Actually a really good topic for Detox for once!!!I can't see Dre doing the whole TRL or talk show type shit.. he just seems like he would consider himself past that. He may peform on some shows maybe but I don't know I can't see him sitting down and talking about it.. I don't know.I hope Dre really puts Bishop out there because Bishop is a dope rapper and deserves to blow out out the west and help the west be a big part of the rap game again. I imagine Dre will use Em & 50 & possibly Snoop to get his album heard. I'd actually like to see Dre do a record with Cube.. something huge like Natural Born Killaz again!!Dre will probably come out with a club record using Em & 50 considering he's produced some bangers for both of them on their records. The key is if he puts out a club record first what kind of singles does he follow that up with? He doesn't want to lose the buzz and interest he has in his record with just the first single. I think that will be key. But I imagine on all of his first 3 singles he will have big names on it to keep himself on top of the charts.Image wise I don't see Dre trying to look all professional with suits and shit.. I imagine him in casual clothes with maybe the all black look or the jean jacket blue jeans type look. But definitely not the suit look.Man good topic though.. I'll post more when I have time to think about it more.
Seeing that the entire rap game has changed up a lot from what it was in 99 when Dre 2001 came out...what are all of the methods you feel will be necessary for promoting Detox, and making it a very high selling album? It seems as if the "TRL Crowd" and "Teenyboppers" may still love Eminem, 50, and Snoop, but many of them are out of touch with Dre and everything he's done. Do you think Dre will have to do all of the talk shows and music shows, such as 106 n Park, TRL? What rapper do you REALLY think is gonna be his right hand man, and be the one that he promotes the album through? Although Hittman was really Snoop on 2001, he still seemed to go through Eminem and Snoop more than Hitt, because he had a name...so that may mean that he won't be going through Bishop as much as some of us might hope.Will he have to come with a club hit as the first single, or will he have to come with a street single and a club single at the same time? He didn't drop a club single until the third single on 2001, which was "Next Episode", and the only true club song aside from that was "Let's get high" which still gets played at West Coast clubs. With the south being on "top" and having so many club songs and the like, it seems as if Dre will be more successful with a single that has energy to it, even if it isn't simple and catchy.What will Dre's image be? Will he come out in throwback mode, wearing all black, Compton hats, chucks, khakis, etc? Will he come "30 something" (even though he's 40) in button ups, jeans, and dress shoes? Will he come out "white boy" like Pharrell and Kanye, with the small fitting shirts, or the hoodies that Wayne and T.I. like to wear? Or will he come as a Godfather, wearing suits, hats, and the like? What image do you think will be best for him at this point? There are many different options, and it may even depend on the singles and the overall mood of the album. Speak on it.
I'm sure Jimmy knows what to do. He doesn't need our help.
Lets give Dre sum ideas for track titles. He should do a track called "The Final Episode".
