Compton streaming on iTunes right now (new dre joint)

[EtH]

I'm probably one of the biggest westcoast rap fans you'll find...I thought this was absolutely terrible.

All on Me was a great song, Talking to my Diary was good, outside of those two I didn't like anything. All ridiculously over produced. Half of the songs just switch to a new beat half way through for no reason at all. Guys like Snoop and Xzibit rapping on beats that completely don't go with how they sound. It all sounds so new school and technological too.

To be fair, half of you guys are probably Drake and Lil Wayne fans on here so that could be why you love it and I hate it. If you LOVED Chronic and 2001, and want to hear an album like those, don't listen to this. It couldn't be more opposite. It's pretty much exactly like how My House - Warren G and Nate Dogg, on a mixtape called Regulate G Funk Era Part 2, sounds absolutely nothing like fans of the original G Funk Era enjoyed.

I physically couldn't listen to For The Love of Money without saying "Fuck this shit" and looking up Bone Thugs version on Youtube. Dre is REALLY heavy on the guitars on this, and I couldn't help but thinking "If you're going to use guitars, why the hell aren't you doing it like you did in the absolute classic Beautiful but Deadly by DOC, which is one of Dre's best produced songs?

I dunno. As a guy who loved Chronic, loved 2001, and listens to NWA, Comptons Most Wanted, DOC, Westside Connection, Above The Law, BG and Drestah and all of the westcoast legends, this album was abysmal to me. A shame to cause with the movie coming out, and with the name of this album being called Compton, I was hoping to hear some of the music which put these kids from Compton on the map in the first place. I wanted to hear what got them to the big show but instead was met with what they think the 2015 rap fans want to hear. I'll still with my Souls of Mischief and Too $hort I guess.

If you want the old album, they will have them on iTunes. I don't comprehend how people expect artists to make the same albums over and over. Then again you like Too Short so yeah, debating with you would be like listening to a, well Too Short album. I hope your 40 cuz you give off a old and lame vibe.

I expect them to keep the same kind of music. I was a huge Kanye West fan when he made College Dropout but then that awful album with Love Lockdown came out and it all went downhill. If I'm a fan of a rapper, it's because they have a certain sound or something. So when they change that sound, I don't immediately like them because it's the same artist.

I'm 23. I grew up listening to Hadaway and Sash :D
