Yeah that's what I mean.

FWIW I don't like Straight Outta Compton aside from two tracks but I really like the second album. It has the better beats IMO.

I like both The Chronic and NWA. That doesn't mean I think everything about them is perfect.

i agree, nothing is perfect, but honestly i really wouldn't change anything about it.. but do you rate 2001 production over the chronic? cause that's the impression i was getting

i'll even take elif4zaggin over 2001

edit- should clarify, by production i mean overall vibe from the beats... not production value in the more technical sense since obviously that continues to improve along with technology, simply as a function of time.

Your edit is basically asking if I like 2001 better than The Chronic and the answer is that I like them the same, I just think they have different strengths. I do think that the production on The Chronic isn't as good as 2001 though (or Compton for that matter). And I mean production in the usual way the word is used about music—the quality of the sounds and the way in which they fit together. The Chronic is very mid-range sonically, the low end is flat and the high end often isn't strong either. This isn't a result of the march of time since there are much older albums that are better produced and even his production on Doggystyle one year later is far better.

you could be right... i honestly don't know much about the technical side of production/recording technology... but what i was asking was basically "do you prefer the beats on 2001" rather than do you prefer it overall as an album

the distinction i was making about the recording quality vs the beats overall is that to me, there are some hip hop albums that sound relatively low quality/lo-fi and yet i prefer them that way... sort of adds to the aura of the music for me. i think the simplicity of the early g-funk beats (see: the chronic, regulate, efil4zaggin, some too $hort records) and even of some later g-funk influenced music like master p's ice cream man or 2pac's don killuminati (which were released 2 years after doggystyle) actually adds to the music. for example.. i would say i like the beat on "bitches aint ****" more than anything on 2001. it doesn't sound as polished or fine-tuned... but i actually like it better that way. just sounds raw and gangster as **** to me.

I only liked 3 songs from this thingy

I get this was just a spur o the moment lets make a soundtrack cus he prob had like 300 songs and ideas just pilling up because he has not released a abum since like what 2001

sounds like Artys Mature Dre to me not a Classic Hip hop album

Didn't know anything about it, I will check it out! Thanks.

It was all right on the first spin. I haven't been into hip hop for quite some time now, so I find it hard to digest.

Nice and gritty like horrorcore, but very offbeat and progressive sounding, not really my thing, but it may grow on me.
