“If I was you and I had a camera right now, where I would go is a little city called Bompton.” That was the advice Snoop Dogg gave Vice about where to film it’s new docu-series.
Bompton …. most widely known as Compton, California, is one of hip-hop’s most celebrated locales, the birthplace of acts like N.W.A. and, more recently, Kendrick Lamar. It’s also home to a complicated gang culture. Noisey’s focus on Bompton centers around Kendrick Lamar and the friends he grew up with on the West Side of Compton, many of whom feature on the cover of his album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly.‘
Noisey Bompton is the first episode in an eight part series. Each episode will focus on a different city, its major stars, and the stories and issues that influence its music scene.
The episode premieres March 1 at 10PM, and Tuesdays at the same time each week after that.
