One of the big underlooked but in my opinion, significant things is how the songs transition from one to another. That's why I love Dre albums. I mean, when I listen to the end of "The Day The Niggaz Over" and it goes right into "G-Thang", it's just so smooth and makes you appreciate how those songs compliment one another. Obviously, you can listen to "G Thang" on its own and it works fine but it's a different experience altogether when you listen to it through the album straight through. I think the same can be said of "Forgot About Dre" and "Next Episode". I used to make a lot of Dr. Dre mix CD's in the day and I'd often put songs like "Dre Day" and "Let Me Ride" together because they didn't sound right if they were seperated. This isn't just a Dr. Dre thing either. "Thriller" does this well. Radio stations often play Queen's "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions" together and it really works as one complete work. Guest features are fine if they are done as part of the album and not just throwing big names on the project to sell it. I like collaborations that actually sound like the artists are feeding off one another, not just one artist dropping a 16 bar over an instrumental to bridge the gap between choruses.
