\n\tKendrick Lamar<\/a> and Dr. Dre<\/a> attended a groundbreaking ceremony today for the new Centennial High School campus in Compton, California. The artists, who returned to their alma mater, were joined by will.i.am.<\/p>\n \n\tDuring the event, Micah Ali, board president of Compton Unified School District, invited Dre to give a speech. The music mogul reflected on the significance of the moment when addressing the crowd. \u201cToday is really nostalgic for me,\u201d said Dre. \u201cSometimes you hear that term \u2018full circle.\u2019 This is really a full-circle moment for me because I did actually attend this high school.\u201d The artist digressed, \u201cWell, sometimes I attended. I was enrolled, I was here, sometimes. I\u2019m making a commitment, and that commitment is to let go of the notion of giving back. Instead, I\u2019m embracing the power of investing forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
