He also decided not to concentrate on rap, signing urban R\u0026amp;B acts as well as hip-hop. Aftermath's initial release was the various-artists compilation Dr. Dre Presents...The Aftermath and one listen proves that Dre wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't interested in gangsta anymore. There are a number of rappers on The Aftermath, even a handful of hardcore rappers, but nothing fits into the standard G-funk template. The true revelation of the album is Dre's skill for urban R\u0026amp;B and soul, all of which sounds fresh and exciting compared to several of the fairly pedestrian hip-hop tracks. Despite the success of these urban productions, none of the actual performers make much of an impact -- the tracks are impressive only because they demonstrate Dre's musical versatility and skill. In fact, the two tracks that really stand out -- Dre's stately, sexy \"Been There Done That\" and the powerful \"East Coast\/West Coast Killas,\" which features cameos by B-Real, KRS-One, Nas, and RBX -- are a combination of terrific production and personality, which is usually what results in great singles. But that doesn't mean that The Aftermath is a washout. Instead, it's a promising fresh start for Dre that is full of potential and enough great music to make it a vital listen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFORMAT: \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eCompact Disc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION: \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eBrand New\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGENRE:  \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eRap \/ Hip Hop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUPC:\u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003e  606949004422\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLABEL:  \u003cspan style=\"color: #226cdd;\"\u003eAftermath\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNO.
