I hated that album



ATLiens was their best... and I really liked SouthernPlayallisticCadillacRapMusic. Aquemeni was when Outkast began to become sellouts and pop-stars

I also agree with

Me Against the World is way better

12/4/2005 10:03:29 PM

All eyes on me is better than both of them, there are just too many songs.

Makevelli has like 3 really good songs and the rest is just eh...

I think the fact that it was his last album before he got killed boosts its rating.

But they're all good.

12/4/2005 11:07:11 PM

dre's 2001 has my favorite beats on any rap album by far.

12/4/2005 11:30:10 PM

Anyone ever find out what happened to Detox?

12/4/2005 11:30:56 PM

Dre's beats are consistently better than anyones, period. It pisses me off that some of them are wasted on that no tallent ass clown 50 cent. Fortunately, most of that shit on his last album was produced by someone else...although dre's stamp was still on it.

^Good question. Last I heard he just didnt like where it was going. Personally, I'm glad he stopped cause it would probably have been littered with shit from 50 and g-unit, and Eminem kinda fell of on that last album. I expect nothing less than perfect if he releases it.

12/4/2005 11:49:11 PM

Heltah Skeltah - Nocturnal

12/5/2005 3:55:41 PM
