  4. GeoffieTheKid says:

    Epic cover, though I don’t think delaying the Detox album like 10 years was a strategic chess move. I predict this album will be extremely underwhelming. That’s just me hatin, tho.

  5. John says:

    Detox is NOT coming. I’ll believe it exists after it drops, then 10 years later, the Special Anniversary Edition drops, and then I STILL won’t believe it’s out.

  10. Willie_mcfly22 says:

    I jus hope I get the Niki cover! Ha!

  11. Ac@pella! says:

  12. dani says:

    Shout out to Keyshia Dior for Eye Candy of the Year. Shawty is BAAADDD !!!

  31. dashing says:

    My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 1 year > Detox in 8 years.

    That’s pure speculation on my part since Detox hasn’t dropped yet, but from all of the leaks, it sounds mad formulaic and a bit dated. The best tracks were the T.I ones that leaked almost 2 years ago but even that wasn’t blowing my mind.

    The problem with taking so long is that you build up expectations that you can’t possibly fulfill.

    Eminem & Royce Da 59 – Echo WORLD PREMIERE !!! — http://ul.to/1oa9gf

  33. Ac@pella! says:

    Here we go again with faggot ass lames stealing my name to post comments. Grow up dude…smh…

  34. Belize says:

    Out of loyalty, maybe I’ll keep a eye out for Detox. Honestly l still doubt it’ll come, but this is the last chance I’m givin you Dre. Cover is…interesting. I get it.

  35. sideshowRaheem says:

    Hmmm, Dre on the cover of a magazine where Kanye is getting praised for the 5th studio album he’s put out since Dre dropped The Chronic 2001……at what point does lack a pure output when compared to your contemporaries start to hurt you legendary status?

  36. N.W.A is forever says:

    N.W.A reunion ? that would be sooo amazing i would pay any price to see Dre back with Mc Ren,Yella ,Ice Cube & lil Eazy-E( Rest In Peace Eazy”mother fuckin”E) oh yeah FUCK THE POLICE!!!!!

  37. Panama says:

    U fools are soooo simple minded. These are all controlled leaks. They make u say “WTF this is what we’ve been waiting on….” when in actuality Dre is about to drop a game changer that’s gonna wreck ur staining meters.

  38. YaDig says:

    Aight I’ma stop hating on this nigga.

    DETOX!

  39. rhyno says:

  41. Phoenix says:

  42. Will says:

    “Everything is starting to sound the same.” Dre, NOW YOU FIGURED THAT OUT? Shit it’s been like that for YEARS with you! Let’s just hope you switch it up with this Album. & Hopefully a 2011 Release!
