Dr. Dre feat Jay Z "Under Pressure" Dropping This Month

[nuerastudios06]

Great to see that the record will actually be released but I still think it has little to do with Detox.

I feel the same, I think its related more to the headphones than Detox itself, its simply being put out the test the waters and Dre's relevance.

i think THE FIRST SINGLE SHOULD BE WITH SNOOP!!

[Lunatic]

Probably a tester.

fuck gay-z this is a sellout move for dre


detox will suck cox

[friscoliving]

drake did work on detox....comfimed a while ago who cares drake is dope. Even though i'd like wayne i'd rather have Dre give more shine to the west coast on this one. No part of the country is in the spotlight dre could put it on the west with detox

[Prof@ssor]

looking forward to it...and i heard Miley Cyrus is gonna be on the record

goddamn that should be dope! put lady gaga on there and he's gonna have a hit.

Lady GaGa is actually dope 

[ToOoOoN!!!]

Jay wrote "Still D.R.E", so did he sellout back then already?

[OG Snoopaveli]

I don't like Jay-Z personally. I can't stand him. I am not that happy that he's featured on the first single. Oh well...

[TRG]

Damn Jay-Z is disliked/hated lol.

He wrote Still D.R.E. that turned out alright. Who's to say the formula wont work again?

[Okka]

I have a feeling most people hatin' on Jay haven't even heard his discography. You can't deny it, he got skills.

[es-jay]

i would put money on most of the people complaining about Jay-Z and other non-westcoast rappers who are speculated to be on Detox are 15 years old who just discovered 2Pac a couple of years ago and are still into the Westcoast Vs Eastcoast fued.

Yeah.  I wish they would make a video for Under Pressure so we could see if it says Detox in the credits as its album affiliation.

I wrote this in the other thread but I'll repeat: it doesn't make sense to release a lead single 7 months before the album drops.  The whole album would leak within that 7 month interim, and Detox would get pushed back all over again.

One thing is for sure, if Detox is real, it will be a very mainstream album.  As for the rest of what's been discussed recently, I'm probably not going to post in any more Detox threads because it's just not worth the effort.  When people dismiss The Chronic as being a rushed album and Still Dre is better than all of The Chronic and when people say Detox is going to be perfection with no way to back up that claim...it's just people showing their age (teenagers) who weren't around when Dre was the Michael Jordan of hip hop and who don't understand how great he was.  Elif4zaggin, The Chronic, Doggystyle ... that's a hell of a run 20 some odd years ago.  I don't see how you can just all of a sudden go back to being in your prime 20 years later, let alone surpass it.  That's not how athletes, artists, creative people operate.  You rise and fall.  I question the artistic inspiration for Detox.  I'm sure it will be technically mind-blowing.  But great art is not necessarily about technique alone (engineering, mixing, etc. "studio craft" in a nutshell).  Studio craft doesn't make great art, and I've yet to be convinced Dre is artistically inspired right now.  Hell, they're promoting Dre's music based on its technique (i.e. the way it sounds -- sheer acoustics) not based on artistic inspiration -- I mean, not based on a brand new idea, such as G-Funk.  That has me very concerned.

Anyway, I'm out until Dre drops some music.
