Lmao, no MC Ren? Come on.

Don't think hes down with Dre no more.

Features look great. No new Gen trap crap

 

[beanman25]

goosebumps hearing the announcement. fingers crossed for a classic.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Big fan of "Chronic", and "2001" was solid was well. Haven't listened to "Detox" yet so may give it a thourough listen before this one hits. Very rare I look forward to rap albums these days!

I mean, this has a high chance of being poop but I will still listen to it.

can we switch dimensions

 

[norm9]

I wonder who's ghostproducing.

I'm guessing Eminem, DJ Quik, and Pharrell for starters.

ETA- the fuck is up with no Ren? He was hard as fuck on Chin Check.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

nobody has

Oh! I was going by an undated list of solo albums. Thought he already had 3 albums out for some reason, whoops! My bad!

Detox is amazing, but a bit of a let down if I'm honest.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

You'd think the soundtrack would just be existing NWA tracks.

 

[TheMAK]

I'm guessing Eminem, DJ Quik, and Pharrell for starters.

Quik ghost producing is impossible. AFAIK they only ever co-produced one track together: Put It On Me

 

[Ocelott]

Where is Ice Cube?

 

[norm9]

Only one Em song. More willing to give this a shot now.

I don't know who some of these people even are though lol.

Hope it doesn't turn out like that garbage album when he created Aftermath Records. Been There Done That was good though.

Quik ghost producing is impossible. AFAIK they only ever co-produced one track: Put It On Me

An old interview with Quik had him saying he did the drums on In Da Club. So it wouldn't surprise me if he did others.

Not as good as ye's worst.

 

[Rastafarian42]

It's more like the Jay Z American Gangster album which had all new songs inspired by the movie.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Xzibit and Cold 187um, even.

Above the Law representation!

Likwit Crew!!

[Dominator]

I'm feeling that tracklist. Hopes are now high.

 

[Frank Serpico]

Just so we are clear, THIS IS NOT DETOX, he announced on Beats1 he's working on that, this is separate

 

[Black Republican]

Dre and quik did truth hurts addictive single way back

 

[Kiru]

Happy to see Xzibit on there.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Quik produced on the album. Lord Finesse also produced tracks.

No, Detox is never coming out.

 

[robotrock]

Wow seriously?

 

[norm9]

The more I look at the track listings, the more certain I am that's its gonna be shitty like Dr Dre presents the Aftermath. One or two hot tracks, the rest garbage. *insert picture of a lock*

 

[iMax]

Just so we are clear, THIS IS NOT DETOX, he announced on Beats1 he's working on that, this is separate

wait what

He said Detox is dead.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I don't understand how he can put something like this out in time for a deadline but it takes him 15 years to make detox.

 

[Frank Serpico]

I don't understand how he can put something like this out in time for a deadline but it takes him 15 years to make detox.

He said he scrapped Detox because he didn't think it was good enough

 

[TheMAK]

Dre and quik did truth hurts addictive single way back

Addictive was 100% produced by Quik for Aftermath and is one of the only times he ever used a sample (and Aftermath got sued for it ironically).

 

[KissVibes]

Because Detox has to be perfect.

Who will even remember this? This album is going to be remembered like the Get Rich or Die Tryin' Movie Soundtrack. With a big ol' "Oh yeah, he did that didn't he? I can't remember a single track from that."

 

[mangochutney]

No, Detox is never coming out.

Yeah it is dead. He said this is his 'grand finale', so after this - no more.

And even if he did come back with something else he sure as hell isn't gonna call it Detox.

 

[Frank Serpico]

they got taken to the woodshed

 

[TheMAK]

Quik produced on the album. Lord Finesse also produced tracks.

We were are talking Ghost producing here. Not producing (and being credited for it) on somebody else album. Point is: Quik has never Ghost produced for anyone.

 

[AstroNut325]

I agree with the people saying this needs an NWA track or a song with a Ren.

But I don't get the Kendrick hate. Can someone help me understand that?

 

[Einhander]

I will say this about Dre: Rakim's Dre-produced track, After You Die, was better than the entirity of The Seventh Seal. I have little hope for Rakim's next album. >_>

 

[bomma_man]

Rock bottom expectations

 

[Shearie]

But I don't get the Kendrick hate. Can someone help me understand that?

Too many people like him now, therefore...hate.

 

[norm9]

I read somewhere years ago that Rakim couldn't handle the perfectionist and micromanaging by Dre so a whole Rakim album produced by Dre was scrapped.

 

[jwhit28]

Reading the features, is Xzibit the only Dre protege that didn't become a superstar? Kind of sad. Pimp my Rides was his crowning achievement in pop culture.

Edit: looking at actual album sales, he was still very successful, just not Snoop, Eminem, 50, Kendrick successful

 

[DMczaf]

It's 2015 and I'm hyped for a Dre + Xzibit track.

He's got more money than 50 cent at least.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Since when is Xzibit a "Dre protege?"

LIKWIT CREW!!

Exactly

 

[Social]

don't worry, he'll just yell over every track.

he got a bit better at that again, not as much yelling anymore

I'd say his restless album singles got him the most mainstream attention before pimp my ride.
Oh and his dre/Eminem feats helped too I'm sure

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's 2015 and I'm hyped for a Dre + Xzibit track.

a Dr. Dre album, a Jurassic movie topping the box office, and Hulk Hogan turning heel? The 90s really are back.

 

[jwhit28]

Exactly

It really seemed like he latched on to the guy during Chronic 2001 and helped get some features with Snoop and Eminem before Man vs Machine released. I like Xzibit. Always feels like he should have been bigger. Then again maybe shining the brightest doesn't mean much if it is for a short period of time (50 cent)

 

[TheKaeptain]

why do you say that?

Looks like you were right. August 7 it is.

To be fair I heard from a journo friend that it was going to be announced for the 7th.

 

[Auctopus]

Apple Music exclusive, I hope it gets a physical release eventually so I can get that artwork.
