    Why do people love Just Another Day so much? I think it's the albums only s--- song. It's the worst Dre beat Game has ever rapped on and it's Game doing what he's been doing since 2010 which is rapping about completely forgettable s--- in a really weird voice.

    What am I missing? That's a serious question. Why is it so good?

    For The Love of Money is really underated. Great beat & both Conner & Dre ride the beat great. Is that Bishop Lamont on the Talking to my Diary hook? sounds similar too him.

    First week sales projections are 275K. Not bad for one of the worst albums in American history.

    Absolutely. Much better production, way better features, far better overall quality songs. It's not even close really.

    I'm not going to praise this embarrassing piece of s--- just because it's technically a Dr. Dre album, even though it doesn't sound like one at all.

    This is a weird album experience for me. First few listens it was too much going on to even take in an felt scattered random mess of bridges hooks and verses, songs sounded the same and i just particularly didnt give a f--- about this album. It was almost like being in shock because its dre and this isnt what i wanted nor was expecting. A few tracks stood out after a few listens, mostly "talking to my diary", "its all on me" and "talk about it". Few more listens and it was like the beginning of a drug problem! Im hooked an love almost every track now. There's only a small handful of albums which take time for me to enjoy. The more i listen to it, the further i find myself from my initial thoughts and response on this album. Good job Dre!

    275k is lower than I expected tbh. But then again, 2001 was pretty huge and it sold basically the same as Compton adjusted for % ratio of how much albums sell now compared to then, relatively

    I cant stand it either. Any real game fan knows that is a typical game verse, nothing special there! I dont care for the one shot one k--- beat either

    Not even borderline. They are r-----ed. It's like he latches onto these horrible, stubborn opinions and just won't budge. He's basically become a caricature of himself. Not even funny or entertaining anymore, just dumb.

    Now this is suddenly one of the worst albums in American history :mcgee:

    I dunno, I like the beat a lot, and while Game isn't saying anything really significant, he sounds better than he has in a long time. at least to me.

    Xzibit's part on Loose Canons is probably my favorite moment on the album.

    I'm appreciating Anderson's contributions on Medicine Man more and more with each listen

    Easily one of the album's greatest moments

    Imo the only good part of the song is the end when chick is singing the outro.

    Track for track the production is flawless and all the guest producers are the best in Hip Hop right now. Dre has raised the bar all over again, best album of 2015.. better than Kendrick's.
