Yeah, Don't Get Carried Away is another. When I think of a 'Detox' style beat, I think of switch ups in the beat and chord changes every several bars. A few other examples that I can think of include Obie Trice's "Oh!"Em, Dre, 50 "Encore"Game "Don't Worry" ( during his verses )Game "Start From Scratch" ( not so much in terms of switch ups but in beat pattern and layering )Busta "Cocaina"

Dubcnn: Well let's see if you can speak about this then. Some time ago Scratch did an article on the Detox project. It mentioned tracks that Dre affiliates thought were possibly produced with Detox in mind. Examples cited were Obie Trice's "The Set Up" and The Game's "Runnin'." Do you know of any other beats that were at one point considered for Dre's album?Nah, at least in stuff prior to me getting there, I wouldn't know at all. I haven't asked Doc too much about that stuff. You know, most articles and all that stuff aren't super-legit. You know what I mean? I think that when it comes to this project, and the Doc's stuff in particular and all that, people just want to have any kind of information. You got internet kids who really believe it when they see Detox downloads and stuff online, it's so crazy! But anyway, If they can somehow attribute it to that, they're like, "Oh, well, we heard that Detox is supposed to come out. We've been hearing about it for a while." They're kind of assuming that every beat that they think is hot and Dre is attached to which ends up on someone else's record, they're thinking that that's stuff that was for Detox and it's not.I mean, to me, I think that if it would have been for Detox, it will be on Detox! You know what I'm saying? I think people aren't looking at it like that. The stuff that's for the record is for the record! You're going to hear it when it's on the record. I don't really know about anything that maybe he was considering then decided, "Nah. I'ma use that on another project." I don't – I can't confirm any of that. I've another thing about that, too. I think Dre has the quality of coming out with the best stuff that he can for his artists. I wouldn't think he or any of us have the mentality of, "Oh, let's keep this beat for this and just give you this." It's like, "Nah, let's put the best thing that's going to work out for whatever record."
