Dre talking about Detox was wack. I can guarantee you Dre has like 5 albums worth of FIRE that he made for Detox that we're not gonna hear until he dies because he's such a perfectionist.

Man, the posthumous releases of Dr. Dre will probably rival 2 Pac and Johnny Cash in the cash grab department.

 

[infiniteloop]

All Dre's royalties for the record will go towards building a new centre of performing arts for Compton youth.

I don't think it's that he's a perfectionist. I think it's that he isn't anywhere near as sure as he used to be that what he thinks is cool is what's actually cool anymore.

Which makes sense. He's 50.

 

[PaulBizkit]

15 years making that Detox album and now, all of a sudden, Dre releases an album... whatever, dude..

I hate the absurd amount of guest artists this soundtrack is going to have.

Have you ever listened to Chronic and 2001? They're all full of guests. Dre is a producer, not a rapper.

 

[Sullichin]

Wish Hitman and Kurupt had features on this.

 

[soul creator]

it's weird how that other post about the Hiroshima anniversary just made me wonder what RBX is doing

 

[Black Republican]

Apple announced this morning that Apple employee Dr. Dre’s new Compton album will be exclusively streamed via Beats 1 from 6PM to 9PM Pacific Time this Thursday.

so yeah, this is happening:

Cold 187??? Awesome, I don't keep up but ATL was awesome. Livin' like Hustlers is one of my favorite rap albums.

Dr. Dre is 50.

 

[The Beard]

The reviews on iTunes for this yet to be released album are pretty hilarious.

"5 Stars mang. This is gonna be fire!"

"1 Star, Why are you guys rating an album you've never even heard 5 stars? This is sooo dumb!"

 

[number11]

Thanks for the link, been interesting so far.

 

[Robot Pants]

Here we go....

wtf that link just opens the itunes download page for me and I can't find the album when I search on Apple Music..

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

It opened it to Apple Radio in Itunes for me I believe. Started by playing the intro.

ahhhhhh i want it why isnt mine opening...I go to Apple Radio in iTunes and it just has Beats 1 playing

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

That sucks. See if doing a search for Compton shows something different.

 

[Bacon]

I'm a few tracks in and its pretty dope so far. Beats are (obviously) top notch.

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

One Shot One Kill I am digging for some reason.

 

[antipode]

First Kendrick verse is fire.

 

[Ashhong]

That sucks. See if doing a search for Compton shows something different.

Fucking nothing. This sucks.

Hmm now I got it to come up on iTunes but its not playing.

edit: works fine on iOS, nice.

 

[see5harp]

Man Ebro is such a tool. This dude is talking through a song he prefaces by saying "this song is rock---but it's fire." Shut the fuck up.

 

[neptunes]

Genocide sounds epic

 

[Bacon]

This shit is gonna bump so hard in the whip. The production is ridiculous

 

[Ashhong]

These features are killer so far.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Link also just takes me to the download page. Doesn't open up iTunes (which I have installed and updated) and when in iTunes I don't have an option to listen to any livestream of the album, period.

Is this an Apple Music subscriber-thing only?

Did you click the grey "I have iTunes" button on that download page? It should open iTunes, then might take some time before playing.

 

[Cudder]

Link didn't work for me until I updated my iTunes.

That's great but... Dude's a billionaire. He could finance 100 such centers and be fine.

I would imagine you have to be on the trial to listen to it without downloading.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Did you click the grey "I have iTunes" button on that download page?

Oh jesus christ.


1) I'm an idiot
2) But it does makes sense that I'd click the BIG FAT BLUE LISTEN IN iTUNES BUTTON

But yes, if you have iTunes already installed, when you click that link, click the little gray "I have iTunes" button and there you go.

 

[Fjordson]

How badly does Justus body Kendrick on their track?

 

[neptunes]

I like how you're forced to listen to from beginning to end

 

[Bacon]

The beat at the beginning of Satisfiction

 

[Social]

First "rapper" I heard during the streaming started slurring some words I could not understand for the life of me. Ugh...

 

[RP912]

Talk About It

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

I like how you're forced to listen to from beginning to end

I've been skipping around a lot, but probably only within the first 8 tracks.

 

[Ashhong]

Oh jesus christ.

I had the same mistake. If you read the grey message it says that for some reason it couldn't detect iTunes on your computer. Normally clicking the blue button would open iTunes and load the link.

/shrug

Not at all imo. Kendrick went hard

 

[CountBlack]

[Bobby Roberts]

Loose Cannons is going places.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I love you guys reactions. Keep em coming. In the mean time I'm listening to eary 2000 xzibits. GET YOUR WALK ON. GET YOUR HEAD TIGHT. PASS THE BUTTER.

 

[RP912]

Darkside/Gone

amazing...simply amazing...

 

[Ashhong]

Can't wait to hear some of these songs in the car. Goddamn

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

On an Android phone in a car on a 6 hour drive. Dammit Apple.

 

[kanuuna]

Ice Cube's track maybe the weakest thus far
liking the album however.
