Iam Pyre it's not really numbers what he's saying it's standing the test of time or marking a moment in time , classic albums aren't just good they mark a moment in time and culture that's why classics are so rare
Exactly. Check what album did do numbers those three months and stack it up against Compton for overall quality. Not based on overinflated expectations. Nearly everything out at that time was corny fuck boy shit. I have Compton in my playlist still. Compton is something you can listen to years from now. That other shit is already forgotten. Hype over Detox fucked that album. If that would've been released by a new artist and not Dre it would have been called a classic. That's why he shelved Detox he knew it couldn't stand up to hype and would never be good enough.
I love the Compton album, listened to it today. I don’t care what anyone says today going gold is a big accomplishment. Dr. Dre went gold without any singles, any music videos, or no promotion. He just put the album out and didn’t even promote it and it still sold half 1 million copies easy.
I get where he's coming from. The Chronic and 2001 changed rap forever, Compton didn't. It is a really really high quality album, but it doesn't have the cultural impact, and in his opinion, the staying power that the other two had. I personally think it's his best album, but I do have to agree that it isn't Impactful as Chronic or 2001.
The Chronic and 2001 are in my top 10 albums of all time list. By comparison there’s barely 1 song on Compton that I really enjoyed. Can’t call it a high quality album at all.
I agree, Compton doesn't touch his past works but its better than 87.5% of what's out now. I think dre had to do something great vs what he knew was bad and I don't fault him at all.
damn that was the illest diss in rap history " as one of the many artist that never saw the light of day, under legendary producer dr.dre" sheesh hear that flow
Eminem and Dre gave this guy a shot , He was no snoop dog , 50 cent etc... When Em got with dre , Em took it and set out to impress dre and go above expectations. As a new artist , you prove yourself and learn from the people who are willing to help u. If he could do it himself why did he join them.
Stat never did shit that appealed to a big audience thats why he was back burnered and dropped. Yes Compton wasn't the Detox we hoped for, nor as good as expected but it was far from wack. Ask yourself (honestly) have you ever heard anyone ever say "you heard that new Stat Quo shit?"
He would have his album out in 2007 if he would have just sang some hook. so the case def wasn't something like yeah you're trash get out lol. you didn't even read or listened to the interview dummy. Stat Quo would have been as big as Obie Trice easily
@@coldcorner9902 it still pisses me off that not liking a hook em wrote for him was enough to get him dropped. I never thought that em was so sensitive in real life.
@@_eyesauce9147 another unreleased album that is hard to get over is DJ Green Lantern's Armageddon... but he probably saw it mile away that the D Block G Unit beef was just rap beef and nothing else and thats why he didnt care even if he was kinda on Jada's side
Dr0pkidd it's a soundtrack not an album and for a soundtrack it was great. That didn't feel like a dre album at all he wasn't shooting for that and it was still great.
driboleet it's called Compton: a soundtrack by Dr.Dre lol. Damn everybody and they momma wanted this to be a album so bad but it wasnt. It doesn't even sound like a Dre album it was inspired by the movie SMH.
I thought that Compton was fucking great. It's no Chronic or 2001, but the original concept for Detox would have never lived up to the expectations that we all had set for it years ago either way. Which is most likely the reason why Dre scrapped that shit and crafted Compton. It's an evolution that blends in with the current era of rap more seamlessly than how a "Chronic 2" would have. If Dre stuck with the original concept for Detox and put that shit out, I bet money that these new generation hypebeasts would have trashed that shit for having a "classic/old school" sound to it. 💯
TheRealBeatMaster I think most the songs were solid and there was no real bad ones, however it had no real 10 out of 10 songs and it was not on par with his other albums. Although if it wasn't Dre and it was someone else who made the album with the same songs then people wouldn't be so harsh. It's just we expected Detox and we were overhyping it before it was released
Kaizer-Man the overhype is a good point, I wasn't as hyped for it, because that led to disappointment for me in the past (watch dogs) so that's why I really liked.
I remember listening to Compton the 1st time. It didn't have any tracks besides "Diary" that caught my attention. I was surprised. TBH, by the time I was done, I thought that the album felt more like a Kendrick Lamar album than a Dr. Dre album. Like Dre was trying to mimic the format of a Kendrick album. Just like how that "I Need A Doctor" track felt more like an Eminem track. That's when I knew Dre fell off. Dre is usually the one everybody else is trying to copy.
I remember him from Gainesville when he was at UF. I went there the same time as him. He was a kool guy. My brother knew him much better. I wish the brother the best.
Stat must've forgot that the age of music that were in now is in the "now". People these days don't appreciate albums anymore, they're more into the singles
Jeff Dunan i know, but he could release a whole box set of all those scrapped versions for all to hear and to make dre more bank, even if he is a billionaire.
@Phreak 209 you know damn well dre has a vault full of music, stat himself said theres a ton of dope songs with crazy collabs that may never see the light of day until dre dies. thats why he left cus dre nevre thought shit was good enough
@Phreak 209 nah man all the leaks were pretty bad. i dont remember the names now but i remember tracks with akon, nas and snoop and they just were not good. he was wise not to put them out. wasnt there even one with jay z that ended up being used for a samsung commercial or something.
wasnt wack, anderson paak was dope on it, and the originality of all the songs saved this album + the guest features gave dope verse so wheres the wack in all that? it was a decent project fuck y all
For anybody too lazy to go to the site: But pissing off the biggest rapper (at the time) also will get you in the doghouse fast and Stat admits to doing just that with Marshall Mathers. “My album would have came out but I fucked up,” he said, revisiting the story. “There was a song called ‘Dance On It’. Em wrote the chorus and Em wanted me to say the chorus. I thought it was not good. If I would have said, ‘Yeah, that’s it! That’s the one we going with!’ I would’ve got my album out. But I tried to be on some ‘Nah, I don’t like that; that ain’t a hit.’ I was really arguing with the top-selling rapper of all-time on what a fuckin’ hit was. What a dummy idiot I was!” He continued, “My exact quote was: ‘I’ll put it out if you stay on the hook’ and then I said, ‘Give me a million dollars and I’ll put it out.’ And when I said that, me and Eminem went like this [divides hands]. It was a wrap! He was mad as shit! And Dre was like, ‘Yo, you made him mad.’ And then like the next day, I like apologized with tears in my eyes. Because I’m watching my fuckin’ career go down the drain
it pisses me off that em and dre would drop him like that just because he didnt like a hook em wrote for him. I never thought that em would be that sensitive in real life, especially considering his lyrics
I thought stat quo was dope since I first heard him on “by my side” off the re-up and I had that album on cd but his argument here is wack. The lack of commercial success didn’t make “Compton” wack just like his tracks aren’t wack on the re-up. The 2 reasons I believe Compton didn’t reach the kind of success it had potential for were because of how the album was promoted and the game (and majority hiphop listeners) shifting towards trap in social media era. He should have released the album separate from Straight outta Compton. Like a year or 2 before, or a year or so after good kid maad city dropped, and I think this album would have got the recognition it deserved. Instead they released on the day after straight outta Compton dropped which was a horrible idea. I straight up thought Compton was the movie soundtrack until I listened to it. And then in terms of hiphop audience, it was not the mid 2000s anymore in 2015 where you can just drop an album as a big artist and expect success on hiphop charts or BET. The young listeners and how they listen to music changed. Dre should have been much more calculated about how he dropped the album or actually made music videos in the social media era to draw attention. Dre did neither tho which is why I think it didn’t reach its full potential in terms of reaching large audiences
Detox shouldve came out in 05..50 in his prime..Eminem still a mega star..Game a rising star..Snoop revived his career..Nate Dogg still alive..wouldve been perfect..but the ball was dropped
I think he's correct about it not resonating the way Dre's past work did but "wack" is a bit of a stretch for me. I think if you looked at it as more of a soundtrack than a new Dre album, it would be a bit different. There were some great tracks on there but for the third and final Dr. Dre album that we had been waiting on for over 15 years, it didn't quite hit that way for people. If he had treated it as a soundtrack that was going to test the waters for a Detox-level final album, the perception Might have been different.
"Dre has a good work ethic". Interesting. That's one of the reasons Tupac dissed him so hard and felt like losing him would actually help Death Row. In the recent documentary, The Defiant Ones, I recall a part where Dre was discussing how he just doesn't work if he's not inspired and that's why he basically only puts out an album a decade.
Compton is definitely Dre's second worst album (The Aftermath is the worst but some don't count it as a Dre album) but it is not whack. So many dope songs on that album and sonically it's of a higher caliber than a good majority of rap albums put out today. The reason Eminem let Stat go seems like a silly reason to me. Talk about power tripping. I respect Em as an artist and I still think he is the best rapper alive on a technical level but for all the hard shit he talks, he has thin skin when it comes to somebody criticizing or clowning on him. Too bad because I remember being so excited for Statlanta (Shady/Aftermath version).
Beats were awesome honestly but it was just missing something I wasn't expecting a chronic or chronic 2001 bc dre will go out and try something new it was just missing something for me
@@TheRealDjSilk I mean like huh as in did you produce Talking To My Diary... Bro you're amazing I can't thank ya enough homie I play that track every single day on my speakers, the beat is just so laid back, the way it comes in like damn bruv that was an amazin job. Honoured to even get a reply from the 'ducer that made that beat🔥✊🏽
I'm from the West Coast criticizing my side. Just bc I'm American doesn't mean I go along with the wrong that the country does. So you see, Stat is right! Diary...was good, it stood out because of the movie. When I listened, it was only this song that was cool. But it wasn't a banger like he/Dre use to produce. West Coast need help on our instrumentals...
Compton was good but it didn't reach mainstream success but I don't think that album was promoted like that either. Stat Quo is dope but he has to chill 😂
He was an upcoming artist who was found by Scarface. His mixtape caught the attention of Dr Dre and Dre introducd him to Eminem where he then signed with Shady Records and Aftermath. Was meant to be the next ''protege'' of Dre Dre and Eminem like 50 Cent, howeevr his debut album was pushed back until it was never released by the labels. Very much the same experience of the next ''protege'' of Dr Dre's, Slim The Mobster who's career never took off either.
So for these so called "Hardcore Rappers" they be in their f.... feelings.. he not on the label bc he told the truth.. truth hurts mfs.. Compton in all honesty Didnt really have a direction (God is your everything not a human or it shouldn't be)... he not going to perform it bc he NOT on the album all the others are..
I couldn't even buy it. It just wasn't Dre imo. Dre always brings something new and fresh. From gangsta rap to G-Funk. But Compton just didn't stand out to me as anything. Wish he would've released Detox😭😭😭
Compton mos def was not a disappointment it was just different that what I was expecting. Don't kno about everyone else but I was wishing on some of that classic G-Funk that Dre is known for.
I strongly disagree with most of the people here... So the Compton album wasn't as popular, I agree but that is because people didn't understand it until Kendrick Lamar released Damn in 2017. People expected Chronic 2001 all over again, but what we got was a glimpse into the future of what was to come. Listen to the beats and unorthodox drops on every song, these are the same techniques used in Kendrick's Album.. Of course being the same producer led Kendrick to having his album so similar. So was Compton as popular no, But it is definitely a Game Changer in terms of how the best albums nowadays are influence by the Compton album. I actually think its even better than Chronic 2001.
It’s true tho the chronic and 2001 moved the world Compton came out dropped and people didn’t even pick it up unless you were a hip hop head or a Kendrick fan it’s sad but true. I personally don’t bump it but that’s me dr dre is my all time fav producer with premier just being real
Compton wasn't wack at all. It was a solid album, yeah it wasn't better then his other two, but it's hard to follow up on albums like those, Chronic is in the top 3 or 5 Hip Hop albums of all time, 2001 is another solid album that changed things in hip hop. I understand Compton hasn't changed anything in hip hop today, but that's mostly because people are caught up in the wack era and think music today is dope, when it's not. I still think Compton was better then most albums around today.
The overall Compton album isn’t great by any means but it’s not close to wack. Dre’s voice is def not what it once was and it’s not close to Dre’s 92/99 classics but Medicine Man with great Eminem verse and Paak was dope as was couple more. Overall 3🎤/5 or so
this guy sounds ridiculous.. got dropped for making eminem angry and now apparently doing the same with dre.. he's like one of those people who thinks its their job to tell u what they think
Em's himself getting wack lately IMO. His verse on "No Favors" ft Big Sean was complete trash. Last verses I've heard from him that were good are the ones from Hell: The Sequel (ft. Royce).
Put it that way: he still has wordplay, metaphors and shit. But he's lost all of his flow. Really, take any of his last verses and replace the beat to another one - you won't notice the difference. Because he fucking sounds out of the beat regardless.
Ectron HD And for Medicine Man... Too much screaming for me. But the thing is... His voice has changed :) Maybe it's better for him to scream now. I know it's absolutely not his fault, it's just that he's not 20 now. All the people who say that Em doesn't age are wrong. He does. But sometimes he manages to hide it. Take a look at the video "Best Friend" from Yelawolf. (Em's in there, too). I find it interesting. When Eminem's hat is worn lower on his eyebrows, he seems young. But when it's more on the back of his head, you can see all of his wrinkles on his forehead. And then he seems really, really old.
Numbers don't represent quality.
Iam Pyre it's not really numbers what he's saying it's standing the test of time or marking a moment in time , classic albums aren't just good they mark a moment in time and culture that's why classics are so rare

They only reason i listen to it was gor kendrick. Everything else was trash on Compton. Straight FACTS.
You don’t say it’s wack tho, there’s a way to say things to people you consider your PEOPLE without blatantly disrespecting them
I still haven't heard Compton and don't plan on hearing it even though The chronic and 2001 are one of my favourite of all time
I like compton. deepwater and medicine man are my favourites.
lol deep water was dope
In hindsight, Stat was correct about that album. Dre & Em must like to surround themselves with “yes men”.
Compton is not wack, its not perfect by any means, but its not wack
Stat quo had some of the forest verses off that shady re-up album, fucking loved that shit
Fr dude "By My Side" is a certified classic imo from his writing to the beat selection
I remember him from Gainesville when he was at UF. I went there the same time as him. He was a kool guy. My brother knew him much better. I wish the brother the best.
I liked Compton. I still play Satisfiction and Genocide to this day.
satisfiction that shyt fam lol

Stat Quo is underrated ! he's Dope
Dre should just release Detox when the hype was at it's peak then drop it.

Rap has done a 180 degree turn to the 90's that if Dre dropped an all Westcoast album it would be another classic

Compton was good but it didn't reach mainstream success but I don't think that album was promoted like that either. Stat Quo is dope but he has to chill 😂
Compton was the biggest let down of my life.....
Dre and Em ageing rough
He told truth Compton was trash!! The tracks wit Snoop Em an 1 with kendrick an last track was all that's 4 tracks outta #20 Wack
whats the name of the song in the background????
who?
Say What Again i Dare you i Double Dare you! Lol exactly my reaction lol
He was an upcoming artist who was found by Scarface. His mixtape caught the attention of Dr Dre and Dre introducd him to Eminem where he then signed with Shady Records and Aftermath. Was meant to be the next ''protege'' of Dre Dre and Eminem like 50 Cent, howeevr his debut album was pushed back until it was never released by the labels.
Very much the same experience of the next ''protege'' of Dr Dre's, Slim The Mobster who's career never took off either.
Is this a reference to Eminem's take on Afro Jack?
Travis Bush Everybody knows Nate Dogg....State quo is a failure
Travis Bush facts
lowkey bars at the intro. her rhymes were falling legit on the snare like no business
I like this guy. He ain't no yes man. I'll take the 1st 2 chronics over compton. Almost as bad as the last Wutang album.
So for these so called "Hardcore Rappers" they be in their f.... feelings.. he not on the label bc he told the truth.. truth hurts mfs.. Compton in all honesty Didnt really have a direction (God is your everything not a human or it shouldn't be)... he not going to perform it bc he NOT on the album all the others are..
Compton was music that exactly matches my taste 99%. Top 5 album in my life. & I listen to a lot of rap
What's with all the hate toward the Compton album?
I literally paused this video to go listen to the Compton album
Stat kept it 100%
I couldn't even buy it. It just wasn't Dre imo. Dre always brings something new and fresh. From gangsta rap to G-Funk. But Compton just didn't stand out to me as anything. Wish he would've released Detox😭😭😭
Compton mos def was not a disappointment it was just different that what I was expecting. Don't kno about everyone else but I was wishing on some of that classic G-Funk that Dre is known for.
Dr dre nowadays looks like a farao mummy 😂😂😂 And eminem looks like a revived skeleton.
I strongly disagree with most of the people here... So the Compton album wasn't as popular, I agree but that is because people didn't understand it until Kendrick Lamar released Damn in 2017. People expected Chronic 2001 all over again, but what we got was a glimpse into the future of what was to come. Listen to the beats and unorthodox drops on every song, these are the same techniques used in Kendrick's Album.. Of course being the same producer led Kendrick to having his album so similar. So was Compton as popular no, But it is definitely a Game Changer in terms of how the best albums nowadays are influence by the Compton album. I actually think its even better than Chronic 2001.
It’s true tho the chronic and 2001 moved the world Compton came out dropped and people didn’t even pick it up unless you were a hip hop head or a Kendrick fan it’s sad but true. I personally don’t bump it but that’s me dr dre is my all time fav producer with premier just being real
I'M FUCKING DEAD LMMAAAOOO. He Said "We Fucked Up" HAHAHAHAHA
What good is it to have all those records .. if no one will NEVER hear them.. ??
He’s right it was wack, but I don’t know if that’s because of Dre, or just because I dont really care for the sound of modern rap.
Detox will be released in 2090
Compton wasn't wack at all. It was a solid album, yeah it wasn't better then his other two, but it's hard to follow up on albums like those, Chronic is in the top 3 or 5 Hip Hop albums of all time, 2001 is another solid album that changed things in hip hop. I understand Compton hasn't changed anything in hip hop today, but that's mostly because people are caught up in the wack era and think music today is dope, when it's not. I still think Compton was better then most albums around today.
hell naw Deep Water was the dopest track on there.
Spoke all facts.
stat was always nice
The best song on there was medicine man because Em went in
Hold up..he say "I love Dre. He's my everything?" 1:20?
Dre that dude but I'm starting to believe the rumors.
U are taking it the wrong way
Compton was wack
Stat quo went off on the 're up album
I would love to say it's wack but I never heard it 😅😅😅 and have no plans too.
Compton was gassss
what's the beat in the background?
there were so many good songs on this lmao
And he was right. Compton is wack.
People shit on 2001 when it came out because it didn't sound like The Chronic. Same shit different decade.
that album was beyond wack
why does stat quo look like play of Kid n` Play ...ain't gonna hurt nobody... fof flat out funny
absolutely
The overall Compton album isn’t great by any means but it’s not close to wack. Dre’s voice is def not what it once was and it’s not close to Dre’s 92/99 classics but Medicine Man with great Eminem verse and Paak was dope as was couple more. Overall 3🎤/5 or so
Good album
this guy sounds ridiculous.. got dropped for making eminem angry and now apparently doing the same with dre.. he's like one of those people who thinks its their job to tell u what they think
lit ep.
I swear the Compton album was BANGER how the fuck can't you like Kendrick And Eminem joints on this album
Em's himself getting wack lately IMO. His verse on "No Favors" ft Big Sean was complete trash.
Last verses I've heard from him that were good are the ones from Hell: The Sequel (ft. Royce).
+driboleet Medicine Man?
Put it that way: he still has wordplay, metaphors and shit. But he's lost all of his flow. Really, take any of his last verses and replace the beat to another one - you won't notice the difference. Because he fucking sounds out of the beat regardless.
***** I a gree
Ectron HD
And for Medicine Man... Too much screaming for me. But the thing is... His voice has changed :) Maybe it's better for him to scream now. I know it's absolutely not his fault, it's just that he's not 20 now.
All the people who say that Em doesn't age are wrong. He does. But sometimes he manages to hide it.
Take a look at the video "Best Friend" from Yelawolf. (Em's in there, too). I find it interesting. When Eminem's hat is worn lower on his eyebrows, he seems young. But when it's more on the back of his head, you can see all of his wrinkles on his forehead. And then he seems really, really old.
Compton should’ve never been released simple as that
