^^^^^-Dre is learning "how" to score movies,he says (at the time of the interview) that it will take him 5-6 years to get it down.This can explain;*Why Detox is taking a minute to finished.*Support the "movie" concept idea.-It also has a part of Dre introducing new producers,so it´s not like Dre ain´t working.
Dr.Dre Scratch magazine Volume 1 Summer 2004

I would lose so much respect for dre.True, this is a good question you brought up. A lot of people aren't really seeing your idea through, and they are putting Dr. Dre under an aura of invincibility, but it's not guaranteed that, if Detox comes out, it will be great. If he drops something average or worse, it could severly tarnish his legacy. I would rather have him never come out than come with something weak, it's always better to leave your fans wanting more than getting tired of him. It's possible that if he came out weak he could come back hungry with something else, but the fact that he has had so much time for this would kind of cancel that thought out for me. Interesting discussion.

I have a feeling Detox will be out by the end of the year, Not to say that Dre will follow the same pattern but "The Chronic" came out in December of '92 and "2001" in November of '99.

Interesting discussion.i think it was already clear that the disappointment when Detox finally drops is inevitable.but then i ask you, how important is a first impression for you?i mean, that Detox will be classic, according to "dre" standards is subjective and that expectation level is unrealistic.that doesn't mean it will be very unlikely that Detox is going to be a good Dre soloalbum.Quote from: HighEyeCue on March 30, 2008, 07:43:30 PMI have a feeling Detox will be out by the end of the year, Not to say that Dre will follow the same pattern but "The Chronic" came out in December of '92 and "2001" in November of '99. i see.but would it really hurt the sales that bad if interscope chose to release it in the beginning of a new year ( in Detox case, january 2009 for example) ?

I think Interscope would probably love to have it by late Novemeber, Black Friday week, to around the week before Christmas when sales are at the highest of the year. I don't think January is a good month because it is the lowest sales month of the year and people are just coming off spending tons of money on holiday season shopping, March/April would be better. I am speaking of course from Interscope's point of view, personally I don't mind it coming out in January, I will buy it regardless

I always thought of Dre's albums as compilations so I don't really mind that part
It has been a longer wait for a Dre single this time because he had "Been There Done That" in '96 so he dropped one 3 years later

These are some parts of the comments from "mellow man". Do you know who is this guy for real ? I read it would mike elizondo. If that shit is real the album is gonna be like that :
