I need the mastered version. This stream is garbage.

 

[RP912]

Satisfiction on third listen...lawdy

 

[racketpunch]

First track sounds too much like the garbage coming out on the radio today. I still have faith.

 

[Majestad]

Talking to my Diary is amazing. That beat >>>>>>.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Definitely buying this album after listening to it streaming.

 

[Dosia]

Streamed it at the gym and this is some good shit. Will buy.

 

[Cudder]

This should be up on iTunes in 15 minutes right? iTunes usually unlocks new albums at 11pm EST on Monday for a Tuesday release.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I do not think any of these other people would be on the chorus if nate dogg was alive.

Dr. Dre 2/3

 

[eyeball_kid]

Best beat on the album was One Shot One Kill; it's just unfortunate it was wasted on Dre's attempts to bring back gangsta rap. Kendrick's stuff was solid of course, but Animals is probably the best track lyrically.

 

[Astarte]

Damn I hyped it up way too much to godlike levels. It was enjoyable, but it was..alright.

 

[steveovig]

I was all set to buy this but after previewing the tracks, I'm not sure anymore. None of it really impressed me (albeit, just going by the previews, I didn't hear any Kendrick or Em verses from that). I might buy the Snoop songs just because he sounds like he brought his A game for once.

 

[Frank Serpico]

Holy shit, Snoop DESTROYED One Shot One Kill


I don't think I've heard that energy from him in 15 years

 

[Linkhero1]

Not feeling it and I'm a huge Dre stan. =/

 

[beanman25]

Into this. Really nice 4 tracks in.

Darkside/Gone is amazing.

 

[Anth0ny]

Not the sound I expected from a new Dre album. But I think I'm still enjoying this so far!

 

[Linkhero1]

Did Dre go old Eminem in Loose Cannons? lmao

 

[DietRob]

Read the page you're posting to.

I can't see the apple store on my netbook. Is there a sound cloud?

 

[beanman25]

Kendrick went off in Deep Water damn

Yesssss he did. Just got past his verse. That break and go in the middle is so rad.

 

[dream]

It's up now.

 

[BroggieDoge]

Just Another Day has my neck breaking. Dat beat.

Did Dre go old Eminem in Loose Cannons? lmao

Straight Slim Shady hahaha

 

[JCreasy]

If this album isn't exciting to you . . . I dunno. We can't kick it.

I mean, just musically.

Haven't enjoyed west coast rap like this in a loooong time.

 

[norm9]

Pleasantly surprised. I was a hater from day one and I think that helped.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Summertime '06 though

 

[burgervan]

First listen I enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away. Relistening now and I'm liking it a lot more. Maybe it's a grower. The only songs I'm really not feeling are Talk About It, Issues, and Medicine Man.

 

[beanman25]

First listen done. In love. Delivers completely for me.

EDIT: Deep Water is golden. So psyched to hear Jon Conner on the record too. Huge fan of him.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Is... is this good?

I'm really having a hard time reading these reactions. I mean, I want it to be good, but.

 

[J 0 E]

Great collection, Talking To My Diary is fantastic

 

[burgervan]

Is... is this good?

I'm really having a hard time reading these reactions. I mean, I want it to be good, but.

At the very least, it's good.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

I wanna buy it, but why is it $13.99??

Having Best Buy flashbacks from 2002...

 

[dsp]

After listening, really only feeling Genocide.

 

[Majestad]

You'll find out in one way

Spoiler

by listening to the album

 

[Order]

Holy shit Snoop Dogg just came back to life

 

[BBboy20]

12an ET. Shit, they're not streaming now?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

It's good not great. No way it could live up to expectations.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

It's actually pretty good so far! Loose Cannons is a five alarm clunker though, holy shit. Why have two perfectly decent starting tracks released this week been ruined by Eminem/Hopsin tier skit bullshit?

 

[victreeb3l]

Gonna listen to this soon. Is that song from that beats commercial with dre and kendrick on this album?

 

[Maximus.]

Just started to listen and man the flow of this album is amazing. Everything just feels so right. Passion in this album.

 

[nib95]

Keep reporting in with impressions dudes and dudettes. Trying to decide if I should take the plunge!

 

[Hatchtag]

is there any way to buy this without downloading itunes?
i don't want to download itunes

 

[MThanded]

Bought. Sounds great.

Solid work.

 

[Majestad]

Game killed his track. Damn.

 

[Maximus.]

I don't think the album has any strong singles that stand out to me yet, but as a whole I really enjoyed it.

 

[Oddduck]

I need to give it a few more listens before I can properly judge it, but it feels like a solid, well-produced album from my first listen.

 

[burgervan]

I've already listened to it four times and, aside from that first song, it gets better each time. I'm so happy right now. Dre fucking delivered!

 

[The Beard]

Holy shit, Snoop DESTROYED One Shot One Kill


I don't think I've heard that energy from him in 15 years

He's trying to sound like Eminem.

 

[Nyx]

Nope, not for me.

Really not one song that I think is good, I'll just put The Chronic and 2001 on repeat for the 457.943th time.

 

[strafer]

Man, this is good.

 

[Discotheque]

first half is pretty meh aside from the xzibit verse. second half bumps though. especially one shot one kill.

it's good production, but it's sorely missing the presence of a nate dogg should have dropped a hook from the vault. would have been single-worthy.

and speaking of the production it does bang at places but there's also odd use of autotune and just weird ass effects all over the place. it's no 2001 or chronic. but i'm still pleasantly surprised it's not a piece of crap either. but nah...these songs surely aint the best of his detox sessions.

 

[solarus]

8 tracks in and meh, production is aight but the rapping is boring and that skit on loose cannons was garbage.

 

[Blastoise]

"today was a good day"

Remember when Iced Cube said that before. Lol. NWA 4 lyfe.
