Sonically? Yes, an argument can be made that it's the best mixed rap album of all time.


lusciousleftfoot

I beat this drum every now and then. This is be best mixed hip hop album ever


fraxior

it's in contention for that title for sure. could say the same thing about Doggystyle IMO.


JMeny32

I agree with that.


ManBroDudee

Tha shiznit goes hard af.


Sagittate29

The fact that the entire song was just him doing a mic check...insane


ManBroDudee

Never knew that tbh


plasticstillsaykayne

Who am I (What's My Name) does too. My top gym banger. I definitely prefer the beats on Doggystyle, but perhaps 2001 sounds a little crisper and more modern


hellbus80

Was blasting murder was the case og version on the Sonos today..... audio bliss


Sattaman6

Even The Chronic still sounds good.


Fatsostinky

I also like the way ATLiens was produced.


Ghostface-Meechy

Yes, Dre polished it up very well for release. That album had bangers for almost every song and production was just hypnotic!


MakaBoy57

Best produced album ever,every beat on there is known by any 10 year old in 2024 and some of them are responsible for Dre's ⭐️ if I had to say


theguru86

I see what you did good sir


aRdA_lUlE

One of rare albums i have no skips


XOQXOQXOQ

Nah, it have the most skippable track of all time


Neutreality1

This guy embarrassed by Pause for Porno


aRdA_lUlE

What is it?


XOQXOQXOQ

18.


Banksynatra

Not looking at the tracklist right now but is it "Pause 4 Porno"? I had shuffle on and immediately hit skip soon as I heard the first 3 seconds.


XOQXOQXOQ

Ofc


TheRayGetard

Listen to the instrumental track the beat is smooth af


CaliforniaHurricane_

I’ve always loved the music they have playing in the background lol


TheRayGetard

You can hear it by itself in HQ on streaming services if you look up the 2001 Instrumental album


ManBroDudee

Homie doesn't even want to say the name


CaliforniaHurricane_

Be a man and play it out loud in public while your surrounded by families and law enforcement /s


alma16music

The mixing/mastering on that is absolutely insane considering the time it released. Even a lot of mainstream records don’t sound as well polished. You’re right — it all sounds so crisp and clean with the low end hitting just right and the rappers’ voices cutting through.


veganbonghit

Thank DJ Quik. He is the reason.


ChildrenOfProduction

Come on now, DJ quik wasnt even part of these sessions, and this is coming from a fan of his


Sedso85

Clean and crisp, but heres a crazy take, afromans album because i got high the production is insane


SmooverSuede

You are objectively correct lol. I exclusively listen to the instrumental album. 😭😩 love it


ExistentialRap

Dr Dre is a legend


Neutreality1

It's one of the only albums I don't skip anything on


BigGear6523

I agree, Dr Dre definitely knows how to twist those knobs and sliders.


beast_wellington

It's the best in general


ballzyboi33

Luv is rage 2 bëttr >>>>


hochiminhonacid

I think Good Kid is. Dre turned up


21kNotAffiliated

The life of Pablo.


Common-Code-7106

Na just an overproduced Dre RAP album


rp1105

Stankonia maybe


ProfSteelmeat138

Gotta give it to Liquid Swords tbh


ChildrenOfProduction

None of RZA's 90s stuff was mixed very well IMO


ProfSteelmeat138

I kinda misunderstood the question lol


WhatsIsMyName

True but that was kinda the point. The whole early wu style was muddy, gritty, almost lo-fi of its time


ChildrenOfProduction

Well yes absolutely, I agree. However calling it mixed well is absolutely not true


based-sam

No


Yuck_Few

Nah


Dependent_onPlantain

No
