    This isn't hyperbole but I really think the Eazy-E part-end of Gone is the best thing I've ever heard in rap.

    I can't do a track by track rating, but this album is pretty close to perfect based on my first few listens. Dre just dropped the best produced album since MBDTF, and 2001 before it. How many switch ups and moods does each track carry? It's r-----ed. How perfect is every contributor utilized? This guy f----- around and made a 2 bar Eazy-E sample the highlight of the whole album smh.

    And his performance on these tracks, wow. Half a century old and he's rapping these bars better than he was 16 years ago. His mic presence is GOAT.

    10/10 album. If you fa----s gave TPAB a 10 on first listen, I can give this joint a 10 as well.

    Intro/Talk About It- 9 (Amazing hook, one of the best Dre verses on the album, the horns to open the album and the triumphant shouting into "Talk About It" gave me chills. Amazing opening)
    Genocide- 8.75 (Beat is amazing, the ending where the song starts up again is fantastic, K-Dot goes in)
    It's All On Me- 9 (One of my personal favs of the album, Dre's first verse is amazing with a great hook, and an eerie almost lonesome sort of sound and beat)
    All In A Day's Work- 8.33 (Chain g--- bit is amazing and harmonies in the song are great, but it's one of the more forgettable tracks on the album)
    Darkside/Gone- 10 (Enough can't be said about the amazing Easy-E switch-up. Best moment on the album I think. The beat switch-up itself is amazing, but having Easy on it was just something else. Kendrick killed it too)
    Loose Cannons- 9 (This song is a lot but in the best way. Skit was great at the end, reminded me of Kim right before that for understandable reasons, DMX brought it, solid production as usual)
    Issues- 9.25 (Cube and Dre seriously brought it on this song, and it was amazing to hear them on a record again)
    Deep Water- 10 (The beat is amazing, the chorus is amazing, the bridge is amazing, and K-Dot gives the best verse on the album and one of the best of his career. Song is flawless basically)
    One Shot One k---- 9.5 (Snoop rapped like his life depended on it, and it might be the best beat on the album, also growling Dre outro was amazing)
    Just Another Day- 9.25 (Game brought it and sounded hungry and the beat was another great one)
    For the Love of Money- 9 (Jon Connor killed it, Dre killed it, good beat)
    Satisfiction- 7.5 (Somewhat cool concept killed by annoying and corny hook, though Snoop went in)
    Animals- 8 (Good song, just not nearly as interesting or memorable as most of the album, outro was great)
    Medicine Man- 9.25 (Dre was great, but Eminem was the star of this song. Sounded comfortable on the mic again and I actually did cringe from him rapping. Great song. Piano beat change was amazing too)
    Talking To My Diary- 10 (Amazing album outro, the horns are classic Dre, the beat is just amazing, Dre's verses were fantastic, wish the song had a better title, but oh well)

    Overall, I've listened to the album fully four times and listened to various songs here and there. It's amazing, and what's even more shocking is how consistent it is. Truly a special album and one of the best hip-hop albums in years.
    9.5/10

    The piano s--- is the best production I've ever heard. Dre's Piano on Gone ironically enough just dethroned Kanye's strings on Gone in my eyes.

    Kendrick killed it obviously but I might like Dre's part better.


    Killing them softly, don't ever call me fortunate
    You don't know what it cost me
    So anybody complaining about they circumstances lost me homie
    We ain't even talking f--- that energy, f--- up off me

    So we can all agree that Satisfiction is the weakest track on here? Snoop came through tho
