On the inserts to Dr. Dre’s last album, 1999’s 2001, the Compton, California music icon and then-production partner Mel-Man were photographed in a room filled with records, including titles scattered on the floor. During Dre’s recent VIBE cover-story conversation with Jerry L. Barrow, Aftermath Entertainment’s founder was asked about the status of his vinyl vaults.
“The record collection is gone now,” Dre answered, revealing that his collection was approximately 80,000. Claiming that he wasn’t using the records anymore, Dre prepared to part with the accumulated collection. “What I did was just went through and jotted down everything I was in love with so I could order it [later].”
In the Nodfactor.com outakes to the final published interview, Barrow asked Dre which records he kept. Three among the set aside records were Curtis Mayfield’s Super Fly soundtrack, Nirvana’s 1989 debut Bleach and Barry White’s Greatest Hits. Speaking about the Grunge record, Dre acknowledged, “That’s one of my favorite albums ever made. I still listen to that shit to work out.”
Dr. Dre’s third solo album, Detox, is planned for early 2011.
That Nirvana album was there best even though it was the one they put out before they blew up
When you’re getting lessons from geniuses like Burt Bacharach, you can easily say goodbye to records and look forward to making your own music.
100% cosign.
cobain was the most talented artist we’ve seen in the last 20 years. guy was a genius.
guess the lucky new owner still got plenty of other classic records
super fly is classic
Kill That White Motherfucka!! NIGGAZ Only you Fuckin’ Kaa’s!!
I was on Guns n Roses and Metallica back in the real Hip Hop days from BDK, Biz Markie, EPMD, Brand Nubians, and classic shit some of y’all just fuckin’ missed out on. Hip Hop brought me to all of that. If a sample had some guitar in it, I was rockin’ it. Then I started reading the inserts and coppin’ the originals. I heard Jimi Hendrix and that was history. I got a Master’s Degree in Music/Guitar just for fun. It’s the music that matters. Respect that shit!!!!
Detox in early 2011? yea righttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. . .
Dre already released the first single of offf detox. Haven’t you heard “Kush” yet?
When someone starts releasing singles the album is coming right away.
@ Bmizz
yeah like the games red album and his music videos too amright?
Game is having problems releasing his album because it sucks. He has released 3 singles off it already and all 3 tanked. So the label keeps pushing the album back. Plus he’s got some kind of lawsuit that’s interfering with the album’s release.
Dre can release Detox whenever he God Damn finishes it and from what we’ve been hearing, it’s pretty damn close to finished. Big difference between the 2 albums.
Kurt Cobain = the Eminem of Rock music.
LOL, pretty much, I remember seeing a video of Kurt makin fun of the Pearl Jam guy and saying Axl Rose was an old man, then asking him to be the godfather to his baby, dude was nuts

You desperate spamming fuck. My hand hurts for having to scroll past all your bullshit. I will purposely go out of my way to boycott your site so that absolutely NOBODY will visit it. Please kill yourself immediately
i guess you dont need records to sample when you have people that make beats for you and write all your rhymes, what does this ninja even do all day besides workout?
this guy coulda bought a house for his records to live in, that what i would do
all the same …….. after ” kush” I do not have no more desire on Detox!!!!!!!!!!!! I rather wait for Jay-z’ s and Kanye West album…
Your an idiot dude dr dre detox will be the best album next year.

Can’t wait for Detox!
Check my music at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TNiDjDuER4 , please!
BOSS status
yeah they don’t use records like that on saturn.
i swear he is setting himself up for failure its to the point no one thinks the cd will come out im and old dre fan but honestly i dont think this cd is going to be dope im gonna pep it though
he needs to hook back up with Mel-man, and get some shit crackin forreal, cuz most for the tracks he put out to hype up Detox where forgettable .
(side note) and Black Sabbath’s first two albums had some of the best music ever!
OHH HELL YEAH HE KEPT NIRVANA!!! HE NOWS WATS UP. BET HE LISTENS TO ROCK AND OLD SCHOOL MUSIC ONLY!! RAP SUCKS DICK ASK DRE…NIRVANA AND NWA ALL THE WAYYYYYY and fuck kiss and axl rose.
You’re just another cocksucker with a microdick. Rock sucks dick, and it’s hip hop forever byaaatch…
dfjkdf
I don’t give a damn how much of a genius you think Dre is, selling that collection is dumb as hell.
He don’t love making music anymore he said it himself.
Should have kept the collection for inspiration. Last 3 years it seems like he doesn’t have as much inspiration. Lotta average produced Dre tracks the last 3 years. Too much focused on bodybuilding(steroids) maybe.
u know he doesnt even make the beats anymore right?
he got african slaves in a warehouse doin it for him
kinda hard to have inspiration when album sales are tanking tho. granted dres gonna sell no matter what when detox drops. i dont agree with taking so long taking a grip to release a album.
Dre needs money and he said he plans to stop after Detox, look at Timbaland he’s getting ready for retirement, let the youngin’s have the go forth and do something else that will continue to pay for your expensive bills.
“dre needs money”
hahahhaha
BEATS by dr. dre
hp laptops by dr. dre
some shitty liquor by dr. dre
dr pepper by dr dre
how can someone who sells out so hard possibly “need money”
dre needs money like i need a third penis
dumbass timberland is being sued for all the records he stole from international countries
he needs money
but dre can live off aftermath
i mean the production he did for eminems recovery and relapse album gave him enough for his kids grandchildren
Nirvana’s cool, Nevermind was my favourite ish though. I love SuperFly as well.
If he made 7 dollars a records on average.
80,000 x 7 = 560,000!!!
what are you smoking, no one making 7 dollars off a record unless they making it and selling it themselves, no labels, no retail
He’s talking about if he were to sell these records to a second hand buyer for $7 dollars each, not albums in the store, lol
anonymus=cia web watch dog tryna stir up trouble and try to turn hip hop into the new al-qaeda do not respond to his rants.. when you click “reply” on his comments he transmits you with the new “E-anthrax”.. hes a CIA/Soviet Double agent POS and is working on Nuclaer Detonators with al-quada, The Black Hand, and many other terroist organizations. BEWARE
