Apr 2, 2019 Not as great as his past releases but still a great album with a blend of old elements that made it great with a more modern sound. 8/10
Apr 2, 2019 easy 8. still stand by it that this is the best final album we coulda got from Dre. any iteration of Detox would've been dope, but Dre came off a lot more personal and sincere on this than he would've on some futuristic club s---.
Apr 2, 2019 Meh Compton was so under the radar. Sure everyone that goes to hip hop sites knows about it. But casual listeners have no idea dre even dropped a album
Apr 2, 2019 Well if random dudes in shithole like Poland knew Dre dropped an album, everyone else in the world knew.
Apr 2, 2019 Cant really go too deep into a review rn unfortunatly as this album deserves it. Very underrated album. 9/10 IMO. As people have stated this is the best version of Detox that we would have ever gotten
Apr 2, 2019 The best version of detox we could have got? Get the f--- out of here you d-ck riding little creep. You probably the type that eat fruit loops out a toilet bowl. Compton was great but you clearly haven't heard some dem cut detox tracks. Hey young world >>>
Apr 3, 2019 7/10 I couldn't believe we got another Dre album, considering how meticulous and perfectionist he is. It felt like a major event and it has the archetypal Dre formula; features from his proteges (sans Fifty), unreal sound quality and fantastic production--I was stunned to hear Dre on a Preemo beat! The features were sometimes hit or miss, but overall it provided and interesting mix of songs. Initially I replayed the crap of Compton, but some of the songs over time did grow a bit stale, I was hoping to hear more the next-level sound that I imagine was intended for Detox. But really I can't complain too much that someone with a career in the genre that spanned for over 30+ years and has contributed so much decided to create another solid project, it's no Chronic, but it doesn't need to be.

Birdman 11. OD 12. Numbers 13. Just Might Be Around 2013 I started getting bored of hip hop. The blog era was over and I couldn’t be bothered to look around for what was popping off at the time. Plus the s--- just wasn’t hitting like it used to. Sure, rappers like Kendrick, Rocky, Danny Brown, Tyler, Big Krit, et al were all making some great music but none of them ever really clicked for me like my favourite artists from the previous decade. Looking back now, I missed out on so much great music from the early 2010s. Theres still a bunch of s--- i need to catch up on. In 2014 however, I discovered Young Thug (from @Big Cuntry 's previous incarnation of RateThisAlbum, if I’m not mistaken). At first I couldn’t understand what the hype was about. Then suddenly it clicked. Young Thug was what the game had been missing. He was something different, he was an innovator. And my love for hip hop was suddenly reborn, in a completely new form. Barter 6 was billed as a mixtape but I think its pretty much decided by now that this is Young Thug’s debut album. I’d go as far as to say that its his best (solo) project yet. For someone coming fresh into Young Thug’s music, it might be tough to wrap your mind around what the f--- is going on. Young Thug is not your conventional rapper. He yelps and yips and barks and adlibs and at the drop of a hat can switch his style up from Lil Wayne to Louis Armstrong. The instrumental is his playground and he seemingly uncaringly splashes weirdly pitched vocals over the beat like a master painter on his easel. After so many years of the same flows, the same inflections, the same timbre, Jeffrey discovered, implemented and commercialised a range of new ways to ride the beat. Whats even more incredible is that just 3 or 4 years later how deeply influential those innovations have become. Barter 6 was only the beginning. I give it an 8/10. @RateThisAlbum
Apr 7, 2019 9.5/10 B6 is one of the greatest trap albums ever made. Possibly the 3rd best behind Dirty Sprite 2 and Flockaveli, which are both 10s imo. Only thing bringing it down is that terrible cover art.
