Well, I'm probably one of the biggest Dre-nutriders in here, but the last years made me skeptical.. I miss the days when the tracks said produced by Dre/Storch, Dre/Mel-Man, Dre/Elizondo, I wouldn't mind Dre/Batson either..But the last couple of years we've had to do with "Produced by some hot at the moment producer", mixed by Dr.Dre.. not that it's necessarily a bad thing as Dre is ace at mixing, but it's not the same imo..As crisp as it might sound, it's been a while since I've heard a track that blows your mind like 2001, Restless, Documentary, GRODT, etc..Quote from: Matty on July 29, 2015, 02:57:20 PMthe pessimism is warranted. years of detox instagrams have numbed the hearts of many a fan and made us all cold inside.lets hope this is something to celebrate.Word.I'd rather be skeptical and be positively surprised, than jack the expectation level up to the maximum, and be disappointed..Seems like Dre is going all in though, so I'm buzzing for this..

thats because dre is unmotivated...so he's not giving these tracks the same attention he used to. and at the same time, beat-makers are trying to change the definition of producer for their own personal gain. so while a track like "kush" says produced by khalil, you can bet your bottom dollar that it woulda said "produced by dr. dre" in 1992 and "produced by dr. dre & dj khalil" in 1999........it's like giving credit to whoever wrote thriller over michael jackson. sure, someone else wrote it...but michael jackson brought it to life. dr. dre is michael jackson.
people who've heard it said there's a lot of soul, jazz, funk influence on the records seems like the beat in this trailer could be a good indicator of the type of vibe he's going for - mellow, soulful, west coast.https://www.youtube.com/v/VeJCyLPSVVM
Interesting thing is you can see how he's playing it safe with the whole "Inspired by..." aspect, all those plaques and acclaim and Dre is still the same old lacking confidence in his product dude. If its a hit he'll claim credit if it goes Aftermath album status he'll poke fun at it later on.

I could be wrong but I'm thinking the whole "inspired by" description is for Dre to have the freedom to have the content we all want to hear without us saying "he's 50 years old!" "He's worth 750 million!" Etc. it allows him to keep the content similar to his past work without it sounding like pure fiction. Which is a good thing I guess . We'll see
