no it's not.
:snoopfacepalm:
I disagree. Compton is nowhere near the level of a Chronic or 2001 - not only numerically in terms of success, but conceptually or production-wise. Standalone leftovers that didn't even make it on the album - like Music To Driveby - were better than the entire release. Compton reminds me of the Aftermath compilation that flopped right before he realized he need to get back to what he knows and made 2001. Hopefully we'll see the same thing happen again.
no. just no.
You're sounding like an unappreciative hater there dudebroski. Still, mo Compton fo me. Comparing it Aftermath Presents... is sacrilegious. Dre disowned that album with "How nigga my last album was The Chronic" but his extensive marketing and social mentions show how proud he is of Compton as his magnum opus and its deserves the title of finest album he's ever created.People were just too basic to get how dope it is on first listen, its like fine wine and you need the palette to appreciate it. Sheer genius mixing and innovative flows, lyrics and all that. 5 mics. Instant classic. 2 dubs up.
But I think the "hater" term is really overused and combative. It's not really an argument at all and doesn't serve a purpose here.
Agree with this. I've tried to give Compton a chance and even revisited it several years later and it absolutely falls flat. It felt forced with the features, content, and ghostwriters to the point that it didn't make sense; like it was a Kendrick album. Hopefully, he narrows down who he works with on his new album (if there is one) and sticks to one or two ghostwriters.
