Anyone else feel really disappointed about this album? 16 year wait for this? Granted I don't listen to much hiphop these days but I thought the album was utter trash. I wondered if it was because I just am not into rap anymore, so I decided to re-listen to The Chronic and 2001 albums, which I haven't done so in about 5+ years probably and I felt like they were as fresh as ever.
Dr. Dre, so disappointed in you. |
I'm not as negative as you but it is pretty spotty. A couple of good licks - Kendrick Lamar and Jill Scott. I found Snoop's bits disappointing. I stopped listening to some tracks altogether - one by the Game. |
No other reviews? Where are all you hardcore fans who couldn't wait to see the NWA movie? |
Loved the movie but...

Saddened by his abuse to Michel'le. Will not support him, although I was a fan in the 90's. |
at least you're honest Where are the rest of you soccer moms who claimed to love gangsta rap? |
Funny, the Game's was one of my favorites. Pure west coast. |
That was so terrible. Honestly, the only person that's really holding down that west coast, weed smoking, g-shit is YG and DJ Mustard. |
Uh...Kendrick Lamar? |
no - tries to be too lyrical in a new york mold. I think he's very overrated. He's not as good as top new york lyricists nor as much a guilty pleasure as straight gangster rappers. I don't feel like smoking a huge blunt and cruising in a low-rider when I listen to Kendrick - and if a west coast artist doesn't make you feel like that...then they have failed. |
Totally disagree. Only person in NY that is "currently" holding it down is maybe J Cole. Rap is in a very bad place. KL is a breath of fresh air. Lyrically, he reminds me of Pac. Maybe that's why I love him so much. I am from Compton so I could be biased but I feel like home when I listen to him. Beats, words, even his unknown artist features make me feel so Cali. |
