Dr. Dre Trying To Finish “Detox” In Detroit With Eminem

    We may be approaching a decade since we first heard about Detox, but progress is being made. Andre “Dr. Dre” Young has released an official single in “Kush, ” complete with a video. Shortly after “Kush” leaked, another track called “I Need A Doctor ” featuring Eminem leaked as well. In his upcoming interview in XXL magazine, Dre revealed that he’s spent some time in Detroit with Em trying to finish the album.

    “Yeah, that’s the only reason why I’m here” Dre said when asked if Detox was actually coming. “I’m out here in Detroit, getting some work done with Em on the project. I’ve been out here for about two and a half months. Yeah, that’s it. I’m tryna get it done. I’m really feeling it now. My energy has been back and forth with the record, tussling with doing it out of obligation, as opposed to doing it because I really feel it. My feelings about it have been going up and down. Now I’m in that place where I’m really feeling it, and it’s coming out right. It’s like, Yeah, I’m excited about it.”

    Dre continued to talk about his caucasian protege, and the risk of signing a white emcee. “Yeah, throughout my career, I’ve always tried to take certain risks. Even at the beginning, with “Fuck Tha Police.” I’ve always tried to take certain risks, and as far as Em goes, I always felt like nobody can deny it’s good. I feel like, if I hadn’t met Em or we hadn’t linked up, he would eventually have become a success anyway. Because he’s so talented. I was just fortunate enough to meet him first and open the door for him. As far as the race thing goes, when I heard Em for the first time, I didn’t even know he was White. I just knew I wanted to work with him. And that kind of actually made it better for me, because it was so different. As a creator and innovator, nothing can beat that, and that’s all I was looking at. It was a new and creative thing that sounds different and looks different, and we got along. We had fun making those records in the early days, and still. We still have the same energy today that we had the first day we went in the studio. And we still have that level of passion for it.”

    1. well if Detox sounds like the “Kush” single i def wont buy the shit

      Dre got the audience waitin like a motha fucka for more than 10 years he betta not leave us on our expectations

      and sorry for the constant dick ridaz but the “kush” single has nothin to do with what “still d.r.e.” meant to the 2001 album ! back then you could smell the classic album simply hearing “still dre”

      1. and for all you motha fuckas that disagree with me, then all i can say is prepare to get this fat dick rammed straight up into your ass cracks. hard

      2. im waitin for the cd to drop and i will cop, havent listend to kush yet, but you right one-hunnid, when i heard still dre, my jaw dropped and new 2001 was an immediate cop

    2. no album can possibly live up to the amount of hype this one has…tupac and big could come back from the dead and not have as much fucking hype as this shit has…

    3. Dre please! U r still workin on Detox! How many procuders have given u beats, how many ghostwriters, how many features????
      Take ya time…

    4. Dre is the epitome of black prejudice, lazy, procrastinative, poor work ethic, and just down right a rules breaker. What label would give an artist the freedom to take ten years to do an album? Please retire after this Dre.

      1. Probably one that has a subsidary like Aftermath and it probably helps when he’s one of the most sought after producers with 2 multi platinum albums u dumb fuck

      2. you are right normally a label would have kicked him from the label. I will not say that dre is lazy he’s a perfectionist but come on 10 years

      3. You guys are all fuckin stupid, he took ten years to turn 50 Cent and Eminem into cash cows……Drop him from the label, everybody who co signed this idiot, please kill yourself

      4. @Evans

        You’re an idiot. Dre’s made classics so he can spend as much time as he wants. Granted Detox took forever but almost every rapper would want a Dre beat and after selling over 10 million records on two albums and his legendary status cemented the good doctor can do as he pleases. obviously you probably come of age with such classic rappers as Wayne, Gucci & Waka. fuck outta here.

      5. If you did your fucking homework, Dre made Jimmy Iovine MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for Interscope. If I’m the right hand man of a label I better get all the pull I want no matter how many years it takes to bring out a product I feel comfortable with.

        And besides, since his initial announcement of Detox he’s given artists beats he “thought” about putting on Detox. If you take Dre’s beats from Get Rich or Die Trying and The Documentary you would have had the most gangsta album SINCE N.W.A. but he had a different vision for the album.

        Think before you speak on Dre’s work ethics, ‘because for some years people claim he did “nothing” he was still on top of Forbes lists as a producer, meaning he still gave people beats… you were likely gettin’ stupid off a Soulja Boy single to notice.

      6. dre. has probably one of the best work ethics of any black man, retard. that dude made a great rapper do one vers 100 times with like 4 hours of work just because he wasnt feelin it.

    5. no Dre take your time and use 10 more years then the album will be perfect. The kush is the most horrible song of dre in his career

    6. wtf Dre u still aint done homie. ten gat dam years and u still workn on dat shit homie? that album better make my speakers explode when i play it.

      1. I hope it doesn’t make my speakers explode…. I would hate to have to buy new ones every time I listen to the album…

    7. Y’all need 2 shut dat sh** up.We need Dre.Y’all satisfied with this electric rap bullsh**?Nicki, Wayne, Drake, all garbage.It’z haterz like y’all dat R destroyin’ our culture by buyin’ dat bullsh** & supporting half azz muzik.I think some of y’all need 2 go back 2 tha classics & re-examine Hip-Hop’s history, becuz y’all don’t know sh**.E’rytime Dre came wit somethin’, U had a thousand people who tried 2 imitate his sound-from ‘The Chronic’ 2 ‘2001’ & other folkz jointz-dey tried 2 emulate dat for YEARZ.He’s a innovator, bottom line-and if U wanna stop progress wit this right here, maybe U should listen 2 country.Do whut U do Dre, I’m w/U bruh, don’t listen 2 cornballz who think dey know tha culture just becuz dey listen 2 it.

    8. BIG HUTCH from Above the Law invented that westcoastsound together with Dre and Anonymous is a fuckin idiot don´t know nothin about hiphop you punkass die slowly.

    9. Frist off, Dr Fag’s beats are waaay overrated….chronic and 2001 both sucked, didn’t even go platinum. Eminem is waaaaay overrated….guy takes like 5 hours just to write down 4 bars, he cant freestyle. I fuckin swear man fat joe needs to get on and murder these clowns

      1. first of all, idk how you can talk about sales when fat joe has sold around 2 mill copies total throughout 10 albums. Dr. Dre has sold around 12mill in 2 albums. second of all, dr. dre is in the top 5 producers of all time. oh and btw, if your butt buddy fat joe got murdered by 50 cent, which is pathetic, wtf you do think will happen when em gets on a track towards him, faggot.

      2. i mean dudes right….eminem and dre are both waaaaaay overrated….only reason dre sold so many is because he had snoop with him….dre’s nothing without snoop. dont even let Joey Crack get on a mic against eminem..joey would murder em in a heart beat fuckin fags

      3. Dude fuuuuuck that westcoast bullshit….westcoast is fuckin dooooooone!!!! fuck dre fuck pac fuck g malone fuck nippsey fuck messy marv fuck mistah fab fuck mac dre fuck yukmouth fuck dpg, fuck snoop fuck kurupt, fuck xzibit, fuck brotha lynch hung, fuck t nutty nut, fuck j stalin, fuck beeda weeda, fuck the jacks, fuck husalah and the mob figaz and defintly fuck mac dre…i think i said that already but ye fuck mac dre dancin ass nigga

      4. WestUp you are an idiot. Snoop is nothing w/o Dre. Dre created Snoop. He produced the whole Doggystyle album besides maybe 2 or 3 cuts. When Game Is To Be Sold album flopped, he went back to Dre for Top Dogg. Dre is one of the GOAT’s. There is a lot of beatmaker/producers out there, but very few can orchestrate and carry full albums like him.

      5. LMAO at all these niggas sayin Joey shit rap crack is better than Em. Em is overrated but Fat Joe just plain sucks. This nigga get outdone on all his songs, each album has sucked worse then the one before. only reason anyone know fat joe cuz he rode on Pun’s legacy and throws out Pun’s name every chance he get. Fuck that fat nigga Joe.

        Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    10. dude are you fuckin serious. Dr Dre is tha maaaaaaan!!! fuck man I cant believe you think fat ass joe hole is better then eminem….fuck that shit….you just pissed me off….when i read that I almost wet my panties

That shit aint even worth arguing whatever idiot makes that statement obviously aint heard no serious Em bars they dont even compare in lyricism and metaphors..lmao point blank period.Them niggas below sound serious too, nah nah I know yall niggas just playin mannnnnn its okay nevamind

    16. “Even at the beginning, with “Fuck Tha Police.”

      That wasnt the beginning; he was taking even bigger risks years earlier when he was wearing make-up and dressing drag in the World Class Wreckin Crew

      1. Really one of the most talented producers in the world & you are hung up on some photos’ that have probably been airbrushed like a hundred times…

      2. ……And Lil Wayne wears makeup and kisses men on the mouth, yet your crying about a performance costume Dre wore in the 1980’s???

        SMH & LMAO @ the same time, this generation is full of clowns

      3. haha Wayne did kiss another man on his lips and thought that was acceptable…the disturbing part about it is they kissed all the time…Still amped for Detox and Carter IV call me weird but I like good hip hop.

    17. OKAY TO ALL YA’LL WHO DONT KNOW

      Dre’s the boss, owner, heah hancho
      Stack chip cheesed up call him nacho
      He’s not cha one of the mill
      He’s the king of the hill
      you see the bling in his grill
      He keeps it elegant
      Stay’s hella bent
      If it aint about money boy it irrelevant
      Hella tint on tha windows
      of tha benzo
      people see his rims and say “can i spin those”

    18. rap fans act more like bitches these days. Don’t know what good music is, even if it slapped the fuck outta them. fuck the haters? shit im happy they hatin’. obviously dr. dre still on their minds..enough for them to hate like bitches on their periods. Thanks haters..you keeping dre alive! keep up the good work!

    19. Fuck Detox. Kush’s a wet banger. It could appear on Bishop Lamont’s albums… A 6 years wait for that ??? Fuck Detox

      1. What exactly would a song have to sound like to be worth the 6 year wait? If your going to judge the album based on how long it took, then your going to be let down no matter what.

    20. seriously. all y’all have nothing better to do than drag this thread on about joe and em?! dre’s production has been nothing less than banger on Chronic and 2001. His styles have been 100% original. The whole gang back in the day throwin’ the G-funk elements together. bringing snoop into the game. NWA. you kidding me? he may be struggling now but he been in the game 30 years!! maybe he’s outa ideas. maybe he isn’t gonna create another level that y’all jock for the next 10 years. n his past irrelevant, he claims he isn’t gangster. he studied, stayed off the streets and made millions. irrelevant fucking posts. kill yourself. oh, and for all y’all gonna post about dre’s nut on my lips, stop drooling. dismissed.

    21. Man fuck these pussy niggaz. Dr. Dre? LOL that grandpa can’t even write his own lyrics. Eminem? A fucking cracka who eats named himself after a fucking candy. LOL M&M’s.

      At least Gucci Mane can rap. Listen to Lemonade, Haterade, Antisocial and his best song….

      It’s Gucci Time!

      1. i have to agree with these people if u think repeating gucci 99 times in a 5 min period is good rap then clearly u need to see a doctor because compairing em and dre to gucci is beyond retarded

      2. hahahaha you clearly wank over gucci mane, he’s as shit as lil wayne and drake and the rest of them dick heads who can’t rap, and gucci mane probs doesn’t write his own lyrics like neither does lil wayne! (: eminem and dr. dre have talent

      1. Yo! I checked out this site and the beats were vicious! I think he is going to take over the #2 spot in homosexual rap soon… this gayboy has the boy clubs on smash.

    22. everyone i come to you with an important message! this guy you call “Dr. Dre” is not really a doctor! We should put the power back to the real doctors who went to school for their phd. this man is blasphemy!

    23. this man is blasphemy with his outlandish lines of some sort of detox that he has supposedly been working on.. the real cures lay at the rehab centers or withing yourself.. stay strong brothers!

    24. Pretty! This was a really wonderful post. Thank you for your provided information.
      Greetings! Very helpful advice on this article! It is the little changes that make the biggest changes. Thanks a lot for sharing!

    25. Hip hop fans are done waiting for Detox. You’ve been more focused on you’re overpriced headphones than that album in the last 5 years.

    26. this new rap music today is shit , the 80s 90s rap was KING you no why because it made since in words todays hip hop sucks because some cant rap so thay use loops instead to patch it up on a track , but dr.dre is my mentor dr.dre can make good albums , the getto boys was one of great rappers in my book from the 90s

      1. i don’t even know if i wanna hear detox…it sounds like he didn’t even wanna do it…. detox aint gonna do no numbers nuttin against dre he’s a legend and has my upmost respect… but i think he took too long to drop
