Dr Dre's Detox Album is Finally Dropping.

There is finally some hope that Producer/Rapper, Dr Dre is going to drop his long awaited album. I think i have been waiting on this album since when i was in my second year in college, and that was back in 2004, but i thank God it is finally dropping.

In a recent interview, Dre didn't give a specific date, but said it would definitely drop in the first quarter of next year, probably Feb of 2011. I think i can take him for his word this time since the official first single, "kush", is out and is slowly growing on people. The single features Akon and Snoop Dogg. Other feautured artist on the album are Eminem, Jay-Z and The Game.

If you don't really know Dre from the past let me give you a quick run down; he was in the legendary West Coast rap group, NWA, which also had Eazy E and Ice Cube as members, back in the late eighties. He went on to Death Row records, which was put up by Suge Knights, and dropped his first solo album, The Chronic, which was a huge success, in 1992, and then dropped his second album, in 1999, which he titled 2001. Both albums have sold a combined 16million copies, in the U.S alone, and more millions worldwide. He signed and developed the careers of super star rappers like Snoop, eminem, 50cent and The Game.

DR DRE TO FEATURE JAY-Z ON DETOX'S FIRST SINGLE.

There is  news from MICHEAL YO of E! NEWS, on his twitter page that DR DRE IS TO FEATURE JAY-Z ON DETOX'S FIRST SINGLE. If you didn't know, detox is the title of the legendary west coast producer/rapper/beat maker, dr dre's 3rd album. Since after he dropped his last album, 2001, which was in 1999, his fans have been waiting endlessly for the next one.

The buzz for detox came up as far back as 2004, and it has been highly anticipated since then. I don't think any other album has been delayed the way detox has been, but people keep saying it is worth the wait. I can remember on THE GAME'S debut album, when dre had a litle cameo where he says we should watch out for detox, and that was in 2005, five years ago.

Jay and dre have worked together in the past, and there was rumor that jay ghost wrote the first single from 2001, but i am not to sure about that. Dre has done some beats for jay-z in the past, some wonderful classic beats, which would include The Watcher 2, that featured legendary rapper, rakim, and also dre himself, on jay's Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse album.

Now that they have worked together again on this unnamed song, it is sure to come out good.

GAME TALKS MORE ON THE RED ALBUM AND WORKIGN WITH DRE.

You know i am a big GAME fan, so you would always here it first, anything that has to do with him and his album, i got that for you. Even if it has to do with his personal life, i got that to...nah, i am just joking; it's all music hear, all about what is good in rap.

Several weeks ago, GAME surprised people on his TWITTER page when he posted a picture of him, SNOOP and DR DRE; up before then, people thought he would never get with dre again. Following the 2005 disbandment of GAME from G-UNIT, DRE's silence on the matter, made everybody believe that he was on 50's side; so as long as game and 50 still had their beef, people never believed they would see game and dre together again. And the fact that dre did not appear on, or did any production on game's last two albums, L.A.X and DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE, further cemented this in the mind of a lot people. So, it was really a big shocker to a lot of people.

The picture showed the three in the studio, and game twitted that they were working on DETOX, dre's album. Now, and recently, game has been talking about the good doc putting some work in on his album, THE RED ALBUM, and that would be real good news for the game fans.

I am a game fan, and i know he got mad skills, but sometimes, he does not know in what direction to go. I think this link-up with dre will do a lot of good for the album. I can't wait till it drops in FEB, Feb 16 2010, to be precise.

Below is what game had to say about the matter when he called into DJ GREEN LANTERN'S show, recently:

"R.E.D., I'm just painting the whole world red," Game promised in an interview with DJ Green Lantern. "It's basically the re-dedication, it's my most hood and street album since The Documentary so it's basically being rededicated to my fans, my family, my kids, my block, my hood. Like, hip-hop, the R.E.D. Album is gonna be crazy. I'm back in with Dre everyday going hard in the studio doing the little stuff, working on Detox with him and he's working on The R.E.D. Album with me. It's just, we got a good feeling out here...I did my last two albums without Dre and even though, I just did it on my own man. When I talked to him, he [was like] I've been doing a good job and he took a listen and I did my thing. I learned well, my time at Aftermath was spent well, so getting back in, that old feeling came back. The chemistry is crazy, I got a lot of love for that dude and that's why I never really disrespected him or really went at Aftermath, I only did what I had to do to survive man, but I got love for dude and we back in grindin' man."

GAME BACK WITH DR DRE.

I remember telling people that DR DRE was planing to use GAME, EMINEM, and 50 CENT as guest artist on his album, DETOX. That is the strategy(using a hot protege) dre uses on all his albums; on the first one, he had snoop all over the place; on chronic 2001, he had snoop again, he had eminem, he had exibit, he had mel man...

I was telling peeps back then that detox would not drop untill game gets on it. Game is from the west, the hottest west coast cat of back then, when dre was really trying to get detox out. Game is still the hottest act from the west, and incidentally, is also from COMPTON, the city dre is from. I just new it was only a matter of time before dre got back with game. Now that the 50 cent beef is almost dead, and 50 is less relevant than he was back in 2005, dre has gotten back with game.

SNOOP, GAME, AND DR DRE are presently in the studio working on DETOX. The picture, which snoop and game put on twitter is an evidence. I wonder what 50 has to say about this. Dre was quiet all that while because he didn't want to take sides, but every body knows who the doc really respects on the mic. Hate him or love him, game is a beast on the mic. And with dre's guidiance, it is another story.



BELOW IS GAME'S TWEET ON THE ISSUE.

"CAN U SAY "DETOX" ??? IN THE STUDIO WIT DRE & SNOOP. WE BOUT 2 MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE MAD. RIDE WIT US OR GET RAN OVER ! AFTERMATH OR DIE !"

SNOOP ALSO TWITTED ABOUT IT:

"What's more gangsta than dis?," he wrote. "N the studio right now!!! west coast takeover. this is how the west was one!!!"
