Bishop Lamont, Dre, Detox, What Could've Been And What It Was...
⠀:
Listening to GDNIAFT by the Bish and it made me realize how the world would've reacted if Dre had made Detox featuring those slightly evolved 2001 style beats:
Dated, old, uninspiring with occasional moments of sheer excellence.
Bishops whole album is dope, really dope if we're just speaking on the lyrics as they are the "grown man business" aspect of the game that I hoped Detox would contain but the beats and hooks are very hit and miss with Khalid and co doing their best impersonations that lack soul or character. Still glad to see Bishop get a release but this album just kept on hitting me with those "could've been Detox" waves over and over again.
It also gave me a new appreciation of why Dre keeps switching up his underlings and keeps a gang of people around him as the orchestrator orchestrates but needs new players to keep it fresh and different and the folks who laced Bishop end up sounding a lot like those Detox jam sessions we heard.
FWIW Compton is a still a wack album though :P
Sccit:
would've been mediocre for an aftermath release .. and compton still classic.
⠀:
No way this album would've dropped on Aftermath, now his previous mixtapes could've been culled into a bonafide classic 5 mic album during his Aftermath tenure as he recorded some serious heat.
This one sounds dated and uninspired in parts with the beats not matching up to the calibre of his vocals. Compton was the other way round. And Compton still wack.
Soopafly DPGC:
Compton was chaotic. Too many songs switching up beats. Dre doing his best Kendrick Lamar impression on the whole album. His voice was about 5 octaves higher on this album. I wanted, to like it, I really did. Bumped it steadily for a month or so. I never get it out anymore. Satisfiction, Diary and All On Me were standouts. 3 or 4 good songs is enough for a mediocre album, and I feel I got my money's worth, I was just expecting more from Dre, especially after 10 years worth of tracks he has in the vaults. I just can't get used to his new rap 'style'.
Sccit:
if u listen to compton witout expectations, you'll appreciate it for the great body of work it is
i can see why someone who was expecting 2001 would be disappointed tho
