but, I'm gonna say this and this is the truth
if he dropped 2001 today, it wouldn't be as successful
the game has changed. snoop and cube and em don't sound the same anymore
neither does dre
which means doing the same thing will always fall short
you got to change it up to stay fresh
warren g just dropped a record too
how's that one in comparison? I wouldn't know, because I haven't heard it

Dre's albums aren't really about Dre rapping though so I was just kind of comparing album quality to album quality.
Warren G's new record, or at least My House, is pretty terrible. I don't get why he names his tape after the Regulate album, maybe my favourite album of all time, and then doesn't keep the G Funk style.

I probably wasn't born when Scarface came out. I still think it's a cracking film. Alright let's not talk a different time. Nipsie Hussle - Hussle In The House, Mac Lucci - Cali Life, the entire Game LAX album. I loved those because they have the kind of sound I like. I don't think I'm really "different". My favourite top 3 rappers are 2pac, NaS and I go back and forth but right now probably Warren G. Not exactly some underground unknown guys. When I started to like 2pac every second dude on the planet loved 2pac. That just kind of switched to other people and I kept liking him and went into the music more. When I was like 12 I wasn't thinking about being different, I was thinking "Fuck you Playback FM, Radio Los Santos for life".
It's not just old school music I like, it's just mainly. Half the world prefers music from the 90s though. uh-oh was saying Dre's on an "Atlanta" thing. I'm not really sure of what that means specifically but I'm more into the "California" thing.
It's the same as Ludacris for me. I absolutely LOVED Word of Mouf, but now his songs are complete and utter shite cause he's "trying to stay relevant". I suppose Destroyers right though in saying that although we all love 2001 and whatever other albums, they wouldn't have the same commercial success these days so what would be the point in making them?
