There is not one bad review of Dr Dre's 'Compton' on the whole of Twitter.
To say a brand new Dr Dre album was long-awaited would be an understatement. It's been 16 years since the legendary rapper dropped a full album and many of those were filled with rap fans hoping and praying that one day they would wake up and Dre's highly-anticipated 'Detox' album would have finally arrived.
Although 'Detox' wasn't to be, today Dr Dre answered prayers by releasing 'Compton' - a 16-track soundtrack to accompany his N.W.A biopic 'Straight Outta Compton.'
Filled with a ton of epic features - Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar - to name a few, Twitter has gone into meltdown as everyones first-listen reviews begin to pour in.
Here's what people are saying about 'Compton A Soundtrack By Dr Dre,' so far:
First impressions were pretty good.

And then people listened a bit harder and really experienced the mixing...
Dr. Dre's mixing on #Compton got me hearing clarity I didn't know my monitors were capable of

You hear that? That's called quality recording, mixing and mastering. That is called letting instruments have space. #Compton

Dr. Dre's #Compton makes me wonder what the hell I've been listening to since 1999.

Or did it?
I thought Dr Dre's new record would bring me back to the '90s. Instead #Compton is breaking new ground. Amazing.
