Dawaun Parker said Kingdom Comes should've been a Dr. Dre / Jay-Z project

He's just said that on twitter 5 minutes ago... deleted now  

[GangstaBoogy]

He mixed the whole album and produced like 4 songs...that's the most anyone (not named marshall) can expect out of dre these days

& I say Detox "should've" already been released. But that word holds no weight.

He gave jay a cd full of beats didn't he? Theres still some dope joints on that album, the title track is straight

Yeah. I heard he gave Jay MAD beats & Jay only picked four of them.

That's the ego of Jay-Z; considering nobody was saying Dre "fell off" back when that album came out. He was still on that "OH SHIT, DRE PRODUCED THIS?" kinda rep.

"Kingdom Come" should have it's own appreciation thread. That album was really ill.

I'm just too lazy to make it lol.

And too add to this thread....around the time Kingdom Come dropped...Dre was starting to have doubts about Detox...so he gave most of the beats to other artists...them 4 beats he gave Jay-z for Kingdom Come were on point.....Dre shoulda dropped Detox a month later imo. He had just did 50 album...Games album...Kingdom Come was the icing on the cake....had we heard Detox back then, I know none of us would have been dissapointed at all. Dre was on a roll. He should have took his chances

So did Dawaun Parker mean Dre had an album worth of finished tracks with verses too and he just gave the lot away!

I don't know average CD is like 80mins...unless Dre gave him a DVD....imo he probably gave Jay-z a CD worth of beats....most likely 18 beats

Tooken from entertainment weekly website:

''It's more in the vein of The Black Album than The Blueprint,'' he says. ''I've been experimenting with things, different types of music.'' In addition to Timbaland, Jay-Z has called on the production skills of Kanye West and Dr. Dre. He also hopes to reteam with Rick Rubin. ''Oh, and actually, Chris Martin produced a track on there,'' he adds casually. Yes, Coldplay's Chris Martin. ''We met at a charity dinner and just really kept in touch. He sent me these beautiful chords for this song called 'Beach Chair.' I had Dre put some drums on it. It's really, really incredible.''


I didn't know Dre did the drums on Beach Chair?
