Dr. Dre began his career selling mixed tapes out of his 2nd floor bedroom window in Compton, California. Customers would page him, a plastic bucket would be lowered for them to put $5 into, then the bucket would return with a mix tape inside. In this film you will meet the former Compton native who's creativity has inspired a generation and set a new standard in audio sound.
