Has anybody actually witnessed anyone bumping this album? Like been out and heard it playing from a car stereo system or at a party or club?I mean I consider it an instant classic but its like I'm the only one. I even played "Talk About It" at a party once and there was no reaction. And I played it for some of my friends in the ride.... And again no reaction......Has anyone played this for anyone in person (outside the Internet) and what was the feedback?
MY FEE LOVED IT, HAD IT ON REPEAT IN THE RIDE THE ENTIRE MONTH IT DROPPED
How can something that was a chore to sit through in the first place even have replay ability. Are you a masochist? Listening to it with your beats headphones lined with sandpaper, wearing leather studded under pants (with the studs on the inside) on a battered public bus trundling over potholes?

Hell you can pick out pretty much any Dre track pre Compton (well at leasts over 60% of his catalog to be accurate) and it will do the same thing. Compton on the other hand was quickly rushed to allow Dre to wash his hands of Detox and its hype that he could never deliver on - not by your expectations but his - by pretending it wasn't a Dre album per se and just created for the movie yada yada yada. It was a weak concept with poor execution, some interesting beats here and there thematically speaking, generally piss poor lyrics and the usual outstanding mastering. As I said back when it was released I'd love to hear the instrumental version and I'll guarantee you that Dre has tracks that he'd recorded for Detox that excrete all over this release even though they'll either be barebones, hardly finished or only have 492 different vocal takes - none of which were good enough for Dre. A lot of people like it because they WANT to like it, thus they manufacture proof as they lie to themselves but the fact that this album came and went like a fart in the breeze speaks volumes when it comes to drops by the mighty D R E as he might as well have called this album "Amnesia". I'd always suspected this album was his way to sacrifice Detox by releasing something sub par and then following it up with a 1/2 punch and knocking it out of the park with a follow up album that was mindblowingly different that combined his signature drums with orchestral pieces or something equally left field as I'd been hedging on his musical score to the planets concept being what he really wanted to do instead of treading the gangsta rap path again where there really was nothing left to be said and thus he'd use Compton as a counterpoint to springboard a grander sound and fanbase.If you're reading this Dre, it still ain't too late and I want 5% of the adjusted net for giving you this plan.

I liked that album because the production was great, the vocals were on point, the concepts were tremendous, the overall sound rattled my speakers with post nut clarity......didn't have to force myself, anyone with an ear for great production can feel it. You don't like it because it's not what u expect from dre .. But let's say it was branded as king mez's debut album, u would call it a classic and best album of the year. That's the power of the mind in terms of relatively.
