As Dr. Dre’s oft-delayed Detox is reaching mythical status, the west coast veteran has recently been motivated to hit the studio and try and finish the LP. One of many surprise guests in both Detroit and New York, Dre was inspired by the crowds at the Jay-Z/Eminem.

“Being on the stage with Eminem and Jay-Z was one of the most incredible feelings I’ve felt in a long time. It inspired me, it made me want to hurry up and get back in the studio and put more effort and more work into my own project,” Dre told MTV2. “The response from the people out there was just incredible. It let me know that I still got love out there and I’m not wasting my time in the studio with what I’m doing, with the music or with all the Beats product that we’re putting out.”

The Doc also said recently a Beats By Dre event that he hoped to have to Detox out by Christmas time. As always, HipHopDX.com will keep you posted. Do you think Detox will drop in 2010? Let us know in the comments.
