In the Dre/Premier Pharmacy episode that I posted in the other thread, Dre alludes on the lack of a proper single on Compton. He said that he used to be concerned with it, but the way that the industry is now changed all of that.
~35 minute mark
He doesn't really care about singles anymore, he just wants to make good music.

I think the Apple only release for the first 2 weeks cut down on sales...by the time the physical CD had come out it was already downloaded by many illegally...only the hardcore Dre fans like us bought the CD

--- Quote from: Matty on September 21, 2015, 05:06:34 PM ---haven't really said much since release, but honestly, this album is a huge letdown. i knew people would be getting upset and catchings feelings on both side for this one. i see dre's got a lot of fans regardless and it isn't bad by current day standards, it's not the shit i can vibe with fully. 2001 is much more enjoyable and while this is meant to be a harder, angsty cityscape, it just hasn't got the kind of groove i associate with dre's sound. his input seems to be more in more in the mixing etc. grand finale my ass. any version of detox woulda been more refreshing than this, i feel. but oh well.
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
--- End quote ---
I agree about the vocals they sound off to me as well...the beats are dope I don't hear much southern influence though
--- End quote ---
you're right, i should have added that i'm mainly referring to Talk about it.
--- Quote from: WalterOhDim on October 07, 2015, 06:33:31 AM ---I still listen to this album almost every day - shit is classic. I don't get all the complaints about it. Before Compton came out, I was listening to Crack a Bottle -
"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
--- End quote ---
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
--- End quote ---
i know about the age, but for me it's more the result of Kendrick writing for Dre.
to me the vocals sound better when Eminem writes for Dre for example.
