Hip-Hop
I'm quickly done with that again today. Hip hop is not music. I listened to the album briefly, played 3 tracks and was immediately satisfied. That was all I needed. It's not my genre. 1/5
I tried and didn't make it far. I'm not going to force myself to listen to it.
This is one of those albums that seems so ridiculous, lyrically, that I just find it very difficult to take seriously. Pointless waste of talent. I say talent because the musicality on this is actually pretty good. But then it just goes down the worst route possible. Obviously, I am not the target audience, but it kind of worries me that anyone would be. Grim.
I'll listen to anything, I gave it a go, I just wish I could give it zero. What's the point of rap if doesn't make a point, if it's not eloquent? This is a million miles from 'The Message', 'White Lines', 'Fight The Power' or even 'The Magic Number'. Sad that so much rap went in the wrong direction. And it has to be said, their attitude to women is shocking.
Pretty much unlistenable for me. I tried, I really did, but it had all the filth of an Eminem album, without the anger and strong feelings. This just had bad words and bad attitude. I didn't like it
Es mag ja vielleicht wichtig gewesen sein, aber es ist meiner Meinung nach nicht gerade gut gealtert. Die Texte sind misogynistisch und homophob. Darauf kann ich gerne verzichten.
Dr. Dre? Dr. Eadful more like, an hour of pure shite, why is this on here? Singing about bitches all the time makes you sound dumb
When you point out to people who like this stuff that the music part of the music sucks, they typically point to the poetic quality of the lyrics. So I think it's kind of funny to note that the poetry on this CD includes such intricate meter as: "Eazy-E can eat a big fat dick Tim Dog can eat a big fat dick Luke can eat a fat dick" Yeah, so this guy rhymed "dick" with "dick" twice consecutively. Pass.
Too explicit for me
Not my vibe. The constant jabs at his former band mates and the use of the n word put me off.
couldn't do it
You can like it if you want, and I respect that, but I will never listen to it again.
Not my cup of tea. While the artists are undeniable talented in their genre, I couldn't get past the lyrics.
no.
Garbage
All N-words and MFers...not my jam.
Sorry bro, it hurts. I can do it. 2 stars
Dre(a)dful
1 hour long listening to the following words creatively being used: bitches, ho, dick/nuts, N'&&@$, Longbeach, motherfuk@, and let's not forget the references to themselves and the record label. All in all an album that will not be listened to again.
'90s gangsta rap is a huge Hawaiian pizza, but I don't like pineapples. I've tried, but the music and my personal tastes are simply incompatible.
Not feeling it
I am not so sure I had to listen to this before I die.
Nope
Yuck
Does not age well. Catchy, but I can definitely see the point of all the reviewers who say this album killed hip hop.
I’m sure it’s absolutely perfect. A work of art but when you’ve spent the last 7 years trying to tell your son to put his Willy away it’s a bit exhausting hearing all about Dre and where he wants to put his. Freud would love to examine him I’m sure
Beat fine. Lyrics and sentiments don’t
Not my thing - but 30 years later, it all sounds a bit ridiculous
I could not get through it. I am not a fan of hip hop or rap in general, but sometimes there is some semblance of melody that I can appreciate even if I don't like the vocals. I guess it's a classic, but this doesn't have much for me at all.
A lot of nonsense lyrics and unnecessary parts. Very disappointed.
I feel like this is gonna be a hot take, but the production was actually my least favorite part of the album. I didn’t mind the misogyny and dick jokes. But the shrill synth all over this album? Absolutely unlistenable: ear blood. And the jingle bells/tambourine that starts at the top of 4 and doesn’t end until the end of track 5 was so painful. My ears heaved a sigh of relief when it ended.
Don't like rap in general. Absolutely hate these lyrics! Could not get through this. There should be an option to give a 0.
Hip hop, gangsta, ou seja, não é para mim.
I really don't get this. It's just swear words, homophobia, and misogyny over something resembling a beat. Is this supposed to make people feel tough? It just pushes the worst kind of male ego nonsense.
Oof, gangsta rap. This album sounds great. The vibes are funky, the bass is bouncy and the fluid synth lines are excellent. I always liked the way Dre updated the P-funk feel. But I just can't get past the lyrics. It's so violent, so misogynistic, so homophobic, it just makes me feel sick to play it. I just can't.
Really just terrible
# 193 : Very dated with misogynistic lyrics and unnecessary language. You know what I'm saying?
Do not like rap music
Nothing But A G Thang is great but I can't do a whole album of this, so much of it is infantile and I find it pretty boring.
Gangster rap definitely not for me
Violent, misogynistic and offensive. Has not aged well. 1
Well I listened to this,.....um.....not......my.....thing.
This kind of music will never not be awful
just not for me!
This is the kind of thing that made me dislike rap. I am way out of the target audience here but the mostly middle-school level lyrics about how tough they are, how they treat the "bitches', guns, weed, blah blah. I don't have a problem with the abundance of n#$%az and motherf$%&ers, that is the language they used in their lives. I'm just not sure what they are trying to convey other than "don't fuck with me". Take away the lyrics and the beats were cool, although a bit dated now.
Too much swearing for me
yuck
Nam
Ich kann etwas davon abgewinnen, aber nicht wirklich meins. 2.5/10
Managed about half. I was determined to listen to it all but the continual use of certain words in every song put me off
I don’t like.
Meh. Rap.
I'm apparently not this guy's target audience.
I don‘t enjoy lyrics where every third word is „motherfxxxer“
Not interested in this genre - lyrics often come across angry...I can only imagine why.
I don't need this. I'm sure Dr. Dre made a difference in music culture with this album, but I can do without all the foul language. Not my style.
Putrid. I hate Gangsta rap and this is putrid by gangsta standards.
Not for me
I really wanted to like this album. What I listened to was enjoyable if you could get past the lyrics. Maybe I'm just an old white guy, but the pervasive language and incessant n-word is just too much. What you listen to is how you speak, and I just can't be someone who talks like that.
1/5. Just awful. Horrific. Glad to see this is what kids in the inner-city were listening to. Hasn’t changed a bit. Horrible messages, but it seems to be a cultural thing.
Not my kind of music
Not a fan
Just not my style
not into gangsta rap and hated this in particular
Motherfuckin terrible from motherfuckin start to motherfuckin finish, Motherfuckers.
West coast bitches trying to act hard
Das Positive: Der Flow ist gut. Das Negative: Alles andere. Im Hintergrund zum Teil quälend nervige Quietschgeräusche, die in den Ohren weh tun. Alle Tracks klingen für mich mehr oder weniger gleich, es gibt wenig Variation. Aber das Schlimmste und ein absolutes No-Go sind die Lyrics. Dass gefühlt jedes zweite Wort motherfucker, bitch oder das N-Wort ist, ist dabei noch das kleinere Problem. Richtig abstoßend finde ich, wie sehr hier Gewalt glorifiziert wird und Frauen systematisch abgewertet werden. Zeilen wie „Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks/Lick on deez nutz and suck the dick/Get's the fuck out after you're done/And I hops in my ride to make a quick run.“ lassen ein Weltbild erkennen, das nicht mit meinen Werten vereinbar ist. Sie zeugen zudem von einem Reifegrad, den ich bei einem Teenager aber nicht bei einem erwachsenen Mann erwarten würde. Mehr von dem Zeug brauche ich wirklich nicht.
Exactly what I expected. This album just does absolutely nothing for me, I’m not sure I could pick out anything I liked. That’s an hour of my life I’m never getting back. 1/5
Not my favorite 1 of 5
Everything I do not like about hiphop
A bit sweary.
Not for me.
Don't like this one much. Very braggadocios and full of not very creative sexual humor, prominent in most songs. Decent beats though.
Dre ei pärjää Ice Cubelle lainkaan. Tältä aikakaudelta kyllä tulee paljon parempaakin räppiä.
not my taste
Wtf was that random sex audio in the middle about. Ew.
Garbage that helped legitimize thug culture. This album should have been titled "De-evolution: 13-90". IYKYK...
im sorry but these lyrics were so uncreative and boring
Just as East Coast hip hop was exploding with lyrical imagination and sonic innovation, "The Chronic" arrived as if on cue to send hip hop into a vulgar, willfully stupid tailspin. Dispensing with the cultural insight and authenticity of N.W.A., "The Chronic" is a lurid pageant of pointless cruelty and Parliament-aping soundscapes. Cheap thrills shift units in suburbia, so countless clones cashed in, leaving the rest of the '90s mired in toxically masculine gangster rap and nu metal. I don't merely dislike this album; I resent it.
I might not have listened to the lyrics too closely, but it really seemed like every second word was 'motherfucker'.
Rap isn't really my thing, but the only part I liked from this was snoop dog.
This one isnt for me. I can't agree with the language being used and it just isnt one that I will listen to again.
So basically fuck bitches get money type vibes. Never again.
I've been told that George Clinton is the most sampled artist going. That is certainly true of Let Me Ride and The Outro. All I can say is if The Mothership Connection is not in this collection then there is something seriously wrong with the people who compiled it. The rest of this album is not too hot, but some is OK. Wouldn't spend any money on it though.
Nope. Lyrics and language = an immediate switch off. I’m not adverse to a bit of a potty mouth, but this is relentless from the start, hard to work out any odd word in between!
Send all copies of it to outer space, delete it out of the collective consciouness MIB-style and let the aliens deal with it
Not my bag, baby. Just not my bag. I gave it a chance and then when it got to the track Deeez Nuuuts I knew I couldn't listen to a minute more of this absurdly infantile yet crass and misogynistic crap. Truly, look at the lyrics to that track. Cringe! This has not aged well and probably shouldn't have been recorded in the first place.
p698. 1992. 1 star. Shit-hop. Foul mouthed, violent, macho posturing, misogynistic and badly dated rubbish. Sample lyrics: fuck, hoe, fuck y'all, motherfucker, nigga, suck my dick, bitch. Repeat per track.
I can't finish listening to this album. I just can't stand this genre.
Awful. Couldn't finish it.
Beautiful and eloquent lyrics, very respectful to women... 🙄
really dislike the sentiments from the lyrics, but if they could just rap in a different language and keep the beats I'd like that
Just... whyyyyy. Why so many sex noises??
I tried, i really tried. The music he samples is pretty good but the lyrical assault was just too much for me. There are only so many bitches, niggaz and gun references that i can take. Chronic would have been a better title for it.
What is this? There has to be good, 'old school', '90s hip-hop on this list... but this is not it. I tried to listen. I really did. And I switched it off after playing the first song on low volume. I have no desire to hear about your penis and what you want to do with women approximately once every ten seconds.
Not for me
Painful
¿Why would I want to listen to this? - Upset with record companies. - Ungraceful discussions of human anatomy. - Racist terms that I wouldn't repeat. - Misogeny and praise for violence. Skip, skip, skip. Just because you can say it doesn't mean you should. "Yeah, yeah".
Subtract the baseless boasting, n-bombs and mf-bombs, and you’ll have a six-minute album of awfully catchy beats and skits about weed. That’s not bad! But you have to get through the rest to get to it.
Dre is cancelled :/
Let Me Ride ,Nuthin But A G Thang.
Zapomnijmy o tym jak najszybciej, Patryku.
Most of this is pretty gross. Difficult to believe this guy spent seven years at medical school. Rating: 1.5/5 Playlist track: Nuthin' But A "G" Thang Date listened: 27/03/23
Gähn. Ganz toll. Nächste bitte!
Some of the musical elements on here are great, but I am past the point in my life where I want to spend an hour + of my life listening to men whinging about ‘b•tches’ and what they want to do to / with them.
Couldn’t actually access this to stream but I am making an assumption (could be very wrong) that for me this isn’t a great loss
Had to listen on shuffle on a SoundCloud stream as it's not on Amazon, think I covered most of it. Really disappointing, quite like Dre so didn't expect it to be 100% themed on drugs and dicks, a complete regression from NWA which had better beats and where the bravado made much more sense as a pushback against the police. Here it's just offensive, won't listen again.
Maybe I'm a fuddy-duddy but there is just way too much profanity to make listening to this enjoyable. I also found myself preferring the parts Snoop sang more than Dre, but seeing as this isn't a Snoop album, it was another strike against it. One of the very few albums I've chosen to not finish
Although I understand the importance to the genre, I found it boring and did not enjoy it.Hearing some of Snoop's non solo work was probably the highlight for me.
Ik kon het album niet op Spotify luisteren, dus 1 ster
Hørte egt ikke på det. Var ikke tilgjengelig på Spotify. Men dette er ikke så pen musikk i mine øyne.
Album unavailable on Amazon Music.
Just not a rap fan
63 minuter lång pina. Borde tillhöra kategorin 1001 skivor som kommer spelas i helvetet.
Not available anywhere online?
Nope! Couldn’t do it! I tried but just couldn’t do it!
Can't listen, it doesn't exist anywhere. What a shame.
just no
Can't listen in uk
Oof, gangsta rap. This album sounds great. The vibes are funky, the bass is bouncy and the fluid synth lines are excellent. I always liked the way Dre updated the P-funk feel. But I just can't get past the lyrics. It's so violent, so misogynistic, so homophobic, it just makes me feel ill to play it. I just can't.
Not for me, but I can see why enjoyers of the genre would be into it
Absoluut mijn ding niet
Snoop says I can't listen to this so I guess I won't
School children arguing
No thanks
Nah
hm
Can't get past all the language to enjoy the music. 1/5
hated it
Йоооу репчик, банда, все дела, не мое
Juvenile, obnoxious, moronic, laughable. But well mixed.
not my jam
This was the soundtrack for white frat boys in my first year of college, who for some reason wanted to play at being hard. First 30 seconds, it's all about dicks and guns and assaultin' the ladies. Aggressively homophobic. Insecure as shit. Snoop lets you know he's in the motherfuckin' house a number of times. I hated this then, I hate it now. 3 Feet High and Rising better be on this list somewhere, because jeez.
Ruim
Uninteresting musically, basically just simple beats repeated. Colourful language aside, the lyrics aren't particularly engaging either. More than anything, just somewhat boring?
Zero stars for the lyrics. Are you old enough to remember the moral panic over vulgar, violent and misogynistic gangsta rap lyrics? Yeah, this is that.
Dr. Dre... dit wilde ik toch effe proberen, maar helaas! Ik denk dat een later album van 'm mij wat meer gaat bevallen.
Bullshit
1.5
So I listened to the songs that did not have expletives and… oh that would be none. Sorry Dr D. I’m not nutzzz about the lyrics. Did have good beat in Nothing bout
