Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Dr. Dre still bangin' out good music
14 years is a long time for a musician to go without putting out an album, but Dr. Dre has been anything but quiet during this time. From producing rap albums, working with his headphone line, and more recently, helping with production on the movie, "Straight Outta Compton" and making this album, "Compton" A Sountrack, he has kept his hands full. Now, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this album, since it has been awhile since we have heard any new Dre music. I have to say, it is a departure from the gangsta rap music he has been known for putting out, but these tunes are pretty dang good. At first I thought the album was just alright, but the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone who is into rap music. Dr. Dre gets an A+ in my book

Not his best, but it's still Dre
I don't think anything can live up to Chronic and Chronic 2001. I was hoping Detox would, but after it got pushed back multiple times and then cancelled, I lost hope. I'm glad he came out with something, but it almost seems as though he just gave up by the end and instead of making another timeless album with Detox, he made an average album at best with Compton. There are good songs with some good features, but in my opinion too many features. It almost seems like he raps less than his features. I'll still bump it, but with an empty feeling.

Dr. Dre is back
Dre is back, and he brought his friends. As has been said about him before, he may not be a super-duper rapper, but he is a super-duper producer. While his rapping may be outshone (especially by his proteges Kendrick Lamar and Eminem), the album has that great Dre sound, very clean with uncommon samples. It's also nice to hear some of Dre's long term collaborators like Xzibit, Snoop Dogg, and Ice Cube. The album tells a great story, definitely one of 2015s must listen albums.
