    It’s a classic and Mike Jones (who?) is a legend who never really gets his dues, so it hurts me to say nay. There are just too many songs out there.

    Compton was great.
    It is probably underated because it had no hit singles or video's so came & went quite fast.
    It is a great album.

    Compton unfortunately carried with it unattainable expectations that came with the ghosts of Detox and Dre's planets concept album.

    Add to that, the 15+ years of false starts and broken promises, as well as the hype from the biopic, I think it was only natural that everyone held it to a higher standard. Anything less than his first two classics would've always been viewed with an intense critical lens.

    Like in all honesty yeah, it's underwhelming when put up against his debut and sophomore effort, as well as his NWA cuts. However, I think cutting through the fat and just listening to it in a vacuum it holds up alright. There are highlights aplenty, and it really feels alright as swan song project for Dre.

    Nay

    Haven’t listened to it at all since it dropped, so maybe I need to revisit it. I was hyped when it dropped but once I finished it I felt disappointed.

    Nay. Compton came and went with the exception of the greatest rap song of the 10's(and maybe all-time?)- Darkside/Gone

    I'm inclined to say YAY

    Though it didn't have the staying power like its predecessors, it was still a tremendous and worthy addition and possible chapter closer on one of the game's greatest artists discography.

    Dre will never put out a new project.

    And I'm okay with that.

    like this was a career topper, victory lap from a 50 y/o man celebrating his life story - a black mans story, a journey of music - becoming a major motion picture. not detox.

    I can't stand Drake's music but I have to say Yay. It made him one of the biggest artists of the 2010s and is an iconic album for a whole generation.
