Editorial Reviews

The Wash joins the myriad plotless, hip-hop-fuelled B-movies that carry smoking soundtracks produced by A-list knob twiddlers. As the accolades for multiplatinum producer Dr. Dre continue to pile up, his emphasis on producing funk-heavy tracks like "On the Boulevard" and the self-titled track (featuring fellow ex-Death Row dream teamer Snoop Dogg) reignites the flame that made their earlier work on The Chronic some of the best in rap's history. Likewise, when Busta Rhymes takes his testosterone-fuelled flows to mountainous heights over some eerie, futuristic keyboard stylings from the good Dr. Dre on "Holla," it proves that anything touched by Dre (even in this executive producer capacity) is worthwhile. The only real disappointments come when some of the talented rappers assembled waste their airtime with shallow raps about fast money, slinky chicks, and downright tomfoolery. Eminem and his bizarro D12 homies are unfortunately at their profane worst on "Blow My Buzz." Meanwhile, on "Get F---ed Up with Me," Xzibit touts the benefits of swigging brew and smoking doobies all day. Overall, this is a well-balanced effort that should sit well with funksters into beats and rhymes by left-coasters Soopafly and Knoc-turn'al. When neo-soulster du jour Bilal drops by to turn it out falsetto-style on "Bring 2," you know this one's a keeper. --Dalton Higgins

4.0 out of 5 stars Aftermath holdin' it down, November 8, 2001

By	C. Page (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Overall, I'd say that this album is pretty tight. The rap is good, though I have to say I'm not feeling the R&B tracks too much as they reminded me of the first Aftermath compilation. (A few more listens through and they may grow on me.) On the other hand, Dre and Snoop are in fine form as always, Busta Ryhmes is out in space somewhere waiting for all of us to catch up, and regardless of what Amazon's review said, D12's track is a cool little party jam. It should be noted here that Eminem produced this track. Very, very nice work. His skills are somewhat slept on as a producer and they shouldn't be. Same thing goes for SupaFly. Very slept on, but very dope.

All in all this CD is definitely a worthwhile purchase. I mean, we get Dre, Snoop, Em, and one of the phattest tracks in recent memory by Busta Rhymes. What more do you want?

4.0 out of 5 stars Dre keeps em comin, February 26, 2002

By	Jacob Hanks (Ka0TicOn3) - See all my reviews

This was a tighter album then I thought it would be. I would give it more than 4 stars but less than 5. All the songs are good but "No" can be passed up. The only reason it's not a 5 is that lyricaly the content is empty. As always there is no message or feelings that the songs stir except the urge to blaze, you know? Like I said, all tracks are pretty dope but I'm diggin Bilal's "Bring 2" a ChronicClassic.
