i usually could care less about what 50 cent says, but ive been waiting for this album for 7 years. finally some news on it (not really) http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.7444/title.50-cent-talks-detox 50 Cent Talks Detox August 5th, 2008 | Author: Slava Kuperstein Perhaps a sign of things to come, more and more artists are speaking about their role in Dr. Dre's alleged upcoming album, Detox. Possibly the most anticipated album in Hip Hop history, the latest artist to speak on the long-awaited album, which is to be released in November or December [click to read], is none other than 50 Cent. "I recorded material with Dr. Dre for the Detox," said 50 to MTV News. "It's great. I want it back. I want the records back," joked Fif. 50 did indicate, however, that he wants leftover material Dre has. "He has the music. It's right there in the computer. I stop by [his studio] every time and get something that adds something significant to my project each time [I'm about to put a record out]. And I spend three or four days there. To me, he's the best producer in the game. "When I walk in the studio, I record the first [beat] that comes on regardless if I think it's a hit record or not," 50 continued. "We get in work mode, get comfortable and go through the material that's in the computer. Dre always has hit records. Sometimes, artists that need producers, they need someone to create a direction for them musically. I need the jewels he's just got laying around. He don't gotta tell me what to do with it. All he has to do is say, 'Track six.' Or, 'Go to track eight.' He'll have hits playing there. You just have to get in and get them." It's 50's guess - just as it is anyone else's - as to when Dre will finally deem the album ready for release. "Hopefully he'll get it done and put it out," he said. "I'm waiting for the Detox. All I can say is, Dr. Dre is the best producer in my eyes. Just the consistency over the years. ... He knows what he wants. He's such a perfectionist that it becomes difficult for him to put it out."
I hope this album lives up to the hype. It seems like the more time that goes by, the more it sets itself up to be a disappointment because of increasing expectations.
Rap is not close to my favorite form of music, but 2001 is one of my favorite albums ever. Dre is the best, I can't wait for Detox.
He should wait like 13 years to put it out, and then call it "Chinese DREmocracy!" Ha ha...okay, maybe not. Totally agree on the 2001 album. That was pretty much or cd of choice each night we went out while in college. Just a fantastic blend of beats, lyrics and collaborations.
"So give me one more platinum plaque and **** rap! You can have it back." -Forgot About Dre Well he got his platinum plaque, but he is coming back to rap...after almost 10 years. At least he's not like Jay Z who "retired" for 1 year and even took an award from MTV for best rapper to retire early.
He can be good in spurts. It's funny how it's cool to diss 50 now.. I'm not saying I want to defend him, but people forget how good Get Rich or Die Tryin was.
This. The weird thing is 50's mixtapes are much better than the retail releases. The 50 mixtape before the G-Unit CD came out was amazingly good. But most of the songs on there will never see the light of day.
