The two tracks on Buck The World were just average, but this 50 track is dope. The majority of his recent tracks have been dope, especially the stuff he did with Snoop. Every track he makes is not a classic change your life beat, but his shit is stil dope.
To put things in perspective, this isn't exactly the first time that people said Dre fell off. It may be hard to believe now, but after he left Ruthless people thought he couldn't do it without NWA. Then after he left Death Row, people said he really fell the fuck off with the Aftermath compilation, Firm, and singles like Zoom. If you remember from the dreday.com board discussions, not everyone was convinced that 2001 was going to be dope before it came out, mostly because of his hit or miss releases over the years before that. Of course 2001 dropped and changed a lot of people's minds again. Then he had a steady stream of hits with Marshall Mather's LP and 50's debut. When everyone expects you to release classics every time you drop, you're bound to disappoint fans at some point. I think Dre's still better off than he was during the post Death Row/pre 2001 era, but it remains to be seen if Detox can really touch the Chronic and 2001. After all, if you think about it, the guy's been in the game for 20 years. The magic's gonna run out at some point.
