Q-Tip and Dr. Dre were recently photographed together, an image that was published on Instagram by the A Tribe Called Quest producer-emcee today (April 17).
The image features both artists embracing in a handshake in a recording studio. The photograph’s caption, which features several hashtags, is as follows: “#detox #lastzulu #hideyodrummachines #beatsnrhymes.”
It is unclear if the #detox hashtag reveals any potential work on the often-discussed and delayed Dr. Dre album.
In October 2012, Kendrick Lamar said Detox was delayed due to work on his album, good kid, m.A.A.d city.
“Detox got pushed ot the back just because my album,” Kendrick Lamar said at the time. “Dre really found interest in my music. Wanted me to go forward and push that immediately. That’s a great thing. I’ve heard the records on Detox. They’re insane, and the opportunity to be on that is a privilege and an honor.”
In March 2014, Dr. Dre’s former N.W.A colleague DJ Yella spoke about Detox when detailing his relationship with Dre.
“When I was in the studio [with Dre], he was workin’ on a new Eminem song [from MMLP2],” Yella said at the time. “I heard something for Detox, but that was three years ago. They were great tracks, but you know, I don’t know if he really wants to put it out or…he’s such a perfectionist that if it ain’t perfect, it ain’t gonna be out. So I don’t know, and he doesn’t have to put it out. There’s no need to.”
In a separate 2014 interview, Yella said he wouldn’t release Detox if he was Dr. Dre.
“He let me hear songs from the album,” Yella said. “It’s a great album. From the ones I heard, but you know, he’s such a perfectionist, so it’s hard—I mean, to me he don’t have to come out with it. I wouldn’t. But if he want to it’s gon’ be perfect.”

#DETOX #2014
#Detox #NeverComingOut#QTipIsFuckingWithYou#DreDoesntCareAboutMusicAnymore
Damn, Dre is to damn skinny! he looks sick.
#whogivesafuck
Obviously not you so run that little mouth elsewhere, jackass.
Just drop detox!!!!Dr.Dre
I’m so tired of all these Detox references. He’s has over 10 fckn years to drop this album. I don’t wanna hear anything about this album anymore, nothing excites me and it probably doesn’t excite anybody
Dre is stealing beats from Q-Tip, just like he does everybody else. Dre hasn’t written a rhyme or produced a beat in a least 15 years. Fucking overrated faggot.
#BGS2014 #Eminemisthewhitedevil
I dont even care about this album anymore. The few beats I heard outta Dre here n there aint shit compared to that old chronic 2001 album. Musically he sounds uninspired n lazy.
WHO.GIVES.A.FUCK!
Fuck DETOX. Im convinced Dre decided long ago not to release it and to just do shit like this until we all stop giving a fuck about it and stop asking for it.
Back in 05 or sumthin like dat game and dre said “Look out fo’ Detox”. almost 10 years and we still waitin.
I remember Dre giving interviews back in 2002 and he was already saying “Detox is coming” lol
LOL @ ^
HAHA LMAO, this shit too funny, why he such a fuckboy with his music! shit! imma fan but fuck this dude!!!
There’s niggas that went from kindergarten to senior waiting on detox. Now their kids are waiting for detox.
Nobody’s waiting on detox
Yeah, only about 10 million people.
well you jus a cornyass nigga dat don’t like dope azz rap shit.
@OP
Ignore the two white boys above me. You actually spoke the truth, Dre’s time is up, he’s been spoiled by the financially stable place he’s at right now, Detox is irrelevant and doesn’t generate enough interest from the general public
^LOL, sounds just like Fif.
…. no.
I’m not falling for the oke doke.
fuck nah
People were fienin for it bad, now they over the cravings.
That could have been you, Rakim.
Lol I know right? the God took an L for that one
It’s obvious that Dre takes steroids because he gots a little skinny neck and big arms an chest lol
How do that mean he’s on steroids??? Fuckin idiot. Btw Dre got big shoulders and neck.
I crush niggaz
This isn’t news, we all know at this point that it’ll never see the light of day…
Dre has too much to lose if it were to come out & it didn’t mean EVERYTHING to Hip-Hop… And Dre’s smart enough to know that…
Please, let’s move on…
Check your sexuality, as fruity as this Alize.
Q-Tip looks like a genuine fuck boy.

Dr. Dre look sickly
fo real bring back fat dre
lol@fat dre…smh
Is dre really giving a fuck bout detox with that headphone money coming in hes made more money off them bitches in 2 years than he made in 20 years of music.
Whatever he releases its never gon live up to expectations so I doubt he even wants to risk tarnishing his legacy he’s sold, given away, been robbed or leaked enough music since his last album came out that he could be on detox 3 by now its just built up to where there’s so much pressure to make another classic he just gon say fuck that and leave it in the vault till hes dead.
Unless he comes out with a 3 disc album with all the legends hes worked with over the years and don’t have any these new wack ass artists that’s hot at the minute on there I’m gone be one the haters goin at him for fucking up just like the rest of ya’ll
That part about releasing a 3 disc is exactly what I was thinking. What if……he was doing all these tracks over a time period only to release them after 2 decades? Only HITS, in his mind obviously…perfectionist mind that is. He knows how the times are right now, so if he were to release something it would ONLY matter how many units it moved, who helped produced, who featured, who didn’t feature, etc, etc. Music now is all about that…people have forgotten how to just fucking enjoy a track.
DRE LOST HIS WEIGHT, REPLACED IT WITH MUSCLES, THEN LOST HIS MUSCLES TO GET REAL LEAN… GUES HE DID NOT LIKE THE HULK LOOK?
IF YOU ASK ME, HE LOOK LIKE BIG BOI FROM LOS ANGELES, CALI RADIO STATION POWER 106 HAHAHAHA SMH ALL BAD
Nobody asked you and not funny
his boyfriend didnt like getting his dick torn off between dres asschecks every time dre asked him to fuck him in the ass. im glad cuz it was making it hard for me to masturbate to this idea.
“HE LOOK LIKE BIG BOI FROM LOS ANGELES”
#DEAD
So now Q Tip is ghostproducing Dre’s beat. This nigga Dre is so lazy. Other Dre ghostproduers:
– sam sneed
– mel man
– warren g
– daz
– the glove
– scott storch
– above the law
and the list goes on
30 years in the game, fuck you, lame!
Dude has no idea what a producer does, a producer does not just lay down drum beats and leave (that’s a beat maker) he /she also directs the direction of a song, arranges a song, hires musicians to play parts, instructs artist on vocal parts, oversees the engineering of the mix and brings together all parts of the composition. You are confused when you say Dre get’s ghost producers, he does not. He hires musicians.
No, he hires ghost producers.
No, he hires musicians.
No, he hires ghost producers!
No, musicians.
No, producers.
Dre probably have 580 tracks in the stash for Detox. Trust me, he wont ever drop this LP
575 of them are probably trash.
fuck off dre, stop craving attention. We know you’re never satisfied so this is never dropping. Fool move 100 times, shame on me. Go sell your fucking shitty headphones.
Dre lost his touch bout 5 years ago. Dre’s last good year was 2009.
R.I.P. Tina Turner.
Does this nigga wear the same jacket everytime he’s with Dr. Dre?
Haters do not hate congradulate!!!!!
Nah working 24/7 on a movie, Apple, Beats Music, In the studio and building a serious studio can do that to you. He’s alright. Just needs to rest a minute.
