"entirely produced by Dr. Dre"

 

[DietRob]

expectations are tempered for me but I honestly can't wait to give it a listen. also really hyped about the movie as well.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

"entirely produced by Dr. Dre"

When was the last time that happened?

Straight Outta Compton?

 

[Joe]

All it needs is 1 hit song and the movie will make a killing.

 

[old manatee]

I'll check it out, but time hasn't been kind to Dre's old albums.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

He produced 19/20 on Relapse believe it or not. Everyone hated that album at the time though. Going back and listening to it now though it isn't terrible.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

here for cube, hoping 2015 eminem doesn't ruin it



ghost-writing and ghost-performed by one of his army of aftermath castaways

why even bother hoping?

 

[TraBuch]

Relapse is his best post-TES album. Don't even notice the accent anymore.

 

[Toparaman]

Gonna be Detox under a new name

That would be Relapse.

edit: as the people above me pointed out.

I'll check it out, but time hasn't been kind to Dre's old albums.

Are you specifically talking about his "solo" albums? Because I think NWA's second album is revelatory in its production work, and arguably the best "Dr. Dre album".

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Shit, really?

My smartass comment is retracted, then.

 

[AstroNut325]

I can't wait. But I will keep my expectations in check.

i actually think eminems flow, lyrics, and deliver were great on that album. its just he kept mentioning things like rape, and things up peoples butts that it honestly made it uncomfterble to listen to with someone else in the room lol. de ja vu was honestly one of the best songs he has ever written

The lyrical content is repetitive and not particularly interesting, but yeah, the flows and delivery are great. And the production is awesome.

 

[number11]

With the amount of people hyping up The Pharmacy tonight on Twitter.. It looks like this is actually happening.

Can't believe it's been 16 years since the last Dre album.

 

[Zombine]

Can't wait to hear about how nobody believed in him and that he has a Billion now. And I also
Can't wait for the em verses where he wipes his tears for him.

 

[Rizific]

so its going to be a sound track for the NWA movie. id imagine the movie would consist of old NWA tracks...so in other words, a NWA greatest hits.

 

[TheMAK]

There ain't no good Dre beats no more since Mel Man and Scott Storch stopped ghost producing his shit..

 

[TheKaeptain]

It's going to drop next Friday. A week before the movie comes out.

 

[MikeHaggar]

It's going to drop next Friday. A week before the movie comes out.

why do you say that?

 

[strafer]

Something is indeed happening

https://twitter.com/drdre

You’ve heard rumors. Hear the truth tomorrow. #ThePharmacy
Saturday - 3PM PT/6PM ET

 

[Glowingmonx]

It's going to drop next Friday. A week before the movie comes out.

Looks like you were right. August 7 it is.

 

[sdornan]

Also said he never released Detox because he didn't think it was good enough. So I guess Detox is officially dead.

 

[number11]

Track list is up on itunes..

He has to play at least one track from the album today

 

[GamerJM]

Who you think taught you to smoke trees?
Who you think brought you the oldies?
Eazy-Es, Ice Cubes, DOCs, the Snoop Double D O Gs
And the group that said "mother fuck the police!"

 

[BocoDragon]

The Chronic 2001 felt like it was eons after The Chronic... But that was only 6 years.

And now it's been 16 years since The Chronic 2001...

 

[Schattenjäger]

Any hope I had for a new good Dre album was lost when I heard that somebody call me a doctor song

 

[Courage]

I wonder who's ghostproducing.

 

[braves01]

I wonder who's ghostproducing.

Well, we know Kendrick is ghostwriting so it's probably some producer he's worked with at some point.

 

[sdornan]

I do wish it felt more like a legitimate follow up than a tossed off soundtrack album.

 

[Nobility]

Might want to add the track listing in the OP.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/compton-soundtrack-by-dr./id1025137696

I'm so hyped, it's not even hyperbole.

 

[jesu]

I'm hoping to go see the film at the pictures, not sure how big a release it will be here though.
The music will sound amazing on a cinema sound system.

Not too excited by the album, we'll see.

 

[Das Ace]

. Landmark moment even if it's garbage.

 

[Ryan_MSF]

Final Fantasy 7 remake
Shenmue 3

Will do.

Well there it is.

 

[TheMAK]

MC REN better be on that shit! Don't give some wack ass Kendrick BS

Edit: Fuck! No MC REN! Fuck that wack sauce!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I like the tracklist. Hyped for this.

 

[wenis]

well here's the tracklist

beaten!

 

[Schattenjäger]

Nice to see some Xzibit

 

[Bubbavelli]

Final Fantasy 7 remake

New Dre album

2015 delivering again and again.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse

 

[CountBlack]

we finally gon eat

 

[Einhander]

He shouldn't bother releasing a new album anymore. Dre's whole appeal was that he was a legendary member of NWA. The gangsta rap era is long gone. I don't think his style and rap persona have a longevity. He hasn't constructively evolved his rapping and production.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

well here's the tracklist

beaten!

Thanks god, only one song with Em.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Lmao, no MC Ren? Come on.

 

[number11]

Dre is obviously a perfectionist.. If he thinks this project is good enough to release, I have high hopes for this.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Nice to see some Xzibit

Xzibit and Cold 187um, even.

Above the Law representation!

 

[Courage]

Dre is obviously a perfectionist.. If he thinks this project is good enough to release, I have high hopes for this.

or maybe he stopped giving a fuck and thinks it'd be a missed opportunity to not release something that coincides with the film

 

[Einhander]

Yep. I'm old. I only know of Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Ice Cube, and Kendrick Lamar from that list.

Will One Shot One Kill be about Call of Duty?

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Was hoping for a NWA track ._.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Only one Em song. More willing to give this a shot now.

I don't know who some of these people even are though lol.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Gonna be trash.
