    How has it aged for you so far? Do you still rate it as highly as you did? Has it become forgettable? Is it a classic?

    Can a mod threadban Arch Dogg from this thread straight away pls :adaddsa:

    eh, i like it okay

    but that's pretty much it

    not something i revisit often and i'm not likely to listen to it in full ever again

    great album and a nice addition to Dre's catalog. I still wish we had Detox though.

    I'd much rather of had Detox as well, based on the leaked material we got over the years..
    But for what it is, I can f--- with most of Compton.. It was refreshing to hear dre on some new school influenced s---.
    I still really enjoy "Its all on me".. I know its a weird one to like so much but when I hear it it reminds me of what i was going through at the time, and its really bittersweet to say the least.. I also really like Loose Cannons.. And Darkside/Gone is some true next level s---.. The production on Gone gives me f---ing chills every time it drops and the piano comes in.. But, overall it was a solid product from Dre and good marketing that worked out with the Compton movie pretty well.

    It's decent at best for me, really have no interest in going back to it. I was very disappointed with the album.

    If I need more space on my iPod which I think I will soon, I'll probably delete it tbh.

    Aged well for me.

    It's thematically cohesive, it's concise, despite the length, it's incredibly well produced, & literally everyone comes in with their A game, firing at all cylinders whether it be on vocal features, rap features, whatever. It's a dope, well executed, chiseled, d--- near flawless project. Still 9/10 for me.

    It is f---ing amazing, but it aint a classic, it aint a standout work or something iconic. But it certainly isn't forgettable either. It sits right in the middle.

    Have no interest in going back to any songs off it at this stage tbh, when i hear it on the radio though i still cant help but nod my head though. in summary its a decent album but nothing memorable.

    Its a classic. I still bump it daily. Everything about the album is perfect. People who hadn't spit anything good in years like Ice Cube and Snoop k--- on this thing. The new guys are awsome and Em gives one of his best verses. Not to mention Dre more than make up for the 16 year wait

    Fantastic album.
    Everybody brought their A game. Snoop, Ice Cube, Xzibit, and Em had great guest features and Game made one of the best songs of his career.
    That moment when you first hear that Eazy sample :banderas: That was amazing.
    Really wish there was a NWA song near the end, or at the very least a posse cut with a bunch of Cali rappers.

    Still a great album. Definitely like it more than TPAB, and I'm pretty sure it's better than TLOP, if not significantly
