Dre: Everyone reps the place
where they're from.

Where you're from
tells people a lot about you.

Think about it.

Bagpipes aren't big in Japan.

But when you're from Minnesota,

you love Prince.

♪ Ooh!

And where I'm from

the hardest rep of all.

The city of Compton.

Yeah, it can be a tough place,

but it's also an incubator

for some
of the most influential

music, sports, and art

in the entire world.

Compton is where I'm from.

And although it wasn't easy,

I wouldn't have it
any other way.

Because pressure

"Compton's Own"?

You're more
of a Valley boy now.

Whoa. Oh. Oh.

Hey, it's okay.

It's Christmas, Dre.

Just having a nice time.

[ Whispers ]
Don't do that.

Throw his presents
in the fire, Bow.

Uh-huh.

Do it now.

I had a Jheri Curl!

Boy, Dr. Dre's high school
girlfriend's little sister

was one of my babysitters!

I'm everythingCompton!

Don't make me
have to make you witness

the strength
of street knowledge.

Junior, you know my baby

You know it, Mama.Mm-hmm.

And 3-1-0's gonna be
my first tattoo.

Whenever I get over
my fear of needles.

Look, we all knowDre is from Compton.

Just like
I'm from Detroit. Mm.

I mean, these are the places
that make us who we are.

Thank you, Pops.

It's the one thingI can't take away from you,

unlike my respect for you
as a father.

What?!If you came for methe way Junior just did,

[Scoffs] I'd put you to sleeptill New Year's.

Junior:
Come on, Dad.

While you're "from" there,

you've lived in the Money
Earnin' Oaks of Sherman

longer than you ever did
in Compton.

Boy, you don't know how long
I've lived in places.

Dad, this is
your lifestyle now.

You are a typical
suburban Black man,

in-ground pool and dad bod
to boot.

You're like, uh...
Uncle Phil,

except you stayed
with the first Aunt Viv.

Yeah. You're as Sherman Oaks
as we are.

Remember that Friday
we didn'tgo

to the Cheesecake Machine
at the Galleria,

and they called us to make sure
we were all right?

You straight Valley,
son.

Unh-unh.

Being from Compton is --

is one of the things that
people know about me first.

That's 'cause you never give us
a chance to forget.

Then in Compton...

Here in Compton...

From Compton...

Outside of Compton.

They see me
as just a kid from Compton.

Guess who went to Compton
and got some barbecue?!

You bring up
being from Compton

more than I bring up
being a doctor.

No, he doesn't.

All right.

Me and my brothers and sisters
from the 90221

have a grit and determination
that you cannot buy.

That's right.

So, while you can take the man
out of Compton,

you can never take Compton
out of the man.

Dad, I did not say
it was a bad thing.

It is what you
worked so hard for.

You got out.

Hey...

proud of you.

I tell her I donated
to her church,

I do the same thing every year.
[ Chuckles ] I know.

Oh, I gotta go.

I'll talk to you later.

Hey, you two.

I needyour Christmas lists.

We don't have to do
the whole dance this year.

Cash is fine.
Huh?

Yeah.
You can just Venmo me.

Maybe add some
Christmas emojis,

make it all festive
or whatever.

But hey, we know you have
a lot of kids to buy for,

so if it's under four figures,
that's okay.

You can just make it up to us
on our birthday.

When did my kidsget so transactional

about the holidays?

Our dad owns
Gucci shower shoes.

Yeah.

You figure that out.

Okay.

Since you two don't want
Christmas gifts,

I have a better idea.

I want youto think of something

that you can do
for someone in need

this holiday season.

Tell Junior nobody wants
to see his feet on Instagram.

Oh, my gosh.
Perfect.

No. No.
Right?

Strangers.

Show kindness
with your time and your effort.

You know what?

That sounds like
a great New Year's resolution.

I'll write that down.
Thank you.Yes. Perfect.

Today.

I want you
to do that today.

[ Scoffs ]
Okay.

Mm-hmm.

I told you we should have
just asked for a Jet Ski.

[ Groans ]

The next day,
I still couldn't get over

Junior shading me
about Compton,

and neither could
the guys at work.

Well, Dre, we have
your ingrate son

down in the basement

alphabetizing
our HR complaints.

He will be down there
for months.

Yeah, that is mostly me.
You're welcome.

Dre: You know,
how can they doubt

that I'm still
from Compton?

I remind my family
this constantly

so they can appreciate
how hard I work to make sure

they had an easier path
than I did.

Come on.
We all respect your journey.

H-How can you not?

Look, in my mind,
it's like...

you grew up
in World War II France,

you know, except with,
you know,

more sneakers up
on the power lines.

Okay, Compton is more

than stereotypical images
in your head, all right?

It's about families
trying to make it,

like everywhere else.

Dre, it's still impressive
that you survived the place.

One time, when my car broke down
just near Compton,

I left it there
and ran home.

I didn't grow up
in a "Mad Max" movie!

Whoa! I don't want
any trouble, okay?

So, I'm just
gonna give you,

for no reason at all,
all the money in my wallet.

Really, Connor?

Now, you can't blame us.

The place does have
a reputation.

It's the same reason
why I flinch

whenever I see someone
come out of a bathroom

in a Mafia restaurant.Yeah.

Of course youwould
see it that way. But you know what?

I'm proud to go out in the world
and represent the CPT.

That's how I feel
about Darien, Connecticut.

Birthplace
of the salad fork.

Oh.
Yeah.

What are you talking about?

It's not like that at all.
I--

You know what?
Forget you guys.

All that matters is

that my family recognizes
I go hard for Compton.

And if they forgot...

it's time that I remind them
who their daddy is.

Now, is that because
they'renot sure

or he'snot sure?

Not sure.

I think he's not sure.

that we have done

our part to help

Yes. It's my donations.

Meanwhile, I was thinking
about a rose design.

Or maybe a skull.

That weekend, the whole family
packed up and drove down

to volunteer
at the Compton rec center.

While Bow checked us in,

I checked Junior
about how real his dad was.

I'm starting to feel it
already, son.

You know, being here,
it brings back so many memories.

You know, it's days like this
that Beyoncé...

made "Homecoming."

Dad, I hate

to Beyoncé.

two songs.

"Human Nature."

over here.

Cameron: Ah.

There you are.Oh, hello, Cameron --

The kitchen wants to know how
it's going with the potatoes.

Well, actually,
I know Chef was thinking mashed,

but I would suggest
au gratin potatoes,

'cause I don't know
if you can see here,

but I have done
a rustic peel.

Do you know why?

Because the vitamin
is in the skin, Cameron.

The skin of the potato.

Yeah.

I'm sure you've heard
this before,

but just...be less.

I'm sorry.

I just -- I have
so much help to give.

Maybe if you
gave me a position

that was more engaging,
with people.

How about you engage me
with a fully peeled potato,

and we can talk.

Uh-huh.

Maybe we can talk about
your management style,

because I...have...

some...thoughts.

Junior may not have believed

I was Compton
through and through,

but a guided tour through
the old neighborhood

on the way to the Grill Prince
would prove him wrong.

Ooh, hey, son, you see
that alley right there?

Mm-hmm.
That's where I broke

Ben Harkins' ankle

Ruined his prom.
