The forthcoming N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton is slated to provide fans of early 1990s Gangsta Rap an opportunity to relive the Los Angeles group’s rise in the Hip Hop game. Now, there may be even more reason to watch the film.
Director F. Gary Gray recently sat down with MTV and talked with them about the movie’s music. Among the gems he dropped was an announcement that both Kendrick Lamar and long-time Dr. Dre collaborator Eminem would appear on Straight Outta Compton‘s soundtrack. He also described what else the movie’s music was like.
“The music is so good. [Dr. Dre] went deep and you can hear some of his influences with jazz and soul and a little bit of funk,” he said when describing the soundtrack. “It’s really Dre and how he’s evolved and how he’s matured not only as a person but as an artist and it’s great.”
Straight Outta Compton is slated to hit theaters on August 14.

Because Dre signed him. Seems right to me.
Are you a Chiraq savage? Because you have the intellect of one. That’s not a good thing, in case you can’t comprehend words that are longer than four letters. You disappoint me Christopher, you’re so stupid.
If em is on there Bone better be in there.
Bone should definitely be on there as well as the movie, they played a huge part in re establishing ruthless
yea because the movie is about ruthless not nwa
Em has been wack he so protected by Jimmy ivonine, and money
Never thought being white in hip-hop would give you a huge advantage damn
I have a deep track on the album.
Its about fucking a goat yall

I love “I’m getting tired of my wicket way. I’m going up and I’m taking names.” That’s my shit even 2day. I was hoping you’d make a video. The lyrics are cutthroat.The beat made it a beast track. Thanks your CD was everything last year.
Man whatever. He probably produced 0 songs and wrote 0 lyrics. Yet dude says “it’s really Dre”.
hopefully Dre steers kendrick and EM in the right direction. some of their shits been sonically off lately
So Scott Storch has been gettin busy with the beats on the soundtrack?
Looking forward to that joint
i hope we get that song Pyrex (It’s Alive) by kdot and better yet the three on the same song with production by DRE
this may be the only thing we get from Dre musically
