Thank God!!! Detox!!!

[mabrymusic]

Dr. Dre’s Detox could be considered the rap equivalent of Guns n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy. Both albums are long in the making, oft-delayed and sometimes seem entirely fictional. But as we discovered that Chinese Democracy is close to becoming a reality thanks to those leaked tracks, Snoop Dogg confirmed today that Detox is on its way as well. “That record is real, it’s coming,” Snoop Dogg said, having recently recorded tracks for Dre’s album. “I was starting to doubt it myself and then I went up in there and he played so much music for me it knocked my head off.” Snoop also adds the album is finished, and now it’s up to Dre to go through all the songs he’s culled and decide which make the final cut. “I see what he got them waiting for, it’s on and poppin’,” the Doggfather said. Snoop also revealed that Dre will produce his next record, the follow-up to Ego Trippin’.

Bishop Lamont also confirmed it. I CAN'T WAIT!

Thing is though, he has to be really careful.

Everyone has been waiting for this, for so long, that it honestly has to hit all ears crazy and have everyone going nuts otherwise it will be a huge flop and ruin his reputation.

i heard some many guest are on it tho:confused:

think of 2001, there were tonnes of guests! i just hope hittman is on the new one, he made 2001 in all honesty. this would be the first gangsta/mainstream album i've checked in ages (when it finally gets here!!)

In a new article published in USA Today, Dr. Dre talks about the long-awaited "Detox" and reveals that he's pushing for a November or December release. Check out the article below:

"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."

Expectations for the album are high, thanks to Dre's pedigree and perfectionist reputation, says Chuck Creekmur, co-founder of the music news site allhiphop.com.

"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.

dre always has a ghost writer from what i've heard. i think D.O.C has been credited with a lot of it ,as he apparently couldn't rap anymore after some kind of severe damage to his throat/voice box

car crash...he was dope as hell, no one could do it better is probably one of the best and underrated west coast CDs....and everyone treats this CD as if its the second coming, the CD thats gonna save hip-hop...its just gonna be another CD

Dr Dre said hes not rapping about what his other cds had. Hes doing a new view on things supposedly.

ive got a feeling this will be a dissapointment, i liked dres previous albums bcos he kept it mainly westcoast, cept a few, i heard hes got nas and all others on this, it will just be dissapointin like a compilation album, like shifted said theres too much pressure n shit aswell, but dre put most of that on himself by takin so long

an yeh dre has always had ghostwriters from snoop to doc to eminem and probably others aswell

[elephant_man]

depends if hes got good ghostwriters or not, simple really

good ghostwriters = good album
bad ghostwriters = terible overrated album only known for its beats

I have a mixed feeling about this album i feel that there are going to be a few hot tracks. While the rest are Ight or bad. Like the MIMS album.

[mrnicksta]

well i'm, looking forward to hearing it disappointment or not, just because it's been such a long time coming!

i'm gonna say it again tho, hittman (or is it hitmann? there's a double letter in there somewhere!) was the star of the last album, hopefully he's all over this one. matter of fact did he ever release anything himself?

[Kenshi]

from what i know he hasnt released anything him self. and its november december now and now sign of detox :( no surprise tho. i hope lil wayne isnt on it. i really hope not. jay-z i dont want on it. but i guess i could deal. nas over dre beats is good. he showed it on "nas is coming". i dont think it will be a bad cd tho. i want to hear some snoop and dre together.
