I like it because it's jimmy iovine for one, and it's about a whole range of music i was fairly oblivous to in the 90s as it was happening. It's so well done too

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I loved 90's gangsta rap. My brother was a few years older than me and he listened to that shit all the time. I remember being an idiot 6th grader writing "rap" songs. Hilarious.
But this time period and music has always been fascinating to me. Mostly due to my enjoyment of it at such a young age.

Admittedly - im only on episode 2 but this is already way better than Straight Outta Compton and i thought that was a fantastic movie.

I loved seeing dr dre now, as a 50 year old man who accomplished so much throughout his career. It's refreshing in the way i find pearl jam frustrating as grown men somehow... I feel like dr dre did what he set out to do and came out the other side as both successful and true to his own personal ethics, where pearl jam came out the other side as successful and complacent about their standards... Or maybe it was just ed who did, but i got a satisfying feeling from watching this set of shows that I'd been looking for in modern day pj, and have been missing. Not sure how else to explain it, and I'm not looking to argue about pearl jam with anyone, just trying to express my thoughts on what makes this such a cool series for me.
