Dre changing his delivery to more of a high pitched sped up Kendrick Lamar type flow killed it for me. It was obvious what Dre was trying to do. He had no faith that his normal cadence would sell records.
it worked very well on some songs. drug test, darkside, guns blazing... dre sounds really young, fresh and hot!
exactly...although lack of promotion for the album didn't help
Imagine if 2001 had been released with no promo, no radio play, and no video. I could see that album ending up the same way as Compton. Like a great album that didn't change the game.
those are important, but the real thing for 2001 is/was a monstre thing is the up in the smoke tour.the most legendary hip hop tour ever IMO.that helps every artist back than with their record sales.

It would've changed the game no matter what the fucc they did or didn't do because that was a great time in hip-hop where you had groups like NWA who couldn't even get their songs on radio or videos played and they would still sell double platinum off word of mouth and support in the hood and on the underground... Those were the mutherfuckin dayz when everything was righteous because you didn't need the machine behind you. Even Eazy E his whole career I never really saw the guys videos or heard him on the radio but yet he would alway sell platinum and platinum plus and change the game. There were a lot of examples like this back in the day.
