Apparently working with Justin Bieber and Rich Boy is more up his alley :-[ Fuck that...I was looking forward to hearing the 2 or 3 joints they completed back in April/May. I guess these will become the 2010 versions of Gimme 50 Feet and U Can't See Me :monkey_piss:

What up Fam?
I'm almost done with my record, I AM THE WEST. I've been mixing songs and dealing with paperwork all week and I'm down to my last 4 songs to mix. It's bangin'. I think we'll end up wit about 15 songs when it's all said and done and I'm real happy wit it. As a matter of fact, I'm in the Lench Mob Studios writing this blog right now. I'm going to Philly in the morning to promote Lottery Ticket. I get alot of love in Philly...Go Mike Vick!
Many asked about Dr. Dre working on my album. Negative, Dre has been M.I.A. for a few months now. I asked Snoop has he heard from him and he said, no. I can't wait. I gotta turn my shit in by Aug. 20th to make street date...Sept 28th. I'll keep you posted if anythang new develops.
Oh, I did Jimmy Kimmel again and Jamie Foxx radio show. Both were fun, but Jamie's shit was off the chain.
Keep it Gangsta,
Ice Cube

Oh well. In my opinion, these guys are shells of what they used to be. I would have been more excited if I heard they were completing an album in 96.
-
When are you guys gonna realise that Dre aint been hot since 1999? Seriously?
Give it up...Its fucking over.
-
thats funny, they cant get a call back from dre but dude is in the lab fucking around with beiber and sean kingston and shit...didnt ice cube make a comment like "...this aint no white boy rehabilitation." dont that kind of sound like a not so thinly veiled subliminal?

u're fuckin pathetic... dont respond, im not interested in discussion with you (it doesnt lead anywhere), but i just had to express my feeling

Eminem.. yeah thats what i thought when i first heard that track.
-
Too bad.. Album will still be okay though.. Not expectin a classic.
-
I can't say I'm surprised, although I was of the impression that the Dre and Cube tracks had already been recorded.
-
man its a shame...fuck dre
-
Damn wtf dre >:(
-
good news!
-
dissapointing but not surprising in the least.
-
Cube did say dre was on the album=promise

that's fucked up, but what happened during that studio session a few months ago?
the recordings don't disappear suddenly.
ice cube is not telling the whole story
I can't say I'm surprised, although I was of the impression that the Dre and Cube tracks had already been recorded.
yeah
-
Im sure Cube wont dissapoint with the album
-
Dre took it 2 heart wit that diss lol

Same here - it sounded too damn good to be true :D

Can't return Ice Cube's phone calls? Shady and fake.
Not only the Eminem comment, but Cube also disses Wayne on that "I Rep The West" track. If Dre decides to try again this decade and release Detox, he wants Lil Wayne and Jay-Z allover the album. He can't sell the album on his own anymore, so he needs to load it up with Lil Wayne & Jay-Z to try to use their faces and talent to sell it for him.

Im pretty sure he didnt back off the album cause of a little jab like that ? . LOL
-
dre is about his money. working with justin Bieber,lil wayne & jay z means more money in is dre's pocket. ice cube dissed the nigga and eminem and still wants the nigga to work with him.cube was to cocky with this album that nigga came out talking nuff shit dre aint riding with that shit
-
Dre is useless at this point... just let him go people
-
Then y he reachin out to 2 of the wackest over cube?
wtf u talkin bout? first of all i dont know any lil wayne track produced by Dre.. i dont see why Jay-z is wack, and why wouldnt Dre do a track with him (specially how come it would be commercial? under pressure is shit, but its not couse of jay).. 'over cube'? thats like cry

He could 10 years ago. But the new generation of hip hop fans don't even know who Dre is.
-
^Yeah, in 2010 I don't know how well Detox would sell.
-
dont think this has anythin to with the drink the koolaid track. Didnt they go in the studio after cube performed the track coz cube said dre asked him bout it n said it wasnt a diss.

100% accurate. And most of those from the "old school" who know's the man's work doesn't really care anymore due to various letdowns over the years.
Bring on "I am the west". I am looking forward to it like CRAZY!
-
as long as the tracks produced by Quik and EA-Ski are still on here, it's well worth anticipating 8)
-
Dre doesnt need JayZ or Lil Wayne to sell records at all. He has Eminem is his back pocket, who is the highest selling rap artist out right now. Not to mention fans are dying for more Dre/Snoop collabos and Detox being the most anticipated rap album EVER. When the record comes out, it will sell HUGE numbers, regardless.
Now I still think its pretty weak Dre doesnt work with Cube, Snoop and other westcoast artist more often and prefers working with Jay-Z and Eminem.
Dre with Cube or Snoop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dre with Eminem or JayZ
all day any day

bullshit, they do.. as long as they are actually rap fans, and not 'whats hot right now' fans.. Dre can sell 10x more than Jay or Wayne anytime he drop..
same situation was before '2001' dropped, ppl were sayin Dre lost in the game, famous quote sayin by Dre alot in those times that 'Dre fell off'.. nobody would think that he will drop anything good then.. and he dropped a clasic..

I think every new hip-hop fan knows and likes some of The Chronic and most of Chronic 2001 . People still bump Still D.R.E., Forgot About Dre etc. etc.
I think Detox will go 4 x plat at least..
-
Propz to Cube for stickin to his date with or WITHOUT dre, least he stays true and he aint gonna pull a detox on us due to dre's lazy ass.
I'm happy hes keepin the date, album should be in the top 5 of 2010 for sure.
-
we fans can be real bitches sometime, all of us self included, dre can take however much time he wants, and can work with anyone he wants,especially when he feels he has to get his master jimmy permission, he seen his uncle eric had jerry so dre finally got one of those jews to latch onto himself hahaha, dre doesn't want problems only if he's the one spit'n some ghostwritten lyrics about somebody he might have an issue with (ie the chronic "on a street knowledge mission, 2001 "speakin on reunions
Move units, then talk shit and we can do this") west coast fans need to stop succ'n fat dicc, here some music that you like roll with it,you ain't got to succ off an artist to dig music you know haha, cube album should be ight, and detox should be cool when it drops and i just hope my daughter won't be saying daddy would have liked this album if he had a chance to hear it yell
-
Lol just like I keep sayin Dre has lost his fire his passion.....it is over I'm done with dre period....he is a straight up mark and I. Know he looks on this forum.....hope you readin Dre ya old as wanna be rapper....you aren't really a producer either......cuz everyone has had some input on ur music u can't do it alone......I just flushed my respect for you you down the toilet with the biggest log of shit I could muster up!......try goin and slangin some wreckin cru's greatest hits cd's cuz ur respect points are fallin as fast as lebrons in cleveland ya better become roomates and figure out what the fuck you gon do. Andre. Biotch Young.....I better not see you on Rosecrans cuz I will tell u personally.......
-
Jay and wayne are wack...like poster said...snoop, dre, cube & rakim >>>dre,justin, timber, jay, em, wayne, game
-
dre can take however much time he wants
not when he's working on someone else's project, someone who is actually trying to make a deadline
-

i think Cube respect Dre enough that he could even delay an album for Dre to finish his work on it (according to interviews Cube speakin bout Dre)

id rather just cube release the album without dre, and we get the music when its due. dre's pushbacks are notorious

so you want I Am the West to end up like Detox? Lol.
-
Whether Dre has beats on it or not, I'm copping the album. Though the fact that we haven't heard Cube over a Dre beat in ten years is ridiculous. Now would've been a great time for them to cook something up together. I get the whole "working with new artists" thing that Dre is known for, but Justin Bieber, Rich Boy...instead of Ice Cube? Come on son.

I think you're trippin' man, dre still has a huge buzz imo, at least for hip hop fans. All the eminem/game/50cent fans hear about dre in every albums. That's already alot of potential customers for detox.

really? Go talk to your average teenager. They all know who Eminem is. Most of them don't know who Dre is. His album will only sell if it gets the proper push from the media channels.

I don't know man...Dre has sort of lost his audience imo
Now the chronic is one of my all time favorite albums, along w/ 2001 as being very good. However I really don't have any anticipation anymore for Detox. I only read the rumors on here like he is working w/ Justin Bieber (I don't even know who that is), kobe (I don't know who that is) and then I heard some shit like lil wayne and lil kim or some shit. Now I don't mind Jay Z, but if it is full of all these other guys I certainly won't be buying this shit. Hell, if it is full of new west I wouldn't be buying the shit.
I'm curious as to how many Dre fans are left that still listen to new music and would actually buy the album. I personally can't stand new rap...in fact most of the time I would rather stick an ice pick in my ear than listen to the garbage produced today. There is a very slim chance that I will be buying Detox...it is gonna have to be amazing!
I think there is a lot of Dre fans just like me. I'm 30 years old. I grew up in the prime of the west coast. Most people my age who grew up listening to westcoast rap...they don't listen to it anymore. I don't think it will be so easy for him to have sales this time around.
-
whatevr - long as we get that new cube album!
-
Do you think Dre will save the best beats for himself? Did you hear anything in the past 5 years that is banging?, or worth listening to for days? I think Dre wont sell much records due to the fact that niggas download. He will work with beiber because the lil nigga got fans whom buy records. I still think a Dre cd will be different from all his shit and shit thats on right now. It has to be or he can walk off in to the sunset wrinkled and old with no Detox. INSPIRATIONAL or anything can be different. Is Dre a gangsta anymore?
-
I think ICE CUBE's album will go hard without Dr Dre, I respect Cubes hustle.
-
how hard is it? u jus say to dre give me a beat and send it whatever thru email or sutn but he lazy in doin that as well
-

On point. Although producing the vocal requires Dre to be in the studio with Cube, but even so that (should not) take more than 3-4 days, and I'm including the mixing process here.
I'm waiting for the Dr.Dre dickriders to justify this one, they always seem to have an answer for Dre's lack of involvement.
-
I'm not bothered by Dre's absence. As I've said, Dre is basically retired at this point. Sure, he'll produce here and there for his label mates, but he really doesn't produce outside his own label anymore. He might also have been disappointed with the results of the raw vocal sessions he had with Cube. You ever contemplate that? Ice Cube is not what he used to be either, you know? Maybe Dre thought Cube's performance was wack, but doesn't want to return Cube's call and tell him that.
Regardless, what would be more disappointing to me would be if Cube didn't get political on this album. This country is suffering through a bad economy, bad jobs numbers, people in the hood are desperate for relief...it's time for the old Ice Cube to come back and get MAD again. But if he doesn't and he comprosmises with some corny pop music which is in vogue right now, that would be a much bigger let down to me than the absence of some Dr. Dre production.
-
Part bout cube sellin out true but dre was on ems album sn y not cubes? Who was there b4 em and jimmy?

True....I got brothers around your age and they were heavy into rap when they were younger. But with family and kids they have moved on.

Let's be real, fellas; unless Dre has the most monster single we've seen in years; like up there with The Real Slim Shady, In Da Club, Candy Shop, A Millie, etc., he'd be lucky to sell a million.
If he can make some monster ass, classic, "go down in history" music, he'll do well; but like Rapsodie said, the average kid whose 13-16 (a huge amount of the album sales) don't know Dre well enough to go out & cop his album.
-
And? Cube don't need Dre to make a good album.
-
one thing that is weird is ppl sayin Dre choose makin tracks with Justin Beiber, Lil Wayne over Cube, when nothin like that ever happened and has never been planned.. its ppl bein tired of waitin for detox sayn that it will have tracks like that anyway so its not worth waitin, that they wont be so pissed waitin for it.. its kinda sad

Sad? Maybe so, but if you look at it from a realistic point of view, Detox would sell much more copies if you have a lead singel with Justin Bieber over Ice Cube. So that sort of speculation is just as valid as people claiming Detox will be the best thing since butter on bread.

not a dre bill walton at all,but dre is a perfectionist to a fault, me personally i wouldn't want to fucc with the equal, just do yo own thang, one day the west will realize shit can be ill and move on without that equal yell
-
Part bout cube sellin out true but dre was on ems album sn y not cubes? Who was there b4 em and jimmy?
there before doesn't mean shit, he also could look at it as "well cube walked out on me before when i was in nwa over business" so dre could look at it as does it make good business for his master jimmy iovine!, jimmy loves em remember hahaha, plus he probably ain't to happy about those lines cube put in the song and his feelings got hurt :'( hahhaha i'm just saying BOX FOR LEADER! YELL

No it wouldn't. Do you honestly think Bieber's fans are going to be interested in a Dr. Dre album?

True, but I'd say a large amount of sales come from kids. If not then Wayne, Drake & Eminem wouldn't do as well as they do.

If he was featured on a singel- without a doubt.
-
youre a fool if you dont think detox is going to sell millions
it has more potential than any other album to potentially be the biggest album of all time. its got more hype behind it than the 2010 miami heat. nobody knows how good the heat are gona be this year, but you know damn well they are gona sell out every game at home and on the road just based on hype alone.

maybe 'sad' was a bad word, but u get my point..
No, i dont think a single with Bieber would go further than a one wit Cube, this fact matters only for the real rap fans, couse they want to get somethin/someone real.. so in that point single wit Cube would be better.. but for the ones that follow 'whats hot right now' it wouldnt matter.. im sure Dre would bring somethin really dope that many ppl would follow it would be mainstream and dope, so fans of Bieber or Wayne right now, would go for Dre, since his music would probably hit to em too.. its not like fans of Bieber will be with him for long time, since hes just one season artist..
-
i think dre wants to leave free-masonry and they've basicaly said to him, u aint releasing an album or we leak gay pics of you or sutn with jerry heller, lol kidn
anyways back to the topic...bring on i am the west, as long as e-a-ski and jinx are on it then thats enough for me
-
Who gives a fuck if it sells or not ? there's plenty of dope shit out there right now that aint selling, and dr.dre wont make ice cubes album. Ice Cube targets his fan base and thats who he does music for, and its done for the love of hip hop, and you better believe cube showed up lyricaly, you cant tell me that shit with jay z was tight< cube would murder a Dre track, But its cool cause Sir Jinx got production on this one thats who you better look out for!!
-
Another slap in the face for us old N.W.A fans.
The next news will be Ice Cube will not be featured on Detox.
Bravo, Dre just bravo.

Ice Cube targets his fan base and thats who he does music for, and its done for the love of hip hop, and you better believe cube showed up lyricaly, you cant tell me that shit with jay z was tight< cube would murder a Dre track, But its cool cause Sir Jinx got production on this one thats who you better look out for!!
thank you!
besides cube and jinx/pooh/boogiemen>>>>>cube and dre.....
I think it would be really interesting to hear both. Ice Cube got a lot of great history with all the producers mentioned in the post above, but when it comes to Dr.Dre and Ice Cube... I mean, N.W.A will (and have) gone done in history as one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time, so of course alot of fans would love to hear the old legends on the same track (rapping and producing respectively).
But a slap in the face is just a common factor when it comes to looking out for new Dr.Dre music these days. I say, bring on "I am the west" ASAP. I need some good new westcoast shit to bump!

This album without a doubt is bein coached by the upper elite white executives at the Interscope building which include their leader Jimmy Iovine. If it drops, don't expect to see a fresh crop of new faces like when Dre unleashed Snoop on "The Chronic" and Hittman on "Dr. Dre 2001." This is going to be a roster of the who's who in 2010 Allstar lineup which includes picking vocals from Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Rhiana, Drake, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Usher, Will.i.am, The Dream, Akon, and T.I. The executives' way of a Dre imprint is throwing 50 Cent or Eminem on there, a Snoop track, and if we're really lucky The Game will get a small verse or a hook.
This is the same company who dropped Busta because his tracks weren't commercial enough on his last album and he did cuts with the top faces including Wayne at the time. This is the same people who wouldn't release Bishop Lamont or Rakim. It's already a done deal, if the album gets released, it's going to use MTV as an outlet to re-promote the 'Dre brand' through half hour specials, classic videos, interviews, and Detox previews. Then ship one single out to the radio with Jay-Z or a different big name on it to get Dre's name back out there.
Expect to see something like Jay-Z on the first single, 50 Cent on the second single, and Eminem or Wayne on the third to push the sales. I wouldn't be surprised to see a crossover artist on there like a David Guetta on there as well. Don't expect to see Dogg Pound, Xzibit, Cube, Warren G, DJ Quik, Bishop, Knoc, or any upstarts like featuring a lot of Eastwood, Young Keno, or Ya Boy.
This is why Pac was the greatest, because he could keep it homegrown and put anyone from Richie Rich to E-40 to Daz to Kadafi on the album and sell millions. "All Eyez On Me" still withstands the hand of time as the greatest album ever recorded IMO.
And to end this discussion, if Dre was the Magic Johnson like some of y'all say, he wouldn't need this corporate all star team behind him to rebuild his image and pick out his guest appearances for him -- he would be the one doing it. Drop a double album and keep it mostly West if you're the GOAT. It wouldn't matter who he put on there as long as it was good music. "I don't get dropped by the label, I drop the label."

Although the "detox" album has a lot of hype, people are forgetting that it's too easy to download an album now for the average person.
It will sell great, don't get me wrong - but i'm not expecting some Michael Jackson Thriller shit in this day and age. Dre will see a lot of sales lost through piracy, and each day he delays it and tries to "perfect" it, it's getting easier and easier to pirate songs.

Well from what I can tell he was livin good in a Poor Area (I've seen it before). Apparently he bussed to School in the Rich Neighborhoods. (Source: Straight Outta L.A.) and would be in Compton majority of the time. In the N.W.A Worlds Most Dangerous VH1 Doc, u can see him at the house. When he was in his N.W.A days, he was drapped in Dodger gear. lol I was thinking Nigga on Crip on me?

Cube elaborated a little more on the DRE MIA situation...
From Allhiphop.com
In related news, Ice Cube is preparing to release his new album, I Am the West.
He recently went public and revealed that Dr. Dre would not be featured on the album, simply because Cube cannot get in contact with his former N.W.A. group member.
"I don’t know, but I don’t feel that bad because I talked to Snoop and he ain’t heard from him either," Ice Cube told AllHipHop.com. "It ain’t just me. This is a man that everybody in the music industry is trying to get production out of, so he has to pick and choose what he can do because he still has pressure to put his record out. That was never a motivating factor for me, my record was done and it was gonna come out with or without him, I’m the only one that has to show up."
Ice Cube's new album I Am the West is due in stores on September 28th on his own imprint, Lench Mob Records.
