    No. Good album and a fitting victory lap from Dre but I wouldn't call it a classic

    maybe not a CLASSIC, but a deeply underrated overlooked project that i revisit way more than plenty of supposed better albums

    h--- no


    Very forgettable project imo… dre’s voice is bad on Compton. Obviously because of age but Yh, it isn’t a classic album in my book.

    No. And that's coming from a die hard Dre fan.

    It's a great album without a doubt and doesn't get the love it deserves but "classic" is not something that can be thrown around.

    My small review of the album after it came out. Still think the same.

    Not really. It was a great album, way better than a Dre album had any right to be in 2015, but I don’t think it’s classic worthy.

    It's been 6 years now since the album dropped. Compton had decent reviews but mixed reactions from fans due to the album not sounding like Chronic/2001 at all.

    But it still managed to go Gold without a radio hit which is impressive and Kendrick's penmanship was definitely evident throughout the album.

    What's your take?

    I still think the word classic is kinda meaningless to an extent tho. I said yes because I f---ing love it but yeah. What defines classic? What albums of the last 10 years are "classics" , to each their own I think.

    To me, yes. Sure it wasn't Detox or that vintage Dre sound all over but he perfectly combined 'newer' artist with veterans and literally everybody delivered. Great addition to a nearly flawless catalog!

    Good album. Not a classic.

    To be a classic, an album has to be highly influential to the culture.
