Title: Detox to have an eastcoast sound ??????
Post by: dameons on November 02, 2010, 11:03:12 PM
"Both Busta Rhymes and Dr. Dre are gonna be dropping," Nottz promised. "Dre is moving like a snail, but [the album will come out]. He's gonna drop, I know it. Dre played me so many records, it's a lot of records that has you thinking, "He's rapping over this?" And it's dope sh*t. He played at least about 40 records and each one of them joints were like East Coast sounding stuff. And it was crazy, East Coast underground sh*t. Like, if he drops this, it'll be over." (SOHH)

Dre did say he's been listening to alot of Mobb Deep and Wu Tang, but the only thing East Coast sounding he's dropped was "Death To My Enemies" even Raekwon didn't get those grimey East beats. Be interesting though, new sound for Dre

At this point, I don't care what kind of sound it has,
just as long as it is NOT the following:

sparse, plodding drums, with just a kick drum and an echoey snare
with a few piano notes, and some dark keyboard string stabs

If it's an album full of the same thing we've been hearing for 5 years, I'll scream.
I would literally rather it be 80s Bulgarian disco-trance or some shit, ANYTHING except the plodding slow piano stuff.

Maybe he'll strip the sound down even further, so it's just one huge repeating clap sound

I like how dre spend like 2 years in the middle of the 2000's studying music theory, and then comes out of it making the kind of beats you described. I guess despite his knowledge of music theory, his ear for good music has been totally corrupted. If he thinks that 3 piano notes and 2 bars of plodding drums looped for 4 minutes straight is good music then honestly Detox might not be that hot. Maybe he needs that legendary 'ear' he had in the 90s back, more so than he needs Scott Storch back...

but his instrumentals were always simple

Sounds like he has heard the negative feedback and has changed directions . The beats will be hard , mixed with " I've been doing this for years , I'm a legend , not a gangster anymore but i will shoot you" lyrics ...Guaranteed

His genius before was picking really dope samples and having them replayed and mixed fantastically, and adding bits and pieces, or combining other samples with them

He can still make dope beats, but it must take a LOT longer because instead of going through records that already exist and picking out dope bits, he MAKES loads of records and then shifts through them for the best ones

Also, when you replay a sample, you can still copy the funk and swing of the original sample, because the sample was the jumping off point... but when you start by making a slow kick and clap, then it's plodding to begin with
Title: Re: Detox to have an eastcoast sound ??????

2nd beat in the latest beats ad = east coast style drums. also, beat in the HP ad with stat quo.

so you didn't like the beat of Deja Vu for example?

I like some of them, and he still does replay samples sometimes or he makes ones that sound different, it's just he seems to want to make a LOT of those piano ones, so I hope Detox isn't like all piano ones

Though maybe he's been saving like 12 incredible piano ones specially for Detox, so who knows

on the money. great insight.

... but there are plenty of other producers who make beats from scratch, in a quarter the time dre can. Also, those producers will develop a great beat, rather than making a million simple ones, and then picking the best one.

See that's his problem - why START with a plodding kick and snare? I was listening to Hallelujah a minute ago, and yea its a dope beat, but the snare is just so plodding and deliberate that it drags down the beat and is awkward for bishop to flow over. Bishop still flows sick, but the drums are the weak point of that song.

If Dre is really that bad at composition, and needs samples and session players as jumping off points that badly.... i mean can't he can't just turn on his music production software, open up a stock funk drum beat, and work from there? I mean no offense, but Dre's drums used to be his strong point, now they are his weak point. Though I liked some of the drums on relapse.... only some tho, lol.

Yeah I could never get into that track, was still West Coast influenced though. The joints he gave Jigga and Nas weren't very East Coast. The closest he's come is probably some of his early aftermath beats, the mafioso firm era. But recently there's been only 1 East Coast joint, Death To My Enemies and I gotta admit that shit goes hard!

Either way we've had about 5 Detox leaks, and everyone has had a different sound. Topless, Shit Popped Off, Under Pressure, Turn Me On, Flashy. None of these tracks really flow together, so he's definitely been searching for that sound

The production and mixing on 'The Infamous' was phenomenal. But really Dre? I mean, I guess I can't knock him for being into old school Mobb Deep the most, but... i mean there is similar music to what they made that i consider just as valuable.... oh well. lol.

maybe dr. dre has been releasing Detox thru workin with other producers under the table.  maybe he could've worked with Jeezy on "lose my mind" or a couple of tracks with Nipsey on his shit he's been releasin, he could've been workin with some things with Kanye or Swagger Mane or co produced some tracks with Swizz Beatz, Niggarachi, or Lexx Lugar.  Maybe that's whut Nottz and everybody was talking about when they say they've heard  Detox?  I might aswell throw out Tha Dogg Pound's name out there too on some Direction/Mixing type shit or song guidance.  Really, Detox isn't an album but it's a sound.


i mean after all, we're used to being under the impression that Dre do boom bap piano string hip hop and having that sound that they have over there (that Bishop Lamont/Eminem shit).  but for some1 who's been this dedicated thru all of this time has surely developed some sort've musical skill.  I'm sure Premier and 9th Wonder can really produce some music, Quik & Terrace ain't the only niggaz that play instruments. 


Some songs I've heard on the radio over the past few years have had some similarities to a Dr. Dre production (I mean really noticable like some of Beyonce's records and Alicia Keyes records; of course I could be wrong about those particular two ladies but I know I ain't far off the bat).  Dr. Dre could be looking for that Dr. Dre he's supposed to be (and I say that lightly).

Detox is going to be a wack fest......because hip hop is about having a persona and a greatvoice and dre doesn't have that.....all he has is his beats his voice was never anything special he always was able to get by on the strength of his beats...He couldn't make a dope record even if he tryed to .....everyone who is waiting on detox is like waiting on
Gary Coleman to put out a dope hip hop album..........

but yeah above post is right.(BigWorm)

Umm though Detox,I'm sick of hearing all this "It's coming soon"what the world ending?
Geez even though some of you guys are hating on him right now,9/10 y'all gon cop it when it does come out.Dr.Dre should have kept us happy in the mean time and should have released some "Dr.Dre and the family" compilations similar in idea to those P.Diddy ones.He could use his bass players,keyboard players,samples,2nd pair of ears,Dr. Dre 2(This one is gonna hold us down later on with ads promoting Detox as well).He had along time to release this and that,I know hes what a "perfectionist" and all that but still.

I'm surprised I haven't heard the nWo is stopping Dre releasing Detox,yet lol

but yeah above post is right.
