Dr. Dre sent shockwaves through the Hip Hop community earlier this week, revealing that he wants to take a break from music after decades on the grind. Speaking with MTV’s RapFix Live, his protégé Slim the Mobster said that he deserves a break from making music after everything he’s contributed to the culture.
“After 27 years and for the past time that I’ve been around, I know for a fact that he hasn’t been out the studio long,” he said. “So let him have a break. He gave us Eminem and 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg, The Game – he gave us a lot of things in his time. There are some rappers who ain’t give us nothing. So let the man have fun now.”
He also spoke on hearing songs intended for Detox. Slim said that while he didn’t hear a Lil Wayne cut for the elusive album, he listened to one track featuring Drake and another featuring Jay-Z. He wasn’t confirming the features, only because Dre tends to be picky when it comes to settling on a final tracklist.
“I don’t know, he picky. He doesn’t care about that name stuff. It’s got to be appeasing to him and what he likes,” he said. “And the thing too is people tend to forget that he is not a rapper. A lot of people forget that. He is a producer. That is where his craft is – he’s a producer, he makes the music. That’s why Eminem albums sound the way they do. People tend to forget that.”

I agree with that. He’s given us a lot of music and he is a producer first and foremost. People need to let him work, give it a rest, and let the man rest. Only then will Detox come out.
LOOOOOOOL
So will Detox come out after this break?
detox is a myth
no lil wayne on detox
detox aint dropping
and neither is your album slim da mobster

half the people moaning like bitches are probably younger than his kids
dude is 46
and i bet none of you have a dr dre album in your cd collection
it will come and all you will do is moan and say its wack
internet bloggers have fucked up hip hop along with officer ricky lil gremlin drake etc etc
100%% these bitches dont know what a cd looks like
WAIT DID YOU SAY DRAKE, DRAKE IS MY NIGGA. HES THE BEST RAPPER BESIDES WEEZY. I BREATH CASH MOMNEY/YOUNG MONEY. NO WE GOT BUSTA AND MYSTIKAL, WE UNSTOPPABLE. JUST LY MY UNDYING BUTT SERVITUDE TO TO WEEZY.
every time i see a news feed or post that gets me excited about this release, the next story makes me not even wanna hear it. I don’t care if he has the greatest records in the vault with wayne and drake, I don’t wanna hear them on detox, I don’t even wanna hear Jay’s voice on the record. Let him ghostwrite a verse or two instead.
Drake? WACK RAPPER!

i knew it would be in 2012
perfect year for detox
then d12s new one and hopefully marshall will put out a new solo album by 2014

Yall crazy if yall dont think Eminem is working on a new album RIGHT NOW!!!
I expect a new album by summer 2012
U know d12 are gone
they released 2 Mixtapes and eminem wasn’t on any of dem
This is code for Detox is not ever coming out, it will never be able to deliver on a decade of hype surrounding it and he knows it.
Its all BULLSHIT, Dre is LAZY. When he was on Death Row he would take years to do a single song. 2pac finally called him out on it, and then he left Death Row. I love Dre, huge fan! But the way he has been dragging us all along with Detox is bullshit. Get your lazy ass in the fucking studio and make some fucking music! And in return you make millions of dollars.
oh eminem’s albums sound shitty because of him? get outta there dre!
Drake feature? Ahahaha. Oh i finally get the concept now. Dre is quitting real hip hop and detoxing by making an R&B music.
Yeah, I can’t wait to hear Dre sing love songs.
Dre: yo slim, I’m dropping u from my aftermath label
Slim: huh? But why my lord, I Luv you
Dre: didn’t I tell thee thou shalt not reveal any secrets regarding Detox? Now everybody knows about Drake feature and its going to take me another 10 years to finish detox.
Slim: please my majesty please don’t drop me (slim starts crying) I evengot an Aftermath tattoo for Christ sake
Dre: my son, I’m going to tell u the same thing I did to King Tee, Rakim, Raekwon, hittman, EVE, busts rhymes, Bishop Lamont…(Dre goes on naming rappers for another 2 hours)
Get the hell out of my studio and get over it!
Slim: please Dre, please I’m sorry
Dre: I don’t have time for this, if u don’t mind, I gotta go change the name of my label to Eminem records, because he’s the only one coming out “All I need is just Slim” shady that is.
Muhahahaha
LMFAO
lmao
lmao some of these comments make my day someone please put up more comments like these there preety fuckin funny to read lol and im high
“lol and am high” get the fuck outta here you junkie.. but yo that was a great story, Dre need to see more of this stuff.
