Quote from: Sccit on August 26, 2015, 04:27:51 PM literally. it has that new school vibe that appears to the typical young club goer, and still has an old school feel to it at the same time. I only hear old school feel in like 2 songs. I agree with the original post, but it's meant for pop fans regardless of color. I'm white as bread from the SFV yet I love gangsta rap. I can't relate to it but I feel and love how raw and real it was. And I love the classic old school samples in it. As a white dude I say fuck Wiz, fuck Drake, fuck Nicki and fuck Rick Ross!!! That's all pop bullshit to me.Like I said before, Dre knows what audience he wants, he's trying to run with the current crowd. He wants his music to be played with other top artists today. The industry is so polarized now. If he made street music, the homies would love it but pop radio would ignore it. Can't have it both ways. It is what it is.

Quote from: MOBNigga06 on August 25, 2015, 10:00:25 PMPurchased "Compton" yesterday on the strength of the reviews here, and I must say, it's the worst $14 I've ever spent on music. This is an album for mainstream white people who are uncomfortable with the attitude and themes of real gangsta rap. Instead of rapping about gangsta shit,, we get a bunch of corny raps about being troubled or depressed, rappers switching up their voices, doing impersonations, rapping way too fast for their own good, doing an artificial "angry flow," etc. None of the familiar rappers even sound like themselves on this album. It's clear that Dre did to them what he did to Too Short: gave them a verse written by someone else and forced them to perform it until it satisfied him. The album is so politically correct it's mind-blowing. I didn't hear one misogynistic lyric. Real rap albums are full of lines that are crude, but resonate with people because it's true shit you can't normally say in life. This is an album that was designed to make politically correct white people feel comfortable listening to rap music. Truly disgusting.The production is weak too. There's not one song I heard and thought "I need to bump this in the whip with the top down." The production too seems geared to appeal to depressed teens dealing with issues. The beats are not for real niggas who want to enjoy life, fuck bitches, and get money.People are surprised there's no Kurupt on the album...come on, how could you have a Kurupt verse appear on an album full of corny emo shit? Kurupt can't go five lines without saying some misogynistic shit. That's my nigga. Also, fuck Kendrick Lamar and Eminem...their faggoty voices make their shit completely unlistenable to me. I'm white and think the album sucks bad. I bump gangsta music and have been for 19 years. I agree the album sucks bad, however it's not for WHITE people. It's for the younger generation. Just like my dad doesn't like anybody new since 1978. It's just the way it goes.It's ignorance like this that divides races.

Man I don't know what your ears were doing when they were supposed to be listening to the album but it's nowhere near 'white pop' or whatever weirdo shit you used to describe it. I for one think it's a dope ass album. Dude's a 50 year old muli-millionaire successful mogul, married man,what is he supposed to be rapping about, thuggin, pussy? This is Compton from the perspective of Dr. Dre, not YG. Catch up.
I would dispute the idea that what makes this album bad is that it's for YOUNG PEOPLE. It's for politically correct WHITE PEOPLE.I love a lot of music that's made for young people, because it has that good, life-affirming vibe to it that was present in classic gangsta rap. I love a lot of what Mustard releases. Every song on Mustard's 10 Summers album and mixtape is for young people, and it's great to bump in the whip, especially when you got a bad young bitch with you. One reason I say this Dre album is politically correct is because of songs like Animals (which has, incidentally, the best beat on the album). To make a song about being poor and struggling and hating the system is politically correct because that's what white people imagine life to be like for black people. That's the role that white liberals want black people to assume. They love an album talking about police brutality and poverty in the ghetto. What's less politically correct is making an album about thriving in the ghetto, being a ghetto superstar, fucking bitches, getting money, and enjoying life (despite all the bad shit). That's what made The Chronic and Doggystyle politically incorrect. It was people who came from poverty talking about living an awesome life and being the man. Why does Dre now make a song about his difficult youth? Cause that's some shit that politically correct white people love to hear.

It's still a huge disappointment to me. I had no prejudice coming in: I loved 2001 - Xxplosive is one of my favorite songs of all time - and of course The Chronic is a classic.Listening to it more, a couple tracks go from "terrible" to "tolerable," but the whole vibe is just faggoty to me. There's nothing cool or inspiring on it. Some albums are what you play when you're bout to fuck a bitch, other albums are to be played when you're getting money. What's this album for? To play when you're angry at the world or feeling gay or something? That's so not a part of my lifestyle I just can't fuck with it.
