I was under the impression those albums were loved because of their consistency. Hahah automatic comment fail for not knowing that 2001 was criticized in many reviews for being overly long (Master P albums around that time started that trend of filling the entire CD with as many tracks as would fit) and so having a bunch of filler tracksNo actually it wasn't. If anything it was criticized in some reviews for the lyrical content. Thread fail since no one agrees with you. You may have had a point if you had stuck to Dre's earliest work.Also I disagree with your idea of what filler is. Every album has some songs that are stronger than others. That's the whole point of singles. Good songs are not fillers. Fillers are songs that you could do without listening to. But a lot of the songs you mentioned are songs that are loved by people. You apparently dislike some Dre songs that are classic to the rest of us.

One of the worst threads i have seen. I understand u not liking a track but calling it wack is ludicrous.

i give props to UCC, as he's not scared to express his opinion( even though i don't agree with everything)some posters on here always act so sensitive when it comes to their favourite artists/songs
for an album to even be considered as a classic there can't be any 'wack' or 'ok' tracks on there.

I'm not TOO worried about Detox having a so-so song on it at this point, because I think lots of classic albums Dre has been involved in have hadtheir fair share of just ok, or even wack tracks.I think it's wrong to assume that Detox will have nothing but classics, because I think Doggystyle is the only album he's produced with no weak tracks...Here's the tracks I think were wack or just aight on classic albums he had a hand in (off the top of my head) -Straight Outta Compton -"Something 2 Dance 2" - pretty wackEazy-Duz-ItSome not so great tracks on hereEfil4zaggin -There's a bunch of just ok tracks on this, with pretty dope beats, but not stand-outs, kinda a lot of fillerNo One Can Do It Better -Some kinda corny stuff on here, but of course amazing stuff as well100 Miles and Runnin -The title track is great, the others are just ok, imoThe Chronic -"A Nigga With a Gun" and "Rat-a-tat-tat" - I do love these tracks now, but they took a long time to get into for me"Stranded on Death Row" - dope as a posse cut, but the beat isn't as good as some of the othersMurder Was the Case -"Harvest for the World" - pretty wack2001 -"Big Egos", "Light Speed", "Bitch Niggaz", "Murder Ink", "Some L.A. Niggaz", "Ackrite" - just ok, some of those are filler to me"Let's Get High" - wack
a nigga wit a gun and rat a tat tat.......when first read this thread I thought he was saying those were the best songs on the chronic and that is what i agreed with......

People need to realise the difference in not liking a track and it being "wack". I dont like rock music for example but because i dont like it doesnt mean its all "wack"There is nothing on The Chronic and 2001 that is below average but i can understand why people wont like some of the tracks.

That's like saying De La Souls '3 Feet High And Rising' isn't a classic because the skits are wack (because you don't like skits on albums).Personal taste and musical appreciation are 2 different things.
