Critically-acclaimed spitter/singer Devin The Dude spoke to HipHopDX earlier today (February 24th) and revealed his plans to resume his working relationship with legendary producer Dr. Dre.
“I’m going out there [to work with Dre] tomorrow, man!” he exclaimed. “[His people are] saying this thing, [that] it’ll be a nice little shindig and everything’ll come out pretty cool. But I’m pretty sure he got some heat [for me to jump on]. And I just…man…I just try to make sure I’m up to par and have my stuff together when I go out there anytime to deal with him and what they’re doing over there [at Aftermath Entertainment]. ‘Cause they do it big, and their music sounds like it too when you’re in there. From top to bottom, from when you’re working on it to when it comes out, it sounds like [makes an explosion sound]. It sounds so big.”
The comedic conceptual genius first worked with the famed west coast trackmaster a little over a decade ago for the classic Devin/Dre/Snoop Dogg collabo “Fuck You” from Dre’s last masterpiece, 2001.
“He [has] people that get in touch,” replied Devin when asked if Dre just called him up out of the blue. “But he’s real cool though. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be no problem with him just picking up and calling [personally], ‘cause he’s very down to earth. When we get around [each other] and start trying to put something together it’s real cool.”
While Devin being summoned to see the doctor seems to be an indication of progress being made on Dre’s long-awaited Detox album, Devin didn’t provide any indication to HipHopDX of where specifically his upcoming work with Dr. Dre will land.
Wherever their new collaborations find a home, Dre’s reaching out to Devin over eight years since the supreme storyteller and musical maestro last linked for the rubbery-bassline based “It’s A Shame” from Devin’s stellar sophomore solo effort, Just Tryin’ Ta Live, is surely a sign of good music from the two to soon make its way to the masses, as well as a clear tipping of the good doctor’s hat to Devin’s talent.
Concluded Devin of Dre’s gesture of respect towards him: “Aww man, I’m just blessed just to be a part [of what he’s doing].”
Stay tuned to HipHopDX for our forthcoming feature interview with Devin The Dude to learn what other legendary producer from Devin’s past he recently reunited with, (as well as what his current feelings are towards former label Rap-A-Lot Records), and to get some exclusive details on Devin’s upcoming new solo effort, (his first for E1 Entertainment), Suite 420.

Nice journalistic objectivity. Think Mr. Arnold might be a Devin the Dude fan?
You’re supposed to report the news, not kiss the artists’ dick.
Wow what the fuck are you smoking?! You sir, are a dumbass.
“Southern Slick Rick” is a mighty comparison, but if it’s anyone from that region, Devin really is the closest one to that level of skill. But I agree with Drago haha.

HORRAY!!!!! TWO OF MY FAVORITES!!!!!!! LOVE THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!
These 2 together always come with heat, every time they hook up…….
Its a shame Dre never got this dude on the math cause they have a really good chemistry, like what he has with Snoop and Em, his beats match devins flow perfect
i dont even think Devin would drop an album on Aftermath, when consider Dres track record
I like to talk about pussy like Devin the Dude!
Best news i’ve heard all day..
Yessir!!!
YIPPEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Cool, now I want see a post saying Dre is doing a new track with Xzibit. Plus I want to hear Devin and X both on Detox.
Dre knows he cant make Detox with no Kurupt and Snoop,this is the base of a Dr.Dre album.After that he need to have Eminem,Xzibit and Hittman.Devin & RBX better be on Detox too.As far as Game,50,they can have a shot to make the album but they better bring their A-game.I Want Dre to bring back Lady of Rage on this one!!!
Rage would be the bomb but I got a feeling that Dre will have other Ladies (Gaga) around as well…
DEVIN is THE DUDE to make some magic with the Good Doctor!!!!
420 is the medicine!!!!! DEVIN doin’ his INDIE THANG!
Declare YOUR Independence!
