So he was creating a movement and speaking on shit that was highly relevent and trendsetting to the whole world and people are still following those trends.

that and the music was better too
and that’s not a diss to compton, but both the chronic and 2001 have an argument for goat hip-hop album.. cant say that for compton, altho compton has an argument for greatest rap album of the 2010s which is still amazing .. but the chronic and 2001 were better both because they set trends AND because they were better musically

Ssup yall, its been a minute since I commented on a topic. But this thread here did call me back somehow..
In my opinion 2001 is the greatest rap album of all time sonically, it is literally the reference for many beatmakers and producers all around the world. I am a beatmker and producer myself and everytime I make music, 2001 is the go-to to reference album for loudness, clearness, mixing and vibe all in one. Compton was a bit too harsh in the highs to my ears compared to 2001 and The Chronic. But we are talking about Dr. Dre, he still nailed it with the mix engineering on the album. Thats just a personal opinion, who am I to judge the sonic choices of this legend...
I agree with some of you, who said that Compton couldnt live up the hype against both Chronics. It will though forever be a special album to me, I was in the US coincidentally for the first tiime in my life when Dre announced it suddenly on Beats Radio or something. Will never forget the day it dropped, I was so hyped after all the years we waited for Detox to never come out ::) But then it didnt sound the way the Intro did start the album. It was a modern attempt from Dre and his whole ICU team to sound current at the time. The arrangement on the album is amazing, it is like a movie and I like many songs on it. Favorites are Its All On Me, All in a Days Work, Just Another Day, Animals and Talking To My Diary. The way he uses instruments as song elements is just genius. For example the digging part or the percussion switch ups. My problem with the album is also Dres voice and flow, he didnt sound like the normal Dre Rapper we used to know.... And there was not one +HIT SONG+ on this album. Its just a fact but that doesnt mean that the album is not good. I am happy that we got the album almost ten years ago and it was a phenomenal time to me. I enjoyed it and still do from time to time 8)
PS: I dont believe Dre will ever drop another album, so just enjoy what we have and peace out to all of you ;)
