Title: Soopafly Confirms Working On Dr. Dre's "Detox"
Post by: West$ide Boi on August 07, 2011, 11:22:18 AM
The onetime Dogg Pound member and keyboardist for "Natural Born Killaz" adds on the growing list of new and familiar contributors.

Dr. Dre's forthcoming third solo studio album Detox has been in the making for a decade. The Aftermath/Interscope Records release has reportedly included numerous personnel from earlier parts of Dr. Dre's career, including Sir Jinx, DJ Quik, The D.O.C. and others. Another name can be added to this growing list. Today, a press statement from emcee/producer Soopafly confirmed that the Long Beach, California veteran is also contributing to Detox sessions.
 
"I'm in studio working with Dr. Dre again. Making sure this Detox sound got my imprint on it too. You won't be disappointed,” said Soopafly in a press statement.
 
A onetime member of Tha Dogg Pound, Soopafly began his career playing keyboards for Death Row Records hits such as "Natural Born Killaz" by Dre and Ice Cube. Burgeoning into emcee and producer, Soopafly stayed at the label that Dre co-founded to the early '00s, after his solo debut, Like It Or Not was shelved indefinitely. On August 30, Soopafly will release his third solo album, Best Kept Secret, on his own Fly2K Records imprint.

Everyone and their mother have said they've been working on Detox. Shit means nothing if Dre doesn't speak on it.

Daz Dillinger. Now, that's one collabo I would love to see happen again on the production tip bcuz they have created some classics together along with Warren G. That would be dope.

If there is one track where Soopafly is credited at all, I'll be surprised.

Then again, as much as DOC has been involved, I doubt we'll see him credited much.

If Dre was smart, yes, he would have DOC doing lyrics, somebody like Soopafly on keyboards, and a few old school friends on it. For the record I dont think Warren G, Daz, or a few others should be on there. Face it, Warren and Daz have fell the fuck off. Honestly the only people from the Death Row days that should be involved are Snoop, DOC (writing), Soopafly (keys), Kurupt, Nate (if they could make it work without it being dumb) and maybe hit up RBX and Rage each for a verse. Then you also got Eminem, who deserves to be there, and then you probably got Jay-Z and the Game and hopefully they could  leave it at that. No Weezy, no Swizz Beatz, no garbage.

Dre's lookin for a new co-producer in Soopafly.  If he goes with him, this could mean a more G-Funk/West geared direction of the album since that is what Fly usually produces.  As far as the author of the article, Soopafly was never an official member of Tha Dogg Pound.  He's in the DPG clique, but 'Tha Dogg Pound' is Daz & Kurupt, so you have to question the credibility of the article right off the bat since they don't even know who Tha Dogg Pound really is.

Also, the reason Daz and Dre will probably never work together roots back to that 1996 beef with Pac and Dre where Dre was takin credit for producing tracks that Daz produced and he told Pac about it and it made Pac boil.  Dre really is the one in this situation that hasn't been able to forgive Daz and he has just ignored him.

or where Daz claimed Dre was, but Daz did the same to Dre. So Dre probably isn't all that happy after ghost-producing for him, for him then to turn around and claim Dre is stealing tracks from him. Daz's fault, if I was Dre I wouldn't work with him again either.

Daz never took credit for any Dre beats. You Dre stans need to cut it out already. Dre still mad because Daz was the first to expose his ass

lmao i though the same thing. i was like "press release wtf" hahah. it would be definitely good to see soopa back with dre. soopafly is a seasoned and versatile musician and i'm sure dre could benefit from his creativity. i doubt it will happen though. if detox miraculously comes out i doubt it'll feature the music soopafly is supposedly working on.

Sounds like it could be a great thing for Detox if the two of them got down on the album together but I can't help but think of how many records have already been cut for "Detox" that have ended up in the vault or used for someone elses mixtape or album. We've heard that Dre is working with Soopafly, the D.O.C. is getting involved as well and we all saw that video where Dre's backstage with Snoop and the DPG fam but going by what we've seen in recent years it all doesn't really mean anything. I could see all of this just pass and we might get one half-assed leaked track and then, nothing... what ever they did is put on the back burner and Dre will continue to work on Detox with whoever. By the type of music Dre has been involved with recently it doesn't seem like he wanted that westcoast or G-Funk sound at all, it's all been totally opposite of what working with the DPG camp would sound like. So unless Dre's pulling a 180 and going in a totally different direction (I really hope he is), I can see nothing really coming out of all this. I'm not trying to sound negative, I want it to happen, but chances are slim that it will.
