funny because after Dre left Death Row his sound was not West Coast influenced at all... but some fans keeps asking for it... weird

bullcrap! . every dr dre album has had more then 10 songs on it every time . so you are wrong . it will least have 15 songs .who said any of the songs that have leaked are even on still on detox? no one . so you need to shut up & wait to see what the real tracklistening looks like before you judge . because you are just presuming.
-
Too much Eminem thus far for my taste...
That said, I'm still anticipating this "Detox"
-
Dre dont need to make a Radio album... and thats where this is heading... theres plenty of bullshit on the radio why be like drake and whoever else wack ass... make somethin thats GOOD! fuck makin music for teenage girls

Talk about over exaggerating, eminem is on 2 songs that we know of (I need a doctor, die hard). How is that "too many"? Lol
-
West is wack right now, thats the reason, they living in the past and shit...
-
1. G-funk is dead!
2. How the hell have we heard 50% of the album?
yeahh and the 12 Track shit isn't even official-from what i read he's doing it all over and scrapped his 12 step idea.
Just wait for the album and stop making predictions unless you work directly with Dre!!!
Anotha nonsense thread
-
what is a west coast album ?? OMG...and yall are writin on the WEST COAST FORUM!
Go and listen to ICe-t's and WC's albums..or even DOGG POund albums...to get the picture how a west coast record should sound!
if Dre makes a new album...i wanna hear some dope ass hardcore gangsta shit!!!!
and no ,chronic 2001 was not radio friendly...it was still gangsta and dope and had dope guests! ....but DETOX as far as i know will have eminem jay z and a lot of others..that has nothin to do with WEST !
I have a feeling..and usually im rite! there will be lady gaga on detox :))..instead of king t,ice cube mc ren and others!
-

i see some people do understand!:) my point exactly!
-
2001 IS radio friendly...
-
well thats the thing. Dr.Dre is Bigger than West Coast music, in 2011 only the fans on dubcc are expecting an album with G funk and 90's hiphop flavas, people moved on, outside of this forum people are expecting something that will change the sound of Hiphop once again, not some throwback tracks with a bunch of has been... you guys needs to understand that hiphop is bigger than what it used to be , its now blending with pop, rock and other genre, wich is why the guy has to do music with an open mind and not focus on something that will make him flop. its a business.

true! but....a lot of us still wanna hear some gangsta shiit!because everybody nowdays doin POP..look at SNoop Doggg!
Since this is his last album....i dont wanna hear dre say goodybe with a gay ass album! but he need to say goodbye with a REAL HIP HOP ALBUM!....fuck record sales...he is rich enough!!!
Then maybe he need to do 2 albums! 1 for the real hip hop heads and for the real g's...and another one for teenage girls!
so whats it gonna be????
sorry but songs like the watcher still dre murder inc la niggas and others are not RADIO FRIENDLY! WTF!!! radio friendly is Rihanna and Drake!
he need to change the sound of hip hop,BUT STILL KEEP IT GANGSTA! DONT FORGET ABOUT THE G! THATS MY POINT!
well..okey..i hope there at least1 real gangsta track on the album then!
sorry but i dont like tha fact that the real hip hop sound died! and that everything is electronic and music lost her soul! so since a legend like DRE from NWA comin back..i hope we hear some real music!...
i so wish eazy-e was still alive! :(
-
this is how it should sound!!!!

I give up...
-
I give up...
ha ha..its all good :)
its just that i need a doctor was a big shock for me (in a negative way)..hearin a new DRE song after 10 years!
lets just wait for the album and see what happens! but i dont have a good feeling about this!
-
I get your point though, i just dont see Dr.Dre talking about Guns , weed and gangsta stuff, when dude is almost 50 and living in a mansion , and I always find that he sound forced whenever he raps about that, it doesnt suit him anymore, so whats left for him is the sound. and its kind of bvious that dude is enjoying his business deals more than the music, he probably knows that he doesnt fit in anymore
-
"Radio friendly" means something that the mainstream wants to hear. 2001 was radio friendly because studio gangsters were popular back then. Drake never would have been popular back then, because his music wasn't radio friendly in the 90s.

Dr. Dre put out The Chronic, The Chronic 2001 both with his "West Coast" sound. Period.
The word from his old friend "THE DOC" he mentioned Dre was going to a MAINSTREAM sound and not following his signature sound. You can google those articles if you want.
Let's not all forget when Dr. Dre put out that first Aftermath release (I don't even remember the name - he was doing the tango or some shit) and it bombed. His wife told him to go back to his gangsta sound and his Chronic 2001 blew up.
So, I'm sure Dr. Dre is going to be smart about this. If he does a mainstream album, he better be careful. Will it satisfy all his old fans? Who knows. There is a new generation of people out there buying music. I think he's trying to please both sides. I would say he's under pressure.
What he should have done is dropped 2-3 albums over the last 10 years and get off this ego shit. He probably has 300 tracks in the vaults, but Dr. Dre doesn't release old music (another ego bullshit attitude). Shit, he should put out a 3CD album and pack up his bags.

Old fans are older now they wont buy music, New fans/kids will

what is this "west coast sound"? . Dre made G Funk popular. Other west coast rappers copied that style, then he abandoned that sound completely. 2001 sounds nothing like The Chronic musically. So its pretty stupid to be talking about a west coast sound when Dre has come with a new sound each album.
-
studio gangsters ok...but gangsta rap WAS NEVER radio friendly..because its never on the radio!...

wrong! chronic 2001 was still gangsta rap! it was gangsta music but different then the old school gangsta rap!
and now its time for the new gangsta sound! somebody need to bring back the g shit! :) record sales dont matter cuz nobody is buying albums in 2011!!but if u make real dope album the real hip hop fans will support it and buy it! kids listen ro drake and rihanna they dont wanna listen dre doin the same dance music! do what u do best...fuck what people wanna hear!
thats why i like Cube...he went a little comercial but always kept it gangsta!

You speak the truth ... I think people need to live n 2011 not 2001 (I know it came out in 99). Mainstream now is 100% diff than ten years ago ... and I'm sorry, but in the main gangsta rap is dead. You can't sell shit with it other than to dubcc fans.
-
I am with a lot of you on this one.... What is a west coast album? Dre has a new sound for every album he has released. Maybe with each album he re-invents a new westcoast sound if you want to look at it that way. I have never considered Dre to be just a westcoast musician. He is known as the best producer of all time in many peoples opinion because he produces a sound that is his own yet is attractive to hip hop fans across the country and world. We know nothing of Detox yet. I am willing to bet "I Need a Doctor" and "Kush" won't even be on the final tracklist. He will keep dropping teasers until the album is ready to go. He has never disappointed and I don't think he will with this project either. For those of you saying WC or Dogg Pound is west coast shit...I hope Dre doesn't go west coast then....I want an album with more than 2 or 3 slappers on it. Pop that bubble you guys are stuck in. You guys have gotten so used to unoriginal sample based synthesized beats you can buy at Best Buy you can't appreciate true organic music with little or no sampling. All original keyboards, guitar and bass and shit ALWAYS sounds doper than anything on your bitch ass bubble gum hip hop playlists.

are you kidding? Gangsta rap took over the radio in the 90s. If Drake came out in the 90s he would've never had a hot single.

Gangsta rap is called so because of its TOPICS. Blunts, bitches, gang signs, guns etc. That's different from the sound of the music, aka production. What is this west coast sound you keep talking about? Its funny you bring up Cube because he used Bomb Squad production for his first album. And as far as dance music, Next Episode and Lets Get High got the party cracking back in 99. And both of those songs happened to be about partying.
-
I agree, dre shouldve put out 2-3 cds in this 10 year waiting period. We should be waiting for detox vol 3 by now
And for the people mentioning dre not using his signature sound on that first aftermath album, his 96-98 sound was fuckin depressing. Suicide music.
-
what happened to making good music and not just trying to appeal to the mainstream?, I dont care if it sounds westcoast, I just want it to be good, but from what i've heard it sounds like its going to be a disappointment. Things may be different now than it was in 99 but its not in a good way. Mainstream hip hop is probably the worst its ever been with everyone just following trends and sounding the same, if that is what Detox will sound like then I doubt it will be good

reall hip hop is not what u hear on the radio! never was!
-
How do you think Death Row became the biggest hip hop label of its time? By not getting airplay? :D
Most of us here grew up on gangsta rap. If it hadn't been getting airplay we wouldn't have heard it and we wouldn't be here now. You are delusional to think otherwise.
-
How do you think Death Row became the biggest hip hop label of its time? By not getting airplay? :D
how do u think NWA sold 1 million tapes???
with radio play??
u think radio played gangsta gangsta and fuck the police???
come on
get yo facts right man
IT WAS YO MTV RAPS THAT SPREAD IT! AND NOT RADIO!
+ its a well known fact that radio stations never did and still dont support WEST COAST MUSIC ! even the radio stations from the west be playin more the music from the south then the WEST!!!!!!
-
You're an idiot. We all grew up on gangsta rap. I didn't even have fucking mtv man. This argument is stupid and useless, as anyone who was around in the 90s would know.

yo mamma!
the only thing radio play is maybe snoop and dre..or the game..other then that u will never hear gangsta rap or west coast artist on the radiio! not even ice cube! (special shows don't count)im talkin about normal airplay...
the things im sayin is WHAT ARTIST TOLD US! im not makin this up! ...wtf is wrong with u!
i grew up with NWA so i know!
u even have tracks frm snoop and mc eiht talkin about what does it take to get a record played...ice-t even has a song called RADIO PLAY!
u suck!
i was around in the 90s so i dont know what the fuck u talkin about!
and im out!
-
I'm sure in your little fantasy world KDAY and KMEL didn't exist. Julio G doesn't exist. Chuy Gomez doesn't exist. Neither do all the many gangsta rap singles that ppl reminisque over. Hell nah, Gin and Juice wasn't a hit record. Neither was Gangster's Paradise or the shitton of other singles. No Pac or Cube songs ever got any airplay. We must be imagining all of those.

i dunno where u grew up but in L.A.... power 106 and 92.3 the beat was playing Snoop "Gin And Juice/Whats My Name", Dr. Dre "G Thang/Dre Day/Let Me Ride", Ice Cube "It Was a good day, Check Yo Self (Remix), You Know How We Do It, Bop Gun", DJ Quik "Safe + Sound", Warren G "Regulate", 2Pac "Keep Ya Head Up/I Get Around/California Love/How Do U Want It", Too Short "Gettin It", Mack 10 "Backyard Boogie", etc...
All those songs were on the PLAYLIST not just mix shows... meaning played regularly like all the trash songs are played now days...
but yeah I agree Dre should stick to his roots.. catering to the "young audience" means you're selling out to be popular.. thats wack

Old fans are older now they wont buy music, New fans/kids will
i keep reading this argument, but it doesn't make sense. the younger people are more familiar with new techology, so it's easier for them to download

yeah in my experience its the older people who are more likely to buy albums, the younger fans are into downloading, they might buy the single via download but not the whole album
-
i know they played snoop and dre ..and coolio lol.....but im talkin in general! not just the 90s...2000+ also!
some just dont wanna get my point and act stupid!

-

No you weren't. I said gangsta rap was radio friendly in the 90s and you spent a page disagreeing
gangsta rap WAS NEVER radio friendly..because its never on the radio!...

You don't have a point. You made an idiot statement and now you're backtracking. Just admit you were wrong. And how old are you? You sound like a teenager.

just because they played snoop and dre and a few other doesnt mean its radio friendly! specially radio stations outside of the west coast!

but yeah I agree Dre should stick to his roots.. catering to the "young audience" means you're selling out to be popular.. thats wack
By the time the west coast was really poppin off my me and my fam. had moved out from L.A. to Phoenix, AZ and i remember the radio here in AZ (it was Power 92.3 back then) was playing all that G-funk, west coast gangster rap that was blowing up. I remember waking up in the morning to my alarm clock radio and Eazy-E's "Real Compton City G's" would be on ("Compton" instead of "Muthafukin'", it was edited as hell but that's when I first heard it, that and on The Box). To add to the list above, here are some other song I remember getting played on the radio. Celly Cel "It's going Down", Coolio "Fantastic Voyage", Dru Down "Mack of the Year", Twinz "Round and Round", Dove Shack "Summertime in the LBC", Mack 10 "Foe Life", Daz "In California", Snoop "Snoop's Upside Ya Head", Domino "Ghetto Jam", Bone Thugs~N~Harmony (Not west coast but had that sound and on Ruthless) "Thuggish Ruggish Bone", "1st of the Month", etc, etc. Not all of the songs were G-funk or hardcore westcoast rap songs but they were the most radio friendly songs from the "west coast" sounding albums they were off of, so yeah the radio was playing west coast music and that was here in AZ.

Now as far as Dre goes, I don't think what people mean or want is for him to make another G-Funk album but I think what we really want is for him to continue to evolve the west coast's sound. And for those who don't know what people mean by a "west coast" sounding album when talking about Dr. Dre then I don't know what to tell you, it should be sparkling clear, if it's not then I don't know why you're on DUBCNN.com posting about Dr. Dre's next album and the significance that it could have on the sound of the west coast that he helped create. It shouldn't be all on Dre to do it but lets face it, he has more influence in rap music than pretty much any other rapper or producer in rap no matter what coast we're talking about, Dre drops an album and trends change, period! So from Ruthless and NWA, to Death Row and The Chronic / Doggeystyle to Aftermath and 2001 (and other music/albums he was a part of in that period like Last Meal, Restless, Chin Check, Hello, Busta's Break Ya Neck, Em's first couple of albums, etc.) Dre has obviously produced a lot of great music and only part of it has that old classic Death Row "G-Funk" sound as far as borrowing from Parliament/Funkadelic and similar groups. Dre's sound was evolving, some of it had an updated "west coast" sound and the rest were just some dope ass beats/production, so we expect Dre to once again take it to another level and give us the next chapter of the "west coast" sound.
Unfortunately, it seems like Dre got stuck in a rut with those simplistic piano-driven beats with those huge kicks and snares, everyone and their mama is doing these knock off boring Dre beats now, so when Dre comes out with his "new music" (from Detor or not, doesn't matter) and it's more of the same boring shit mixed in with music that's heavy on the pop sound, people are going to be unhappy. It doesn't mean Dre needs to go sample "Knee Deep" again, people need to get off that because doing G-Funk from the '90s is not what we mean (at least not me), but he needs to take it back to his roots as far as making some hardcore rap beats/production and continue to push the sound that he helped create on the west coast; he can have some funk in there if he wants to but make it that next level shit, the shit that we expect from Dr. Dre. If Dre has nothing left in his creative tank then I guess we're going to keep getting the type of music what we've been getting lately but if the is one more game-changing album (rap album) left in him then lets hear it Dr. Dre!

well i was just wondering what some consider a westcoast sound. some reviewers said 2001 doesn't sound west coast so
