Obviously there were essentially rumors of Detox dropping since I believe 2002 when Dr dre first discussed the album. There was Dre saying lookout for Detox on "westside story" by the game...there was em saying they were gonna make dre do it on ecore...obviously a million interviews, but when SHOULD he have?

I think you look at 3 time periods

The one that makes the most sense to me is late 2005, AFTERMATH was arguably at its height.. 50 had done diamond last 2 albums, eminem also, dr dre was still cranking out amazing beats like outta control remix, the game had had massive success with the documentary it was time. Dr dre gets prime 50, semi prime em, the game, nate dogg, snoop ect in this era:blessed:

. taste of this era

2nd option is late 2007/2009- I think in this era dre goes with bishop lamont he was pushing, eminem in relapse to recovery era which was his comeback...we saw i need a doctor drop in this era (pure ass to me)...... Nas, TI , add in snoop had some reference tracks:feedme:


3rd option is to me is 2018, slightly after Damn but before black panther soundtrack..kendrick and all TDE?:manny:




So what yall think? And who would you have liked to see on it in those eras that played a smaller part? Kokane? kurupt? suga free? Joe conner? When was indeal how WOULD you have liked to see it play out and what do you think about today?

right after that epic run mentioned in OP :wow:

the entire Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit roster at his disposal

have 50 and Game on there, regardless of their little beef

and bring in some classic Death Row inmates and maybe some surprises.

Dre and his team of musicians plus Aftermath producers (Focus..., Hi-Tek, etc.) on the boards.

this album would've been perfect,


and it was right before he started inviting every artist and producer under the sun in the industry to contribute to it :snoop::scusthov::camby:

Before Game and Busta as it's rumored some of those beats were meant for Detox, maybe even let Encore sit out so after GRODT it probably wouldve been as close to the perfection Dre wholeheartedly expects from his own project.

WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE A LOST TAPES PROJECT FROM HIM, "THE VAULT" OR SOME shyt LIKE THAT...

mad to this day topless was never officially released

Definitely Topless was a Detox track, he mentions it on his verse
