I’ve relistened to like, the entire Aftermath/Shady discography twice in the last two days, and it’s really weird how much Dr Dre’s albums feel like the bananain Avengers movies of rap music. No matter who he features, an Eminem album is an Eminem album and a 50 album is a 50 album, but Dre’s later two albums - ESPECIALLY 2001 - feel more stylistically like crossovers between his original Chronic brand and whoever’s featuring. Great example: “What’s the Difference” has that west coast g-funk production at the start, but by the time we get to Em’s verse it sounds like something you’d hear on the MMLP with the weird voices and sound effects and Fluffle Puff. It’s fun, I like it, but it’s weird
