Dr. Dre Addresses Detox Hold Up
Tuesday, August 03 2010 4:03 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand StanIn another excerpt from VIBE‘s Juice Issue, Dr. Dre explains the delay of Detox—again.
When you first announced Detox did you think it would take this long?
Absolutely not. I thought it would take at worst case a couple of years. For example, actual work time on The Chronic was nine months and actual work time on my last album, 2001, was about 10 months. The actual work time on this album is about half of that, where I’m seriously focusing on it. There is always something coming up. Like signing talent, old and new.So “Under Pressure” leaking was killer.
It was a little bit more frustrating because at least “Crack a Bottle” had a hook on it. I wouldn’t be as mad at a leak if the song was done.Can you blame the fans for wanting to hear something after all this time?
Absolutely not. I’m not mad at the fans. I’m mad at the person that leaked the shit. I have no idea how it got out. It’s not even worth looking to see who did it. It happens. The most painful part about it is that I’m passionate about what I do so people should hear it in the right form.There were some other reference tracks that leaked with T.I. and Ludacris lyrics. Were those legit?
Two of them were. Somebody actually hacked into our emails, so that made our red flags go up. We’re in a new age and that’s a sign: Wake up motherfucker. You have to be more careful with your shit. That’s all there is to it. I know what’s up now.You mentioned a hip-hop album without rapping. Will we ever hear a Dr. Dre instrumental album?
Oh yeah, that’s in the works. An instrumental album is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I have the ideas for it. I want to call it The Planets. I don’t even know if I should be saying this, but fuck it. [Laughs.] It’s just my interpretation of what each planet sounds like. I’m gonna go off on that. Just all instrumental. I’ve been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet. I’ve been doing this for about two years now just in my spare time so to speak. I wanna do it in surround sound.It’ll have to be in surround sound for Saturn to work.





Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.
“blah blah blah”
excuses
if he really wanted to. he would drop everything hes doing. disconnect from the outside world, and work on a motherfucking legendary album.
but…hed rather promote his gay ass beats by dre headphones, maybe because he is scared his album wont sell anymore.
its over.
dre needs to go and change the name of his album from ”detox” to ”unicorn” cause we’ll probably never ever see that shit!!
Андрей, ты заебал, никому твой Дитокс когда ты его выпустишь нахуй не нужен будет
whatever nigga
you can blame eminem for that smh
^^yeah what he said i co sign ROFL
i mean the russian not the other 2 dudes
Lies, all lies. Dre you are taking your sweet time. If anyone is excited about this project, they must also wait for all the candles to burn out on their birthday cake.
Signing new talent? Other than 50 and Em, what’s really come out of Aftermath in the last 10 years? Game’s 1st album? And what else? Busta? Am I missing anything?
Signing talent that never dropped. Eve, Rakim, Joelle Ortiz etc. STFU Dre.
So he’s basically saying he’s put in 5 months of actual work on this album which would mean at best he’s only half done. At his current pace we should hear that album some were around the year 2020.
he tryina get tha best mc’s like gucci onboard, that’s aight…do yr thing dre…
This doesn’t address anything about the album, dre should drop his first official single sooooon. That would defently mean the ablum is coming soon. And his beats by dre headphones are the shiznit, best sound i have ever heard from headphones, basically it’s like a home theater surround sound system in your ears.
Keep ya head up Dre. Fans
Hurry Up Dre Damn……Recovery and TML will only hold me over for so long…..oh wait….Currensy just dropped Pilot talk….nevermind…..
Even Though Dr. Dre’s Last Album Was In 2001, He Hasn’t Even Worked On (DETOX) For 10 Months!

Currency, Yellawolf, Joe Budden, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka Fuzzy Wuzzy Wuz A Bear, Action Jackson, JJ Fad, My Next Door Neighbor, Boyz II Men, You, Eve, Usher, Mr. Snuffleupagus, Iron Man, A Dude That Can Rap, the dude from the Old Spice commercial, 3-5-7, Bone Crusher, Big Meech, Larry Hoover, and the list keeps growing
What has hold up Detox is your fucking Headphones and your greed for more money,nothing else.You put Detox aside as soon as you get an opportunity to make quick money,like your fucking commercials for dr.pepper and Beats.Put all that shit away,lock yourself in the studio with a bag of weed and finish that shit already
This is a serious question. Can somebody tell me why niggas are checking for this so hard. I’ve only really been aware that he was doing a Detox album since last year *shrugs*

Im never gonna release Detox. Ya’ll must be on crack or sumthin.
who the hell cares about Detox anymore? I completely lost interest 4 months ago when he said Under Pressure would be out in less than 2 weeks. Hope the album gets leaked way early to teach his ass a lesson.

i know it dont take no fuckin 9years to work on a album eminems been out for 4years and his last two were the shit recovery only took 6months to work on and it was it dope
Dre has put himself in a LeBron James type of situation, he put so much hype around this shit that he’s settin himself up for failure. If every song ain’t a smash that could be a single then people gonna hate cuz of how long it took for him to make this shit. Like I said tho this shit is over hyped for someone who don’t write there own shit.
CHECK OUT Vi I WOULD LIKE TO SEE (DR.DRE AND EMINMEN) WORK WITH HIM HE’S NICE WITH THE LYRICS ON POINT —- http://tinyurl.com/2dbu2bb
He’s been studying the planets for the last 2 years? Is this nigga fucking high out of his mind? DETOX NIGGA, BACK TO WORK!!
EMINEM came from rehab and release 3 albums in just 2 year come know DRE stop playing around with your fan just tell tham theres no DETOX
suck dick gay ass dre
groundbreaking idea homey… really…
That “planets” idea sounds really good. Now watch how many cats jack that lol
And oh yeah,I finally checked out his headphones and I gotta say…UR A FUCKIN FOOL IF U SPEND $300 ON THAT ON DAT SHIT! Its other headphns out there dat provide damn near the same quality 4 cheaper.
What a douche!
