it would have been another classic for Dre. It would have dropped right when people would have been ready for an album and he still would have had enough of a connection (and a creative spirit as well) to the mainstream that he could have pulled off 'the last classic hip-hop album'.

by now, things have changed so much in the mainstream being that there's a new generation of MC's and the stylistic sound of the music is different that I don't think even if Dre was on top of his creative abilities that he would have the insight into this current generation to make something like the OG Chronic or 2001.
