What's the Worst Album Title to an Otherwise Dope Album

[TraceOneInfinite]

I liked Organized Noize as a production team but I never got into Outkast heavy

Scarface is a legend, just forgot to mention him

Devin The Dude was cool also

First 4 Outkast album were all classic.  How can you not like:

"Southernplayalisticadillacmusic"
"Ain't No Thang"
"Atliens"
"2 Dope Boyz"
"Elevators"
"Rosa Parks"
"Skew it on the Barb"
"Bombs Over Baghdad"
"Ms. Jackson"

^^that's the best music in rap history.  Goodie Mob also had some classic songs as well.  JD is a legend, I don't care what anyone says, Jermaine Dupri is great, people don't just like him because they pushed him into the pop category because he had so much success.  But he not only produced but wrote for Kriss Kross, and Kriss Kross was a great group beyond just being kids, Young Rich and Dangerous was a great record they did after being kids and Jermaine did everything for that album.  Da Brat was also dope when she first came out.  1492 was a near classic with solid contributions from Snoop and Warren G.

O.G.C. the Storm is my favorite sleeper under the radar East Coast album of all time.  I thought that was the best thing ever to come out of the whole Duck Down/Boot Camp family.  I also loved the banger, "How Many Emcee's"

Cash Money - I never listened to, liked, bought, played, one single song that they released in their entire existence.

cash money > no limit

timbaland is a better producer than JD musically, but he wasn't the boss that dre or puffy were

I just never felt them as rappers...now Organized Noise I really liked their production...they also were the 1st producers to work on Kurupts "Streetz" album although only 2 songs made it on

one guy I wont ever give props to is Jay-z...probably the most overrated MC maybe ever...to mention him in the same breath as Nas as a lyricist the way most of NYC did is a crime

Salute 🫡 !! Yeah we agree on East and West and especially the 97-98 period between Death Row and the Resurgence

Yeah I’ve always been a Nas guy all the way up thru the Good Life album (never Jay-Z, fucc Jay-Z, most over-rated rapper in history)

But you’re sleeping on Andre 3,000 go back and listen to the 7 or so Outlast cuts I posted above

OutKast first 3 or 4 albums are all top tier stuff. Classics on classics

I won't go into too much detail but I've been working on the facts surrounding '2001' for a future video. Bottom line in Feb '99 Dr. Dre announced his new album which was 'Chronic 2000.' Unfortunately, as you guys know Suge dropped Suge Knight Represents: Chronic 2000 May 4th, 1999. This lead to a lawsuit by Dre in July '99 against his former labels Priority and Death Row Records. MTV News article dated 10.13.1999 which includes this excerpt "Since then, Dre changed the album's title to "Chronic 2001" and "Dr. Dre." The album will now be called "Dr. Dre 2001," according to a representative from Interscope Records, which distributes Dre's label, Aftermath Records." There are various promotional images on the net that show "Chronic 2001." They ultimately decided to drop the "Chronic" and of course it is called '2001.'

Public records shows Suge and team filed for trademarks on both “Chronic 2000” and “Chronic Two Thousand” - with all the fallout from Dre leaving Death Row Records it is my take that they went ahead and just used 2001 to move ahead and avoid any issue. This is from the Rolling Stone article -  "The troubles started once Dre and Aftermath began putting together their album, Chronic 2001. “After their album had finished its chart run, Priority suddenly decides not to honor their end of the agreement, and threatened to sue us if we used the title,” King elaborates. “At first we just laughed, but it’s serious business. This album is coming out, and it will be called Chronic 2001. With this lawsuit, we’re just making sure that nothing impedes that process. If we have to, we’ll just seize all profits from their album.” “It’s too bad,” he concludes. “You’d think there would be some sort of honor between men, especially men that once worked together.”" --- when Priority says "we'll just seize all profits from their album" and this is your comeback album... they just took the threat and moved along as it was too big of a gamble ... I think it worked out because the album sold well, STILL DRE was fire and it is a classic!

What I hate most is the album cover itself. I get it is a chronic leaf, which tied into the Chronic... but I really hated that it was so basic. I have a pretty soldi collection of promotion materials, CD, cassette, vinyl, etc. I don't hate it but I hate the album cover more than the name lol.

What did you guys think of the 25th anniversary release? https://interscope.com/products/dr-dre-2001-25th-anniversary-edition-2lp?srsltid=AfmBOopJhC-p01VhsOEEAwGEvkdc0ed8u4W7VUY8hO18Nl2l0j_rZuel

BTW, Suge Knight spoke about the above topic on Collect Call in the past.
