wanna Fuck You" is actually pretty good... but of course it's useless because I don't date women that I could play a song called "I wanna fuck you" around without getting slapped.  On the flip side, I'm also not in love with strippers, so the song is useless to me.  The beat is good, and Akon just kills it.  His voice is good, damn good.  It's really got that club vibe like club songs get accused of having but don't really have... his voice reverbs over the beat and would fill an entire club up but still let you talk.  Melodically it's probably the best song on the album.  Everybody always ducks it but imagine Akon's voice as a trumpet, and you've got a smooth jazz song anybody alive would respect.  The melody's killer. 

The game song is just horrible.  I cannot see how anybody would enjoy anything about the song, just a shit, shit song on Snoop and the Game's part.

"Vato" is good because Snoop's voice is so wicked.  B-real doubled by Pharell probably would have sounded better because part of the attraction of Pharell's version of the hook was that it sounded more like a mexican than B-real does!  I love B-real, but his voice is not the typical mexican stereotype, he's been shot and his voice has a distinct sound to it.  It ends up sounding like B-real telling the story and he wouldn't talk like that.  I hope you get what I'm saying.

"10 lil crips" is pretty good.  I've only listend a few times but remember Snoop's flow was vicious on it.

"Think about it" is a clinic.  Others  could write better lyrics probably but nobody has a flow like that.  Crooked I couldn't even stand to that, Snoop Dogg is the shit, on songs like this he's untouchable.  Technically others are better but the whole package of making a track Snoop is unfuckwitable.

The Cube song I cannot listen to.  The beat just kills me, I cannot for the life of me get into that off beat slouch shit, where they roll the drums in or whatever the fuck they do.  I just can't get with the beat, so a dream combo ruined for me.

There's 2 or 3 others on the album that have the same problem.  I can follow any beat but I never understood why these kids would program their drum machines on the half note and shit, drums should be straight up and down, there's a million ways to do it without resorting to off-beat syncopation.  Once you've dropped the groove like that song does, its' impossible to make the song anything more than a novelty.

"That's That Shit" is a great song.  Like the dubcnn interview, Snoop is the king of this kind of a track, he waters himself down a little bit and makes a song specifically for the women with R. Kelly and nobody really does it better.  R. Kelly, Timberlake, Snoop, etc. all that shit works in this little genre they've got going here.  R. Kelly sounds as good as ever. The beat is masterful.

The song about all the women Snoop's flow is nice again on that one too.

The Stevie Wonder song is some other level shit.  Top of the line, right there.... the best part is how Snoop's just KILLING the flow, I mean destroying shit and he says something like "Thank you uncle Stevie" then Stevie Wonder says "Thank you Maine" and Snoop says Naw, thank you, and they're real nice, the beat's still going, Stevie Finally leaves, and then Snoop just goes back into that crazy ass flow without him! That's some real shit right there. 

Nice album with some great parts.  Really fits the times too, Snoop isn't trying to stick in 1993.

It's almost like Dre's copying somebody, which is just wild.

Funny thing is Dre actually interpolated a Nottz beat for Boss' Life, I think it's about time he called it a day because if his beats stay as they are Detox is going to be horrible.

Is it only me who can hear that the "Round here" beat and chorus was custommade for 50cent?
Imagine 50 on the chorus then you will see what i mean... Maybe it was supposed to appear on the new 50 album (street disc of course)

And yeah, "Round here" is the better one, "Boss Life" is just boring..

yeah as soon as I heard the chorus I thought about 50. snoop probably just wrote it in his sing-song style.

Imagine grew on me. I'm not just saying that because I wanna force myself into liking it because Dre is on it. I like the mellow vibe it's got. You can't even really compare it to Round Here because that track is much darker.

I'm feelin' them both though.
