The Chronic is just pure art to me. That was Dre's genius -- to take violent, misogynist subject matter, really heinous stuff on the surface, and turn it into art.

A Dre album has NEVER been about lyrics. And 2001 had some of the wackest lyrics I've heard.I can't really see how you would call it art either. Dre's talent is making music that BUMPS. But as far as musical expression his productions have always been very simple and basic.

Akon? Kobe? Auto-Tune?Sounds just like the rest of the commercial bubblegum pop playing in a JD sports store.About as lyrical as a Sarah Palin speech, some basic piano keys, a hook designed for cheese-clubs where people cant even smoke.This is for Jimmy Iovines target audience, nothing for the b-boys.I thought Dre set hip-hop trends, now he just following.Hopefully it's just a dud amongst an album full of bangers.
Quote from: From Dre-Day to Helter Skelter on November 16, 2010, 06:02:25 AManyway, i think this is better than Under pressure, but it sounds like a 'hey let's make a single that sounds like the other songs on the radio' song.i'd say it doesn't sound like Dre's signature 'westcoast' sound.anyway, i know opinions differ, but i find the praise for this a little weird, when looking at some of the complaints about Dre's other 'recent' work. not saying that you were complaining though.it's not what i want to hear.i prefer something that sounds closer to the stuff that Dre has done for other artists in the last few years.Dre can do much betterthe piano part is alright, but Dre has much better instrumentals wich piano in it, wouldn't you agree?I agree with all the stuff you said here...To me it's basically a Dre piano beat, but sped up a bit, some sort of club effects, and make it sound like a cross between a regular Dre piano beat crossed with any hit on the radio right nowI mean, it's way better than the stuff I hear on the radio, but to me, this is still just a jump-on-the-bandwagon thing of putting Akon on a hook, get some autotune, have a faster tempo for the clubI was hoping for something more... HipHop I guess, though it's pretty cool, it's not wack or anything, just kind of conservative.Stuff like Flashy and Topless were better to me - harder and more HipHop

so its the beat from the lebron beats ad! i think i preferred it in instrumental form (you could hear it real clearly if you listened closely in the ad). not a fan of akon on here...the song sounds a little messy vocal wise and empty with the beat (unfinished/unmixed?) but still very bumpable cause of the head cracking clap sounds and epic piano.dre's verse is also not memorable and extremely short. now don't get upset detox fanboys (i'm supposed to be one of the biggest right?), just giving some serious opinion on this. also, what's with the version that's almost 4 minutes long and instrumental stuff going on at the end. anyway, i'm calling unfinished/unmixed cause as it is this a serious step down for a dre single. as a buzz track, more acceptable.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good single in today's market, but for the motherfuckin DOCTOR, I think it could have been better. Whatever though, after Under Pressure, this IS Still Dre p2. And ya, Nate on that hook would have been IT for me. Oh and keys are the shit, fuck if it's "outdated".nah man, this is song should be called 'i want radioplay'Do you really expect a non-pop track? Most of dre's songs are targeted at radioplay. Lets get High, Next Episode, Bad Intentions etc.

That's why I'm not disappointed in this song. People tend to overrate 2001 without going back and listening to the actual songs and the quality of the lyrics. Obviously this isn't on the level of a Still Dre or Forgot About Dre, but after listening to it a few times I think its better than several 2001 cuts.

And i said right from the very start, detox is a title and possibly a loose theme for the album but if cats thinkin dre was not going to have some club/weed shit on his album, y'all sleepin.

N.W.A didn't sound like the Chronic, the Chronic didn't sound like 2001, etc.

It samples Funk extensivelyLol @ people making something deeper than it is.
