May 23, 20172015 was a really good year for hip hop in my opinion, and this album did nothing but help it earn that sentiment from me. There are no bad songs on this in my opinion.
Best songs: Deep Water / Issues / Loose Cannons -

Aug 9, 2015COMPTON by DR. DRE is perfect. One of the best rap albums I have ever heard, and one of the best albums I have ever heard. I didn't know music could be this good, but Dr Dre delivers.

Aug 10, 2015Which other legend can find a way to balance old school hip-hop and modern day hip-hop!
This is simply just what the Doctor Ordered! I mean Kendrick, Eminem, King Mez, Ice Cube, Snopp all just killed this. -

Aug 9, 2015This album bangs so hard! Dear people stuck in the past: get out of its **** you might actually enjoy the music ;)
Wouldn't have minded seeing Crooked I, Horseshoe G.A.N.G on there though tbh. -
Aug 7, 2015Fantastic album. Period.
Beats are on point as are the messages and stories woven throughout this Compton based epic. By adding Anderson Paak to the tracks, Dr. Dre introduces an upcoming artist to the world and builds upon his history of introducing the music industry to new talents (Snoop on The Chronic and Hittman/Eminem on 2001). -

Aug 11, 2015This is a solid album. You can play it without skipping any tracks. Any album you can play without skipping is a classic. This is a classic. I'm not saying that every song is my favorite but the album goes together very well. No skipping = CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!

Aug 8, 2015This is Dre delivering the kind of album people have been waiting for. The vibe is totally different from 2001 and Chronic but equally as powerful. Dre brings in a variety of features that fit in seamlessly with the amazing production by the man himself. Excellent from start to finish.
-
Aug 18, 2015It's okay at best. Gets corny at times especially with the skits. But, Kendrick is a real bright spot throughout the album and leaves his mark on Compton.

Aug 10, 2015For those not old enough or familiar with Dre's early work, this may be a stretch for them. But for those who know and love his work, it's another classic CD. A+ work Dre.

Aug 31, 2015You've gotta know that this album is going to be quality from the start. Dre's beats are incredible, and synchronized well for the times. If Chronic was all Snoop, if 2001 was all Eminem -- Compton is definitely all Kendrick. His features scattered throughout vibe with Dre the best, but every track is meticulously produced.

Feb 3, 2017I like this album a lot, but one of the songs is kind of cheesy, darkside/gone. I hate that song. All of the other songs i like, like deep water, talk about it, and talking to my diary.

Dec 24, 2015An album which has the classic and distinctive sound of Dr Dre. The album has many guests which feature great verses. Compton overall is a strong album with a few great tracks and a lot of pretty good to alright tracks.

Aug 27, 2015Fantastic Album! A somewhat unanticipated departure from the long awaited Detox album, "Compton: A Soundtrack" is a pleasing amalgamation of Old-School hip hop sounds and ambitious new school beats all with the production quality you would expect from such a prolific figure in the music industry. Excellent!
