Talk:2001 (Dr. Dre album)/GA1

GA Review

• Lead needs work; split into two/three paragraphs, etc. etc.
• First quote in Concept section makes little sense without context... what's the last album, what are the magazines talking about, etc. etc.
• I'm never happy to see a section with more quoting than own-words.
• "Royce Da 5'9" was used as a ghostwriter on the album, however, when that information was leaked to the media by Royce's then-manager, Royce was disassociated with Dr. Dre. One track, "Xxplosive", was even retouched; the original version named "The Way I Be Pimpin'" and had Dr. Dre rapping by himself and featured Royce's vocals on the chorus, which were removed. The track was later released on Dr. Dre's mixtape, Pretox." - sources?
• "Scott Storch talked of how..." - who's he?
• "Erlewine talked of how the amount and quality of guest rappers affected the album, stating "Why does a producer as original as Dre work with such pedestrian rappers? Perhaps it's to ensure his control over the project, or to mask his own shortcomings as an MC, but the album suffers considerably as a result" and also criticised the lyrics, which he said were repetitive and full of "gangsta clichés"" - long and hard to read
• It didn't chart in Australia?
• Impact section is pretty much OR without some sourcing...

Overall it's OK for GA standards (bar the stuff above), but still a while off FA. Leave me a note when done. Cheers, giggy _(:O) 08:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I've taken care of everything except if it charted in Australia. Do you know what site could source that info ? - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 18:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
