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 20, 2015I wanted RAP, what I got was an usher album. I will go back to listening to Tupac, at least he has an excuse for not delivering **** after 16 years. Dre should have just made an album of unreleased tracks from the 90s

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 20, 2015the album was good but was not what i expected from dr dre it sounded more like an deductive version of Good Kid mad city . the beats in songs like Its All On Me where the type of beats we where expecting from the legend . a modern beat with a touch of old school , but he failed to deliver in most of the songs. so my rating is bases on dr dre standard

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.

UncutSep 28, 2015Compton is a solid reminder of both Dre's skills and the depth of his contacts book. [Nov 2015, p.75]

Sep 9, 2015There are innovative and fresh beats and voices, and the record rarely falters.
