SOHH LEFT COAST
Will 2007 finally see the release of Detox?
Posted on January 2, 2007 2:05 AM
With the first blog of 2007, it’s only right that we kick things off with the topic that’s on everyone’s mind- is this the year that we’ll actually see Dr. Dre end the anticipation of hip hop fans the world round?
With the wave of highly-anticipated albums that dropped in ‘06, there’s really only one West Coast release that people are already checking for in 2007 and that, of course, is Detox. Although Dre has been saying he would release every year for at least the last 2 or 3 years, this is looking like the year it might actually happen, as a release date has reportedly been set for September 25th. According to hnnlive.com, the lead single is set to drop in late spring, with the first video premiering in June.
Hnnlive.com also reported that Detox is said to have a featured guest on every track, and that there’s a possibility that Scott Storch will act as a co-producer for the album; if that is indeed the case, I’m pretty sure it won’t do much to curb the rumors that Storch frequently acts as a ghost producer for the good doctor. Bishop Lamont and Eminem will be included in the guest roster, and it’s rumored that Lloyd Banks, Snoop, Jay Z, Diddy and The Game will also make appearances.
Although Dre’s repeated postponement of what has been said to be his retirement album has certainly built up shitloads of anticipation, he needs to be careful not to wait so long that people start to lose interest. There’s also the possibility that a good portion of fans will be frustrated by Dre’s self-proclaimed perfectionism and will, in turn, download the album rather than purchasing it. And with the way things have been going lately with hip hop albums, there’s a pretty good chance that will happen whether fans are disgruntled or not.
Based on Dre’s nearly spotless track record (for the most part, that is... we’ve done our best to forget most of Dr. Dre presents: The Aftermath ), there’s not much doubt that Detox will be a huge album, and that we can at least count on the production being tight. But will it be worth the wait?
Hopefully we’ll find out on September 25th... hopefully.

1st
NOW! I pray this nigga drops this album this year, I can't even imagine how dope it would b.
I think that if this shit does drop it will be one of the biggest selling hip hop albums ever, I can't imagine nobody who copped the chronic and the chronic 2001 not wanting detox, dre's one of those dudes who stays relevant untill he decides not to.
ummm, it aint the most anticipated, u started by sayin the question on most peoples minds is wether or not he will release that album, fuck that the question on my mind for the 07 is how can i make more dough nigga. i gave up on that album long time, i aint sayin it aint never comin out, but i aint waitin on it like that no more. that end of september release date is crazy, which makes me believe it aint coming out this year.
he needs to not let eminem produce though, cos in my opinion, he has only produced one good track, as for scot storch, he may or may not put in that ghost work,but who knows/cares. but damn dre takes his time, pac said it, and its still true
damn....i had forgotten bout that album n please correct me if i am wrong but isn't eminem supposed to drop an album by the same name?
good luck to him and i hope everyone at sohh has a great new year!
PAMOJA!!!
I don't want to hear about Detox until there is a single in rotation. We could have this blog every year and still no album out yet.
detox isn't coming out. we get this same malarky every yea - it's just dre's way of keeping himself in the picture. why can't evryone just move on from this? he still makes a few good tracks every year, so just make do with what you get.
and a quick thing - who's heard nas 'hip hops dead'? i suggest youu dont, it really is rubbish. nas should just stop now, its getting quite lame
Who cares? It's bad when "everyone" is anticipating an album from a +40 rapper. The game is dying because people don't know how to move on. 40 is NOT the new 30 although it's hard to tell these days. I remember when 25 was considered too old to rap. Now look at us. This is pathetic. Hip hop started as music for KIDS by KIDS. When adults clog the lane it prohibits new talent from developing. There's no new blood in the game because EVERYONE is promoting their point of relevance. OLD writers and and A&R's promote what they're familiar with so we keep getting the same shit over and over. To hell with detox. Let the new breed get a shot... It might actually invigorate a dying genre.
nah, you wont' see it in 2007. The music atmosphere is too flooded with garbarge right now. You only had a few projects come out that stood apart from the norm (e.g,. jay, nas, ti). Other than that, I don't think dre will want to try and rush it for nobody.
everybody go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXy3dn28LW4
Good morning & happy new year everyone!!!...I hope Dre's new cd does come out this year.....

Detox eh ... honestly i think it will be crap ... not because it may be crap ... but because the hype will be SOO GREAT like it has been for the album over the last 5 years that people may be anticipating something that may not occur ...
honestly im looking forward to another Dr. Dre cd ... but honestly i think the hype would kill it ...
make no mistake people ... i am looking forward to another beat like 'Still Dre'
That shit better come out this year

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i agree n disagree, he aint gonna rush for no-one, but shit, 8 years is long enuff. but i dont think he'll delay it cos theres no competition, if anything, that'll make ya shit hotter. the three albums u mentioned that dropped in the 06 stand out not cos they were that great, but cos they were amongst so much hot trash. i just cant see him bringin it out, cos he dont have the hunger. he dropped his last album in 1999 and and has never set a serious release date, he seems to b on sum 'if i feel like it' shit
I used to be a hard-core Dr. Dre fan but as time goes on and that bitch ass nigga keep makin us wait I'm like fuck Dr. Dre...He dont even produce every record you think he does...Check the credits...The keys,strings,synths aren't even played by him...Hip hop is at a all time low...RIP Big Pun,Biggie,Big L, Pac

nas weak his hop hop is dead
Fuck Detox !!! Overhyped bullshit never lives up to expectations.....Doctor's Advocate(weak)...Kingdom Come(wack)...Hiphop Is Dead(average)...Rotten Apple(what?)...Blood Money(slept on)...Release Therapy(boooring)!!!!
I Like Dre, but like Cube said "Nigga stick to producing". You need to find a new dud who spits fire and put him on. Your roster is full of wack fucks except Em. I mean Dre had a great run, but maybe it's time to move on. Preemo is better producer, and as far as an emcee there are to many to mention better then Dre. He should have stuck by Game and told 50 to fuck off!
One
thats what wrong with the world today they got all you fags holdin their dicks i can careless about them nigga like them nigga can careless about us yall the dumb ass makin them nigga rich buyin they cdz nigga i do like a real nigga will do buy a bootleg that shit work good ass hell and you save money hahahahahahaha
Nigga talking bout hip hop is dead is average??? Do ya'll just listen to the beats and just skim through it? If that aint one of the best albums of the year, what is? T.I's shit aint as hot (sorry to tell ya'll) Pllllleaase actually LISTEN before you say something like that......And by the way ill believe in Detox when its in stores.....you already know it wont be bullshit, it goes without saying!
Hey, man get Game off ur list. Game is not gonna be on Dre's cd.

-----------------------------------
Co-Sign. Dre is a "Hype Hop" artist. He signs artists (Rakim, King Tee, etc), but they never release anything. Then he blames it on their work ethic. Whateve happened to the NWA reunion or the Cube/Dre album? Eve? Fuck Dre and his damn Detox album. It's not like he is the only producer that makes hot tracks. In MY opinion Premo & Quik make better beats anyway. You can pretty much tell a Dre beat. I repeat, that is MY opinion.

The Detox is droppin this year. Dre said it himself on Bishop Lamont's myspace page, check it out 4 urself. This album will be the 2nd of 3rd best album of d year behind buck and 50. 100
O Yeah who d hell said he should stick 2 producin? Dre may not be d best at rappin but he always keeps it real not like most of this young mc's 2day dat lyrics r full of lies. I bet 1 thing dre wont make a album jus 2 sell records or start up any beefs jus 2 go platinum. He was around with the best (2Pac, B.I.G.,Eazy, Ice Cube) so show some respect.Livin Legend

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
wtf
what r u basing that on, did u hear straight outta cashville, did u hear the massacre, even grodt, both dre's albums kill dem albums. nigga u need to let g unit go. i aint sayin dre will make the best hip hop album this year, cos he cant rap, but it'd piss on ANY g-unit album, and thats not hate son.
Buck's new album sound's betta than his last 4rm d records i heard but dat 50 album was jus a prediction. If dre could jus keep em,50,bishop lamont, maybe devin the dude, snoop, and some of his in-house staff i would be cool with it but he dont need no damn diddy on his album. N***a 4 wat?
Man.....Dre iz part of da past...He used 2 b da Shit bak den bt az years go by,he goz DOWN n i dun c it changin dis year...I mean,ive waited 4 this album 4 a fukin 8 YEARS...am tired n bored...I won't b 1rst in line 2 get it n I don't think that am the only 1....
Hip Hop is Dead is AVERAGE?!?!? Sometimes, I wonder what some of you are listening to. Finally a lyrical album drops and it's called "average". Whatever.
Anyway, if and when Detox drops, I'm getting it. Dre has never dissapointed me before, so why wouldn't I cop it.

I won't hold my breath on this one. If he has been promising the CD for 3 years, why isn't it done? If it is done why are they waiting for September to release it? How is Game going to be on the CD? Is it an old track? Isn't Dr. Dre shunning Game on 50s behalf?
I don't know. It's just one of those things that make me say hmmmmmm.
On a sad note I was in the mood for a Cali explosion yesteday as I cooked New Year's dinner. I played Doctor's Advocate, The Chronic, Rhythm-al-ism
(DJ Quik) and when I went looking for Doggie Style the tape was missing!!! I hate when bitches steal from my music collection. If they were serious collectors like me they would have the ish they want instead of stealing my ish. So I know they are going to play my cherished music a little and then lose it. I'm gonna have to lock my ish up or stop having visitors altogether. Damn.
Did Scott Storch help with a lot of the production that we give Dr. Dre credit for??? Hell yeah!
But, nearly all of the hottest producers out right now have a a dude on the side helping them out.
Kanye West got help from Jon Brion on Late Registraion.
Timbaland has been getting help from Danja for the last 3-4 years.
The Neptunes is a production team.
Etc, etc, etc...
Plus...
Timbo got on, by sideline producing Jodeci's music w/ Devante.
K. West got on by ghosting for NO I.D> (I think).
So this ain't new... I bet ya favorite producer has a young hungry cat under his wing, on a fat salary, making hot @ss beats!
BUY DR DRES ALBUM AND EMINEMS ALBUM AND SUPPORT REAL HIPHOP BITCHESSSSSSSSS
IF SNOOP DOGGY DOGG AND DR. DRE REUNITED FOR DR. DRE'S 2001 THEN THE GAME AND DR. DRE WILL DO SOME BREAK-UP TO MAKE-UP SHIT FOR DETOX!!!! THATS WHAT THE SURGEON GENERAL DOES, HE TAKES YOU UNDER HIS WING IF YOU FUCK UP.. HE STILL FORGIVES YOU.

Most definately. I hold Quik in the same regard as Dr. Dre. He is that dude and I have been bumping that CD since '93 everytime I prepare to go out to the club. That ish is banging!
The album will feature 2 CDs and possibly a 3rd.

I co-sign that! Dr. Dre is a great producer. But Quik is a musical genius! That cat plays like 9-10 instruments or something. He may not sell as many units as Doc, but he's a severely underrated producer and musician!
Big up to DJ Quik!

i really think you niggas need to to grodt it due props.
from start to finish this album is sick and was the main music in everyone whip for a entire year and more.even now i still hear grodt in whips and in mine cmon.aint nobody still bumping wu-tang no diss but thats the fact.you hater bump 50 all day and then get online to hate the nigga lol.you haters go download "power of a dollar" and "guess who back"bitches!!!!
Yo NIMROD that kid shit is the single most retarded thing I've heard since I worked for the Special Olympics. The problem with hip hop is that like much of the culture in our country today it lacks balance. We're getting the full effect of having a culture that is completely one sided and lacks the multi-faceted nature that made 'golden era' hip hop that the old farts wax philosophic about great.
THE THING IS THIS PEOPLE---
What made jokes and caricatures and spoofs of hip hop culture funny in the past is that the blown out of proportion crazy sh!t was nothing like real hip hop culture of the moment..
What makes those types of jabs funny and ultimately sad for those that love the culture is that they're funny now because they're dead on.
EVERYBODY ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT GOT DAMN DRE WHAT ABOUT ME WHAT ABOUT RAVEN? GOT DAMMIT IT'S MY TURN YOU ASSHOLE FANS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!
WHO CARES!
It's not about dre....it's about Sean price ...Jesus Price Superstar!
Hiphop is alive bitches!
It's just doesn't live at 106 and park mutha fuckas!
Anybody saying Dre doesn't make hot beats you dont have an ear for the shit. Not only does the shit bang..you have to compare how clear the nigga shit is compared to others. Dre is a damn uncaged BEAST when it comes to the clarity of each individual sound in his beats. his snares are always kickin' hard as fuck....and people dont understand...just cuz he got a keyboardist doin' some shit doesnt mean he isn't a producer. He's orchestratin' the entire composition. step your knowledge up. He ain't a legend for nothin'.
yall is crazy. you know when detox comes out you will be on dres dick. You let everything around you get in the way of music. You like a song then someone says something about it (beef ect) then you hate it. let music be music mayne
Yeah I knew I'd be the last post wit dat one. Now close this thread.

no u fuckin retards, 2001 is nt number 8 album, u dumbasses, it owns that old skool shit straight outta compton, whos executive producer was dj yella, that nigga cant make beats for shit.
the bad thing about detox was when it was supposed 2 be released in 2004, taht version, dre took almost all the tracks out and gave the beats to busta rhymes or other rappaz in aftermath, he could 'v just released it and make another one (the one he s workin on) for 2007, dat would'v have been fair, but to trash em all was kinda stupid. anywayz liek y all said dat bad ass album better come this year, cuz september is bad enough
So is Detox really gonna happen??? Better save my pennies now!! but I kno no matter how hot that banger will be, someone is still gonna HATE!!!
dre needs to bring this shit out fast mann i sick of listening to the old shit he takes to fucking long wats up wid that.
Dre cant rap? You guys need to listen to this shit before you post your opinon. Detoix is gonna be discusting you know Dre wont put out anything less then perfection. As far as Hip Hop is Dead its Nas's best album besides Illmatic and Stillmatic. The Hustlers beat is unreal (Dre's beat!). Rap sucks now fuck T.I. and Jezzy and all of that down south shit as well. Game is the only respctable rapper out now since Banks new album is the same 16 songs and i cant imagine 50s album being too good unless eminem is on every track. M.O.B. bitch
o yeah and Ready to Die is better then Life After death. Are you kidding me?
M.O.B. You jus can't say fuc T.I.! Trust, he's the next big rapper that everyone is gonna want to collab wit! Y!, cus after that kiss wit BABY, LIL Weezy's shine is bout run its course! that's my opinion! but them Grand Hustle knukka got some good sounds!
sorry omar but T.I. isnt shit. He is the same as all the other down south bullshit that is going on. And about lil wezzy i never flet him. "Im the Fireman" fuck that get that shit outta here and bring back hiphop. I thoght G-Unit was gonna do it but with their last few release and 50 marjketing everything down to condems? i dont see them doing shit in the future G-Unot is where its at.
dr. Dre represents the HIP-HOP boss. He said " if ya'all don't like me, blow me, ya'all ain't gonna keep 4cking around with me and turn me back to the old me." RECOGNIZE THE BOSS. DETOX or I DIE.
That list of top ten albums was way off base. No way in hell that Ready to Die or Illmatic gets on that list! Not before the Marshall Mathers LP at least...... Every track on that album was lyrical genius. It is easily top 3 of all time....
1. All Eyes on Me
2. Marshall Mathers LP
3. Life After Death
