Yes, you read the title right, Dr. Dre has given (another) tentative release date for his 3rd studio album, Detox.  He has this to say about the up-coming cd, ”I’m just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it. In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”  Dr. Dre mentioned Jay-Z, NaS and Lil’ Wayne as artists that will appear on Detox and said that once it is out, he will promote it and return to teh studio exclusivly as a producer.  Original interview seen over at rapbasement.com.

*Props to Hetal for this quick info

So… what do y’all think? We all know that release dates have been mentioned and we have all heard that Detox will be dropping “this” year. Having seen Relapse and news of Relapse 2, is this the year we finally get Detox!?

    I think that it actually might come out this year…he wouldn’t be doing those Dr. Pepper commercials unless he wanted to promote…

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Justin the Intern

    lol not gonna happen. Until I see an actual date and pre-orders up on major sites, I don’t believe it.

  • eA

    wewooweewoo. As per the birds, it doesn’t seem like this will be out anytime soon … but Boi-1da’s work is/has been done… over, and over… lol.

    Jay Z?? and Lil wayne??? Very dissapointing. THe only Jay z tracks i ever liked was when he was with The Commison with biggie, apart from that, im not feeling it. And LIl wayne?? Seriously?? To me, i think this album is shaping up for commerical Bullshit and should be left to the 16 year olds…
    And this is from a Dr Dre fan! haha

    Very very dissapointing………

    I’ve been going to rapbasement for a longgggggggggggggggg time no, great blog site. BUTTTTT they tend to post old stuff here and there and I remember hearing that same quote last year. So don’t get your hopes up fellas it’s probably not true.

  • http://www.myspace.com/youngkbeats Young K

    and Wez is what we call a hater, only ever liked 1 jay-z track, okay that’s cool. But you can’t disrespect him because either way hes one of the best to ever do it so suck it up. Look at the gang of shitty mc’s that was on 2001, hitman? like seriously i’ll take a jay verse over another hitman track ANYYYYYYYYYYYY day.

  • Krs

    haha in a “perfect world” in would come out in November or December…Well everyone we should expect The Detox next year..no wait next next..ahh never mind hell if I know

  • Wez

    YOung K, im not a hater, I just dont like his music, plain and simple. Not evreybody has to love Jay Z. it is what it is.

  • Wez

    Oh, and im pretty sure in my last post i never mentioned anything about hitman, or 2001.

  • http://www.myspace.com/youngkbeats Young K

    I know you didn’t but how can jay on detox disappoint you compared to some of the dudes that were on 2001. I don’t even like lil wayne either but i would still rather have him on it over rappers like hitman. thats all i was sayin with that.

    Personally I don’t like being played with by delayed release dates and over-hyped projects. There was a day when this genre was so competitive that you HAD to come out sooner rather than later or you were quickly forgotten or thrown into the trash bin we created called Old School or no longer relevant. Everyone can’t do what Jay or Nas has done successfully (Jadakiss and John Travolta as honorable mentions) by taking off for years and still be a commercial success. I’m not convinced that Busta’s latest album benefited from the long layoff because it builds too much anticipation and expectations. With that said, if Detox ever sees the light of day, Dre better kill it or fall from grace like Jordan missing a dunk!
    Face it Dre, nobody can stomach another Batman ’89!

  • Wez

    the only reason i made that comment, basically was becuase if you put Jay Z, or Wayne on an album…its a certified seller…..Due to the fact Jay z is held in high regard for the real hip hop heads, and the fact the younger generation will love wayne being on there too.. I guess theres no risk involved you know?? I hope dre smashes it on this album…. and he brings the best out in the artists….and in himself.

    dre said he wanted to release detox last year in november or december until he releases a single its not gonna look like it will drop this year but i think dre will drop detox this year though

  • http://www.myspace.com/djsoulclap DJ SoulClap

    Looks like Dre uses the Trilogy Bass plugin! haha

  • http://www.myspace.com/youngkbeats Young K

    yeah hopefully, I do disagree with the Wayne feature I can’t really see him on a Dre beat but I still have faith. This album needs to come out so everyone can put the speculations to rest and we can form some opinions on it. I can’t wait

  • http://www.myspace.com/cenzobeatz08 Cenzo Beatz

    nah, it wont come out this year. noo way. i dont believe him.

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Jay was on 2001…he wrote “Still D.R.E..”

  • http://www.myspace.com/garciastudios Garcia’s Grooves

    Amen! I’ll believe when I see it!

  • Freddie C

    Dre needs to stop playing with my emotions

    . . .i was waiting for someone to tell these people jay wrote on 2001. .kudos! .. now as far as detox goes. . im not going to lie. . when i saw the title of this post i got excited. .then when i seen a few of the artist on it . .im now thinking.. i lo key wish he’d keep it west coast. .. im still gonna purchase. . just thinking out loud. .

    @Quiet
    for real? f*ck Dre? ?. . my prayers are with you.

  • J. Rizzle

    Is this anutha April Fools joke in the month of June? LMAO !!!

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Kevin

    I hope not! lol no, this is legit.

  • http://www.myspace.com/banghardmusik Quiet

    I mean . . if you’ve actually sat on the edge of your bed waiting for a dre album then thats you…. detox isnt a big deal. .. .its not like back in the day when you would go to the record shop and slip the sales rep an extra 25-30 dollaz just to be the first one with the album..
    lyrically dre isnt as great as he is a producer.. .i feel he suffer from the gangstarr disease.. . .but he just rides the beat.. .dont live in the pass and obsess yourself with dre because hes a west coast icon.. your only in a 10 year span he made 1 album.. like i said fucka dre album.
    and if im wrong about the outcome of the album.. .im a man up
    @GftdGrooVe

  • mgeeze

    I am just happy that they are not saying its cancelled or shelved…lol
    I have a date to look forward to..as for Jay and Wayne being on the album, of course Dre is going to put mcs on it that is going to sell the album…that just makes sense.
    I think both Hov and Wayne ( not a huge fan but have to have faith that Dre will not allow whackness on the album) will tear up the album.

  • https://www.datpiff.com/GfTd_GrooVe__The_Sound_Of_Right_Now.m37779.html GftdGrooVe

    . . true 10 yr time span 1 album. .as you said hes better as a producer. .how many tracks has he produced during this 10 year time span? . .whats a gangstarr disease ? . .im looking for dre because of the work he has been doing. . so please dont try to make it seem as if im just on his d*ck. .looks to me your the one in a 10 yr time span .

  • http://www.myspace.com/banghardmusik Quiet

    I aint saying you kissing his converse.. Im just saying Fuck Dre is my opinion. .. He isnt even as great as a producer .. .maybe in his hey day… with the parliment samples and all. . .he’s just a good arranger.. .hes not playing all that shit you hear. ..he has visions and other people paint them. . .You need to be prayed for … .someone else is going to play the keys on detox .. .and someone else is going to write the songs.. .so just go buy someone elses album…

  • https://www.datpiff.com/GfTd_GrooVe__The_Sound_Of_Right_Now.m37779.html GftdGrooVe

    …isn’t that quote from an ’08 interview?

  • http://Justbaseball12@hotmail.com AJ

    Come on fools, you all talk bout release this and complain about the artists on the CD, shut the F*** up, everyone and their son/daughter gonna by this cd, everyone gonna listen and everyone gonna bump this shit. I do remember a verse from a another sick ass artist from compton, he put out cd’s every 7 years. F*** how long this shit takes to come out, ya the fake ass release dates suck but Dre aint puttin out bullshit, Dre aint puttin out shit that dont go hard, Dre aint Fuckin wit noone that dont sell and that dont spit, Jay and Wayne are two different lyricist but they still can spit some shit that the greatest cant imagine. Dre is sick and you all clown on this BS and I agree say its 2012, fuck before the world ends but still everyone clownin when they gonna by the CD, 2 cd’s and still one of the greatest. He is a perfectionist so appreciate the man for being the best at he does. Has he ever disappointed, why would he start now? Real talk think bout the shit before you clown on legends (Dre, Jay, and Wayne).
