All In A Years Work

Just when we gave up all hope that Detox would ever happen, Andre Young shocked the world with a fully body of work. While his amazing N.W.A movie, Straight Outta Compton celebrates his historic past, this music is all about the future: New sounds, new flows, new energy. No matter how long it takes, some things are worth the wait.—EW

  2. Jumpman says:

    I don’t follow this overproduced mainstream shit. Dr. Dre fell off hard.

      Nobody cares, Sonic! Fuck off and stick to your bullshit trap posts. Take your meds with your multiple personality having ass #PillsAreGood

  3. @tr_414 says:

    This album was ridiculous. Production was definitely on point plus it sounds incredible through the studio monitors.

  4. Coney says:

    This album had a few bangers but honestly haven’t listened to it again since it came out. No replay value at all

    1. Dafuq says:

      I agree. It was a cool album, a few stand out tracks, but the replay value for me is low as well. If I wanna listen to some Dre shit I go for the Chronic or 2001.

      I haven’t even listened to this one since August.

    2. Kris Kompute says:

      The Dre brand made mfs believe this album was good and it wasn’t. No one has listened to this shit since the summer.

      Y’all comments and reason for the negative reasons on this album explains the death of quality in Hip-Hop in general! Y’all suck!

  10. prince cody says:

    NAH YN we weren’t feeling this and when I say we I mean me lmao. this album just lacked cohesiveness it’s called a soundtrack but it reminds me of American Gangster which was like the soundtrack to the soundtrack, comparing those two albums obviously jays a mc and dre is more of a producer Production was amazing but the concepts and lyrics didn’t have me coming back in the words of honorable DJ KHALED “You played yourself” YN lmao

  11. thedeamkid19 says:
