I just revisited this album, and it’s quality throughout.

The intro is a banger and the rest of the album holds up.

Was it simply because it didn’t sound like The Chronic or 2001?

i think compton was a dope album with a lot of growth and substance lyrically

but the hype for detox was so big that unless he dropped the greatest album ever, people were bound to be disappointed

I remember how hyped I was to see Paak was all over the album

Kendrick with multiple amazing showings too

Deep Water
All In A Day's Work
Darkside/Gone

Talking To My Diary at the end of the NWA film

Dope album, right?

Well I always loved it from the jump and championed the project on here from day 1

Why did Dre hate his fans.

It was aight. It's better when you accept it's more of a soundtrack/accompanying piece to Straight Outta Compton instead of Detox.

Didn't hate it but it's forgettable next to the other two

Cause it wasn't good

Music was at a different time when it released

This was so fire

Because of huge expectations from his previous work. This is classic Dre tho

Dre f***ed himself by not putting out any album after 2001 and hyping up Detox to be his “grand finale”

Compton was good for what it was, but it was never gonna be able to live up to the legacy set by The Chronic and 2001 thanks to the Detox lore.

yeah its a dope album
just different from chronic and 2001 because those are just straight bangers the entire tracklist this album more mellow at times

YOOOO

Compton would’ve gotten a better reception if Dre had dropped in 2003 with Detox and another album in 2011/2012 with the material he had recorded then for the fourth iteration of Detox.

His perfectionist mentality hurt him more than helped.

It's a great album, although its no Chronic or 2001

Anderson and Kendrick stole the show on the album. Album was supposed to help launch Jon Connor, but ended up launching Anderson Paak instead.

Overproduction ruined it. The unfamiliar cast of features was a nice touch but it doesn't feel like a "Compton" album so a lot of s*** about it felt rushed and all over the place. Kenny mvp

Then there’s Justus falling deeper into actual obscurity

don’t think people hate it as much as they haven’t even listened to it in 9 years

didn’t even realize other people actually felt a way about it

Overproduced to s***.

Only two songs left an impression on me:

He was never good honestly. His contributions did the minimum to be good enough for the album.

Dre been looking for a white guy/light skinned dude that’s younger than Em that can take over hip-hop again. Justus failed and now he’s trying Ez Mil.

There’s something about the names these Dre protégés pick that really adds to them being “literally who”

It’s like you’re supposed to know who the artist with that name is but you have never once heard of them before
