the sound of detox

[TMS]

i think the "newest" style dre beats we have heard are higher, outta control, and outta control remix. If you notice Higher or Outta Control don't really have those typical Dre drums - they have a heavy shaker and clap/snare rhythms. The song Encore also has this "new" style - it has more emphasis on the subtleties of the drums, not the more hard hitting and direct that dre has had in the past. There is also a more of an emphasis on texture-heavy sounds in Dre's latest beats - for example that distortion guitar he has used on songs like Mosh and Encore and the high pitched strings that come in on Higher.

I'm guessing Dre will come from leftfield for Detox...but if I had to bet on the direction I would say that it will be highly layered drum sounds and patterns like that we have been hearing lately. I'm not sure about the melodies, but I know they are going to be very interesting and fresh.

ditto...we should all stop wondering and just wait for it.
