Soopafly Confirms Working On Dr. Dre's "Detox"

[West$ide Boi]

The onetime Dogg Pound member and keyboardist for "Natural Born Killaz" adds on the growing list of new and familiar contributors.

Dr. Dre's forthcoming third solo studio album Detox has been in the making for a decade. The Aftermath/Interscope Records release has reportedly included numerous personnel from earlier parts of Dr. Dre's career, including Sir Jinx, DJ Quik, The D.O.C. and others. Another name can be added to this growing list. Today, a press statement from emcee/producer Soopafly confirmed that the Long Beach, California veteran is also contributing to Detox sessions.
 
"I'm in studio working with Dr. Dre again. Making sure this Detox sound got my imprint on it too. You won't be disappointed,” said Soopafly in a press statement.
 
A onetime member of Tha Dogg Pound, Soopafly began his career playing keyboards for Death Row Records hits such as "Natural Born Killaz" by Dre and Ice Cube. Burgeoning into emcee and producer, Soopafly stayed at the label that Dre co-founded to the early '00s, after his solo debut, Like It Or Not was shelved indefinitely. On August 30, Soopafly will release his third solo album, Best Kept Secret, on his own Fly2K Records imprint.

DRE's starting to have the right people around him

[Teddy Roosevelt]

Everyone and their mother have said they've been working on Detox. Shit means nothing if Dre doesn't speak on it.

Better question is: Who HASN'T worked on Detox?

+100.  Follow up question:  "why should people still care about Detox after all of these years?"

Because ONLY Dre can save us

I actually wrote a verse for Detox.

Daz Dillinger. Now, that's one collabo I would love to see happen again on the production tip bcuz they have created some classics together along with Warren G. That would be dope.

If there is one track where Soopafly is credited at all, I'll be surprised.

Then again, as much as DOC has been involved, I doubt we'll see him credited much.

If Dre was smart, yes, he would have DOC doing lyrics, somebody like Soopafly on keyboards, and a few old school friends on it. For the record I dont think Warren G, Daz, or a few others should be on there. Face it, Warren and Daz have fell the fuck off. Honestly the only people from the Death Row days that should be involved are Snoop, DOC (writing), Soopafly (keys), Kurupt, Nate (if they could make it work without it being dumb) and maybe hit up RBX and Rage each for a verse. Then you also got Eminem, who deserves to be there, and then you probably got Jay-Z and the Game and hopefully they could  leave it at that. No Weezy, no Swizz Beatz, no garbage.

nate dogg is dead.

How did Soopafly put Dre on the spot in that video?

[love33]

Dre's lookin for a new co-producer in Soopafly.  If he goes with him, this could mean a more G-Funk/West geared direction of the album since that is what Fly usually produces.  As far as the author of the article, Soopafly was never an official member of Tha Dogg Pound.  He's in the DPG clique, but 'Tha Dogg Pound' is Daz & Kurupt, so you have to question the credibility of the article right off the bat since they don't even know who Tha Dogg Pound really is.

Also, the reason Daz and Dre will probably never work together roots back to that 1996 beef with Pac and Dre where Dre was takin credit for producing tracks that Daz produced and he told Pac about it and it made Pac boil.  Dre really is the one in this situation that hasn't been able to forgive Daz and he has just ignored him.

If I Need A Doctor is saving us then hip hop truly is dead
