Now that we can safely say that 'Detox' is never coming out, and looking back over what we know about the doomed project, what were, in your opinion, the best recorded tracks and/or proposed tracks for the album?
I always thought that the beat for 'Hey Young World' was incredible and sounded the most 'Dre' to me out of all of the records that leaked:

Aside from this, 'Under Pressure' always knocked for me, and I still play it a lot. With a bit more added to it (i.e. an actual chorus and outro), I think it could have been a lead single or at the very least a good addition to the album.
Also that Bishop Lamont reference track sounded good, and I'm pretty sure that was a Dr. Dre beat as well.

yup topless & the OG shit popped off.
-
the short snippet with the 'still dre' type of instrumental sounded promising( hey young world?)
-
Dr. you got my prescription and its keepin me alive, DOCTOR!
-
Hey young world sounded amazing, still pissed at dre for never releasing the finished version >:(
-
co-sign "Hey Young World" 8)
"Topless" sounded dope as well
-
The entire Big Bang album
-
Big Bang definetely had very nice beats from the good old doc, but imagine a whole album on the level of "Hey Young World" :o 8)
I always thought that if he won't release the fuckin album he couldve at least gave all the beats he made to some rappers who couldve spit over them and included it on their albums. This way we would've had all the tracks and could do an album playlist ourselves. Imagine for example snoop going in on that "Hey Young World" Beat and putting it on one of his albums :o
-
That Hey Young World track bumped!

Wasn't a Dre production tho was it?
-
Word is that first Kendrick single "Weed, Women, Weather" had Damian Marley on it for the Detox version. You know that shit would of been fire!!!!
He had the makings of a great album, he had a lead single with Snoop "Kush" just like his previous two albums, then an Eminem comeback type song just like "Forgot About Dre" with I need a doctor. Then he had "Topless" which was another Nas/Dre classic like "East/West Killaz", "Phone Tap", "Playaz Hustlaz"...
...So much dope shit and I haven't even heard a few of the songs you all have mentioned. I think he really had the makings of another classic.

the "i need a doctor" joint was pretty weak....another one of those sappy cuts that no real hip-hop head wanted 2 hear. "kush" was underrated. dre simply felt it wasnt making enough noise commercially. we coulda easily had another classic by taking the best of the proposed tracks tho.....the crooked i reference track "say dr. dre" was dope as fuck too.

I think Dre must not have liked the reception he was receiving, because he was definitely following the formula of 2001 by releasing a Snoop joint first and an Em joint second. It seemed "Kush" did pretty well, but it deserved to be much bigger. Unlike most people I thought "I Need A Doctor" was a solid second single.

A lot of the beats Dre has produced since the turn of the millenium I guess were considered for the album at one point. I've read before that 'The Set Up' from Obie Trice's first album was considered, as were beats like 'Westside Story' from The Game's debut. Then as time moves on you have production from The Big Bang, and probably some Relapse stuff that Dre probably thought of keeping for himself.
I have a snippet of a beat labelled as 'Big Dusty' (I can't remember how I acquired it), but it sounds huge and it's apparently a leak from the studio when Dre was recording for the album.

i really didn't like I need a doctor when it leaked. i think it's ok now, but it's not really the type of song that fits dre. it's the type of music you expect from eminem nowadays.
kush could have been better, but it does have great instrumental 8)

yeah, there was an article from Scratch magazine (i think?), which listed some instrumentals.
he had a nice sound.
i think bishop lamont mentioned that imagine was considered for Detox, not sure how true that story is. it's a nice song regardless.
as far as relapse is concerned: if you listen closely to the instrumentals, you can hear that most of them seem to be made for Eminem. maybe Crack a bottle was considered for Detox or 50 cent's album ( i think 50 cent said that), nice instrumental though.
can you share that snippet with us? there's a lot of fake audio out there, but it might the snippet of Hey young world

forgot about 'imagine' - definite detox worthy joint right there. mature, mellow, cinematic sound and some crazy bass effects 8)
'big dusty' was from some other producer working with dre, sounded sick though. those drums 8) http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/V2I5oIiJ/file.html
there's this other one from a slim the mobster clip too which a lot of people were feeling http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/C9vs37qC/file.html
from the more recent tracks to have leaked out the labs, scoe's 'sunset strip' is the nicest, even if was never meant for detox.
-
Dr. you got my prescription and its keepin me alive, DOCTOR!
I have re-listened to this track a few times recently, and it goes hard as a club banger, but it's absolutely not the sort of sound that anyone wanted for Detox. It sounds like the sort of track Lady Gaga would do.

If I was Dre I'd just combine the sounds of Chronic and 2001. Like clean futistic and sample heavy with real dj'ing. Maybe even live drums on there too
But Detox ain't NEVER coming out now Dre's connected to Apple. Every single lyric would be condemned by the board/in the media
-
the recipe was a detox track which was later included on GKMC's deluxe edition. that's my favorite song with Imagine.
Wasn't Popped Off supposed to come out of the Detox sessions, too ? If so, it ranks among my favorite songs too, I love that track, the winter sadness sample, and the Chemistry between Dre & T.I..

Imagine
Boss Life
Shit Popped off
