Dr. Dre is keeping busy while going through a high-profile divorce.
On Monday (August 3), the Hip Hop legend was pictured in studio with the equally legendary Nas as well as former Aftermath artist, Slim the Mobster. Slim was signed to Dre’s imprint in the late 00s but went to jail in 2013 and was later dropped from the label.
It’s unclear what the trio are working on, but it’s possible they may be cooking up for Nas’ next studio effort. Back in February, Big Sean leaked the news the Queensbridge native was working on a follow-up to 2018’s Kanye-helmed NASIR.
“By the way, Nas dropping an album,” Sean said in an Instagram Story video with Nas himself. “Hey, I’m putting Nas on blast right now. You finna drop?”

In April, Esco confirmed two projects during a Q&A with Music Video Box pioneer Ralph McDaniels for the “Hip Hop Loves New York” YouTube event – one with producer Hit-Boy, as well as another top secret one.
“There’s some projects going on,” he told McDaniels. “One of them, I was working with Hit-Boy and I still am. And then there’s another, the one I’m working on that I don’t want to disclose. But Hit-Boy, that’s been fun working with him. So he played a snippet in the battles the other day, a snippet of something. We got some things.”
Dre previously produced tracks on Nas’ It Was Written album and Hip-Hop Is Dead.
Who REALLY gives a fuck

Lame response, like your existence

Still waiting on Detox
If your waiting for that to happen sucka youll be a waiting mothafucka
Why? He released Compton (dope btw)
Detox is a different album. Maybe if dre dies interscope gonna release it.
They look like grand PA’s on the corner reminiscing about the past lol.
This is why stagnation happens so often with Dre, and Nas. They always wanna make these pronouncements about these albums that are on the way, then they get people’s hopes up and either never drop it, or by the time they drop it people are disappointed because they expected a masterpiece after waiting so long. Just go in the studio, have fun, find a good zone, and when you’ve accumulated enough songs for an album, put it out. Be effortless. Stop being such a perfectionist, that doesn’t work in rap. It comes off like you’re trying too hard. Nas and Dre are both uptight now, and it’s effecting their music. Just let it flow, sometimes imperfections in music are good. Peace.
Worked out pretty good for Dre being a perfectionist-given his track record…
I don’t know about that. I still don’t think “Compton” was a ‘special’ album that will stand out over time. It felt…I don’t know..fake. Dre using all these otter flies and voices that were obviously someone else’s rhymes. It didn’t feel organic or loose. It felt contrived and secret. It didn’t feel like they were smokin chronic and makin hiphop, it felt like some over-rehearsed Hollywood ‘Production’. Just the nature of it wasn’t really hiphop. It was vulgar pop music masquerading as hiphop. Because you can’t be THAT secluded and high-society and still be hiphop. Come outside. Take your cyborg suit off.
Otter flies. Haha haha. I don’t even know what I meant to say. Other flows maybe, or other styles.
Slim The Mobster is not slim anymore
good point
