Quote from: dj coma on May 23, 2019, 06:58:23 AMCompton itself may have not been a mainstream success, but its role was to be the soundtrack for a movie. That movie was a huge success and the soundtrack is a supporting piece of that movie. I think that’s why they never dropped a single for it. They didn’t care about how the soundtrack did because how the movie did was way more important and made way more $. Compton wasn’t a “game changer” by any means but IMO it was an amazing, unique album that I still play all the time. I get that traditional west coast fans might not like the style but the you can’t deny it was a solid album.More like because no song on Compton is Dre-single worthy. And Dre himself knows Compton not that good also, that's why he only performs his same old classics from the Chronic and 2001.

they coulda easily pushed a single off compton if they wanted .... that entire album was fulla catchy modern soundin joints wit a dre twist. but it was a push for the biopic, so dre didn’t really wana push it as its own thing.

Shit was weak all round and Dre, me and you know it. The rest of his old hoes don't wanna admit the Emperor ain't got no clothes! Compton is Dres second weakest album and no one can deny that.

Compton OST was the cover story so Dre had a fall back for his weak release that he abandoned in the elements like a Spartan child and guess what, it didn't make it. It perished in the elements. You think Jimmy Iovine doesn't want everything he drops to make money? You know the routine. Face it. Compton is Dres second weakest album and even a stan like you can't deny that.

Considering that it came from the guy who made two of the greatest albums ever that makes it and even bigger fall off. Like he fell off the biggest cliff with a black hole at the bottom of it. Anyway, glad you've finally came to terms with this so I don't need to beat this dead horse any more as we both agree its weak.
Compton is definitely Dre's weakest album as it's not consistent though the whole thing, although it's not a bad album.IMO tracks like Talkin To My Diary and It's All On Me are light-years ahead of weak tracks like Talk About It.You can tell those tracks originate from the 2012 era sessions instead of the later ones as the sound is different... and Slim The Mobster is on the chorus so it's definitely from the earlier era that the D.O.C. described as Dre's best Detox sessions.It's a shame Detox wasn't released back then.
The very fact that you've got to post screen grabs, convince someone else as much as you have yourself, take time to "get it" all just proves copping pleas now, doesn't it? No one had to do any of that shit for Chronic or 2001, did they? Thats why they're classics. You knew from the first spin.Its a brick. The Doctor dropped a brick. It happens. And it did. End of.
the chronic and 2001 are top 5-10 hip-hop albums .. compton is not even top 50. therein lies the difference.

We both agree that its a weak offering from Dre that doesn't touch his previous works in any way shape or form nor does it measure up to other rappers greats. No need to say any more, cape, cop pleas, dress it up to look like this or that etc.. so lets just leave it at that.
