Compton A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre (Tracklist + Artwork)

[Matty]

yeah i missed mike elizondo's name.

it looks like dre just did this album in a few months just to get some more cash with the wind of nwa movie.

i would prefer to hear 15 year's work detox that he think it wasnt good enough.

WE HEARD IT AND A MAJORITY OF IT WASNT UP TO HIS STANDARDS

he just scared that it won't do an impact like chronic and 2001.

this compton album wont make an impact too, he just had to do more cash.

dre couldn't improve himself in late 10 years, nobody wants to hear another "still d.r.e." type of piano beat.

and dre quit inventing new sounds and changing the game.

this compton album will be an hip-hop album. thats all.

i wouldn't be so quick to write this off man, Dre himself says it's bananas, clearly better than anything he came up with in the 'Detox' era and Quik used the words 'brilliant' and 'the future' of music to describe it.

the only thing that irks me is we'll never hear a lot of brilliant Detox tracks that don't fit this type of vibe - ie club bangers and concepts more in line with released Dre material in the 'Detox' period, only much better.

dre himself says it's bananas because he has to sell it dude, what would you expect him to say? yeah quik said brilliant, xzibit said its best, snoop said its legendizzle bla bla bla. i heard same about many many wack albums. its promotion. if this movie didn't come up dre wouldnt release any album because it became a myth and everybody was expecting it to make an impact like chronic and 2001. but now dre has a reason to release an album, not to change the game and raise the level, he had to make a soundtrack for the movie, thats all. he has no weight on his shoulders.

wish it will be bananas. we will see

fair enough, but you can't deny that dre is obsessed about his musical legacy. does he need any more money? not in several lifetimes. he's really under no obligation to put an album out unless it feels right to him. the whole 'Compton' thing seemed to be the direction that 'Detox' was morphing into anyway, if you go by the later sessions before this movie went into development.

[LAC/EASTSIDE]

Dreis selling this shit like it's going to be another classic but I doubt it will. Dre usually takes forever to make albums and it seems he did this shit in a short span. You can expect a solid album but this isn't going to be near the level of Chronic or 2001.

seems they were working on this for the best part of a year and we know of at least one track brought back from the 'Detox' sessions. way more than long enough. if anything, a long time in production is a bad thing, Quik made classic albums in less than a month. it's good to be focused and capture an energy of a certain period than shit drag on and on with endless tweaks and changes, just shows there was no clear direction in the first place (Detox).

1 yr? My point exactly. Quik isn't releasing an album. We're talking about Dr. Dre.

he needs money because of his legacy, he wants to be the musician who earns most every year, that's an enough reason for him to make more money, am i wrong?

i don't think that compton album will be bad. but it won't make an impact, that's what im saying.

quik released good hip-hop albums, even classics.

but till today dre released revolutions.

the type of money this album will make is insignificant compared to his latest business ventures, especially if you take into account money sunk into it's (and Detox) development over the years. i don't think money is a factor for Dre any more, he's more than set for life. he could have released several albums by now if that was a way to make money. his legacy is all about the quality of music he puts out, he's said it enough times and that's why we never got 'Detox'.

Dr. Dre is releasing an album. Not Dj Quik. Dre has a different way of going bout things. This time around, it seemed that he decided to release something to go along with the movie. He decided to sell it as if it's his 3rd album but it really isn't.

i definately agree with you, what i meant was, dre made 2 albums and they changed the game, they did revolutions in hip-hop. we can't compare with quik. quik just did good hip-hop albums, thats all.

i listen 1st song (talk about it) right now, and i remember how i felt when i listend to 1st song (the watcher) of 2001.

[Sccit]

it's good to be focused and capture an energy of a certain period than shit drag on and on with endless tweaks and changes

on-point.....that's how chronic and doggystyle was made as well. dre said he knocked out 4 songs with eminem in their very first studio session, and 3 of them made the album. it's all about capturing the moment, and it seems like dre did that.

[PLANT]

Is anyone else streaming this right now?  3 songs in, sounds fucking fantastic!!!!

[Sccit]

haha great to see some old names reappearing! its like 2001 all over again
