Top-notch producer; a bit dopey with the rhymes sometimes.

"Let Me Ride" + ...lookin' like I robbed Liberace + giving us Snoop Dogg = classic

And yes, for the "Lookin' like I robbed Liberace" bit alone, he should go down in history as the best thing ever.

He was always a dumb-as-a-brick etc, though. Mind you, so was most of popular music anyway, so you can't exactly criticize him on that front unless you're really into throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I do have to quote Tom Servo, though, for my thoughts on a lot of his best stuff -- "Um, could you not talk?"

nice copy and paste. so that's 289 tracks, which is a lot, but it's over a 21+ year period, which makes it a 13.7 song/year average. i guess that's prolific, but then again, he's only released 2 solo albums in 15 years as well.

that's mostly the fault of me not finishing my thought completely, me bads.
i meant to say it's a strawman referring to examples of the people who say "the reason I dislike rap these days as opposed to the old days is cuz there's too many guests now", as if to imply that back in the day, having 2-5 guests per song wasn't as prevalent and that solo artists were more likely to dominate an album by themselves (that said, i haven't seen anybody on ilx posit this). frankly i think it's a ridiculous idea cuz I'd argue the opposite -- that 90s albums were more guest heavy. at least the ones i have.

yeah it's a fun read, but pretty deceptive to call it "The Making of The Chronic" when it literally doesn't mention even the title of a single song on the album, much less any real details about the recording experience beyond "there was a guy who brought food to us in the studio, we called him the 'chicken man'"

seeing as I don't read the tech press like maybe I should…
1. would this be the most significant purchase Apple has made in order to consolidate its future? most significant in a long time? Like Jobs was always "we make our own shit that everybody wants, we don't appropriate some other company's innovations"…but they haven't put out anything in a while that knocked any socks off… now that paid DLs are declining, they are spooked by Spotify, obv…
2. always thought it striking that their headphones sucked so bad. not shocking, as they make their shit for the quotidians, who don't have an awareness of good audio quality, or don't care…point of reference: I recently bought my first ever downloads ever from the Apple Store, and now I know that Neil Young is not being some old contrary coot: that shit is indeed inferior.

this isnt a real dre album though is it? its just a soundtrack. besides, i liked some of those guide tracks that leaked a few years back. shit popped off was good.
― StillAdvance, Friday, 7 August 2015 10:01 (ten years ago)
wow, i've never seen anyone else even mention "shit popped off" before. i've always been into that one (it got an official release on a TI mixtape at some point). one of the versions of "topless" is really nice, too, great beat.
definitely all feels a cut beneath his previous album material, though, and i think he was wise to admit – especially after "kush" and "doctor" – that he'd lost perspective. still, i'd like to imagine there are a few worthwhile gems buried somewhere in the sessions, perhaps even a full album's worth of stuff if you combed through all the different eras and iterations it went through over a decade+ (especially since his goal had been to make something groundbreaking like the last two times, not simply to make something great – there could be all kinds of stuff that got cut for reasons that would hardly matter now). if he called burt bacharach in for a session and the only reason we know that is bacharach mentioned it when promoting an album of his, who knows what kind of weirdness is lurking on old externals and thumb drives.
― soyrev, Friday, 7 August 2015 10:52 (ten years ago)

― slothroprhymes, Friday, 7 August 2015 15:00 (ten years ago)
it's....okay i guess?
thing is that he doesn't have a real new "discovery" MC like snoop or eminem was to hang his hat on here
he has kendrick on some tracks but it's not the same thing he's so established and not really tied to dre
he has some other no name dudes that are ehh

thats p much exactly how i feel, its more like a big-budget mixtape beat tape on which dre occasionally raps and mostly a bunch of other dudes do. production was more interesting than i thought
also, really couldve done without the gratuitous wife-killing skit thing, which (surprisingly) eminem is not responsible for

After first listen, I agree with the above that it's just ok. Seems to lean a bit too heavily on Anderson Paak, but the Kendrick verses and the Kendrick-penned Dre verses are solid.
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Friday, 7 August 2015 17:22 (ten years ago)
i mean dre has always kind of obviously taken on the flow of his ghostwriters like "forgot about dre" was so obviously Em or "still d.r.e." was so obviously jay-z but with kendrick's style it feels a little weird and unnatural and i'm not sure why
― Ma$e-en-scène (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 August 2015 17:23 (ten years ago)
how are you supposed to say Anderson .Paak
― j., Saturday, 8 August 2015 00:01 (ten years ago)
i think he pulled off eminems flow, but it never quite sounded as good as when the doc or snoop wrote for him. their flows sounded smoother, better suited to his voice/'vocal weight'. obv thats also down to the era, but you do wonder why eminem or kendrick cant write in a diff flow for dre. or maybe dre wants to use their flows too, to seem more current.
― StillAdvance, Saturday, 8 August 2015 07:36 (ten years ago)
oh god, i need a doctor was so awful
Critical receptionNick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a very positive review - rating the song five stars out of five; "Why is 'I Need a Doctor' such a brilliant single? Well, first of all there's the production from British knob-twiddling whizz Alex da Kid, which has a similar gravitas and bone-rattling bombast to his work on 'Love the Way You Lie' and 'Airplanes'. Then there's the haunting chorus, delivered by Diddy's 'Coming Home' bud Skylar Grey, which inhabits you from first listen. However, what elevates 'I Need A Doctor' from "very good" to "a little bit special" are the performances of Dre and Em. [...] That single manly tear dribbling down your cheek? Entirely, entirely justified."[14]
― JoeStork, Saturday, 8 August 2015 08:54 (ten years ago)
@StillAdvance true, though eminem and dre have such great chemistry together. they could even pull off a concept as thin as "old time's sake."
that quote reminds me how stupid it was that a dr. dre song be produced by someone else, and dre's own appearance be limited to a trainwreck third verse. given its message and emotional tenor, the song would have made way more (nevertheless awful) sense being billed as an eminem single.
― soyrev, Saturday, 8 August 2015 12:36 (ten years ago)
Production is much much busier than anything Dre's done before, it works in today's environment, but is it as good as his past albums? idk, probably not.
Agree that the ratio of Dre verses to guest verses is way too low.
I also don't know how to pronounce Anderson .Paak, but I do know that I like him
― MrExplorer, Sunday, 9 August 2015 04:38 (ten years ago)
some nice moments but imo it's a really cluttered, dated-sounding album. i suspect not calling it Detox and claiming the movie provided a flurry of creativity is partly to mask how old some of the music is. makes me really glad that Dre has been pretty hands-off with Kendrick's albums.

Slightly off topic, this is Ice Cube from now widely quoted upcomin RS feature:
If you're a bitch, you're probably not going to like us. If you're a ho, you probably don't like us. If you're not a ho or a bitch, don't be jumping to the defense of these despicable females. Just like I shouldn't be jumping to the defense of no punks or no cowards or no slimy son of a bitches that's men. I never understood why an upstanding lady would even think we're talking about her.
A lot of rap songs deal with a similar binary, but the project of justifying misoginyst/sexualized slurs somehow seems doomed. Heard this for the first time recently, and although there is no questioning Cube's tautologics it has to be one of the silliest/worst verses ever:
A bitch is a bitchSo if I'm poor or richI talk in the exact same pitchNow the title bitch don't apply to all womenBut all women have a little bitch in 'emIt's like a disease that plagues their characterTaking the women of AmericaAnd it starts with the letter BIt makes a girl like that think she better than meSee, some get mad and some just bear itBut, yo, if the shoe fits wear itIt makes 'em go deaf in the ear that's whyWhen you say 'hi' she won't say 'hi'Are you the kind that think you're too damn fly?Bitch eat shit and dieIce Cube coming at you at a crazy pitch(Why?) I think a bitch is a bitch
I dunno, maybe there was something liberating at the time abt using that kind of language on a mainstream record - seems very dated now.
― niels, Thursday, 13 August 2015 11:43 (ten years ago)
eminem sounds good, its just that the flow/phrasing/emphasis is too familiar now.
i kinda like this album, in parts - even if nothing is that remarkable, and while it gets better every time kendrick appears, he isnt really a 'dr dre' kind of artist. the rip that i have of it probably isnt helping much, but i do wonder why, more than his beats getting sterile and over produced, why modern dre, or since 2001 at least, dres production has gotten so over minimal, and more than that, so SLUGGISH. its like hes become the enemy of any kind of syncopation in the drums. its all plod-plod-plod (though at least, not an eminem-production kind of plod). its like hes trying to resist funkiness, when that is exactly what i want to hear from him (and im not expecting straight outta compton style breakbeats, just some sort of rhythmic finesse in there, somewhere).

yeah that does not sound like the cube of 2015. then again, i have often been surprised by rappers being stuck in their views, so whos to say.
― StillAdvance, Thursday, 13 August 2015 14:38 (ten years ago)
weirdest thing about this whole album is dr dres voice.

otoh if this was 1989 you just know he would've used a different epithet here

who is still listening to this? i find it far from bad, but far from that remarkable too. its oddly non descript a lot of the time. dre grabbing from interesting sources, but not really making it into anything as attention grabbing as what he might have done before. i feel like most of the talking point on the album are that its dre borrowing from 'underground' guys that you might not have expected from someone with his stature.

I stopped listening the moment I had reviewed it. There are a couple of nice songs but overall... nah.

The real news is that apparently D.O.C. got his voice back!

surprised this was panned so hard on ilx, i thought it was pretty great. not nearly touching his first two obv but there are some jams imo

the problems i have with it are, that yes, its got that dre perfectionism in the mixing and engineering (though is this even that special anymore? it just sounds sterile), but i need some more musical meat. all his OCD tinkering i think seems to have left little of that in the songs (also, not enough funkiness, i know that was already on the way out on 2001, but i mean, theres enough new/hip/younger artists making funkiness okay again so...). also, not enough dre on the songs, as in he never really dominates like he used to. maybe thats just the impact of the flow, im not sure yet. but apart from the final song, its like, i need more dre on a dr. dre album (even a soundtrack). the only songs i really care about are the ones with snoop, xzibit, eminem (in spite of the poor rape jokes, though cmon, its eminem, its par for the course at this stage), and talking to my diary. other than that, i can take it or leave it. the beats i find to actually be quite boring tbh. they just plod along boringly.
― StillAdvance, Monday, 24 August 2015 09:19 (ten years ago)
also i think dre sounds shaky on the mic - partly thats age, but also i think he feels funny about rapping now, and also what should he as someone of his stature/age/reputation be rapping about? on one hand i dont want to think dre has to just be a gangsta for EVER, OTOH, i dont really care that much for dre when he isnt playing that role, as except in small doses, its never quite that good (though of course, i have lots of time for songs like lil ghetto boy).
going to listen to the leaked detox tracks to see how they stand up. if i was dre, i would get dj quik to help him produce, and avoid his crippling dre-ness
― StillAdvance, Monday, 24 August 2015 09:28 (ten years ago)
iirc he rapped about owning everything, which seemed v. accurate but like he wasn't even that happy because of it
― j., Monday, 24 August 2015 10:09 (ten years ago)
its actually kinda boring when rappers talk about owning everything even if they do own a lot. more fun/enjoyable when they are still fantasising about it, when they havent made it yet. dre's prob just done everything at this point and is now just plain bored.
― StillAdvance, Monday, 24 August 2015 10:15 (ten years ago)

something about this position really bothers me even though I understand it -- you can relate to somebody who wants things and has dreams of wealth and power, it's harder to relate to people who don't have to work at all if they don't want to

i mean, im pleased for dre that hes so ridiculously rich, good for him, but i mean, do i need to hear about it? (unless its in a funny/OTT/unbelievably ostentatious sort of way like idk, kool g rap's lifestyles of the rich and famous, which is entertaining rather than just dry bragging) and then theres also the thing that, while im pleased someone whose albums and songs i have enjoyed didnt end up poor, from a boring moralistic POV, what has dr dre really contributed to anyones life? great music (as in the sheer aural content), not so great everything-else.
― StillAdvance, Monday, 24 August 2015 13:33 (ten years ago)
I only think Dre sounds shaky when he's trying to do Kendrick verses, but that style would be hard to emulate & doesn't really play to Dre's strengths as a rapper
― Ma$e-en-scène (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 24 August 2015 14:34 (ten years ago)
dre needs someone with a slower flow to write for him, not eminem or kendrick
― StillAdvance, Monday, 24 August 2015 15:18 (ten years ago)
then again, he prob wouldnt want that out of fear of sounding old
ts got that dre perfectionism in the mixing and engineering
what, no. quite the opposite.
― Spottie, Monday, 24 August 2015 15:53 (ten years ago)
its ultra buffed clean in the manner of 2001 and pretty much everything hes done since. there might be more instrumentation, but for the most part, its true to the modern dre sound.

i would argue that there are other rewarding ways of engaging with lyrics besides just relating to their content on a personal level
― brimstead, Monday, 24 August 2015 19:00 (ten years ago)
He had all the time in the world to apologize if he truly regretted his actions.

I still say it's TI. But yes. He should enlist Berner.

dr dre and quincy jones in conversation - https://itunes.apple.com/us/post/idsa.2b4855c9-59bd-11e5-8348-dfa0394d1ab0not heard it yet, but its weird to hear dre trying to sound so hype. also, why is this show called the pharmacy, with the voice of a woman introducing it by saying the doctor will see you now'. erm doctors dont work in pharmacies?
― StillAdvance, Tuesday, 15 September 2015 09:47 (ten years ago)
this album kinda sucks.

Busta Rhymes breaking a ram's neck at 3:44 is def classic
Beat's obv great too, but quite uncharacteristic for Dre? Anyone have an idea how much Storch did on it?
― niels, Sunday, 8 April 2018 10:22 (seven years ago)
Nicety, or whatever you wanna call itAsk my opinion and I think that all it isIs just an excuse to givin the bootsFor dollar and cents, and remain innocentDre with the Ruthless attack, check itCause all that you talkin about ain't Jack!Step off of that, try a new approachYou get smoked because I ain't no jokeYeah, yeah...
lol

tried listening to The Chronic again recently and wasn't really feeling it, which i don't chalk up to the album but more my own shifting tastes.
― omar little, Sunday, 8 April 2018 18:22 (seven years ago)
"The Next Episode" came on the radio the other day and man that is some classic shit
― bunny slopes, Sunday, 8 April 2018 18:58 (seven years ago)
xp could never make it through the entire Chronic
dope singles though
Next Episode is great, 2001 has aged well
― niels, Sunday, 8 April 2018 20:13 (seven years ago)
Storch / Dre collabs were often Storch writing, recording and producing a song, then Dre consulting & polishing. Dre did have a mini-period of arch, spindly beats like that around that time, though. His arrangements have never been maximalist, but at the time I took that refinement to be a reaction to Timbaland's breakthrough.
― just noticed tears shaped like florida. (sic), Sunday, 8 April 2018 20:27 (seven years ago)

You're a multi platinum producer, you know everything about getting the sound just right, and yet... this is how you hold a microphone:
