i got about three or four keepers. its a good album but needs to be heard in its complete context kind of like kendricks newest album...i can honestly say this album just ever so slightly let me down.
i liked rap better when they didnt have to credit every faggot that comes in with a high hat or one liner as a producer or writer.

They don't if they're not there playboy

That's why it's so funny seeing people say this album is a grower "like 2001". With 2001 every week a different song was my favorite. With Compton it's a struggle to listen to it another week.
-
People comparing Compton to 2001 are just deluding themselves. 2001 is a truly timeless album, with the most striking and original West Coast production on just about any album ever made (besides those produced by DJ Quik).
What is Compton comparable to? I'd compare it to one of the many mediocre and forgettable DPGC releases. The sound quality is higher, and the production is a little more interesting, but the replay value is limited.

This.
I listened to the album a few times in the week or two when it was released but i havnt gone back to listen to it again since.
Ive already forgotten about it

calm yourself hoverhands, im entitled to my opinion just like your entitled to your cornball ass opinions...
that shit still go out here tho....it's somethin every1 can enjoy
definitely but do you agree its best when taken in as a complete body of work? (pause) i like compton when i can listen to the whole shit and that requires more time then i got sometimes. there is so much going on on that album ive heard it flac quality several times on seinhauer headphones, beats and a surround sound system and its amazing i just dont really see myself going back to this album as much is i hoped i would. im feeling scarface new album alot right now.
-
I totally disagree. Played the album in full again just yesterday and was pretty mesmerized by it - even after probably about 20 plays in full so far. Album of the year for me, easily.
-
I personally liked the production, but still not impressed. His NWA and Death row work blows this out of the water!

it definitely sounds like it was made 2 be played beginnin 2 end, but i can still play joints individually in my system and certain songs sound great when cruisin n smokin and can stand out on their own as well. i dont really play shit in my headphones unless im mixin tho. havent heard the scarface shit yet, i wanna peep that.

My opinion, best parts of the album are...
"Loose Cannons". I'm still pissed that the Xzibit part was so short and ended with Dre doing his best 1998 Slim Shady impersonation.
"Deep Water". Kendrick's flow was fuckin insane.
"Darkside". Dope fuckin track but unfortunately Dre rode the trend of stopping a track halfway through it and switching to another (I HATE THAT TREND BTW)
"Talking to My Diary". No explanation needed. The ending alone is worth the $11
" It's All On Me". Grown man music!
----
And the worst parts...
"Satisfiction". More like Anticipointment. Fuck man I would've been fine having 3 year old "Kush" over this bullshit
"Issues". The dynamic duo that once brought us Natural Born Killaz really scraped the bottom of the barrel here.
"For the Love of Money". This would've been a great mixtape track but uhhh...
---
For the most part everything else is mediocre or just not something I expect to be playing in 6 months...
"One Shot One Kill". Snoop doesn't sound like himself but him and Jon Connor went hard. Would've rather heard Dre rap his verse tho.
"Medicine Men". Hook is corny as shit but after that love letter that was "I Need a Doctor" I won't complain. Nice of Dre to use a clearly old Eminem verse.
"Another Day". I was looking forward to hearing Dre & Game together again but we have a song by 2 artist over a beat produced by 2 producers...Dre isn't any of the 4 people I'm referring to.
"Animals". Anderson .Paak featuring Dr. Dre. Basically 1 Dre verse and an extra looped hook. Would actually like this if there was a 2nd Dre verse.

says it all

agree, album got progressively worse and i barely want to listen to it vs older dre material. 'It's All On Me' remains a standout track, but not feeling the vibe overall. Dre clearly captured what he wanted to with the energy, but it's not much my cup of tea.

Reminds me of the interview with Suge, where Suge gets asked: "What would you do if you showed up at a party and saw Puffy, Snoop, and Dre?"
And Suge says: "I don't be going to those kinds of parties!"
-
To me this is one of the best albums ever made.. the way it is produced.. the way the verses are constructed.. that's all some next level shit. The bridges are incredible, best bridges since Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Great background vocals and hooks.
"Medicine Men"... Nice of Dre to use a clearly old Eminem verse.
Actually that Eminem verse is one of the last things that was recorded for the album. The original version of Medicine Man actually had an old Eminem verse but that song damn near didn't make the album. They took the beat out again and started doin' all the new shit on it, the orchestra shit that you hear durin' Em's verse and Anderson's bridge. They send the song back to Em and he did his new verse for it, which was just in time to make the final cut.
-
I too have to listen to the whole album to get a good feel for it...and because of this I only heard it a handful of times

Excuse me Wigga? He is entitled to an opinion even though I disagree with my King.

im still discoverin new things within the beats with every listen.. the layering is ingenious cant say that wit any other album thats come out over the past 5 years or so
-
I listened to a minute or 2 of prob 4-5 tracks. All sounded like watered down garbage.
If someone points me to a standout track I'll give it a listen.
-
ive been busy as fuck and havent heard this at all i wish i could ;) ;)

Not yet I threw up in my mouth a few times in the first 5-10 mins but I'm sure the Dre heads will get into it more than I did

youre a pretentious fag when it comes to judging music. You're basically all about nostalgia like another member who posts here. So because u bumped DPG during a period of your life where you were actually enjoying music witout overthinking it, those ealy 2000's DPG records resonate wit u, while great music like this goes over your head. Who does that remind u of?

No idea what you're talking about brodie

TL;DR your ears are faggots, shut the fuck up

I recognise myself as someone stuck in the 90's n early 2000's but I can't be the other person your referring to as I haven't even heard Compton n have yet to even comment on the album, instead taking a selfless yet slightly self righteous stance in relation to gangsta rap under the guise of a disinterested victim of corruption who sympathises with victims of gang banging culture who are growing up in environments and being misled about the cultures validity in society after being influenced by its depiction in popular music so as to be considered a source of entertainment rather than a serious issue that effects many youth in areas such as certain neighbourhoods in Compton creating perceptions of permanence within a culture where being subject to intimidation and corruption can turn a genuinely good natured kid into a potential victim or ruthless gangster with no outlet for their fears or aspirations as it would in turn have them labelled a square, snitch or bitch.
But I do recognise the validity of banging on wax after having the concept explained to me in an intelligent manner by CPO Boss Hogg....
Either way, I'm a slightly privilaged white Australian 30 something who could only ponder the effects of living in such a neighbourhood and would be fecitious if I were to dare assume I could relate in comparison to my own troubled youth.
