Sounds like Compton might not even go gold. It sank like the Titanic. Should have been himself on the album and would have sold millions.

I don't care what it sold, I spent my $$$ on it & I enjoy it. All that matters to me. In contrast, Drake , Future's mixtape is selling like hotcakes. Does that mean it's a masterpiece or does it just mean they ar popular?
Quote from: Rebel on September 20, 2015, 06:00:06 AMI must honestly admit, that after giving this album plenty of listens, that much of it is ahead of its time, indeed. I was worried that my early listens would be bias- and rightfully so- being a big Dr. Dre fan... I was just enjoying the music and hype, so I couldn't really critique objectively. Now; however, I can definitely see this as one day being revolutionary. Dre changed the game with his previous albums, an.d he'll do it again with this record. Sure, it'll take longer for this record to have an impact like that due to the lack of big stand-alone singles, as well as big featured guests (past and current). I've always believed that Dre/Aftermath/Interscope should have put more promo-marketing and effort behind this release (billboards/dvd/documentary-interviews...etc.), especially after waiting so long for this release- and being Dre's final LP. The hype should have been epic.The sales are evidence of the lack of effort backing this record. I still can't believe Dre's highly anticipated final record hasn't even gone gold yet! VERY DISSAPOINTING, even with today's leakage and low sales.Please elaborate what is so revolutionary about this album and how did change the game?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^does not really answer my question
Quote from: ICHI THE KILLER on October 01, 2015, 01:57:25 AM^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^does not really answer my questionJUST THE FACT THAT THIS ALBUM HAS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF BRIDGES AND BREAKDOWNS......THE BRIDGE IS A LOST ARTFORM IN THE CURRENT STATE OF HIP-HOP. IF THIS ALBUM WAS MARKETED MORE, HAD SINGLES, VIDEOS, ETC. YOU'D SEE THE COMMERCIAL ARTISTS GRAVITATING TOWARDS THIS FORMULA. IT'S SIMPLY NOT BEIN PUSHED ENOUGH TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE THAT IT HAS POTENTIAL TO.
Sounds like Compton might not even go gold. It sank like the Titanic. Should have been himself on the album and would have sold millions. They movie hyped it up and he sold 200k the first week...word got out the album wasn't true Dre and it's a flop. It's a fact. Sorry fellas. Dre fell off. Outside this forum it's been destroyed.Hopefully he learns like he did with that Aftermath first album. His wife gave him the best advise then. Be yourself. He did and blew up again. I guess he needs to be reminded.
