If you haven't heard by now, Koolo et al. have made me the new moderator of this section. I'm going to leave this thread stickied and update it with new rules and guidelines for Music as we work them out together, some by trial and error.

For now, a few broad strokes:

-- It was my idea to discontinue the Albums section. I think that consolidating music discussion in the Music section is going to benefit all of us.

But what does this mean?

Well, I'm not particularly concerned about the time frame for album threads. That will sort itself out: Very famous artists will see a thread for their album stick around for a long time before/after release, while smaller and mid-level artists will have threads come and go. That's the way it should be. In practice, this means that there shouldn't be a Danny Brown Appreciation thread--there should be one for his new album. Once that dies out, it dies out; if you want to bump the conversation, find that thread and bump it. Search before posting.

-- The exception to that rule is if you want to talk about a defunct or inactive artist. While I don't want the Danny Brown Appreciation thread, I'm fine with the Kool G Rap Appreciation thread. On that note, with big anniversaries coming up, it might be interesting to do a thread about an album in specific terms, i.e.- an ATLiens thread when that album turns 20 later this month.

-- Try to keep thread titles uniform. That means threads with the album tag and the name of an album/artist, or something else instantly recognizable. If you're posting what you believe to be relevant music news, either go with the headline of the publication you're liking to, or something even more economical. If you're discussing something a little more abstract, use your judgment. I'll edit titles as I see fit.

-- I'm repeating this because it bears repeating: Search before posting.

-- No racism, no sexism, etc. I'm the sole arbiter. Don't like it? Write your congressman.



I'm not going to go back through the section and change/merge things that already exist, except when it affects the present. I'm an actual person with an actual life. But from this point forward, we're going to adhere to a version of this, and within the month the front page of Music will look how it should look. Please feel free to PM or mention me when necessary. If I'm not available, hit up @BigCountry.

After seeing @Arch Dogg and his review that was so a--- that Kevin Gates could eat it, I decided to give an unbiased review of Dr. Dre's 3rd and final album, "Compton".

First off, if you are so attached to "The Chronic" and "2001" that your perception of Dre is clouded by nostalgia, exit this right now. This is not for you.

Now, this album's only similarity's with "2001" are how this is put together like a movie, similar to the albums predecessor and his protégé's work "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City". It has an intro, the sound of a movie logo similar to 20th Century Fox rolling, followed by a introduction about the streets of Dre's hometown, Compton. And it's heavy features, like actors, play an important role in each part they play in. Features range from Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, The Game, Jill Scott, Marsha Ambrosius, Anderson Paak, Candice Pillay, Ice Cube, Xzibit and his newest crew of potential stars, Jon Connor, Justus and King Mez.

The albums production ranges from classic Dre, from tracks like "Darkside/Gone" and the Trumpet closer "Talking To My Diary" to a slight influence of trap, like on "Deep Water" and "For The Love Of Money". Along with Dre, producers DJ Dahi, Cardiak, Bink, DJ Premier and newcomer DemBeatz from Compton helmed the project, dubbed his "grand finale".

But is it? I'm not going to delve into the history of his cancelled project, "Detox". but the anticipation and impatience for it led to Dre's 3rd album held to a higher standard then his first 2. He simply couldn't match the vision of what the hype was portraying. But it was a d--- good effort. Following the success of Kendrick's Lamar critical masterpiece "To p---- A Butterfly", Dre took notes from Its process and incorporated a new sound, almost completely abandoning his classic G-f--- sound. Sounds good on paper, but just like TPAB, it alienated alot of his fans, because people hate change, atleast when its not in comfortable territory.

All in all, the album had very few issues. The only main issue is that Eminem's verse on "Medicine Man" was sonically not pleasing to the ears and did not feel natural on the album, despite being a great verse. Also, the elephant in the room, how the h--- was MC Ren excluded from the project? I understand Nate Dogg because Warren G used up the rest of his posthumous work on his new LP. But MC Ren was just as important as Ice Cube. And "For The Love Of Money" was mediocre in my opinion. But Dre traded in the mediocre 2nd half of " 2001" and "The Chronic" Eazy-E roastfest, for a bright, introspective look on his career. Kendrick Lamar shines on his bars and steal's the show on "Deep Water", "Genocide" and "Darkside/Gone" like Eminem on the previous LP, and Snoop provides one of his best verses in years on the Jon Connor solo.

The real heart on the album comes from Dre however. You can tell he put his heart into it. You could feel every word he spoke despite the fact it was mainly ghostwritten. This album, despite being an exclusive to Apple, feels natural. Like it wasn't made for a profit.

In conclusion, this album is a future classic. Because of the production, mixing, the features, the cohesion and the sincerity of all the effort.

Final Verdict: 9.5/10
Best Track: Darkside/Gone & Talking To My Diary
Worst Track: For The Love Of Money

Kid Cudi (born Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi on January 30, 1984 in Cleveland, Ohio) in an American singer, songwriter, and rapper. As a musician, he is referred to by his stage name, Kid Cudi, a shortened version of his last name. Kid first gained significant recognition when he came out with his 2008 mixtape, A Kid Named Cudi, an album that caught the attention of Kanye West, who later signed him to G.O.O.D Records. He has five studio albums as a solo artist, and created his own rock band by the name of WZRD.

TIMBO COLE COLLAB??!?!!!! IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIIIISSSD PLEAAASSEEEE

 

Apr 23, 2018

I finally sobered up. Ok here's my final verdict of this s--- after 10-15 listens. It MIGHT be the best e Cole album despite having a few flaws. I still think Photograph is weak and the subject of the song is somewhat basic af, hook doesn't help either. Motiv8 grew a bit on me, but s--- still sounds like a straight Kendrick track of d---. If I ain't in the mood, I'm skipping that s--- too. The rest is great. And the rest has some of the best Cole writing of his career. I don't remember hearing any corny s--- on here, dude was finally focused as in "focused album mode". That's what I've been saying for all these years b, and I think it's obvious to everyone who listens to this s--- how different it is from usual Cole album from that standpoint. The album concept isn't anything deep, but s--- worked. Think on the other albums Cole tried too hard to follow in the GKMC blueprint, I believe he made this s--- effortlessly, he just had fun making music and hit the zone. It sounds like that. Production is nice too, I like how s--- isn't over flooded with instrumentation, it's just straightforward. Rhodes/piano +808/bass + drums + some versatility as the track progresses with the brass sections. Same formula on the more trap beats, except the instrumentation is replaced by synths and plucks. That way you can catch attention of these trap listeners who rap over a simple a--- beats, but it doesn't sound cheap like that s--- does. Cole could've used BJ Chicago Kid or Musiq Soulchild on some hooks, but IMO it isn't that much of a setback as yall make it to be. If those vocals weren't pitched down, it would sound like a regular Cole singing. Nothing spectacular, but it's good enough. I think people should be more impressed by Cole coming up with those melodies on these kinds of beats where isn't much going on. The way he wrote those melodies could easily make him top 10 songwriter in the game if he decided to write for others. Mixing still ain't perfect, and on some tracks vocals are louder than on the others, and it also sounds like he has recorded this on more than 1 mic. Despite that, it's much better mixed than 4YEO. I can see them giving a Grammy to Cole for this for 3 reasons - 1. he's on Interscope and he's everywhere now (heard ATM yesterday multiple times during the NBA commercial breaks), expect him to be on SNL, Fallon, etc. too, 2. he made something that criticizes todays society like Kendrick did. 3. and actually made something that is not expected of him, flipped the sound a bit and it sounded good. Another plus is that it's only 42 minutes long. I give this s--- 8.5/10 for now. We'll see how it will age.
