Kendrick would be releasing dope albums without the Math. I already consider "Section 80" a personal fav of mine. So Kendrick doesnt really Dre to make dope music. This album will just help him appeal to the masses in terms of commercial success. Im not worried about an artist like Kendrick "selling out" with this release.

But i dont think Dre can strike Titanium 4x with another song about California, or r we gonna pretend that Cali hasnt been putting out the same Single that literally most of the rappers that come outta there put out. Sure, the song could've been a little better (and i kno where, no plug) but unless youre from Cali or the song is that damn good i cant see another song about "Women, Weed, & Weather" shaking the game up (and yes i agree they dropped the ball with that song in terms of promoting it if u want me to add some dynamic to this).As far as everybody on here talkin about "it needs to sound more WestCoast" i can assure that WestCoast artists have a negative stigma attached to them, especially when they release songs about Cali. Alot of ppl outside of the West (and probably on the West) r turned off by the the thought of it before they even hear the song. How do u think Jay Rock and Nipsey Hussle broke outta the boxxx. Its why "Straight Outta Compton", "Nuthin But A G Thang, "Gin N Juice", "Been There, Done That", "Still DRE", and "I Need A Doctor" were all huge records and songs like "Kush" and countless other songs about California and have that sound arent. People want good music at the end of the day, not just copy cat records from the same source. Its why "Swimming Pools" is so big and nothing from "Tha Marathon" blew up (some of it was alright tho)4 what it is it's a good record but it probably wouldnt have been the stand out record anyway. Kendrick didnt get a name by taking the typical Los Angeles rapper route, that shit only gets u so far in the game. I think Kendrick has a little more passion for the craft than that (and better records) and it shows in his music and people like it

Random side note, this track is supposedly a Detox leftover. Original supposedly features Game.https://twitter.com/thekidLEGEND/statuses/135017411681320960
Was pumped to see this released, until I heard it. I don't mind the verses, but they were wasted on a vanilla track. I wish Dre would start producing his own beats again. This beat is plain, the mix is terrible. I heard Dre had a co-mixing credit, but I would be surprised if he spent more than a couple minutes with this track. This is one of the weakest overall efforts I have seen from him in awhile. Even the Rick Ross track was clean and mixed properly. Anybody know who is singing on the hook? That shit is terrible. Sounded like a cheap Kokane impersonator. They should have left this one in the vault, Dre and Kendrick must have better than this.
Some of yall are mad because just blaze did the beat and doesn't sound too west coast? Still D.R.E was written by jay. Z who is from new york and co produced by scott storch who is from philly..hmmm Bitch Please by Snoop was co produced by Melman who is from Boston I think ... Even songs like been there done dat these are co produced by co producers like Sam Sneed who are from the east

That's alot more than probably most (or any) of you can saylol at this. By the way track is garbage remove "dre" and remove "compton" then it would be an okay track. The perception with this track threw many people off, including myself. I was waiting for "that" trademark west sound which by far is a disappointment unfortunately.I have. And there's nothing really wrong with Dre's verse other than the first part of his first verse where he sounds a tad offbeat but you'll get over that if u even care to hear another song called "Compton". I totally agree with u on that part. I have no more to say about that trademark sound, youre free to shit on and cape for whatever u like at your own will. That shit gets no play outside of Cali tho, and i aint just talkin about where im at
