Funny thing is even tho dre has given up on this a long time ago, dre fans haven't given up. Think about '03-'06, he or some aftermath artists were saying it all over tracks (em, 50, game), we haven't heard anything like that in years. He dropped that :scusthov: with hov and another with snoop and nothing took off so he figured, **** it.

Dre's been running the clock out on his "rap career" since GRODT.

I dont blame him tho. He's 47 and doesnt write his own rhymes and he barely produces anything. Hip Hop lost for even wanting this cat to drop anything.

I cant think of anything that would be more LHolmes status than a bunch of songs from Dre & Snoop.

Out of those two official singles that had videos, the one with Snoop and Akon made me a little hype. Then I Need A Doctor came out. :pacspit:

Don't know if it'll ever drop but right now would be the best 2nd chance he'd have at a legit good album. Ride that TDE wave sprinkled with the OG westcoast artist and he cod have another classic

The songs he dropped prior to releasing "Kush" were all unfinished. "Kush" actually peaked on the Hot 100 at #34 and "I Need A Doctor" reached #4. After releasing videos for both songs, performing "I Need A Doctor" at the Grammys, and receiving a Grammy nomination for that song, and still no album, it's likely that it won't be released.

If Dre released Detox today, I doubt we'd get a Dre produced album. The last production with his name in the credits is a track that landed on T.I.'s mixtape and that song is from 2009.

Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, The Game, Crooked I, Slim the Mobster are all under Interscope. That's a lot of talent that could work with Dre on his album who are under the same label.

Nobody gives a shyt about detox anymore

Dre killed his own buzz by prolonging the album for 10 years.Best time to drop detox woulda been 2004 or 2006

The perfect time for it to drop was when Game had it on lock.

Dre even said it himself. He can't do it on his own. But now, the West got the best collection of MCs out. Combined with the OGs, a Detox album now could be mind blowing. Tell me you wouldn't be anticipating this album with these guys on it:

Snoop
Kendrick
Eminem
Kurupt
Schoolboy Q
Crooked I
Dom Kennedy
Game
Ab Soul
Slim the Mobster
YB
Jay Rock
Fashawn
Blu
Nipsey Hussle
Based God
Tyler


Imagine a possse cut with crooked I, kurupt, em and Kendrick

The possibilities are endless

3/4 of them dudes won't even be on detox

the title is the least important part. this would a be a west coast compilation album similar to chronic and 2001.
In people's mind the name Detox has been built up to mean so much and has been anticipated for so long that no matter how good it actually was, cats would hate on it
