it looks like he's working on some new stuff now, maybe a more west coast (west west) project? i hope he doesn't go out with 'Compton'. if detox could come back it would be great, but don't particularly wanna hear any more of the Compton sound. he should get back with the cats like dawaun parker.

fair enough, the sound didn't fit me the first time i heard the album.
i can enjoy some of the album now, but the vocal production could be much better.
and i don't like the south imitation and the weird voice effects, dre should know better

I agree about the vocals they sound off to me as well...the beats are dope I don't hear much southern influence though

you're right, i should have added that i'm mainly referring to Talk about it.

"I'll be damned, just fucked around and crashed my Benz.
Driving around with a smashed front end
Let's cash that one in.
Grab another one from out the stable
The Monte Carlo, El Camino or the El Dorado
The hell if I know.
Do I want leather seats or vinyl?
Decisions, decisions
Garage looks like Precision Collision."
Just glad DRE didn't come out and rap about his low-riders and blunts anymore - he's on some grown man shit. I think people are missing the KUSH tracks but Dre is 50 mayne... doesn't need to rap about that stuff.

fair enough, but vocally he sounds better on crack a bottle than on most of the Compton album

no problem, I can definitely see the influence on that one track...I agree about his vocals they sounded better in the past but he is 50 years old so I understand...I dont particularly care for the guests featured, not really impressive when you think about it although Em was very decent on his song

That's why I need a doctor was a struggle track while this album was classic

How could someone not be impressed with the guests on Compton? I'm ol' school, stuck in 96' (pre-Sept. 13th) and it is very hard for me to like any new artist that is younger than me. But I thought Mez, Pak, Justus, Conner really breathed new life into Dre and that they were tremendous on this album.
They even said in an interview that "Talk About It" actually laid the foundation for Dre's sound and new direction on the album. I thought Dre sounded as great as ever behind the mic, and that is saying a lot since he is 50.
Dre is the first rapper to do what he is doing at this age—and he is the hip-hop generations Rolling Stones or U2—I still remember when Too Short retired in 96', people never thought rappers would have this kind of longevity

So Dr. Dre has shouted out WC on both 2001 and Compton: A Soundtrack, and still WC has yet to rap over a Dre beat - a damn shame if you ask me.
Also, anyone notice how on 'Loose Cannons', when Xzibit comes in with the lowrider sounds it almost like a continuation of the intro from 2001 (which featured Xzibit too)?
Is 'Talking To My Diary' mixed a little too loudly on the CD? Sounds extra loud to me compared to the other tracks.

- he's rapped on a dre beat wit "the streets", one of his biggest hits
- yea, that was the point.
- naah, sounds perfectly fine on my cd
one thing i did notice though, the cd doesnt show titles when i pop it in my system....most albums show the track titles as you play em, but this one just says "track 1" "track 2" etc.
