Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Dr. Dre's just released his new album, the soundtrack to Straight Outta Compton. "The soundtrack is insane," the movie's director, F. Gary Grey, told MTV. "You can hear some of his influences, with jazz and soul and a little bit of funk."
The soundtrack marks Dre's first album release in fifteen years, both good and bad news for fans still waiting for Dre's Detox to drop. (Will Detox be shelved for good?—who knows).
Straight Outta Compton hits U.S. theatres August 14. We suspect this movie is going to crush box office records. Here's what Dr. Dre has said about himself and his legacy. Quotation above via vibe.com.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
