Quote from: Sccit on October 12, 2015, 01:33:00 PMit's already gold....doesnt have a proper video, proper single, no tracks allowed on youtube. with any sort of promotion, this would easily be 3x platinum by now....it's obvious that dre didn't do this for notoriety. In the Dre/Premier Pharmacy episode that I posted in the other thread, Dre alludes on the lack of a proper single on Compton. He said that he used to be concerned with it, but the way that the industry is now changed all of that.~35 minute markHe doesn't really care about singles anymore, he just wants to make good music.

I don't get all the complaints about it. Before Compton came out, I was listening to Crack a Bottle -"I'll be damned, just fucked around and crashed my Benz.Driving around with a smashed front endLet's cash that one in.Grab another one from out the stableThe Monte Carlo, El Camino or the El DoradoThe hell if I know.Do I want leather seats or vinyl?Decisions, decisionsGarage looks like Precision Collision."Just glad DRE didn't come out and rap about his low-riders and blunts anymore - he's on some grown man shit. I think people are missing the KUSH tracks but Dre is 50 mayne... doesn't need to rap about that stuff.fair enough, but vocally he sounds better on crack a bottle than on most of the Compton albumno problem, I can definitely see the influence on that one track...I agree about his vocals they sounded better in the past but he is 50 years old so I understand...I dont particularly care for the guests featured, not really impressive when you think about it although Em was very decent on his song

How do you get a stream link like that?I wanna download the Abstract Radio shows
Dre ruined his legacy. .worst album along his worst sales/downloads...Very much a forgettable effort .
lol any1 mentioning sales is retarded....it went gold without a video or a single. that has to be a first in history.

In 1996, UGK's Ridin' Dirty went gold without any promotion, single and videos.Dre going Gold in this day & age is still an astonishing performance considering how hard it is to go gold and how fast he did it, but him dropping the album around the release of Straight Outta Compton, and the viral campaigns definitely helped him.
