Dr. Dre has been working on an album for years now, and many are hoping it’s the nearly mythical Detox project. After suffering a brain aneurysm in January amid his divorce from Nicole Young, the hardworking producer got right back to the studio.
Over the last several months, multiple Hip Hop legends have visited Dr. Dre’s musical compound and raved about what they heard — from Grandmaster Flash to Diamond D.
Now, another notable name has been added to the list — Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav. Speaking to the Wild Ride! with Steve-O podcast, the colorful hype man and multi-instrumentalist revealed he’d just been at Dr. Dre’s house and the highly anticipated album is imminent.
“I was just at Dr. Dre’s house a week and a half ago,” Flav says. “One of the best people in the world, man. Not only that, but I’m honored for him to have me record something at his house for his upcoming album that’s getting ready to come out. That’s big to me, man. C’mon. Flavor Flav on a Dr. Dre album? Man. Word. That’s big to me, bro.”
On August 1, Grandmaster Flash shared a photo of himself with Dr. Dre to the official Furious 5 Instagram account and revealed Dre played him the project.
“GRANDMASTER FLASH & DR. DRE,” he wrote in the caption. “Here in LA doing the Disco Oasis with Nile Rogers tonite, I get a call from one of my heroes he invites me to the CRIB.
“He takes me down to the STUDIO he played me a project that will change the game!! Totally incredible, we top off the day for 2hrs talkin’ about Music, Family Health and Life thanks for the Invite Dr Dre.”
Less than two weeks later, Diggin’ In The Crates OG Diamond D shared an Instagram photo of himself with Dr. Dre in the studio, indicating he’d just heard some previously unreleased material, as well. He also tagged longtime Dre collaborator Xzibit and producer Focus…
“@drdre played about 2hrs of straight unreleased heat rocks for me and @xzibit today,” he wrote in the caption. “#ondeck shouts out to @focus3dots.”
In February, a snippet of new music from Dr. Dre leaked online, although it’s unsure where it will live or if it will even be released.
Dr. Dre Plays More Mythical Music For Another Hip Hop Legend
During an Instagram Live session, longtime Aftermath Entertainment affiliate DJ Silk played a roughly two-minute segment of the unmastered track featuring KXNG Crooked. Dre touched on his pending divorce from Nicole Young and made a reference to his time at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center.
“(Bitch) Trying to kill me with them lies and that perjury, I see you trying to fuck me while I’m in surgery,” he rapped. “In ICU, death bed, on some money shit/Greedy bitch, take a pick, girl you know how money get … You know we don’t tolerate that nonsense, by any means get your hand up out my pocket/This life is private just like the pilot, it’s been decided, this the Poseidon.”
The hook revolved around a melodic “Fuck that shit” then Crooked comes in with, “Tin man shit, your music lack heart/Thought it was voodoo, we making magic with this black art.” Unsurprisingly, it was quickly scrubbed from the internet.
I think dre gon kill us with this one
Bruh. You are one of the peeps that I check out in the comments section. But this just blew my mind. Really? The only thing Dre is going to kill is another decade of no release. Spending money having celebs roll thru to “hear” an album he’s scared of releasing. It’s Drake/Kanye/ time. Go back to the lab and repeat with the misdiagnosis, “Dr.” foh
We all know who starts their posts with Bruh. Hint. A Drake fan. LOL. Sometimes goes by “Antonio.” Not a biological man. Married to a cuck. Ugly kid.
Noah who? Dre is an actual legend. Noah (whoever that is) contributed to the decline and eventual death of hiphop if he came out in the last 10-15 years. I can’t really blame you though, your generation gets each and every last thing wrong.
Wait nixxaz actually check for each other on these comments?? LOL
In another decade? Dre is done. Scared af bc he can’t hold his weight with Noah James Shebib and those running this rap beat game. It’s Drizzy season as always. Oooh, let me pay another celeb to hype my non existent album. Foh
Well, the cornball Canadian is always easy to spot. LOL. Name a hot track shitbib has made for an actual MC. We’ll wait. Crickets. Keep your teeny bop, Bieber Canadian ass birth of the border. This is Hip-Hop. Born in the Bronx, revolutionized in the west cost and down south, imitated in Canada and the EU.
Everybody CAPPIN
MAYBE A DEFAMATION LAWSUIT COMING HIS WAY.
Y’all really out here thinking this album going to be great. The moment he put any retarded rapper on his album it’s over. Plus most of the old rappers don’t have what it takes to bring their stuff back up and this new generation
Hilarious to see al of the hate thrown at Dre. Diamond D. Grandmaster Flash, Flavor Flave have all heard amazing new music from Dre that’s supposed to come out. I remember when everyone though he was done after the first Chronic. Before he put out Em. 50. 2001. Kendrick. Your mom is washed up bitches. Dre can change the game whenever he wants. Easily. Did you forget about the N.W.A. albums? Eazy E’s first? Supersonic by JJ Fad? Drake, Ye and prettt much anyone else will never have the impact Dre did. Beats headphones? Snoop Dogg? Co Founder of Death Row? Shiiiiit.
300 dolla headphones that cose 25 dolla to make n dont even have an sdcard slot lol, ill give ya everything else but those headphones are trash like most app le products planned obscolence crippled cr ap
I guess whatever raggedy ass phone your texting on doesn’t have spell check.
@Osiris- *you’re* not *your.*
Well release it then stop teasing and start pleasing gatdammit
Clickbait
If its that stop and go flow, gitchya ya ya, migos, lil durk crap…I’ll pass.
If its actual hiphop, I’m game.
Dre will not release an album out until his divorce is finalized. He’s no dummy. We better get a song with Andre 3k
The title implies that Dre is coming out….pun intended?
Now this is real music and concepts. Can’t wait.
I bet it is only a 3 to 5 track EP no full 13 to 17 track album
