After years of being tightlipped about his highly anticipated Detox album, Dr. Dre recently spoke about his long awaited opus on Big Boy's Power 106 radio show in Los Angeles.

During a call in to the station to celebrate his birthday (February 18), the legendary producer confirmed that Detox will be dropping this year.

"I'm trying to get everybody that I've ever worked with over the years to appear on the records," explained Dre. "There are gonna be some new guys that I'm working with, Bishop Lamont and Slim the Mobster [Watch Video], those two guys I think are incredible, new artists out of the west coast that I'm trying to get out there"

"Trust me, this will be worth the wait, I'm trying to make this the one they remember me for. It's a lot of pressure but I'm feeling good about it. I feel like I'm my worst critic and if I'm loving it, everyone else will," he continued. " I'm tryna put 12, 13 songs on the album. I'm not totally sure about the month but it will be definitely be out this year."

As SOHH previously reported, Dre recently signed a multiyear deal with New Line Cinema for his newly formed film company, Crucial Films. The Compton bred beat maker plans to produce and score dark comedies before moving into other movie genres.

I don't want "dope".

I want to be transported to another dimension in time and Hip-Hop space, in a euphoric state of mind,totally shattering the way I listen to music.

7 years should give me that. I want a "Thriller" Out of Dre.

if you play the cd, expecting a masterpiece, you might just get let down... but go into it not expecting much... have an honest, open ear... and I bet Detox will blow your socks off.

Thats a good idea. Keep expectations low.

This man speaks the truth.

Besides, Ari, you will never be able to fully grasp this thing... it's a "West Coast" thing.

I don't think "WC" gives it some kind of sublime meaning. Nor does it give it an excuse to be subpar. We all know it'll be heralded a classic regardless due to the WC alone, but for 7 years excuse me for wanting some earth shattering content, especially since he only plans on having 12 to 13 songs on it!

so since its called detox did dre quit smoking?

[eamon]

Iespecially since he only plans on having 12 to 13 songs on it!

I think that's how long albums should be...20 something track albums are not hot... I'd rather have an album with 10-15 songs of dope shit than 20 tracks of unfocused, no cohesion having noise. The art of the "album" is long gone and needs to be brought back.

[WhALE]

Pfft. This album better be the greatest thing Dre ever made. No weakness, pitfalls, nothing. I'm talking Perfection.

If not, fuck outta here, Dre. :mad:

I'd have to agree.


It's gonna be meh. if Fiddy's on it, fuck that. if Em's on it, he better come extra raw.

we'll see.

I imagine this is what a girl would feel like when a dood brags about how good he is in bed. the dood better show and proove. (no homo on that, ya bitche's)

[Dr. Kris Knacker]

i stopped holding my breath after the rakim thing fell through!

Well said man.....as for Detox, I've been anticipating this for a long minute, and my expectations will remain high. So what if it took 7 years, like dude said that's time for mastery, I can almost guarantee he stepped it up lyrically(was already on point), but will be better. Which of Dre's albums were ever a letdown?? I just can't see this release being whack, it'll be a WEST COAST banger!

what's funny is that i read that dre has been straight edge on marijuana all his life.

yup. i always wondered why he said that and then went on to create two albums with the word "chronic" in the title. and then i read him saying something to the effect that his music represents the highest grade music such as chronic would be for marijuana.

[Holleration Station]

^^thats interesting

yeah he said that shit practically 20 years ago... he's prolly gone on and off the weed wagon a gang of times since then.

With a considerable number of books on the market illustrating the biography of famed producer Dr. Dre, a new book sets out to focus on Dr. Dre’s life and times in the studio.

Dr. Dre: In The Studio by author Jake Brown will focus on Dr. Dre’s various undertakings in the studio and the writing and production techniques used to create such classic albums as Straight Outta Compton and The Chronic.

Already the author of several Hip-Hop biography’s, Brown, will have his latest work Dr. Dre: In The Studio published later this month by Colossus Books, a subsidiary of Amber Communications Group, Inc.

Dr. Dre: In The Studio will chronicle the life of Dr. Dre and will include everything from his first experiences with music as a curious three year-old to his humble beginnings as a young deejay to his life as one Hip-Hop’s top producers.

Readers will also get an in-depth look at Dr. Dre’s relationships with The World Class Wrecking Crew, N.W.A., Suge Knight, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and others.

Brown's previous books include 50 Cent: No Holds Barred, Suge Knight - The Rise, Fall and Rise of Death Row Records, and Ready to Die: The Story of Biggie Smalls - Notorious BIG.

Dr. Dre: In The Studio will makes its world-wide debut at BookExpo America, the largest annual book trade fair in the country which will take place in New York at the Jacob Javits Convention Center from May 31 to June 3.

In related news, Dr. Dre recently revealed details on highly anticipated album Detox on Los Angeles radio station Power 106.

"I'm trying to get everybody that I've ever worked with over the years to appear on the record," Dre said. "Trust me, this will be worth the wait--I'm trying to make this the one they remember me for."

Detox will feature guest appearances by established artists like Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, as well new artists Bishop Lamont and Slim the Mobster.

Jay Z did it too......people swear cats are gon think the same their whole life....have yall though the same? no,.....artists paint diff portraits different days....if someone has the same views their whole career and doesnt grow or acknowledge certain things, then thats more phony to me.....

"you might have to detox, it can help you w/your rhyme flow and your beatbox"-DOOM
