According to Kendrick Lamar, his involvement in the upcoming Dr. Dre album, Detox, is a reward for being willing to go against the grain. The increasingly popular Compton emcee described himself as “a good kid in a bad city,” and during a recent interview with ThisIs50, Kendrick gave his take on why he and Dre worked so well together.
“He don’t like to get what’s hot, the cliché or what’s poppin’ now” Lamar added. “His thing is, every album you wanna bring somebody new and fresh into the game. He likes to see people from nothing make it to the top and be heard. Fortunately, I was one of the people blessed to be on that tape.”
Due to the multiple delays of Detox, much of the information about the album has changed. But with the two singles “Kush” and “I Need A Doctor” on the charts now, it appears as if the album will finally see the light of day, and Kendrick Lamar will be a part of it.
“I’ve been in the lab with him for the past two months, and it’s just another level of perfection,” Lamar explained. “I thought at one point I knew exactly what I wanted to do and how I wanted to sound. But when you go in the studio with Dre, a legend—a genius—it puts you back on humble ground. Being the fact that Dre is from Compton, and me listening to him riding down Rosecrans. My pops and my uncles were putting me up on him, and now me being in the studio with him…showing me his craft and how he got to the point he’s at today fucks me up in the head.”
Ehhh, not 100% sold on this dude yet.
you will be once his joint project with j. cole comes out (thats if your sold on j. cole at all), the black hippy project comes and his official debut lp comes out (mostly independent) then im sure you’ll like him more by then, especially unlike alot of dudes who are signed to majors or whatever….kendrick and his team at tde consistency put in work to make this happen and put out new material throughout every year

They both SUCK major donkey ass…..If this is whats on detox then DETOX might as well be shelved cause they are both WACK songs.
Dre step you production UP!!! You belon on XXL’s milk cartoon… youre WACK SON !
I honestly think people have forgotten what real lyricism is because everyone seems to have J.Cole’s nuts in there mouth, he’s ok but he’s not great as the stans make him out to be. I’d put Lupe over J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar anyday. Ya’ll don’t know shit about real talent, you fucking dickriders you just follow what’s popular….Fuck Off!
truth is, your following whats popular, Lupe sold his soul, idc what he says. THAT IS UNORIGINAL.
funny the album name is Detox, refering a stop substance abuse, but the fucking single is called “Kush” which is marijuana, a drug. WTF DRE U FELL OFF LONG AGO, leave kendrick to make his own shit!!! GODDAMN!!
