Dr. Dre released his Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre project yesterday (August 6), the first album the Compton, California rapper-producer has released since 1999’s 2001.
Several of Dr. Dre’s collaborators reacted to the collection’s release.
“THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER DR.DRE,” Kendrick Lamar wrote on Twitter yesterday (August 6). The TDE rapper appears on Compton cuts “Genocide,” “Darkside/Gone” and “Deep Water.”
Eminem, who appears on Compton selection “Medicine Man,” also tweeted about the album.
“Big day for music today,” the Detroit rapper wrote today (August 7). “@DrDre did it again with #Compton! More than honored to play my part: http://smarturl.it/Compton.”
The tweets from Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and are as follows, as are tweets from Compton contributors King Mez, Anderson .Paak and Justus:
For additional Dr. Dre coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
According to hitsdailydouble, looks like your boy dre can’t even debut at no.1. Dope country artist, luke bryan, will steal it.
You fucking hater. Dre released on a Friday. Conventional releases are Tuesday. This album is classic no matter where he charts. Go listen to Luke fucking Bryan. I’m gonna jam this shit all summer.
Lol u a weak ass nigga.
teefy gota decade of trolling on the resume. salute the lame
Lies from Dan. Dre will be number one and Luke Bryan isn’t dope at all, he sounds like he has a dick in his mouth.
Should of had the unit on there too
Why? Them niggas is broke and irrelevant. Rozay work wit Dre more than them washed up niggas.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was actually surprised not to see 50 on there, not even on a fucking hook. He gave Game his own fucking track hahahahahaha
Ricky rozay please just shut your fucking mouth already. The only broke people here are you bitch. Always talking about rappers being broke when you on hiphopdx all the damn time. Broke hoe.
The Game is from Compton so it’s a natural fit. It’s a west coast album. The whole album is filled with west coast artists. Eminem is the only exception cause he is such an important part of Dre’s career post-Chronic. 50 cent has that relationship with Em, not Dre. Woulda been a forced awkward fitting collabo if you ask me….
The only thing that coulda worked was if Dre got 50 and Game to squash the beef and do a record together on there. But that again woulda been a distraction from what Dre was doing.
Jon Connor is from Michigan too, bitch!
so 50 broke huh thats crazy that forbes mistakenly put him in the top 5 earners in hphop last year stupid me =f-or reading such garbage from whats that called again ?? oh sum small online mag called forbes ha theyll be out oof business in a year right………dumb ass niggas
Justus, Marsha Ambrosius, BJ the Chicago Kid and Jill Scott aren’t from the West, either.
One of Eminem’s best verses. It had me googling Lou Rawls. The whole album is fire. Thanks to Dre for this.
I think this is a record that can make everyone happy. Like the first record in a long time that all the different avenues of rap fans can not fucking argue about.
Eminem on medicine man. His cadence is incredible. The man is the best MC. No question
Word within the industry is that Dr. Dre originally wanted to tap Drake for Anderson Paak’s and Justus’ parts on the album, but when Kendrick got word of this he was infurtiated, being the mental and physical midget he is. So Dre backed off the Drake features, and instead put Kendrick’s boy Paak all over the album. Kendrick feared that Drake would outshine him on the album.
Stop.
This is all lies from the Cash Money-dickriding troll Dan. Plus, Drake outshining Kendrick? HAHAHA!! Kendrick murders every song he features on. Aubrey would be washed out.
-_-
Well, I am not disappointed, definitely not what I expected though, that is my fault. I thought it would be a nice westcoast gangster rap feel, silly me. We all know Dre isnt a rapper so i get the features but Paak character is all over this shit, Marsha Ambrosius as well?? Too many vocals for my liking, but definitely love Talking to My Diary, Deep Water, DarksideGone, All in a Days Work
The news of Drake not being on it as Kendrick would get mad is stupid, Kendrick doesnt appear to be that bitch boy to feel threatened by Drake. The bars against him stating Drake never really started from the bottom is an unnecessary jab
If people think this is a classic then hip hop is truly dead. I’m gonna go listen to the chronic and remember the good old days when hip hop was flawless. R.i.p. Fuck the south and the wack influence it has had on hip hop.
Nigga fuck you mean, fuck the South?! It don’t matter what part of the country you from, good songs have came from EVERY part of the U.S. Even if you dont fuck with it, it aint up to niggas like you who dont appreciate that shit, there’s ppl who do. Get yo ass outta here!
album is average – he needs jay-z penning his raps ,, he doesn’t sound right with kendrick writing for him,
You truly don’t understand what West Coast music is if you think Jay Z should write Dre’s raps.
@oz is a dick
oz is probably referring to Still DRE which was penned by Jay Z… So really he does understand
you hear mchg?
eminem and kendrick had the best feautres on the album by far.
This is a big win for Dre. With 2001 he had an album that was the next level production wise due to new technologies available..he tried to improve on that with Detox, failed every time. He now combined the live instruments of the chronic and the modern technology of 2001 and created another masterpiece, another defining west coast album. Great use of different talents and the tie in with the movie makes it the perfect timing and relevancy. Dre had a great carreer already but with Detox haunting him for years he needed this to end his musical carreer on a high note.
Man this shit a great album dre is great and he dont try too just put big time nigga on there he got other nigga on there too that a new and there too and that wat mak it more real
I’m sorry, but this album is borderline terrible. Amazing beats, but hearing Kendrick rap with Dre’s voice is weird as shit and sounds stupid. It’s so blatantly obvious Kendrick wrote every Dre verse on the album. I’m sorry but that’s not talent. The beats on this album are by far some of Dre’s best and that’s where he shines, but don’t give me a bunch of shit that doesn’t even sound like you. At least have the stuff that’s written be written in a different delivery. At least make it seem like it’s yours and not his. . . the vocals on this album. . good lord, they’re shit. Eminem’s verse. . well. . while it’s intricate, it’s as shitty to music as that bullshit RapGod song. . . music has flow. . it doesn’t just rhyme. . Tupac was amazing, not because he could rhyme a bunch of shit together, no, that shit doesn’t sound good in a stereo, it’s not music. Tupac will always be the King because of his flow. In rap, flow is what truly matters and makes a song, not rhyming. .
STFU BITCH
Then fuck off and listen to a dead cunt. Welcome to 2015.
Dre never has written his own rhymes, you’re not pointing out anything new. And, does it matter? Dr. Dre the rapper is a persona, not an MC, he uses it to add depth to his albums. Educate yourself before you speak,
Tupac is the king. He always murdered the song when the beat was good. Most rappers these days cant do it.. They jus say some random wack shit that is off tempo.. Glad someone noticed
Blah blah blah blah blah. Love it or move on
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…………
Some people just want to make stupid comments that’s all……..
weak album… Whats the point of having hot beats when the rhymes and flow is garbage….
Its almost like this is the last STFU from Dre to the fans…
Probably a good thing that hes retiring… At least we got 2001 outta him and all those amazing collabs with Snoop and Em over the years
You’re tripping. This album is dope. The rhymes and flow are fire.
Just found out this “Justus” guy on Dre’s album is white. Is Dre trying to make a new Eminem?
Probably. And he’s garbage too…
who cares?
Should of had the unit on there with busta and obie too! Album is good but nothing special 3/5
Who else noticed that Kendrick tries to sound like Paak lately?
Album is average… its good but could be better. The vocals sound hella weird, especially snoops vocal.
When non apple guys buy his album? Wanna hear it asap!
The last track has some alternative vocals which you can only hear through Beats by Dre headphones, it uses a special frequentie or something. crazy how they did it!
crazy that you get paid to do commercials!
The album is overproduced and whats up with all the strange voices? Also its to much singing. I even call it a rapalbum its pophop.
You were listening to the wrong album.
Yes. Because Pop music is the only genre where there’s any singing.
too much singing indeed but the beats and some of the features are fire.
U guy r dissin the dr too damn hard he a fuccin god wit this shit tha best beat maker ever yea it différent but u can feel tha hard work in this album unlike drake of meek or any of them otha fucc faces rapper niggaz people be jamming now a day
Dre has used plenty of ghost producers. Daz produced a lot of songs at Death row that Dre got credit for.
this album is a certified banger. fuck you haters and young fucks dissin Dre. He just shitted on all of your favorite albums in one brilliant stroke. This shit goes hard as fuck. classic
Thanx for sayin that shit cuzz nigga must hav forgot abt dre
The beats are ok but they don’t sound like ‘Dre’ beats. And the vocals sound strained at times. Sounds more like an experimental album. Was expecting a West Coast classic, reminiscent of The Chronic and 2001. This has not filled the void left by Detox.
Very good album. Animals and Talking To My Diary are my favorite. All real hip hop heads all over the world rejoice! What a great album. Instant support.
Straight trash. Everyone putting this crap next to the Chronic or 2001 is either a hypocrite or dumb ass. PERIOD.
Dre had to drop something in order not to lose his contract with Apple.
I don’t think you understand the word hypocrite. And if Dre ‘had to drop something’ he could have lazily released the 1000 Detox recordings from over the years.
And how is it trash? By far the best album i’ve heard in a long time. Who’s the dumb ass..talking about having to drop an album for Apple?
Your an idiot!!!!!
You’re straight retarded.
til I saw the bank draft for $9333 , I did not believe that…my… mom in-law was like they say actually bringing in money in their spare time on their apple labtop. . there friend brother had bean doing this for under twentey months and by now took care of the morgage on their mini mansion and bought opel . navigate to this web-site………………………. 7.ly/mr9k ……………………………………………………………..

This is what hip hop has been lacking!
Dre has done it again, big beats, new sounds, and he’s flipped everything on its head.
Everyone keeps referring back to his past albums, peeps, if he did similar shit to that today, we’d say he hasn’t changed or kept up with the times, and now he’s released this album ya’ll don’t like it, oh well.
This albums a game changer, all those artists with tinnie back beats, and a whole lotta nothin sounds need to step it up…. Btw I love the soul and funk feel in this album!!
Excellent album!!!!!! Only 1 thing missing………….nate dogg (rip)
I have a theory that Compton is actually Detox. I think Dre felt like Detox had unrealistic expectations and, if he ever released it, he thought it wouldn’t live up to those expectations and tarnish his legacy. So, the NWA movie is filming, he’s sitting on all this unreleased material, he changes the title of the album, he tells everybody that he threw it together after being inspired on the NWA set. Suddenly, after a decade of delays, Dre’s perfectionist woes stop plaguing him, everybody’s impressed by how fast he put it together, it magically comes out of nowhere, there’s no crazy expectations, Dre gets all these pats on the back and sells millions, no big deal.
None of the many Detox leaks over the years sound anything like this. Compton sounds fresh.
album is pure shit
Was good but didn’t get the feeling I got being 14 when the chronic came out. Also 2001 was classic. Still got it but not his greatest feat. That’s ok though there will be more to come I’m sure plus a lot of new cars on the record overall good 1.
Cats not cars lol
