These were the words which have been very common in my mind ever since i bought Dr. Dre 2001 a couple of years ago, and i have been listening nearly constantly to it since. Out of my sarcastically HUGE album collection of about 15, this one has always and will always probably be my favourite; some how, i don't know how he did it, but Dre actually has produced an album i can listen to over and over again, without getting easily bored, like many others make me.
It has a good vibe to it with all of the actual rap tracks on the album being very good and well produced and well, everything else really. The reason i say 'actual rap tracks' is that there are quite a few "skits"; meaning little short tracks which include talking, bouncing suspension of cars, acting a script - and even on one of the skits is named pause4porno! These may be quite funny the first few times but they can get quite tedious and it is likely you will turn into an all-to-familiar "boring track skipper". I do not usually like it when a person listening to an album just doesnt like a certain track as much as the next, and will just exclaim "this track is crap. I'm gonna skip to no. 7, my favourite!" which mean they will never get to know or like the skipped track and will be a "track skipper" all his life, - but with these few interludes you have to eventually.
Asides this bad point to the album, the songs are great, my favourite track being "what's the difference?", a track not released to the charts, is still amazing. It features Dre, Xzibit and Eminem, its quite basey with a with each rapper having a verse (all rapping at their best I must include) and with Dre in the chorus.
Overall this Album is absolutly great, with the exception of the skits. The albums main topics are Weed, drug, guns and women, similar to many other rap artists like Dre. But here he has a brilliant album, different somehow to most.
