For 16 years, the third Dr. Dre album was supposed to be "The Detox", but that once-mythical, canceled LP was replaced by "Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre", a supposedly final effort that was "inspired" by the N.W.A. biopic "Straight Outta Compton". When Dre says "inspired" he likely means the film gave him a reason to consider his history, and how he went from local gangsta to national threat, and on to billionaire businessman extraordinaire.
