Dr. Dre has reportedly agreed to donate $10 million dollars to the new Compton High School in order to help build a performing arts complex.
The LA Times says the Compton Unified School District confirmed the Hip Hop legend’s massive contribution to the school’s arts program on Thursday (June 15).
In a statement to the Times, the Hip Hop mogul said: “My goal is to provide kids with the kind of tools and learning they deserve. The performing arts center will be a place for young people to be creative in a way that will help further their education and positively define their future.”
Compton is famously a part of Dre’s history. Dre first broke into Hip Hop as part of N.W.A, whose song “Straight Outta Compton” is still regarded as one of Hip Hop’s most iconic and best known tracks today.
Dre was praised for his efforts in helping the school. Satra Zurita, President of Compton Unified’s governing board of trustees said, “The support that Dre has shown to Compton over the years is unwavering and we are so excited that we will now be home to one of the greatest performing arts centers in the country.”
Dre will also be involved in raising further funds in order to complete the center. Work is expected to begin on the complex in 2020.
Okay let som b*tch ass hater pop up and say trash..
Some people talk the talk, Dre really walk the walk
Dre ain’t a gangsta BUT he perpetuated the lifestyle that many youths tried to emulate…and that Straight Outta Compton movie was a whitewash. So he’s a saint now? How nice.
Thats awesome now just if all the other succesful black business men did the same it would pull most the hoods out of poverty kind of like the white people have done for areas they densley populate what did we learn here today kids? Dont rely on the government rely on businessmen and benefactors who will directly see to the betterment of areas not pathetic government officials just looking for bonuses and money to help get them re elected
atleast he never forgot where he came from!
He is guilty over all the youth he lured into the gangster life, many have lost their lives, many are uneducated, many are living in poverty, many are in jail… How much he make off the chronic? How much he make off those headphones? How much he make off Eminem and 50 Cent?
hopefully, Dre’s money goes into the school, not the school board’s pockets, the Compton school district is notorious for being corrupt to the core, watch Tupac Assassination: the battle for Compton.
