I don't get all the complaints about it.

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

So Dr. Dre has shouted out WC on both 2001 and Compton: A Soundtrack, and still WC has yet to rap over a Dre beat - a damn shame if you ask me.Also, anyone notice how on 'Loose Cannons', when Xzibit comes in with the lowrider sounds it almost like a continuation of the intro from 2001 (which featured Xzibit too)? Is 'Talking To My Diary' mixed a little too loudly on the CD? Sounds extra loud to me compared to the other tracks.

You niggas love making up conspiracy theories to give Dre credit for beats he didn't do. If he did the beat why wouldn't he accept credit for it when it just makes his resume look even more impressive for that 2000-2003 era?

After two months I can honestly say that I'm satisfied with Dr. Dres final album. I think it gets better the more you listen to it. Sonicly it's without a doubt the best produced album since GKMC. I mean this man is responsible for almost every aspect of hip hop related history. He was there from the beginning and still is able to compete with the young world with 50 years of age! Who else was able/will be able to do that?Only songs that are not at least 4/5 are the ones with Snoop. I think they're not as good as the rest of the album.Of course it will never top the original Chronic and 2001, but let's be honest, if you thought these two sound eras can be reproduced you're totally naive. And blame todays "hip hop" fans (listening to crap like Young Thug, Fetty Wap etc) for the lack of respect this album is getting. 10 years ago this shit would have sold 1 million copies the first week. RIP Detox and thank you Dr. Dre for your music career! Amazing finale along with the movie and everything. What's also a very nice move, is that he'll donate the money made off the album to Compton.
it'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.
