Dude can't produce shit anymore, the old Dre would have put out a "how we do" or "in the club" without selling out and still get number one today. But dude lost Well according to 99% on this board "2001" was a mainstream album, making Dre a mainstream artist.Why you thought that Dre was going to "stick to his roots" opposed to being a mainstream artist is BEYOND me. You think he fucked with Shady because he wanted to "give him a chance"? He saw potential in millions upon millions of dollars. Dre's always been about the bread.Luckily for me, I fuck with mainstream music. I would love for somebody to explain their "ideal Detox" to me. Then after you copy & paste the tracklisting to "2001", I'll just sit back & chuckle. Mwuahaha. Dre does stick with his roots, he just recycles and reuses pieces of his old sound and combines them with new drums, etc. to make a "new sound." Also, I don't think he's always been about the bread, like he still looks for guys that have the capability to rap well (like Slim, 50 before he sold out, Snoop, now Kendrick Lamar.) He's somewhat sold out, but at the same time, he's still the same Dre.

The problem with this is it conforms. Dre never showed signs of conforming before. HE decided whats hot and the industry (at least the west) basically follows. Instead of doing that right now, he's conforming. Alex Da Kid? Really?Airplanes (B.o.B)Airplanes Part 2 (B.O.B)Love The Way You Lie (Eminem)Castle Walls (T.I.)Coming Home (Diddy)I Need A Doctor (Dr. Dre)What's the difference? There all Alex Da Kid productions, with "good mainstream" beats and catchy female hooks. That's 100% conforming. That's the problem with this track.

That's the problem with this track.This track has the potential to attract people to pay attention to Dr. Dre that would have never done so before. Now if the whole album is like this track I'll be very disappointed.

That's the problem with this track.And of the above songs, I thing I Need A Doctor may be the worst...also, Lupe has a new ALex Da Kid joint as well, and it blows I Need a Doctor away

He could have came with a mainstream successful joint without alienating his fan base (somethin' like In Da Club beat). Watch, this album is gonna be very mainstream

That's Interscope's biggest challenge and the reason they decided to make a song like "i need a doctor" the first or second single. Obviously they don't think millions of people would buy this album regardless. How do you promote a 45 year old rapper to people who buy records (teenagers)? If he actually does end up selling millions of Detox, that would be unprecedented.
