07/22/08 - Dr. Dre Talks 'Detox' I'm shooting for a November or December release

Montana Diary · 07-22-2008, 05:09 PM

The wait for Detox is almost over. Dr. Dre says his long-anticipated third solo album is starting to take shape in the studio and could arrive before the end of the year.

"I'm just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it's going to be right and it's something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it," says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). "In a perfect world, I'm shooting for a November or December release."

If that happens, it will come nine years after his six-times-platinum 2001, which was itself a long-awaited follow-up to his revered 1992 debut, The Chronic That album's bass-fueled G Funk sound dominated rap for years and propelled Snoop Dogg to superstardom. Both albums raised the bar for hip-hop production values.

"I've never set out to do that," says Dre, 43. "I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don't put it out until I'm totally happy with it. Then it does what it does."

"He's a master of crafting a complete album, which is rare these days with everything being singles-driven," Creekmur says. "We've been waiting on this almost a decade, and that ridiculous level of anticipation will translate saleswise. It would be on par with Lil Wayne (whose Tha Carter III recently sold 1 million copies its first week out), if not more."

Detox has been the subject of speculation since Dre first hinted at the project in 2002. He has been working on the album, which will be released on his Aftermath/Interscope Records label, on and off for four years. He says he has assembled a new crew of musicians, and the beats will be heavily driven by live drums. "We have an entirely new thing going with the drums that's incredible, and we're still developing that." All "the usual suspects" will make guest appearances, including Nas, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.

As long as the wait for the upcoming album has been, Dre says it'll be even longer before there's another one. "I'm going to put this record out, promote it, tour and then become a hermit. I'm going to stay in the studio and produce."

But he says he isn't interested in producing albums for established artists. Dre, who previously helped launch Eminem and 50 Cent, says his goal is to find who's next.

"All I want to do is sit in the studio with that person for a year and try to create another masterpiece."

We can only hope at this point.

Yeah buddy!!

Young B-UK Street · 07-22-2008, 05:16 PM

hope this materializes

scirax · 07-22-2008, 05:19 PM

looks like fiddy is gonna have competition then. (if he manages to be nr.1 until then)

The Bad Guy · 07-22-2008, 05:20 PM

ok ...shit becomes serious
cant wait

Tha Unit On Top · 07-22-2008, 05:23 PM

Why the fuck is Wayne gonna be on it? Fuck that, Em, Snoop, Fif, Cube, they should be the ones on it, you no Bishop gonna be on it, I just think this album might have way too many features on it. But this shit needs to come out this year. But I dont get why he says he dont want to produce for established artists, he wants to find new talent. Fuck that, why wouldnt you take the artists you've helped make big, and make another masterpiece with them, another classic Em album, help Fif make an even better album then GRODT, Game better than Doc, Snoop better than Doggystyle. Why not do their albums, artists that the people already no, already like, already have bought millions of there albums, instead of taking a chance with new people nobody knows about. I mean when you really look at it, when Dre was really involved with Em and Fif, and even Games albums, look how good they were, but when he wasnt you got Encore, Curtis, DA, though all had good songs on them, they werent near MMLP, GRODT, DOC.

BlackBauer · 07-22-2008, 05:23 PM

Wow at last Dre himself spoke on the album.. but right now Bishop is scheduled to drop Oct/Nov so I have my doubts bout Detox droppin this year..

Granted, until I go to the store and see the album on the shelf, then I will believe shit actually came out, but if it comes down to Detox or Bishop, what you think gonna come out? Since Dre has to no that if Bishop gonna be on the album like he says he is gonna be on it, probably two or 3 songs I would guess, you no how hyped, how big this album will be, it will top a mill first week, no question, it will be downloaed more than any album ever, bootlegged like a fucker, so all those people around the world who may not no Bishop now will, thats why you dont drop his album before Detox, you drop Detox, let people hear him, then you come with Bishops shit, he has a following from the mixtapes, but you drop detox first, then Bishop early 09. But lets not get ahead of ourselves, If he wants a Nov Dec date, that means March/April at the earliest, probably next summer.

WalshieBal · 07-22-2008, 05:37 PM

Game definetly deserves a shot on that album

You are right for the most part but the thing is Bishop has a single out so it's confusing

Jayse · 07-22-2008, 05:39 PM

Damn, I didn't see the part about Lil Wayne being on it.

This shit just made the wack list.

Yeah but is that single burning up the charts or a video getting mad play on tv, there aint no vid, and I never heard the song on radio in NY, so that could just be a teaser track just to let kids no he is coming. And even if they were to drop Bishop before Detox, that aint gonna be the single they will go with, that is just a warm up track, I would expect like he has said before, his single will probably have Dre on it, that would be the smart thing to do.

Yeah I dont get that shit, I understand Em, Nas, Jay, Snoop, Fif, Game, Cube, Snoop, I understand them, he has a history with them, but why Wayne? Has Dre ever done a song for Wayne? They said Wayne be ghostwriting for him, thats even worse, you tellin me Em, Jay or Nas couldnt write his shit, they have written his shit before. Dre spittin Wayne lyrics would be ass. I hope he aint on the album.

New West Order · 07-22-2008, 05:45 PM

hope wayne dont ruin the album

supragtx · 07-22-2008, 05:46 PM

i guess they puttin wayne in the picture 4 it can get attention and a-track people, and yes i agree i wouldnt like to see wayne in there with dre.... it would be wierd

Wesey · 07-22-2008, 05:47 PM

i think the features in my opinion should be as followed;
Eminem, 50 Cent, Ice Cube, Eazy E (Sample), Bishop Lamont, Snoop Dogg, Stat Quo, Jay-Z, Nas, The Game, RBX, Nate Dogg, Kurrupt, Daz... FUCK LIL WAYNE BASIIICCCAAALLLLLYYYYY!!!

shadybob187 · 07-31-2008, 09:10 PM

I can honestly say i don't believe lil wayne will be on that album, em, fifty, cube and all of them that are w/ dre i can see but not randomly putting lil wayne on there just because he's kinda hot right now

chickenwings · 08-01-2008, 12:25 AM

it will be some sellout bullshit if lil wayne is on it. fuck that shit

anonymous · 08-08-2008, 09:02 AM

if lil' wayne is on this i'm going to be furious. i don't even like that jay-z/nas are going to be on it because they shouldn't be. dre's albums have been all good before with his regular guest spots and i don't want him to ruin this album with lil' wayne's voice on it

Memo · 08-19-2008, 10:44 AM

Fuck Game and Wayne
They shouldn't be on this album.
