As an audiophile, this album was one of the most inspiring for me as far as instrumentals. Lyrics... they're good. Rhymes... they're VERY good. But the production from Dre on this album is near flawless. Talk About It is a fast-paced club banger, Deep Water is a distorted messy mix (which is a good thing) including Kendrick Lamar's goosebump-inducing entrance, One Shot One Kill is a driving, fun, guitar loop for easy bars, For the Love of Money is a toned-down fast-paced vibe with killer verses from Jon Connor, and Talking to My Diary is a classic, lowrider, gangsta vibe that I could listen to all day. All of the features in this albums are absolutely fantastic. Every rapper utilizes... no, DESTROYS his verses. This whole album is a fun and wild ride for me, at least.
