I guess you don't support the local arts of Compton, California.

One Shot One Kill [ft. Snoop Dogg] digging this one!!!

DR DRE HAS A WINNER HERE!!!!

Genocide [ft. Kendrick Lamar, Marsha Ambrosius & Candice Pillay] goes HARD!!!!!

Just heard the snippets from iTunes. Although I can't give a fair judgment on the entire album or tracks, I fux with it.

-

Dre has never been this animated. Maybe his old predictable style and cadence bored him. Maybe it bored us. Maybe it was his new crop of ghostwriters. idk. Didn't expect this much of Dre rhyming considering how feature heavy it was.

-

Can't wait to hear everything in its entirety though. There's plenty of classic Dre hallmarks that shows growth throughout.

-

First Thoughts: Anderson .Paak has a future in this game. "Animals" stood out immediately. Whether it was the track that was produced by Dre & Primo or Anderson .Paak's distinctive voice, this track wins. Not to mention the subject matter. The song's message will surely resonate with many.

I'm hoping the actual cd media drops soon.

I don't buy downloads.

you wish!!!

Candice Pillay has a cool voice on "Medicine Man." Tone reminds me of Jhene Aiko.

I'm digging it on the 1st listen.

Can't wait to get it into studio 4 a real test.

I lost interest years ago in Snoop and Dre. The only West Coast guy I would be interested in hearing new material from is Ice Cube.

Thanks! Listened to it about 5x already. Maybe he's bored with his simpler style. Idk. It still sounds good to me though. Definitely a head nodder. Is that his theme song from his radio show?

White people no longer buy houses in Compton!

I noticed that 50 Cent is not featured on here at all, but his rival THE GAME is

the more i listen the more I love this !!!

According to Amazon. The cd comes out Aug 21.

I'm feeling it!

Warren G makes great stuff! I am checking for that EP as well. I just watched a Hot 97 interview with him this week!

So nice from him.

Congrats to Dre for moving over 250K and landing #2. #2 album and #1 film its a good week to be Andre Young.

"One more platinum plaque and fuck rap you can have it back"

That is very impressive for a digital-only release. It will see another surge when the CDs and vinyl come out (for us old timers/audiophiles )
