That's comical ha. As if everyone in the streets is an expert producer or musical engineer ha.

You don't need to be an expert producer to know that the track mainly goes "ching ching ching ching ching ching ching ching" throughout the
entire track, anyone who had functioning ears at the time could hear it, it's the loudest part of the track.
After all the dope melodies that were on The Chronic and Doggystyle, it seemed like a big step back for fans of Dre's earlier work.
After waiting 7 years from the Chronic to 2001, the first thing fans heard was this "ching ching ching ching" track.
I can tell you for a fact that loads of hip-hop heads were disappointed.
It did well with casual music fans on the radio, but then so did "I Need A Doctor"...
Don't get me wrong, it is a dope track and one of the few really good tracks on the album, but you can't pretend that it was what
people were anticipating at the time, it was a big WTF for a lot of people.

just a question; how old are you man? I was 19 when that dropped. Like many I was doubting Dre, but when I first heard Still Dre, I knew he was back. Yes, 2001 has some filler and disappointed some, but it's impact was immense and changed the game. Almost everyone LOVED Still Dre and the other hits (and I agree that a Snoop didn't sound good on this album, especially Next Epiwode)

That's all I'm saying - I'm not saying it came out and people thought it was totally wack or anything, it was just kinda disappointing...
People were expecting a 5/5 album and many thought it was 4/5... that's not bad, it's just a bit disappointing when expectations were high.
It changed the game, but that was mainly because at the time hip-hop was all about Master P and Puffy and everyone was like, phewf, now Dre is back.
Not because it was Dre's best work, but because it was way, way doper than the other popular stuff at the time.

Are there any non-iTunes streams available somewhere? My friend is looking for one.
