Not that it will happen anyways , but 50 is THE deadline because that is officially ancient . Why has he never officially announced anything about retiring ?
-
"Detox" ain't never comin' out.
-
if Dre wanted to cement his legacy in rap as being the only rapper to drop 3 for 3 classic LP's then he'd be smart to drop detox before 2016. he can pretty much make it a "dr dre raps 1 verse on 7 songs but the CD is 19 songs with 3 skits deep" type of album and he'll sell at least 3 million copies at long as Eminem is one of those many guests.

i'd love to hear the song Slaughterhouse did with Dre but i'm afraid it sucks based on the fact it hasn't been released yet...
-
Yeah i gave up long ago. Its a real shame. And its tru he wouldn't even have to rap on it much for it to be a success. Then again, he dosent seem to produce anymore so i guess that he would?..

wow ppl still care about this shit and the west coast is fucking POPPING right now.

Exactly. Do we really need a new album from Dre? Not in my opinion.

Putting out an album at 48 or 49 is basically the same. We're not talking about some MC trying to lyrically represent and hold his own with the youth. Dre can do Detox at 60 as far as I'm concerned. It's about production. However, right now, I don't hold out much hope for that project ever coming out.

im not saying i wouldnt download then cop if it was dope...im just saying at this point it really dont matter.

Co-sign! Fo Sure.
All this "Detox Related" material was shitty rap music (mainstream, nothing special).

That was the old era.. hip-hop was young then. I still remember it was on the Rhyme and Reason documentary that Too Short was retiring, he was only like 29. They showed footage of his retirement party and everything. This was when he came out with his magnum opus "Gettin It", which is still one of my favorite tracks of all time. That was his swan song.
Since then he's released numerous albums and still doing it.
We are in a new era now where rappers can be like the Rolling Stones and still tour and release albums even as old men. Trust me, The Dre's, the Eminem's, the Snoop's, these guys are all gonna still be roccin it when they are old and grey. You even see rappers like Mackelmore or Royce that don't even have their first gold record till they are like 30.
It's not like back in the day when Eminem's people were almost trying to make Em sound like he was 24 when SSLP dropped when he was really 26. You can be 40 and come out with your debut nowadays.

As long as you got it, haha.

I don't think that's the case. Dre knows that people will get all geeked up on whatever he puts out. I Need a Doctor was an indication of that. But Dre is making a shit ton of money from the Beats By Dre headphones, and Cube had a point about how Dre could just make nine figures off of that rather than lock himself in the studio for months and then make probably just a few million off of an album. He would have to do it for the love of the game, or if he just had that many ideas for beats that he had to make them.

I don't really care either way. If he never drops Detox, it's a few decades of dope Dr. Dre production I can go back & bump if I just gotta hear some Dre shit. Of course if it does drop I will go out & buy it & enjoy it. It doesn't matter to me the age of an artist if it's dope, it's dope period. I have a feeling he's working on it though but that's just me. If he is, it's good he's tightened up his circle & ain't nobody talking about it. That was the mistake in the past & why all this anticipation was built up on Detox. You had writers, musicians, co-producers all in the media (all the songs are amazing, he's a song or two away, this & that) made the hype too much to deal with. But now that Dre isn't coming out saying he's working or that he's not working on it, makes me think it's in progress. Now rather it actually comes out is another thing but I think he's working.

More importantly, with selling headphones, there is a little less pressure. With "Detox", he needs to create something along the lines of the great projects he has put together before and I'm not sure the environment is right for that anymore. People have such specific expectations regarding it and anything outside of that, just won't do for them. There is a tendency to rate entertainment in accordance with expectations.
One of the core problems with established stars is that people want the same formula over and over again. People are concerned more with who is featured on it and how much it does or doesn't sound like the classic Dr. Dre sound that anything else is unacceptable.
-
its 2014... Dr.Dre is not the best at it anymore...
-
who cares!!!!!!!!!!! iwhat can dre really bring to the table now ? dre know he can't really bring nothing to the table as a 50 year old rapper thats why he's not dropping detox... people think they're gonna get some crazy amazing rap album and dre know's that not the case so he's no trying to fuck up his legacy.
this is dre today. some of you just need to except the fact that dre is down as a rapper and move on.

I think this is the perfect time to do it. Why? KENDRICK LAMAR! This is the guy that was missing. He already had the usual suspects but he needed a NEW cat to come along and use to ride the album. Similar to what he did with Snoop and Eminem in the first two. Of course, you also include the cats from the past but I think the time is now. Kendrick is a HUGE reason why this shit should come out. Just can't see it not happening.
-
I think if anything Kendrick would have the roll Emeniem had on 2001, a newer heavy buzzing artist come through & make a couple big records but I can see Jon Conner, Dre's new artist being that Snoop/Hitman piece.
