Do you give a shit about Dre's Detox?

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Sun May 22, 2011 9:51 am

Maybe if this was 2004 your answer would be different than it is today, but it's 2011 bitches. Every piece of news that leaks further proves that the wait was never "worth it." Every track that leaks further proves the chemistry is gone. I wanted something like 2001, but most of those rappers are retired, DEAD or way past their prime. Nobody gives a fuck about a T.I. and Em collabo anymore.

This is the latest piece of news, yay!

Swizz Beatz Says Dr. Dre's Detox Will Be 'Worth The Wait'
'Everybody just gotta chill out and let that man do his thing,' Swizz tells MTV News.

Good things come to those who wait. So while rap fans continue to clamor over Dr. Dre's long-awaited but hopefully forthcoming Detox, producer Swizz Beatz says to "chill out."

The "On to the Next One" producer told MTV News that he has been in the lab with Dre and together the pair has created about four songs. As of now, Swizz isn't sure which, if any, of their co-creations will end up on Detox, but he has secured one record called "VIP Chillin' " for his upcoming Haute Living LP.

"It's just been a great experience for me, whether they go on the album, whether they don't go on the album," Swizz said of his time spent in the studio with Dre and the songs they've recorded. " 'V.I.P. Chillin',' I took that one for myself, but I would gladly give it back to him anytime he wants it back."

Swizzy is particularly fond of Dre's performance on the aforementioned song. "He's energetic. He's vibing in a way that you've never heard him before," he said. "So even if he don't put that one particular track out, I'm blessed to have the blessing from him to have it for my album."

He does have his favorite, but Beatz says that he is confident with any of his and Dre's songs surfacing. In addition to the work that they did together, Swizz, who has heard at least some of Detox, is supportive of the Doctor and the album's delay. "Dre has amazing songs and I think everything is worth the wait. He's a genius, he's a legend and it's just no getting around that," he said. "Everybody just gotta chill out and let that man do his thing. He's a master at what he does, hands down."

The Bronx, New York, producer has a message for fans that let their impatience grow into doubt of Dr. Dre's capabilities to produce another rap classic. "Don't ever count a master out. I'm never counting a person like Dre out."

At this point I'd probably check out a Swizz Beatz album before a Dre one.

I give a shit in the sense that I'm interested in hearing the album.

I can't even vote No because I'd be lying. Nice community college cheap shot

If it looked like he's was going to use the album to showcase new-ish artists like he's done with Snoop, Kurupt, Em etc then maybe but it looks like its going to be Dre roping in a load of big names to make sure he gets mainstream attention and a bit of cross-promotion of the artists involved.

So, in answer to the question 'No' but it will probably have one or two decent tracks worth getting.

If it ever shows up, I'll listen to it. Either way.

I was just trying to keep up with the reoccurring poll options in M2C. I have nothing against CC.

I held out faith until the songs were pure shit. Unless Chili Chil is all over the thing, I doubt I will even listen.

it's dre...i've listened to most (if not all) of the stuff he has put out publicly his whole career. there is no point in not wanting to listen now. i guess i'm just not waiting for it, and haven't been for the last 2 years.

I wanna hear it, but then again I am a 31 year old man that doesn't act like a school girl when it comes to rap music so I could care less when it comes out or any album for that matter

You're so sexy and dangerous.

My interest in it now is less for the music and more as a pop culture curiosity.

Of course, I say that now and I've still yet to hear Chinese Democracy.

The reference tracks that leaked last year (or before that maybe) were mostly pretty solid. Given that at least one of those beats ended up in a Dr. Pepper commercial I'm not sure they'll be on the album- but if they are there's some promise. (although I can't imagine they'll be better with Dre rapping instead of the guys on those tracks)

So once 'Detox' is released, what other opt-delayed "masterpieces" are there left.

We already have:

Chinese Democracy
Brian Wilson's 'Smile' (although I think it's great)

and to a lesser extent:

The Greatest Story Never Told

What else is left in limbo?

i voted yes but i didn't hear any of the singles so i'd probably change my vote if i did and they blew dick

If you mean irrespective of pop icon status or my own personal level of anticipation or lack thereof:

Rza "The Cure" would be high on the list in terms of the amount of elapsed time.

A wealth of Doom projects: Swift & Changeable, FM Mood, Madvillain 2

Despot's untitled debut album

Immortal Technique "The Middle Passage"

@ fucking DJ Khalil and Alex da Kid with these corny pre-fab, one-size-fits-all, insert-verse-here, featuring-Skylar-Grey abominations.

The Clipse, Eminem, Lupe and now Dre: Albums seriously marred or completely ruined by this trend. Nate Dogg is turning in his grave.

Is this the thread about those people who thought the rapture was going to take place yesterday? Oh no wait, its about those who still think Dre will bring out a new album.

Guess we will all see the second coming quicker than that Detox album after all..

if all of the singles that have been released so far don't end up being on the album- that would make it better for me I guess, but I voted no.
