5/5/2023 0 Comments Dr dre compton full album 2015![]() ![]() This is obviously a fairly bold claim, not least because it’s a little hard to imagine the man behind Express Yourself coming up with some of the more middle-aged opinions expressed on Compton. The album keeps reiterating that the 50-year-old billionaire who made it is no different from the 23-year-old who made NWA’s debut album: “nigga with an attitude, still getting active”, “that’s just the way it is and how it always was”, “fuck money, that shit could never change me.” The result is Compton, an album that seems preoccupied with Dr Dre’s past: there is much reminiscence about the early days and initial success of NWA and it concludes with a track on which his former bandmate Eazy-E smiles proudly down from heaven at him, having presumably reconsidered the stance he took in the last years of his life, which he largely spent suggesting that Dr Dre was everything from a fake gangster who’d get shot if he ever went back to Compton to a closet homosexual. By his reckoning, he was so inspired by the sight of his younger self, as played by actor Corey Hawkins, at a screening of the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton, that he resolved to junk a decade’s worth of work on the endlessly delayed Detox, and start afresh. T he circumstances surrounding the release of Dr Dre’s third album are intriguing.
