This is everything we needed missionary to be :snoop: too bad Dr Dre weird ass sold out a long time ago

We don’t want all those goofy Eminem and 50 cent features with some European cac singing the hook :why:


Find the Dub CNN guy. He’s going to link you to an interview from like 10, 15, or 20 years ago, and in that interview, Snoop Dogg says Dr. Dre's doing this Detox album, talking about giving up the chronic and not smoking anymore, and nobody wants to hear that. Dre has been wanting to do that over and over again. That’s what Dre wants—to not be a gangsta rap artist; he wants to be a music artist.

This is that new Dr. Dre presented by Alex Da Kid, with Skylar Grey on the chorus.

Deep down, Jimmy Iovine probably knows this more than anyone. If the album doesn’t have another "The Next Episode," it’s not going to be an album that Dr. Dre will want to put in his official catalog. It’s going to be positioned as a compilation, a soundtrack, or anything but an official Dr. Dre album. Remember, "How my last album was The Chronic, they want to know if I still got it." He’s been talking about the same thing for 20 years. And at the end, this unrealistic expectation has practically become a cornerstone of his brand: that every time he releases something, he’s supposed to change music, change the frequency of music, and shift every expectation of music. The whole sonics of popular music are supposed to change because Dr. Dre just released something—and that’s an unrealistic expectation.

Realistically, the 2001 album was heavily supported by a co-producer he doesn’t work with anymore. Secondly, that album also benefited greatly because he had just acquired a sound kit inspired by George Lucas, and that’s why the sounds were on some next-level new millennium vibe.
