Sounds like April fools... RNS were all found guilty last year for copyright infringement.  They did all the big releases for the past ten years and I doubt they would be fucking around with something like Detox when they're gong to jail.  Thanks tho  ::)

not gonna happen...they are still recording for it right? final mix & mastering & mad amounts of promotion puts the release at least a couple of months off, assuming it is actually about finished, not 'finished' like for the past year.

They've been doing that for ten years non-stop apparently.  I won't believe a release date until it comes from the horses mouth which is Jimmy or Dre.  We'll see if drdre.com announces anything.

True. Although if you look at that twitpic closely, it actually looks like it was taken at a store by some white kid (No racial discrimination intended.) So if they posted that sign in their store, would it be possible that it's because that is the date they were given ? Just a thought...

I heard that if you buy the deluxe edition, Jimmy Iovine will personally deliver it and also bake banana bread for you with a beats by dre branding

That little bitch Iovine sold out.  If 2Pac came back to life he'd beat the shit out of him before moving onto Daz for bootlegging his music and ripping off.  Daz would have the crowbar to the face for a bonecrushing of the century!  Oh, if Eazy-E came back to life he'd bitch slap your momma.

its kind of encouraging if there's actually some merchandising for it with a specific date. who knows...april would need to be a giant promotional month if it's true. still seems like june is the most realistic timing, assuming it is actually dropping anytime soon.

chillin? :-X

I hope so. May 2nd is already a month from now. "Chillin" and "I Need A Doctor" are masterpieces. I can't wait to hear more songs! There's no reason to save your money for other releases.

It's gotta be gettin close.  Common sense tells us they aren't goin to waste all this money on paying radio stations to play "Kush" and "I need a Doctor," The grammy appearances, the Dr. Pepper Commercials, the HP Commercials....if they can't generate enough buzz off all this stuff to where they think it's gonna sell and make them enough money to where they are making a PROFIT, then it will never come out.  It's pretty much now or never.  They can't really drag the buzz out to Christmas to try to get the huge November drop so I'm thinkin if it doesn't drop by September forget about it, shit ain't happenin

i think the promotion so far, even with the 2 tracks, big budget videos and appearances, it's still just preliminary stuff. reason being the album still isn't finished yet! there's probably some impatience going on behind the scenes and they aint gonna really push it until the music is really done, actual singles set. it'll probably come down to some sort of deadline from the label or just shelving it till next year. bishop, slim the mobster, kendrick, the list goes on. dre will keep going through writers and versions of the album until jimmy sets a final date.

If that's the case then it's prob not gonna happen because you and I both know in today's industry people will just download all those singles burn them and play them out in 2-3 weeks then forget about it and move on to the next hot track of the minute.  He's gonna have to make a push right now because his small buzz will die off quick and Dre ain't gettin any younger.  Plus that rumor about someone in Aftermath leaking his music out.  He's gotta make it happen now even Jimmy will get to a point where he realizes that the investment isn't worth the outcome (see Busta Rhymes)
