If you had to guess, how much of Relapse was intended for Detox?

[Unforgivable by Sean John]

I say if you had to guess because I don't think anyone outside of the Aftermath camp knows for sure.

But I wouldn't be surprised if about a quarter of the beats on Relapse were intended for Detox at some point.

And I think this because supposedly Detox is going to have some of the most sonically 'advanced' beats we've ever heard. and I'd argue that 3AM has possibly the most 'advanced' beat I have EVER heard on a Hip-Hop record (not saying its the best beat ever though.)

We do know that "We Made You" was made for Relapse though. And obviously Beautiful was.

'Stay Wide Awake' and 'Underground' are so ridiculously next level that I really wouldn't be surprised if they were beats that were a long time in the making.. and were started in a detox session, before relapse really got going. The other beats are a little simpler though so I could see them as being made in a couple of weeks for Relapse.

Either way, Dre's most recent records (think Relapse, Hallelujah, and Refill) have an incredible sonic feel to them, so I'm excited about whatever he puts out next. I believe Catalina and About me were recorded in like 2005 during Rae's aftermath sessions, and psycho by fif and em is from like 2004 apparently, so I wouldn't judge him on those records.

Holy shit. That is fire. Didn't know the beat went to her, but that shit is hot.

i think most if not all the instrumentals were made with Eminem/Relapse in mind

Dre didn't do that one, same sample was used though

Stay Wide Awake was an insane beat, best i've heard IMO from Dre in years.

Aight, wiki says he did it tho. Who did it then? Whoever did that song, and 'Shittin on Em' by Rick Ross... Dre must be pissed at them lol, cuz shit popped off leaked and all the sudden two songs come out with that same sample.

3am is like the most simplistic, repetitive, generic shit ever. easily one of the worst on relapse and not a very good beat at all.

i would hope none of it.

Well... I thought relapse was great. lol. I know at least a few other people did... so yea.

either way, i thought the dre beats on BISD and OB4CL2 sucked, so hopefully those are not reflective of detox at all.

i respect your opinion on whatever you like, but personally i could not listen to relapse again, it was awful to me.. eminem has changed so much.. and been able to get away with so much any other rapper wouldnt of been able to.. the album in my eyes was just a commercial waste aimed at the new era of 13/14 year olds.. who are just starting to believe "cussing" is cool

[jpm]

hopefully none ...

[Muhfukka]

hard to say but im pretty sure some of it was

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah not a good beat at all...most of the album wasnt that good
best beat on there IMO was my mom
