This guy is pretty much a king in the Hip Hop business. There is no way you didnt hear of Dre when frequently listening to Hip Hop. He made West Coast Gangsta Rap big and produced some of the best Hip Hop albums ever. Not only including his own albums, The Chronic and 2001 but also albums from other artists like Eminem. I personally still think his 2 albums are still between the best Hip Hop releases ever. F*cking Weed.
Well, I am not sure about Compton. Its not that much of my taste. It even includes auto tune. Honestly not mine. Its not bad but for me it is really disappointing. I guess the much wanted Detox is dead. Not sure if Compton is worth it to be called a good last album...
