Thinking of this also brings to mind other names like "Helter Skelter," "Oh My God," "Thy Kingdom Come," "Not These Niggaz Again," and "Murder Weapon." There's a definate pattern there.

You're totally on point - I hadn't even thought of some of those others. It's like the team put more effort and emphasis on a title than the finished product. But the titles themselves get old.

Another artist releasing "Detox" would be pointless. People want Detox because it's a Dr. Dre album, not because it's called "Detox". You really think people are gonna be like "Oh my God! Detox is out!". "But it's a Sir Mix-A-Lot album, not Dr. Dre". "Who cares? It's DETOX, man! I'm so excited!".

I really wish another artist would release an album by that name. I would kill if Daz put out an album called Detox.

that would be a bitch move

How so?

Taking another rappers album name? How is that not a bitch move? It'd be like someone naming their album Illmatic.

then imagine Nas saying his album is going to be called Illmatic and someone stole the name before he could release it. That's a bitch move anyway you look at it

No, the 3,968th topic on who you want to be on Detox thread is probably the lamest. This thread actually has some merit if you try to think about it.

I see what you're saying; by giving it a name, Dre given it a life of it's own.

Exactly. The name made the album more real then it actually is. In reality there is probably very little material that has been created that will actually appear on Detox. But everyone is talking about it like it's already being completed (even after all these years).
