Dr. Dre - All In a Day’s Work ft. Anderson Paak & Marsha Ambrosius
Dr. Dre - All In a Day’s Work ft. Anderson Paak & Marsha Ambrosius
After a gestation so lengthy it threatened to replace the Beach Boys’ SMiLE as most tragic victim of its auteur’s unassailable perfectionism,
it turns out Dr. Dre’s fabled third album Detox had to die in order for the good doctor to serve his hungry base with fresh prescription.
Using the occasion of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton as both muse and news peg,
Dre set about the seemingly insurmountable task of bridging three generations of California gangster rap on a record both of-the-moment and observant of the history that made all of it possible.
From the ashes of Detox rose Compton, a self-mythologizing swan song that unfurls the story of the man and his city in pristine, cinematic sound.
