Nasir Jones recalls the fallen songstress and promises an ill collaboration with the West Coast veteran.
“Dre is the king of the gangsta music. I just did something for his new album Detox, so I’m waiting for it,” he said. “We got a nice record.”

Impossible hype doesn't negate the fact Detox will be all heat and made a classic. Tha Carter IV? Well okay it may be a big album in its time but it won't be as big as III or nearly as good as II, and thankfully Lil Wayne has already peaked long ago. Not a fan of Wayne, don't care for Young Money making hip-hop into a fluffy radio friendly genre to sell ringtones, or the autotune cancer he somehow still thinks is cool. He hasn't done any favors to hip-hop in a long, long time.
ReplyDeleteGet it all out now, nobody is going to even think Wayne when Detox drops.
Uzee pls remove these shitty lil wayne comments..and about the topic, its a tight collaboration between dre and nas, i wish we hear it soon and that it doesn't take that much time like 50 cent's collab The Psycho which was supposed to drop like a month ago and still didnt come out.
ReplyDeleteNAS IS ONE OF THE BEST NICE TO HEAR HE WILL BE ON THE ALBUM HES HAD A COUPLE NICE TRACKS PRODUCED WITH DRE YOU CAN'T EVEN COMPARE 50 OR LIL WAYNE TO HIM NAS IS A NICE FIT FOR DETOX IF YOUR TALKIN VETERANS IT WOULD BE COOL TO ALSO HEAR RAKIM ON A TRACK SORRY THRE GUY 2 POSTS ABOVE SAID IT RIGHT( THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR HIP HOP) LETS HOPE DRE CAN RESURRECT EASY AND WEST WE'RE GETTING HUNGRY
ReplyDeleteCool, But...
ReplyDeleteDre needs a big epic beat right now with the help of scott storch,dj khalil and dawaun parker and rhymes written by for example jay-z or maybe kendrick lamar. No features for the first single just dre and no bullshit.
Hype williams makes the insane expensive video to it. This will get things goin!!!!
Cmon Dre!
The problem is, even some of the dre fans are confused on how they want detox to sound, some say they dont want repetetive played out gagsta shit (like weed, money, hoes, killin...) and others dont want corny shit but with good lyrics like INAD, and also others dont want pop-club shit...so if we dont want old school westcoast music, we dont want club music, we dont want corny popish music, then WTF DO WE WANT?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteWhat Dre does best for himself guided by the people that helped create the signature Dre sound. It is what it is, but we just want next level great production and epic music from it. We want something we will listen to over and over again years from now and it comes from Dre putting out what HE thinks is perfect but with the hand of others, like I said, who brought out the Dre sound we look up to. Anything less than sincere for the sake of selling records, going by what's hot, or selling singles isn't what Dre did before, and it would be a disappointment now. Dre is about making a classic album with patient, surgical perfection in every note and snare, and we expect him to repeat history.
ReplyDeleteThat differs from opinion to opinion. I personally think it would be sick for dre to act kind of like the badass godfather of hip hop. he has seen so much and infuanced so many artists that appeal to different generations that he should just talk about his life. Stories from his experiences in the music industry and the music industry in general. Just talk about the weed, the bitches, and the hip hop joints that he has done in his lifetime and he should be fine. Include all the styles that he has introduced into hip hop throughout the decades. Maybe start the album off with NWA type of shit then move on to g funk then at the end dre could introduce a new style that we havent heard before . i dont know why he is trying to appeal to a young generation by being all electropoppy and shit. Just make authentic soulful music with a message. Classics arnt measured by how they changed the music industry, but by different factors in the lyrics and music such as a feeling of hunger, a sense of meaning, how it makes the listener feel, and how it defines that generation's type of music. Changing the game is only a bi-product. If changing the game was all that mattered, then t-pain's albums and features which influanced the industry to include horrible autotune into the industry would be viewed as classics.
ReplyDeleteI want that Dre sound from 2005-2006 with a fresh twist (im lovin the beats dj khalil been doing recently) and with the new cali rappers (kendrick lamar,jay rock) and the west OGs
ReplyDeleteDre doesn't have to change his sound to appeal to the younger generation. Dre has his unique sound and must believe in it. He can make a hit album with that.
ReplyDeletei THINK WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS IN'T 1988(STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON) 1992(CHRONIC) 1999(CHRONIC 2001) I LISTENED TO DRUG TEST AND TO HEAR DRE'S LYRICS WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING. COME ON THIS GUYS PUSHING 50. ITS A JOKE. THE MUSIC FROM THE SONG IS NOT BAD BUT THE LYRICS, YOU GUYS REALLY BELIEVE THIS SHIT. I REALLY RESPECT DRE AS A MUSICIAN FOR HIS BEATS HIS MUSIC. HE IS THE BEST HIOP HOP PRODUCER. BUT THE LYRICS ARE OUTDATED. I LOVED WHAT I HEARD FROM DIE HARD I HOOPE SOMEDAY I WILL HEAR THE FINAL PRODUCT. I HOPE HE FOLLOWS THAT FORMULA.I HOPE THAT DRE WILL MAKE A RECORD THAT WILL APPEAL TO EVERYONE(EAST WEST YOUNG OLD MAYBE EVEN THROW IN A COUPLE GANGSTA TRACKS( EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT MUCH OF A GANGSTA RAP FAN ANYMORE) ITS NICE TO HEAR HE HAS A TRACK WITH NAS. I WOULD OF LOVED TO HAVE HEARD A WHOLE ALBUM FROM NAS PRODUCED BY DRE. I WAS DISAPPOINTED ALSO WHEN THE RAKIM ALBUM NEVER CAME TO LIGHT. ANYWAY FOR DRE TO PULL OFF A MASTERPIECE LIKE THIS IO THINK HE NEEDS TO INTRODUCE A NEWER FUTURISTIC SOUND THAT WE'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE AND SOMEHOW BLEND TO JUST SOUND RIGHT WITH NEW AND OLD TALENT. FOR AS LONG AS HES BEEN WORKING ON THIS I THINK HE OWES US MORE THAT ONE ALBUM AT LEAST A DOUBLE DISC AND INCLUDE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARTISTS FROM ALL ERAS SINCE THIS IS HIS COMING OUT PARTY STILL "PATIENTLY WAITING FOR DETOX" IS THERE ANYONE THAT WILL COMMENT ON THIS THANKS
ReplyDeleteI really dug Kush but the whole weed smoking thing is played out and not appropriate for a man in his 50's anymore, so it dragged the record down even if the beat was hot (not so much the out-of-place Akon feature). As far as I read from someone close to Bishop, the Detox that came out of Dre and Bishop working close together was on the par of that leaked track "Who's Yo Daddy Bitch?!" and Dre rapping some real life shit. We know that got scrapped and that's too bad, I really found that to be an epic ass beat even if it was way unfinished.
ReplyDeleteSomeone else had also said Dre was mostly finished with Detox again but Jimmy Iovine put it down for not being "uptempo" enough. Jimmy is executive producer of Detox so he does have a say. Apparently most of the songs were like that Dre/Snoop collab "Imagine" which I had no problem with, sparse but epic piano beats is what Dre does best, but I can see why a big label would have a problem selling a hyped up album that isn't radio friendly.
The other thing I had read was that at one point the album was very in the style of "Shit Popped Off", the snippet from the Dr. Pepper commercial, with synth grooves and a real laid back West Coast feel. I would've dug that a lot personally, that track would've been fire if it was finished and mixed by Dre with a Snoop feature, but I think he just gave the beat away to someone else after it leaked.
All that aside, it isn't about what exact sound Dre puts in for Detox, it just needs to be a classic. Fuck the hype, I trust Dre will put out the album eventually (although not anytime soon IMO) and it'll pack serious heat. The fact he finally reached back out to D.O.C. and Snoop again shows me Dre now gets that he can't make that classic without the people that crafted the first two and that's the best Detox news we could have asked for. I'm not picky about what Detox should be like, only that Detox should live up to the expectations and level that Dre sets for himself. It should be about reviving the WC and cementing Dre's legacy, taking it to another level whilst keeping us nostalgic for The Chronic and what WC hip-hop is made of, and more than anything just be good music we can listen to again and again. The last bit is what's more important than anything, something that lasts, not something that's hot right now.
mate... learn to use punctuation in the sentences :P
ReplyDelete^^ haha the thing is, dre has already made like 4 albums for detox that might have been considered classics. This whole process is ridiculous and when it is all said and done, I hope dre sheds some light on exactly how many times he finished detox and why he scrapped so many albums. I pray we will be able to hear some of those scrapped albums or at least some tracks from them. I hope dre doesnt let jimmy's commercial minded ways influence dre.
ReplyDeleteDre should just do what Snoop is doing. Enjoying the fact that he made it in this business. I used to despise Snoop for awhile after hearing "Signs," but I came to realise after hearing "California Girls," that Snoop is just having fun, and when you see him from that perspective, I began to respect him once again. Maybe instead of being another rapper on his album, he should be a narrator, some sort of puppet master controlling the lives of the people represented in the album ("Guilty Conscience). Plus, to satisfy all audiences maybe the music could showcase some kind of evolution in his sound, from the 90's all the way to the present, therefore there would be trendy music to draw in sales, and throwback songs to please the hardcore fans. 14 songs with interludes and skits could achieve that. Or even a double album like what Pac did?
