and it wouldve shit on Compton.
Go back over the old bootlegs, what was recycled, shelved etc.. and you could easily whip up an album that was far far superior to that weedplate. Don't you agree with me?
-
Some versions would've been cool.
-
Yeah but Dre seems to need to drop a brick every now and then in order to unleash something to make us forget about it after.
Back to back classics fill him with all kinds of angst whereas coming up off something that went wood means he can only win. I see you Dre.
-
Don’t know what you are talking about—Compton was flawless and on par with the Dre standard of quality. He didn’t do any promotion or videos for it I don’t know why...
Detox on the other hand had a great setup — “Kush” and “I Need A Doctor” were very popular songs even non headz were into... “Topless” was a great song. But other than that I can see why Dre scrapped it.

Most of detox leaks sounds bad to me.
-
"Kush" and "Topless" are better than anything on "Compton". I would've wanted to see that version of "Detox".
-
I take compton all Day
-
meh Under Pressure was supposed to be the single, song was wack
Topless and Shit Popped Off were nice though

Yeah, don't understand the hate for Compton. It was clear that Dre was more concerned with sound and less concerned with commercial success with Compton. It would have been nice to see him promote the album.

There were some great Detox leaks but also a lot of trash. I think it would have been a great album of course, but I’m really not sure if it could top Compton.
The Compton hate is annoying to me and I bet most of the people dissing it never even listened to it front to back so they don’t even understand what makes it a great album. If you’re not feeling the production or Dre’s flow, thats fine, but you can’t deny that the cohesiveness of the album, song transitions, and storytelling are top notch. There’s a lot of emotion put into the album that I can feel while l’m listening to it. It’s sort of similar to how I can feel Pac’s music when I listen to it.

always wondered who sings this hook... sounds like Governor to me but im not sure... damn that song is from 2005 and this beat is still hot and in my opinion one of the best "detox reference track"

Such a cop out way of saying there were no game changing bangers on there. Really don't get this idol worship people have for Dre like he doesn't drop bricks every now and then.
Simple test:
Is Compton closer to 2001/The Chronic or Aftermath Presents?
There is your answer. Take any metric from personal favorites, immediate impact, sales, street buzz, online chatter, promotion and support from the label or just the timelessness or era defining nature of the songs.
2001/Chronic had those factors in droves and thats what people expected. Aftermath bricked and people wrote Dre off whilst some hardcore fans said is what great and you had to really listen to it to get what Dre was doing as his production was so advanced and the features so tight. LOL.
Both of them were rush jobs and not upto his usual standards. Even Dre treats this album like a forgotten memory (see that recent Insta post) that was shoved out there as an escape route for the marketing vehicle that was Detox.
With that said:
Look out for Detox!

compton was a modern day classic
detox leaks lacked cohesiveness and had too much filler

No artist ever made me feel a song like Pac. For me Dre didnt even come close with any song.

When tracks are unfinished, it's hard to put a couple of songs against an entire album. I think there's plenty of detox that hasn't leaked that people would be in awe.
