    Fuck off. He says this same shit every year. “In a year or so”. Next year he’ll be saying the same…

    I’m done with Dre

  2. Mike Dreams says:

    FREAKING FAIL.

    Next year as in 2011? #CmonSon.

    He might as well just scrap this whole idea and move #OnToTheNextOne.

    This has been like the most anticipated album that’s coming out Neveruary 32nd, along with Kanye’s Pastelle clothing line and another Fugees album.

  3. NEGRO PLEASE says:

  8. Busby says:

    this lazy ass negro…i just give up…

  9. Harlem1980 says:

    I’m tellin ya’ll this album is officially a unicorn…Talked about heavy, but never seen. But how about just about every artist says they’ve done something with Dre for the Detox. Either they are doing songs and Dre is scrappin em cause he’s not feelin em anymore, or this album is gonna be 4 disks long

  10. Mateo says:

    I’m done with hearing about Dre & his bullshit…He’s about to be 50. What the fuck is he waiting for? Just throw it in the trash.

  11. Jesus it’s not even like he says in a year he added or so…… Goddamn come on doc seriously?

  12. ANT619HONY says:

  14. p. dom says:

    man, at this point, i don’t give a fuck anymore. i get that dre is a perfectionist, but this is that bullshit right here. i guess it’s more money in selling those headphones than completing his album.

  15. Upset says:

    @thedigitalhitlist Chronic 2001 was released in ’99. Been over 10 years now! I’m done Dre!

  16. Dashing says:

    @JayFingers.

    I know it’s a joke but you’re definitely right on about half of those happening before Detox.

  17. true stories says:

    HIP HOP IS DEAD!

    FAGGOTS, MASONS AND JEWS ARE hRAPS BIGGEST NAMES TODAY

    LIL WAYNE JAY Z DRAKE…

    NO REAL NIGGAZ LEFT

  18. Cunning Link Quest says:

    fuck it.

  19. Young Sha says:

    Fuck Dre man.

    I thought the wait was nearly over.

  20. Jamie says:

    everyone moaning about dre aint dropping his shit.
    but dre is working with other people remember.
    like what would you rather.. detrox or relapse?
    RELAPSE ALL THE WAY BITCH

    but im loooking forward to the detrox.
    i guess. 2011 is the year… hopefully

  21. leosash says:

    Gotta keep pushin’ the dates back, because by the time he finished one track, the industry has moved on. When it comes out I’ll listen, but it ain’t no big deal.

  22. HIP-HOP IS DEAD says:

    HIP-HOP IS DEAD AND THE NIGGAS THAT KILLED PAC AND BIGGIE KILLED IT.

  23. Zach says:

    Fuckouttahere Dre. If it does drop i’m downloading it just because.

  24. My Nig Hussle says:

    might as well push it back to 12/15/ 2012 make it 20 years after the first one

  25. Toya says:

    Is anyone really shocked with that response? That’s been his response since Chronic 2001.

  26. JayJay says:

    @DJ Pain….you shoulda BEEN done with Dre….take everybody rap album that’s out now and combine them put them over all the beats that were on 2001 and that’s Detox ladies and gents…PEACE!!

  27. yaboitone says:

    IM GOING TO START THIS ARGUMENT EARLY:

    The album will end up being “just ok” but because of ALLLLLLLLL the anticipation people will treat it like the holy grail and claim it to be much better than it actually is.

  28. ayoooo says:

    No doubt that Dre is the biggest innovator in hip-hop, production wise. However, an album can only be so good. It doesn’t take that long to make an album. Like, he want’s it perfect, but there’s only a certain limit to go above any beyond…. This record ain’t coming out.

    Dre is always in the studio because that’s his passion. This nigga will be in the studio when he’s 80 years old. That’s his life. He doesn’t care about Detox as much as the people do. Lack of motivation and you get wack shit. High standered artists won’t put out wack shit. So he’s jamming out every day.

  29. Theloneus says:

    LMFAO Co-sign Zach!

  30. cory says:

    I’m done. waiting for detox #weoffthat

  31. Jimmy says:

    Seriously man I know this site has something to do with Paul Rosenberg. Man please tell Dre to get fucked. Now I can see why 2Pac dissed the fuck out of him saying he never got anything done, stop talking about Pac like he actually liked you dude. 10+ years of bullshitting your own fans, I remember when this was gonna be a “hip hop musical” telling the story of a hitman or something, I heard he was getting piano lessons or some shit and doing some crazy classical shit, I heard so many artists say they worked on this, and we get nothing. And dude fucking complains when people leak shit? Dude had fucking Rakim, Busta, Bishop, Joell fucking list goes on and he couldn’t even release anything. All we got is 3 wack ass 50 Cent albums and a million broken promises. Now you want me to spend a shit load of money on your shitty as corny headphones with nothing to listen to on them? Get the fuck out, there’s better headphones out there for less money, talking about how you wish you’d had them when you were younger? Shut the fuck up man. Dre you suck, Pac was right, I’m fucking glad Just Blaze is producing most of Relapse 2, I hope Dre ain’t even on there now. Aint even gonna listen to 2001 anymore, and he fucking sucks on the recent Eminem tracks he’s on, fucking ruins them. Stop lying to people Dre and just go live in a fucking retirement home and tell your stories there. Fuck a Dr. Dre!

  32. Da Business says:

    ^^^^
    damn Jimmy, tell ‘em y u mad. lol.

    I hear u tho, Dre this is comin’ from a fan…STOP w/ the BULLSHIT!!!!

    Like most of u said, this shit has gone on 4 too long. It’s been 11 yrs…c’mon son!!!

  33. t-dub says:

    we will probably die before we can even hear the shit

  34. Wamp Wamp says:

    i haven’t been surprised by a Dre beat since a lonnnnng time so i’m not surprise when everytime he says i’m not ready. He says i’m working on other project blablabla but the beats he put on BISD and relapse were average..
    I think Dre doesn’t want to put out “Detox” if it’s not better or equal to “Chronic 2001″ so there are not to many chances that it will come out soon or maybe never

  35. Wanker Man says:

    LMMFAO @ Jimmy! That ish was the funniest post I’ve read so far on this site!

  36. Gay-Z says:

    FUCK DR DRE… NOBODY BELIEVE YOUR BULLSHIT ANYMORE THIS SHIT AINT COMING OUT IN 2021 NEVER MIND 2011. FUCK DRE BITCHES

  37. Drucifer says:

    Eventually, Dre is gonna have to drop it, or else your gonne hear about him paying Interscope alot of money………..Thats what stat quo said in an interview last year anyway…..

    Legends dont move for anybody but themselves………I’m pissed to, but If a “Detox” cd hits shelves in 2012, I’ll still be the first one to cop it……..Cause no matter how long it takes, when it does hit I know it will be crazy

  38. Interscope Employee says:

    FUCK THAT!!! I know im part of the Interscope team, but shit had me pissed (I aint said shit tho lol) when the VP told us at the meeting Detox aint coming out this year

    They said RELAPSE 2 is a priority for the label, to make sure Eminem keeps Interscope alive in the Hip Hop Department (since 50 had some trouble and shit with BISD)

    Anyway, fuck Detox. It’ll never come out lol

  39. Interscope Employee says:

    @ Jimmy ; LMAOOOOOOOO!!!! shit had me rolling and shit hahaha FUNNY

  40. bLUEPRINTs says:

  46. HATERZGETFUCKED says:

    All you haters need to fuck off. You are dissing the godfather of rap. Show some fucking respect because if it wasnt for Dre we wouldnt have rap music. The man has single handidly done more for rap than anyone in the industry. If it wasnt for Dre we wouldnt have had NWA, no Ice Cube, No Snoop, No Eminem, should i go on. I mean really the man is the greatest and everyone wants to work with him. Dre is more interested in helping the up and comers make it and working with them. He has proven himself what have all of you done for the rap industry. Not a GODDAMN THING. So all of you need to just eat a dick and shut up.

  47. Haven says:

    @haterzgetfucked. I agree with u I think everybody is caught in the emothions and tired of being turned down again on waiting for the album , yea if no Dre No Eminem wouldn’t have those sick and catchy beats or snoop dogg to and cube helped 50 PAC nwa and etc

  48. How is dre helping the up and comers? Yeah he helped establish artists 10 years ago like eminem and snoop and more but ever since then he has literally stopped putting out anyone new. And we’ve been waiting for this forever

    All I have to say is i cannot wait for relapse 2 it shld be nuts. But it Better drop this year

  49. D-Lon says:

    Fuck this Bullshit Dr. Dre… you dont wanna release that fuckin album just say it nikka.. instead of leaving nikkaz believin in ur OLD ASS… FUCK THIS SHIT… i wont cop that album no more… even if its released tomorrow
