and he let it play through twice. I had the same reaction to this as I did the Slum album (if you can call it that) from earlier this year: I didn't dislike it, but I'll probably never play it again. The production comes off as the musical version of the old man in the club, showing up in clothes the young boys wear knowing he's well beyond that sort of thing.
If he wanted to make a companion piece to the movie (not interested in that either) after being inspired by it, I think that's a great thing-sometimes taking a look back at yourself can have that effect on an artistic person. But Dre and the rest of his peers (Primo, Pete, etc) are entitled at this point to indulge creatively in whatever they choose, and I can respect that.
