We all know Dre can't write his own shit, and his production has been below par for a while. Most of his crazy beats were created with Storch/Elizondo/Batson. We all know what happened to Storch but what happened to the rest? Any confirmations that he will be working with them on Detox?
Dre still knows how to mix a record perfectly, can't deny that though.
-
he was working with Storch for like a year + on stuff/Detox recently, so there should be loads of recent Dre/Storch material in the vaults, probably never to leave :-\
i guess Under Pressure is an example, but the Die Hard leak is another. Storch has reworked his sound to be more electronic and changed up his main keyboard too. I'd be surprised if no tracks from these sessions aren't on the final album, IF it comes out in the next year.
-
scott storch co-produced under pressure :-X
anyway, mike worked on relapse. hes doing his own thing now, check this interview:

Storch never bounced back after his personal problems imo ... Mike is still dope , not surprising the Dre beats on Relapse were better than what we are used to hear from Dre these latest years ... he's not posting here anymore though :laugh:

Word? On that note what happened to Octo?
-
If "Detox" is still gonna happen, i hope Scott Storch and Mike Elizondo will be workin' on it. What happened to Camara Kambon?

Could have sworn that guy was exposed and ended up living in Iowa or somethin. I went back and read his posts and I can't fucking believe people thought that shit was real back 10 years ago. He was clearly just a writer/journalist of some sort hence his long ass well-written "articles" on here talking about absolutely nothing and just rambling about shit we already knew, or few people knew. At most I would say he worked in the promotional department at Interscope or something along those lines, but that too is a LONG SHOT. There was also a bunch of other shit he was clearly wrong about, but whatever, that guy would get eaten alive on the forum in 2011.
-
yeah he didn't really post any concrete information. just kept saying that detox would be the best album ever cause dre is the greatest ever.
-
I thought Dubcnn staff confirmed he was legit at the time he posted ? ... I agree his posts weren't about "exclusive news"
-
i always wondered what happened to the soul kitchen from the aftermath compilation album. i love that album til this day.

dre probably kicked them to the curb. he shoulda kept those guys. we'd probably got great shit till this day. the best aftermath production was then.

yeah i remember reading that too

What's goin on with Dawaun Parker these days? I remember I used to read about him all the time on this forum. Dre's new protege. Did that EP he was planning ever drop?
-
Parker still puts stuff out, we got that 3rd track not that long ago from the EP, and as for Dre's team, they probably just wanted to do their own thing (eg: Focus said alot of his stuff wasn't making Aftermath albums despite contributing to probably all of em). His usual team coulda felt the same as way as Focus and bounced.
-
IMO he works best when with Elizondo

I think "Put it On Me" has one of the best bass lines ever re: a Dre beat
-
Dre song's co-produced with Elizondo always sounded polished with groovy bass-lines.
-
Most of his crazy beats were created with Storch/Elizondo/Batson.
Most of his crazy beats were created with The Glove and Colin Wolfe.
As for Mellowman, he was exposed on numerous occasions. If I weren't lazy, I would go into vault and pull up the threads with me in them help out with the exposing, no homo. First he said Truth Hurts' album was going to revolutionize R&B in the same way The Chronic revolutionized hip hop. But more crushing to his credibility was when he said Dre had a diss track to Osama Bin Laden recorded and finished but that Dre had decided not to release it; and shortly after saying that, Dre had an interview where he said the Bin Laden diss track wasn't at all a finished track and that they were just messing around in the studio one day.
That was proof Mellowman was a fraud, because it shows how dude was just taking publicly-released press info and making logical extensions to seem as if he was on the inside. In this example, he assumed too much and it bit him in the butt. He started posted much less often after that, until one day he didn't post anymore. He was just some dude with too much time on his hands.
-
they found out that dre never going to drop his last album called "Detox" , so this is clear.

Exactly, that sums it up perfectly. I don't understand how the fuck anyone could have believed that shit.
I remember reading one of his long ass posts, probably over 2000 words, about how close him and Dre are and how he would do anything for Dre and the Aftermath team, especially if Suge were to harm them. And then another one about him being in the studio waiting for Dre to show up, because Dre takes his time in the morning. What a fuckin joke that guy was. The only redeeming value to that guys posts was to get some sort of perspective of what was going on at the time through an obsessed fan's point of view.
Octo on the other hand has proven many times he at least has SOME sort of connections with Aftermath.
And I think this is the thread you're talking about:

was wonderin about that too the other day...
-
Scott Storch - Sniffed away all his talent. If "under pressure" was any indication of their new "sound" then Dre and Scott need to lose each others contact numbers
Mike Elizondo - He produces rock music now and is an executive at some other record label
Mark Batson - Still with Dre, he never went anywhere (Co produced Relapse and the 3 songs on BISD with Dre and D. Park)
-
Where the fuck is Mel-Man?
-
nothing was confirmed, some of the dubcc staff just went along with it.....
Here Overseer gets pretty close to indirect confirmation: http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=82342.0
Maybe just a way to make the forum seem more interesting, or shall I say "connected".

Aids

Storch will make some type of partial comeback at least, even if it means just dropping some actual music, perhaps only with b-grade artists. He has some new stuff coming up that I'll post when it drops properly, at least one banger anyway.
