DJ Quik, a Los Angeles producer and rapper visiting Melbourne this week, is working on Dre’s much-anticipated, much-delayed album, Detox.
The album, Dre’s first release in 10 years, might never see the light of day.
“I don’t believe Dr Dre will release that album,” Quik said.
“I think he’s over it and rightfully so. He doesn’t have to prove to anybody that he can still make a hot record.”
Quik revealed Dr Dre has studied Chopin, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to inspire tracks on Detox.
But Quik said working with Dre, whose solo hits and collaborations with NWA, Snoop Dogg and Eminem have sold 150 million records, is stressful.
“He’s a slave driver in the studio. He’ll make you cry,” Quik says. “You have to be perfect to work with him. If you not, you want be in the studio, period.
“He’s totally, totally, totally mean when it comes to production.
“He’ll work diligently on one part for hours upon hours upon hours, only to scrap it if he doesn’t feel it’s addictive enough.
“He almost a perfectionist to a fault.”

ReplyDeleteI mentioned this on this blog yesterday but it was taken down..
ReplyDeleteI knew this a few weeks back from dj quick
Old News.....
the reason the comment was taken down was because it was in another post/topic.
Deleteyour free to discuss it here.
BTW it may be old news to you but to some it may be new.
I Can`t Belive What I`m Reading...No Detox !! I Don`t Want To Belive This...I Aspected First Single At Choachella But I Thing Nothing Will Happen.
ReplyDeleteDetox is never coming out and I hope it doesnt. The name and concept of the album is so outdated now and the idea he had of a hip hop opera has been done already its kinda just a burnt out project. He should just come out with some left field type project out of nowhere like he always does. All his previous projects just came out with no promotion or hype and were classics. The best albums any artist makes are ones when there having a good time with it and you can tell.
ReplyDeleteQuick is spot on detox is not ever going to drop sad but true
ReplyDeleteQuick is just lame as hell

This album is never coming out
So detox has become an impossible record to make?We haven't heard anything from Dre though. It would be a shame Detox seemed so close! At least he could give the beats to Kendrick Lamar.
ReplyDeleteDj quik gets really frustrated when it comes to detox. He cant get dres metods and is really annoyed. Think he has joined the long list of poeple who have given up hope.
ReplyDeleteRoid rage!!!
ReplyDeleteIs this the end of Detox?
ReplyDeleteIs this the end of Detox? Or is Quick playing with us. I don't think DJ Quick would do that though unless it was part of a plan for promotion somehow. Bad news!
ReplyDeleteHe's just frustrated! This album is mythical, does it exist? One person will say it exists and will be released while another person will say he's scrapped it. II pressume it's still being worked on judging by the fact that the last statement dre made he said he's getting back into it.

ReplyDeleteIf this is true, then Dre should just give his fans some closure. Stoping giving them false hope
ReplyDeletehe thinks "hes done with it" because dre hasnt called him. I believe that dre has the music but is missing the lyrics. This is the reason why ross, wayne, annd meek mill have been in the studio with dre.
ReplyDeleteLil' Wayne can suck my small d¡ck
DeletePerfectionist my ass, if he's so keen on making his music perfect then we wouldn't have had "I Need a Doctor" or "Kush", those songs are far from perfect. I guess Dre just gave up because he knows he doesn't have the gold touch anymore.
ReplyDeleteDJ quick doesn't know shit. detox will come out. suck it easy bitches
ReplyDeleteIf dre cant/wouldnt release detox. He should make slim the mobster and lamar kendrick have decent albums.
ReplyDeleteif it wont come out, why are there detox sessions?
ReplyDeletethey could be sessions 'loosely' connected to Detox.
DeleteI heard Dj Quick say that he thinks Dre should scrap Detox, that was a few years ago hes still being negative about it. The D.O.C. said Dre is getting what he has been looking for and it might soon be time to celebrate. I'm still positive it's coming out and it gonna be a cool record so fuck DJ Quick.
ReplyDeleteShit dre why u slaving my nigga quik, Fuckin this ain't 1800's stop slavin niggaz why u think my nigga Lincoln abolish that shit, u ain't gonna make some hard for your shit, dre u can finish detox ya self ya dig!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteoh great a tired west coast type video featuring lo-riders, and a song off that wack mixtape by slim the clown
ReplyDeletewait, didnt Obie say detox was finished last month? and snoop said a few months back that detox was finished as well, im confused
ReplyDeletebtw, sorry plugin that i copied ur post homie, didnt know it was u that wrote that
-kizman-
Kendrick just got singed last week and has millions of fans. Slim the mobster has been signed for years and has no fans lol. slim is toast nobody cares. Plus Kendrick is the only chance for detox to drop. if his album is a classic and he becomes a superstar then detox will drop from the momentum like eminem and 2001.
ReplyDeleteDre needs to sign hospin instead
Delete^^^this guy said it.
