Dr. Dre Ice Cube.  The mix made in Heaven, or as the duos new move reminds us: Straight Outta Compton.  How can so much talent have come out of the same place at the same time? Dr. Dre Ice Cube are arguably two of the most brilliant hip-hop entrepreneurs in the history of hip-hop.

Dr. Dre is finally giving fans what they have wanted for so long.  Do you think that he has made us wait too long? Moreover, now that Dr. Dre is a billionaire, do you think he will be able to create the music that once came so natural?

Dr. Dre recently announced that he is donating the album's proceeds to fund an arts center in Compton.  This is a great deed and shows that Dr. Dre truly cares about Compton.

Gone Too Long
It has been over 15 years since the last time Dr. Dre dropped a studio album: "2001".  President Clinton was acquitted in 1999, the year Dr. Dre released his last album.  Quality over quantity must be Dre's motto considering the time that he has allowed to pass.

Is Dr. Dre's business side forcing him to do this considering the buzz surrounding "Strait Outta Compton." If so, will we receive the authentic Dr. Dre or will the album sound forced and thirsty?

Dr. Dre is releasing the album as a companion to the film and he will rap about his days with the rap group N.W.A...Can't we simply play an old N.W.A. album if we wanted to hear about Dre's past endeavors?

Still Dre...
Despite every and any question surrounding Dr. Dre's new album, one thing is certain: something is better than nothing.  With two classics, The Chronic and 2001, all we have been doing for the past decade+ is anticipating Dre's next release.  We cannot complain when he is finally delivering what we have desired.

It will be interesting to see what Beats by Dre creates.  He was not nearly as rich when his first two albums were released therefore he may not be willing to work as hard in the studio.  As long as Dr. Dre's new album is nothing like Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come" I think fans will be satisfied.

Hopefully this article brought insight to those that simply sought an answer to How much is Ice Cube worth? Dr. Dre Ice Cube's duo has proved unstoppable.  Ice Cube's net worth, the creation of N.W.A. and Straight Outta Compton prove that the two are rare gifts to hip-hop that we cannot take for granted.
