Dr Dre announces first album in 15 years

Dr. Dre comes up in the discussion, as Cube touches on the atmosphere in the studio when N.W.A. were recording music, and how they were able to recreate those scenes for the film (15:45). “I’m really proud of this”.

News of a collab between Dre and Premier was confirmed thanks to an Instagram post from DJ Rhettmatic. Why the hell did I check that number? “I respect rappers more when they write their own lyrics”.

Listen to the premiere of #COMPTON uncensored and exclusively on Apple Music, from 6PM – 9PM PT Thursday August 6th.

“I kept it under wraps, and now the album is finished”. That’s just three days before the film it’s supporting hits theaters nationwide.

No rap album is complete without serious collaborations.

Despite the album’s success, Dre found himself in the midst of several lawsuits which cost the producer over 1.5 million.

The 16-track album will feature guest appearances by Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and The Game. Hell, I’m already sold. Compton is slated to be released this Friday (August 7). Diss records came out, and we got physical behind our diss records. Damn it, I have Spotify. I’ll leave it to you N.W.A. historians to tell me what’s real and what’s made up.

It’s been a lingering question. Neither a gruff gangster rapper nor one with the West Coast laid back mood, Mez is a bit more in-the-pocket. “I didn’t like it. It wasn’t good”, he said.

That works for me.

The name Andre Young is one that used to ring out on street corners, but now it is spoken through (or at least behind the scenes)some of the greatest hip-hop tracks in musical history as the legendary Dr Dre. At his level, you get to pick and choose what you want to do and when.

Compton: The Soundtrack will coincide with the release of the NWA movie Straight Outta Compton. And we all came together to build this thing, and it’s going to be my grand finale.
