Nah, this Compton record still knocks. Third listen, still loving it. Also, I wouldn't mind a new Xzibit record. I don't think he's got the money for it though.
Yeah I've listened through it like 5+ times and still loving it. It's crafted so well, production is amazing. The weak rapping becomes more noticeable the more I listen to it though, but only in a few spots. And I can't fuck with the people saying Eminem "went in" on his verse... That is the most grating verse on the album to me. Dude is straight up just screaming, no variation in delivery or flow, just like he's been the last 5-10 years. Kendrick, however, is so enjoyable on all his verses. He just sounds perfect over these Dre beats. Song with Snoop is fire, Ice Cube not so much. Overall I really like it a lot. At worst 8/10, at best 9/10. Gotta see how it grows on me over time.
Edit- In other news, am I the only one still listening to Summertime '06 on the reg? I just can't get enough of it. I took a break from it for a while when DS2 came out but I'm still going back to it. Thinking it's gotta be my AOTY right now. Tix just went on sale for Rocky, Danny, Tyler and Vince in the Chi for late September, $50. Think I gotta go to this. I've seen Danny and he's amazing live, and I'd be down to check the other three.
