seems like there is some divided opinion on 'imagine'. i wouldn't like a whole album of tracks like this, but as far as cinematic, mellow bangers (if such a thing exists) go, its masterful.i could care less for any of the tracks on relapse really. even if you take away eminem, the actual music doesn't really do it for me. bagpipes from baghdad is pretty dope though.the big, dramatic sounding tracks like 'don't get carried away' and 'underground' are undeniably dope in their own way, but it's not really the musical/rythmic direction that i love or would like to hear much of on detox. there's a particular kind of bounce and groove that dre has mostly strayed away from, but i'm confident we'll get to hear it again.dawaun parker has commented that dre's own personal sound (the one we will hear on detox) is much more funk/soul influenced compared to say his eminem or 50 cent works. something to look forward to
"I Like " by Knoc was another creative beat .
dont forget what dj quick said after he heard about 4 hours of detox material :"he's remixing chopin and symphony stuff, insanity !"So we might expect some classical orchestrated stuff...

I want the album to be like a roller coast that never stops but can take me high above the clouds and low below the sea. Ya dig?

The final sound is a reflection of Dr. Dre.......Quote from: tusken RAIDEr on August 12, 2007, 05:58:36 PM

If Dre's going to use samples, then he needs to find more obscure sources and put a creative spin on it, not just add drums.for the second time, Dre didn't produce Stan...regardless, he still mixed the entire album. I can't give him any producing points on Round Here when its already been done before, especially on a project he was overlooking.boohoo, so you can only use a sample once in hip hop You don't seem to quite understand the point I'm making. It didn't take very much skill to make Round Here, even though yes, the instrumental is dope. He took it straight from another song and added some effects. Dr. Dre is a producing legend. Detox is supposed to be a showcase of his producing skills. The song Round Here was not an example of his amazing producing skills. Its something any producer could've done. hell, if he's going to do that then why not just make new songs over the 2001 instrumentals?
