It took some times for people to get on it because it wzs different from the previous work. Also it is a different era different game so after being in the game for more than 25 years, i believe this is a good representation of his whole career, you have some hard gangsta rap, some better sounding trap and some jazz element like The Chronic had.

WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? That's 100% FALSE! No it did not take people time to get on it. That shit was an INSTANT classic, the minute the first single came out. Everybody was on that shit and every single that came out was a classic. He could have had like 10 music videos for that album. You're trippin.

Nah, he's right, lots of people who were big fans of The Chronic and Doggystyle were kinda disappointed at first, because the sound of
2001 was so simple and sparse and didn't have the lush percussion and lots of instruments that Dre had before.
"Still DRE" got a lot of criticism for just being 2 piano notes the whole way through, "Next Episode" people complained Snoop sounded tired
and bland by that point, and people said that all the lyrics on the album were really generic gangsta rap.
It's also known for having too many tracks, which meant it had filler like "Let's Get High, "Ackrite," "Bitch Niggaz," etc. and Hittman was seen
to have no charisma and was on too many songs.
2001 was rated 4/5 stars in most outlets - it's considered good, but not fantastic.
People who were teenagers when it came out always like to imagine everyone loved it at the time, but it was seen as as a mild disappointment
that has a handful of classic tracks saving it.

No he's not right. That's 100% false. I lived the time. It's FALSE. I was an ADULT not a teen.
There's always going to be guys who aren't going to like something but trying and compare the hype of this album to 2001 is just hilarious. You really think that MOST people were like "hey bro did you like the Still D.R.E. track? ...Nah bro It was too simple with only 2 piano notes" LOL!! That's comical ha. As if everyone in the streets is an expert producer or musical engineer ha. That shit was aninstant hit, except for a few haters and fake ass musical experts.

6 tracks in, so far Its All On Me and All In A Days Work stand out, Darkside/Gone improves after the beat flips, but im still waiting to be blown away overall

nah he is not right! you neihter.
still dre is one of the best song in hip-hop history.
hittman did a great job on xxplosive and big egos tracks.
don't try to sell this crap that people reacted negative when they heard 2001 first time.
name me a song on compton soundtrack that people will remember 5 years, sorry, 2 years later?
mikeOG:
bumped it once. Sounds like a kendrick album and I find his new rap style to be annoying (Kendricks). too bad he's on this. Definitely a more fast tempo aggressive feel to the album rather than some catchy smooth stuff with hardly any melodies that make you bop your head. Good for the peeps who dig Kendrick lamar. I understand why Dre did it like this, it is 2015 but damn a few catchy bangers would have been nice.
