Leaked where I ain’t d/l a album I years or found a descent site that use to be up or even use torrents any more etc…

Feel out of place lately I notice more artists are putting joints out that ain’t on Streaming services like 6:16 In LA I had to rip it from YouTube  to get it on my playlist to rock to… I need to get back on game I guess …


That’s because streaming is horse shit. Biggest ripoff for artist. Really just a big fuck you to the artist which has just become the standard. Hope more vinyl cd tape exclusive releases

i feel so sad that marsha is trying to promote her album with her own amateur effort. it's a shame for dr. dre and interscope records.

Meh 😑 so strange.  Didn’t Dre produce a Michelle classic R&B album or JJ Fad R&B album in the NWA dayz?   Imagine like a Dre produced Nate Dogg album.  Would be unbelievable to see Dre go all in on an R&B effort.  I guess he tried with Truth Hurtz and aside from that DJ Quik gem it didn’t really work.

Maybe the Marsha album isn’t any better than Truth Hurts album was and we aren’t missing anything?  Just thinking out loud

Dre only produced 3 songs on Truth Hurt's album (he mixed the majority of it) whereas he's involved in the production of every song on Martha's shot. There's a difference

On first listen I found the album ok. There’s nothing really memorable that sticks out though to me maybe cause the beats switch a lot on most tracks in the middle and they are quite short like only 4-5mins long to be doing that. Quite a lot of hiphop samples caught some Illmatic, CREAM in there. Slowish, sort of like lounge music throughout for like a posh dinner party. The beats are good with lots of instruments and lots of variation. A bit too much warbling and crooning for me though rather than lyrics - long notes and “ba da ba ba-ing” though out.
1. Smoke - probably the most hiphop sounding track
2. Tunisian nights - the ba da ba ing begins - Nas sample
3. One night stand we heard before is ok
4. Cloudy with a chance of real- I’ve heard this sample before but can’t place it
5. Greedy - second hiphop sounding I heard bits of an OutKast song on the saxophone at 2.09
6. Self/ care - I don’t really think much of this skippable
7. Wet - this had a sample we heard from one of Beanie Sigels earlier albums
8. Thrill her - samples Wu Tang CREAM at the beginning guess this is what she played Meth
9. The greatest we heard already
10. Best I could starts off Spanish sounding
11. Has elements of say yes from first floetry album another famous  hip hop sample I can’t remember(ba da ba di yada ya) and another sample from the original Men in Black forget me not sample.

really nice album pretty much what I expected 8)

hot takes - Greedy is the best track. didn't enjoy the last one too much as it sounds like a Dem Jointz loop.

not sure there will be an instrumental release considering how Marsha's vocals are such a prominent part of the production.

but listening to this makes me think of that clip of Dre remixing the Marvin Gaye joint, same kinda vibes. i'd love an instrumental album like that or a Dre presents vintage STEMS kinda deal with him revisiting classic records which is sort of what this is.

Pretty cool album on the first listen.  Nice to see Dre actually release something on Aftermath.  Pretty sure it won't be a huge hit, but cool anyways.

I know this forum is focused on rap music, but people need to evolve their musical tastes a bit. Sooner or later. Dre took his production to another level, the sound on this album is nuts!
