Aug 16, 2025 at 10:57 AM Westside Gunn has again ripped into Dr. Dre‘s last album Compton. Initially released in 2015, the Griselda rapper made it clear he did not think much of the long-awaited project a decade ago. He wrote on social media: “N-ggas waited 15 years for Compton to drop and it’s trash and it took me 15 hours to make Hitler Wears Hermes 2 and it’s a masterpiece.” Following up on his post 10 years later, Gunn added: “10 years later and still not impressed by none of these n-ggas. Still making albums in a day and 12 still AOTY contender, Heels Have Eyes EP of the year. All with no machine, no fake beefs, no gimmicks, no clickbait, just art… this been hella of a ride and I did everything my way… God is the greatest.” Dre is washed, still waiting on the Chronic revival Dr. Dre is yet to respond to Westside Gunn’s comments. The Buffalo rapper is not the only Hip Hop star to throw some shade Dre’s way of late with DJ Quik making it clear he believes he is deserving of the same kind of recognitionthat his fellow LA native receives. On X, a fan wrote: “DJ Quik is actually who everyone thinks Dr. Dre is.” Quik then responded to the post, commenting: “Finally. Someone had the balls to say it.” It is not the first time Quik has put himself on the same pedestal as the NWA co-founder. Back in 2022, he said: “I know it’s early. But I deserve to be where Dre is. I don’t think it’s fair, but I understand why. I’ve never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me.”
Aug 16, 2025 at 12:21 PM big time! I’m sure he wouldn’t be saying that if he got a feature on Compton soundtrack or gets a Dre produced or feature lol
Aug 16, 2025 at 2:29 PM most of Gunn's discography clears Compton respectfully. Also I very much doubt he cares about Dre production or a feature, but no clue why this is being brought up 10 years later randomly As someone who's been listening to Griselda since 2017 I don't think a lot of people realize the influence and impact Gunn has actually had on Hip-Hop. He has been and continues to be a very important figure in the genre
