Huge album, almost every track is great. For Dre to have such a long break then come back with this timeless classic is amazing. It still sounds fresh to this day.

Fave tracks?
 
Rap = lose on OcUK.

I like still dre,whats the difference and next episode. Probably like a few more from that album but cant remember the names.

Still dre/next episode still gets played at the clubi go to . :D
 
2 good replys, yeah doesn't seem like there's many into hip-hop here, but what do you expect on a mainly Pc forum haha :D

"It's either my life or your life, I aint leaving, I like breathing"

Some funny lyrics on that album definitely
 
I like dre but i also like a bit of notorious.....i like the lyrics and most songs have a decent meaning to them. I also like Luda because his songs are more upbeat and are pretty damn funny.

**** it. I pretty much like everybody.....Xzibit,dmx,some 50 etc etc etc
 
Yeah Biggie was SICK... Nas is right pretty much when he says Hip-hop is now dead. Course there is still some good stuff being made but its nearly all over

Seems to me you've got a pretty damn basic knowledge of hip-hop.

Maybe mainstream stuff is dead but as far as im aware there is a lot out there.....just look for it. ;)

I had never heard of Josh Martinez......but hes got some pretty good music.

Agreed! The new Brother Ali album basically dictates that Nas is full of **** and that hip hop is more alive than it's ever been!
 
I used to love off the dre 2001, always used to play the tunes so many classics. I've got the album on 12" vinyl too.

My mate used to call it his bible lmao
 
very very good album

nas - illmatic , is possibly the only rap album id choose over it, maybe straight out of compton too


lets hope his next one is just as good since hes taken even longer on it , not holding my breath like itl probably dissapoint :(

mainstream "gangsta" rap stuff these days is awful , if you look deeper and a bit different youll find some great rap/hip hop stuff though

anyone hears the new kanye west stuff ? pure awful , for "the best producer in the world" as im sure hes called himself it seems like hes just completley gave up on producing and decided to just rap some awful lyrics over exsisting tracks :p

Center the tone into the domain, no main, propane flame or butane to the opening with an offering,
It's not often that I wanna but I'm gonna make a point, cause I wanna put the so-and-sos impose on tip toes,
Spit those hipto crypto cryogenic thesis, he's as nice as watching ballerina's teemless meters reappear,
Appear a wedding hero, zero tolerence, abolishing wack mc's, please mister politician don't feed us your empty promises,
It's obvious you're oblivious but not impervious, and still you will crumble, stay humble, still number one.

(tonight, alright)

Enslaved by luxury, to me your source of pain is not entertainment.
Desires and ruined payers transposing the fantasy.
Enjoy views, but don't listen, it's your frame of reference I discard.
Audio sport Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
Fire wire, hair dryer in the bathtub, I shock.
Dixie cup, when to frail communicate hero
then waited like dust caps on five watts.
Tapeworm recorder, a border, gazzelle, gordon cattrell.
Watch the top granola get rude like junk food.
King vitamin on top of the food chain, rugburns.
Run around the field but never move like a fence.
Vital vinyl ricital title idle no rival.
Your pants, flaccid, inactive, speechless like your mouth.

Wobbly Sayyid, slim like a ten speed.
These mcs take heed when I project with 300 cc's.
Past his toll booth, past your whole crew...
Wow! Who's that cat who just threw my neck like a quarterback?
I want his autograph.
Females on my dick for my phonographs, making moves on the floor like a pornograph.
Got the mad soul, you can hear the chemistry.
EB turn up the frequency!

I buried him in the side...with the beats or a cappella in the streets, we could do it any time...

I got ghosts in the lawn, where my foreman thrown on the floor. Like scorn, you're torn to the barn. I heard a sound and came back to see what was going on...then I turned up the song

as much as I like dre...he's not that good, really.

neither is nas.

We're allowed to say porno on here.

2001 was one of my favourite albums for a while. I don't listen to much black music these days but that and Cypress Hill still get a blast most weeks.
