Breaking: Dr. Dre To Release "Grand Finale" Album Aug. 6

[9erempiree]

The best produced track would be his collaboration with DJ Premier and when you listen to it, it is mostly Primo's style. This was more like a mixtape album but it is being sold as a Dre album (soundtrack) but as long as Dre gets his name credited for producing. This sounds like nothing Dre produces and it is very significant because Dre is considered a producing genius and he failed here -or- basically just stamped his name on the album cover and credits.

Below is track and producer.

This was not an enjoyable listening experience.

[T_L_P]

I was never a Dre fan to begin with (Chronic/2001 are enjoyable but hardly masterpieces), but this was pretty terrible.

The last 30 mins was a grind.

[RidonKs]

i don't think i'm capable of sitting through an album like this in full but i'm enjoying the songs i pick out here and there, pretty good album

Interesting to hear such overwhelmingly negative opinions here. I respect them though (and only quoting yours because it's the most recent, T_L_P). That said, there's still actually a lot I like on this album.

So far, I agree that there's a stretch later in the album I'm not feeling at all (the songs between "One Shot One Kill" and "Satisfiction"). But the stretch from "All in a Day's Work" to "Deep Water" has been getting a lot of play from me over the last week.

Also, D.J. Premier's "Animals" has become a quick favorite, and I'm still digging "Medicine Man".

For all his uniqueness, I thought Anderson .Paak brought a lot to the album, along with Kendrick Lamar; it served as an interesting mix with the wily vets.

All these bad takes had me wondering how the album was received in the media - it seems to be doing pretty well (http://www.metacritic.com/music/compton/dr-dre), so I guess I don't feel too guilty for liking it yet. Though I guess the media sometimes trumpets music that may not be deemed worthy of such praise. Still, by the way it was getting panned by some here I thought it was going to be around 45% on Metacritic.

Kinda hoping it's good. I liked early 2000s Dr. Dre a lot. Hopefully he can make a solid finale

[Lensanity]

If there was any doubt that Kendrick is the best rapper in the world, his performance on this album solidified himself as that.

I gave this shit more listens and its growing on me, Genoside, Deep Water, Darkside, for the love of money and Medicine Man are dope af
