    1) Dre not promoting Compton the soundtrack as much as it should be promoted. It came out of nowhere.
    2) There are no lead singles or no promotional music videos.
    3) He humbly mentioned it and called it a soundtrack. Why he didn't call it just "Compton"? Soundtrack makes it sound like not a real album, but an addon for a movie.
    4) He could've made a huge announcement and call it Detox? Why he didn't call it this way? The hype would rise by 482947 times.

    This makes me doubt that it's actually the classic album. What if it's not gonna meet expectations and Em's verse will be another "Thank you, Doc" type of song?

    "My life's like a soundtrack I wrote to the beat, treat rap like Cali weed, I smoke till I sleep".

    A soundtrack in this sense just means it will tell a story from start to finish. It's not a cop out.

    Yeah if this isn't fantastic I'll be highly upset lol. The way it's all been handled has been.... Interesting. If it pays off then great but if not then doc may have a legacy ruining scenario (atleast to the younger fans who know his name more so than his work)

    He's annoying to you so he should do what you tell him to do? Cmon now. That was uncalled for. He's 13 years old let him do him. This forum s--- can be a hobby
