I say technically because in reality Detox was probably not just one album but a multitude of projects started and then binned as the Doctor rigorously attempted to nail a third classic.ĭre himself in 2002 stated that ‘Detox’ would be a concept album, a hip-hop musical of sorts centring on one character, but just a year later he claimed to have abandoned the album to pull his full efforts into making Aftermath Records a success (a decision that worked out, mind.) When ‘This is Detox’ and ‘Topless’, the first T.I. So why was ‘Detox’ any different? The official party line is that 'Detox' was scrapped because it failed to meet his lofty standards. On, off, on, off, on until last week when Dre confirmed that hip-hop’s most anticipated album had been dragged into the recycle bin on his Apple MacBook and forever erased.ĭre is a perfectionist so says just about everybody who has ever stepped foot in the studio with him and that meticulous work ethic has generally worked for him, both with his own albums and those of 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and most recently Kendrick Lamar. Release date scheduled, release date cancelled, release date reset, release date pushed back. Dre’s third album has been on again, off again more times than Ross and Rachel.

He was like ‘yo, I think we found our girl.’ That next weekend, I was in LA doing a demo for Dr. “He was like ‘the f*** is happening.’ He thought I was selling weed, he was like ‘where’s the weed?’ Then he finished listening to me, letting me rap, and he called Dre right there. She then continues the story by saying that she got to the house, stood up, put a tape in, and started rapping. He was like ‘we just gon’ put on some music, you start rapping.’ And that’s what happened.” But what the hell I do when I ain’t got no weed. But, you gonna act like the weed girl, cause he want some weed.’ I was like, alright cool.
