So this is the first new song that Dr.Dre has released under his own name in like.. 12 years...
It is kind of boring. Listening to the beat closely, i still pick up on that Dre delicacy. It's a very simple beat but he's still got those subtleties that keep you coming back without really knowing why. Of coarse it might be nearly impossible to live up to the amount of hype Dre has accumulated for this album, but I said nearly. If he pulls off a solid album, with classy production like he's always done, then that is a true accomplishment. Consistency. If the songs subject matter don't evolve past everything in this song, then their might be some disappointed fans, but what did you expect? Clearly smoking weed every day (ya yay ya-e-yay) creates setbacks (12 years?!?!really?!?!) but it's not like Dre hasn't been doing anything... look at his production credentials... plus he made some shiny headphones. Anyway I am babbling... heres what I really have to say:
* I have faith in this album, this song was purposefully chosen to lower expectations
* How the fuck did they make this video?
* How do you even have a brain after smoking that much weed? (maybe he doesn't even smoke)
* The outcome of this could just be sad as hell...triggering waves of complete indifference.. the world of hip-hop/rap has changed so dramatically so quickly, i dont know if Dre has any idea how to appeal to the people fiending for this new electronica-zombie-90's underground dominatrix-overcompressed-underlogical-techno-teen-supra-contemporary-mindless-preteen-commerical-hop.
* I will likely download the instrumentals and enjoy them immensely.
No interest in Dr.Dre? Just look up some of these or acquire Chronic 2001 or die.
ok dont die... but look at this though....c'monnnnn
