@Chris Molanphy: If no one else is going to take the bait I'll chime in. About 3/4 of the album is amazing, but tracks like "Lyrical Gangbang" and "High Powered" kinda plod along. The extreme sexism and homophobia don't help.

At the same time, when he says "motherfucker I'm Dre" in "Let Me Ride" it's hard to argue. It's true in a literal sense, but also in the sense that you aren't Dre and that there's no way your beats will ever be that fresh.

@K-Rex: I never knew that was a caveat, but I see your point. However, if you replaced 40s of OE with cans of Sparks, would your maxim still ring true?

@Dan Gibson: It's not ironic if it's free.

@Weezy F Baby: I have no problem with 40s, just with people who choose their alcoholic beverages ironically.

@Weezy F Baby: Word. In this economy, a free 40 is nothing to laugh at.

I think uptight music writers who scoff at free 40s run more of a risk of sucking the fun out of this event than free 40s.

Sacrilegious debate du jour: Dre's The Chronic is an important, pivotal album but not a great album. Discuss.

@How do I say this ... THROWDINI!: Oh, but just so I'm not a hater, the JJ Fad video was a good touch.

Nothing from the D.O.C. either, damn.

@Rob Murphy: Ha! That's the only reason I clicked through.
