    The Contract EP is already 5x cooler than Compton... If that's an indicator of how his album will sound, it's definitely going to be a classic!

    I don't care if it's a classic or not. I don't care if he revolutionizes hip-hop or not. I'm just happy we're getting new Dre bangers I can listen to.

    Absolutely nothing on this EP can be mentioned in the same breath as 'Gone'.

    That s--- is the apex of Dre's career.

    Agreed 100. But as a whole, these tracks feel "better" than Compton as a whole. But I think that's just because we've got 2 solo Dre songs, minus the hook and songs with more than one Dre verse on most tracks. Compton, as much as I loved it, just didn't feel like Dre was the main character compared to this.

    If you compare them, this rough ep actually shows that Compton was still well put together (quality-wise).

    It was just the music itself that didn't resonate with most of us.

    My diary / its all on me were dope solo songs. But yeah compton was more about letting others (vets and young artist) shine. Still a gr8 album imo

    I’m loving Gospel — both Dre and Em sound fantastic.

    Dre’s voice is amazing — it’s sort of remarkable that he’s better known for his talent as a producer rather than his voice behind the mic. And Eminem continues to seem so much more like his old self in a way that he hasn’t since maybe 2003-ish — his “f--- with that?” ad lib after the COVID bar actually made me chuckle.

    Can’t wait to see what else Dre (and Em) have in store for us over the next 4 months.

    Dre just put on a weird voice and added a filter to it, most likely.
