The brilliant and awesome Neil deGrasse Tyson has inspired Dr. Dre during a recent visit to embark on an album capturing the sounds of planets through music in our solar system.

Earth is flat and those things you think are planets are just lights in the sky that are small and as close as they look with the naked eye.
The idea they are billions of light years away that's absurd. The human eye can not see thousands of years into the past. You guys actually believe that crap? The sun and moon (which has its own light just as you see it with common sense) are the same size and the stars and planets are just as you see them with your naked eye.
If you don't believe me then just google the planets and outer space and tell me if any of the pics actually look real or like Hollywood CGI

Yeah I vaguely remember that too. Maybe a disgruntled ghost producer will leak it next April 1st

Hmmm, with the idea and if it is creative and well implemented he could even get a Grammy for it because it is unique but with his ICU team it is questionable to get a futuristic sound

I also thought, but is current, there is a new post from a guy who was there, and writes get Ready for Dre's next episode # theplanets

Unfortunately, I can't find the other link now, but it looks like he's currently working on the Planets Instrumentals again, but with ICU

This makes me sick... Neil Degrasse Tyson is a fraud. Did you guys know he thinks men should be able to participate in male Olympic events. That gender is fluid, and that he said "why not base it on testosterone levels rather than male and female categories. Like you have weight classes in boxing."
The guy is a phony. Why does he support LGBQT as Scientific, Coward-19 as Scientific, Climate Change as Scientific?
Did you ever wonder why he always falls on the side of the World Economic Forum? You guys listen to all this bullshit rap about New World Order and the Illuminati and then when they push an agenda like the Globe 🌎 (spinning water ball) or Coward-19, or moon mission, Mars mission, you guys can't even see that these are Globalist agendas and not actually honest and objective Science. It's Scientism!!
Think of the latest Artemis moon mission from April 1st. They went to the moon. I bet you guys were so excited... but did you ever stop and ask...
- why were they supposedly able to land on the moon in the 1970's but in 2026 they are celebrating a flight that doesn't even reach the moon? Isn't that backwards?
- why did they just come back with 3 photos of Earth that look the same as that Hollywood CGI image we've been seeing since the 70's? Why no videos? Why just 4 still photos?
- why did they make sure to get their token woman and token black guy for the mission? If this was crucial to Science would they be worried about pushing the women's movement and black advancement?
- the funniest thing is this most recent mission that celebrated "going back to the moon" they say they were more than 50,000 miles away which is farther than New York to LA. And they are celebrating that?? Hmmm...
None of this makes you question?

Yeah I remember Dre announcing this project years and years ago, but went the same way as 90% of his ideas go - nowhere. I'd love it though if it does come out.
PS can we keep the flat earth mental shit to a minimum
-
This is going to be great for Dre, hip-hop, science and us!
It will bring a lot of far ranging attention as he's doing something really different and interesting.
Depending on the planets we could get all sorts of amazing outta space cosmic sounds with different vibes and moods for the planets.
I doubt there will be any rapping, but maybe vocals on intros, skits, planetary name drops/planet introductions with voice-overs (maybe by Neil Tyson himself or computerised).
There could be singing on there, say in the back-grounds or 'hooks'.
Once this is done, then back to the last solo album.
If anyone fucks it up, it will be ICU.
Maybe he will work with another team for this (which i doubt), or get some orchestra backing or some shit.
Anyway i am amped for it.
The history behind Dre's planets album -

One of the best space related hip-hop songs i heard is Kool Keiths/Dr Octagons 3000 with Q-Bert doing the cosmic scratches -

I mean he already did that on Marsha's album

A piece on it from last year: https://hiphophero.com/dr-dre-planets-instrumental-album-unreleased/
-
It wasn't just a loose idea either. Dre claimed to have researched planets for around two years, going into detail about his Saturn, Jupiter and Earth records. "I'm gonna go off on that. Just all instrumental," he explained. "I've been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet. I've been doing this for about two years now just in my spare time so to speak. I wanna do it in surround sound. It'll have to be in surround sound for Saturn to work."
Dont know if it will still be in surround sound which would sound cinematic! But how would that play on just two speaker set ups like on headphones etc...
He continued, "Because Saturn has the rings and you'll have to hear the sound going around you the entire time the instrumental is playing. You make Jupiter big. Earth of course has to [sound] wet. You really get into the actual personality of each planet and you go with that."
Dre should drop some acid to assist him in this project ;D
-
remember we had some aftermath leaks a summer or two ago... prob some bullshit made by nobodies, but there was some ok stuff on that...
"saturn" was on that
-
those were fake leaks from youtube type beats and soundcloud beats, the bozo got exposed for those and still kept posting fake dre leaks lmfao. only song that ever got started on was the music for saturn and that remained a unfinished idea and never leaked, all that shit is fake from fake insiders.

Of course not.
I thought it was released?

I thought it was released?
It was scrapped a while back. After Dre's recent visit with Neil deGrasse Tyson, he was inspired to revisit the project and continue building.
Could be dope if Neil can help source sounds like electromagnetic waves or supernovae from space and figure out a way to fold them into the mix 8)
-
Is there a release date for this new Dre project?
nevruary nineteenth, 2000 never
-
sounds like an interesting project shame it will probably be produced with the ICU.
-
According to this, it was supposed to drop in 2004: https://hiphophero.com/dr-dre-planets-instrumental-album-unreleased/
So it's probably largely complete. I'm sure there will be a full renovation now; especially with Neil in the mix offering direction with the technicals around astrophysics. Dre was going off pure imagination back then. Now he's got a renowned PhD in his corner, which will more than likely make it way cooler. I'm down with it. 8)
-
nevruary nineteenth, 2000 never
Yea same date as Detox had!
-
Dre was still smoking weed in 2004? Should be Some dope tracks on it!!!

Oh yup, it does. Misread the fuck outta that. 2010 was when Dre mentioned it was in the works, not 2004. Either way, bring it on 8)

Stop falling for this every time. This will never come out.

lol, no one's "falling" for anything dude lol. None of us have any bets on Kalshi around this lol. Just a cool announcement that's fun to talk about... in a forum where that's all people do lol.
-
Stop falling for this every time. This will never come out.
you said the same thing bout missionary tho
maybe it doesn't come out.. but it would be dope if it did. probably the best way for dre to redeem himself. so you can bet your bottom dollar it's guna be discussed here.
-
Obviously the only way to redeem himself in the eyes of people here is to release another rap album like Chronic talking about smoking weed and being a gangster and he will never do that. Not making instrumental albums about outer space. Just gonna make people think he fell off even more.

Judging by the overwhelming interest and positive reactions from "people here" I'd say you've lost that bet my man lol. I'm a day 1 Dre fan and am genuinely excited about this project. I'd go further and say that any Dre fan is a fan of the 70s music - obviously funk but soul and R&B. And if you like the 70s stuff, you probably like the 60s too. Wanna count all the Grammys and other awards behind that shit? lol. My point is, these type of listeners don't consider "talking about smoking weed and being a gangster" the end-all-be-all; after all, the music that gave rise to Dre was talking about a whole bunch of other stuff - and so was the music that gave rise to that. Give people some credit dude lol - it's a little more sophisticated than you're making it out to be. Like the dude above me said, good music is good music. And being a fan of good music isn't shallow. Not being a fan of it is lol.
-
naah that's the typa shit that can garner critical acclaim and even get him grammy nods ..... good music is good music
We shall see. He tried some out of the box stuff with Missionary and Cassablanco and people shit all over it.

Wonder if Dre will use Dr. Tyson's connections with NASA and Harvard to sample some sounds from their sonification program 8)

Sure
I can relate to this!!!
But on the other hand
A real chronic 3 would be the shit
Idk about an DRE Instrumental album
Would it be critically acclaimed I think so
Would it be a fan praiser hmmm
For me, it would be another letdown by my/a goat
I want a Missionary type album but with good/dope beats
I think this coulda praise everybody

Well A it is a moot point because this will never drop in a million years. And B Dre has done outside the box stuff his whole career and people shit on it any time it is not gangster rap. This time will be no different.

Just look at history man. It is not that hard. All the way back from the Jimmy Z jazz album to Cassablanco. Maybe you are too young but trust us OGs here.

jj fad and michel'le were both pretty succesful .. truth hurts was well received too
when eminem dropped he was outside the box .. not your typical gangsta rap like u sayin
so naah

And now I see you on a video with Michelle? Looking like straight bozos. Dre took a lot of heat for working with Michelle. It was not well received in the rap community at the time. Eminem is still rap and already had quite a following when Dre signed him. Eazy E signed JJ Fad and Dre worked on their album well before his gangster persona and their album came out before Straight Outta Compton. So there was no outside the box with them.
My examples were clearly better as Jimmy Z was well after Dre was established. You need to look no further than here to see the threads on Cassablanco and Missionary to see how Dre fans react when he tries something different.
Oh and let us not forget his recent Outside the Box project. The Someday Has Just Begun song. Did not see many people here enjoying that one.

👆 This guy seems really impressed with himself 😂
I speak in facts and logic. I was there in 1988 when this shit dropped and Dre and NWA first came on the scene. I was there when Nicety and Funky Flute dropped and everyone was like WTF is this? Then the club mix dropped and Dre rapped even longer on it. People thought Dre was done. Eazy got him back on the right track. Like Eazy said, deep down Dre was never really a gangster. He was Wrecking Kru through and through. Dre hopped on the gangster rap bandwagon because that was what was selling. Remember the Aftermath Compilation that bombed? Dre has tried so many times to leave gangster rap but his fans want nothing but that from him so he has to keep going back to it.
Then there are people like you who drool every time there is a rumor of Dre dropping any sort of song or beat thinking it is gonna be Detox and when it isnt, you whine and cry until you hear of Dre doing something again and the whole cycle repeats. You will cry again if this Planets album ever drops.

missionary did drop .. it was gangsta rap .. and it wasn't well received
so less to do with gangsta rap and more to do with the music just wasn't great

Fair point. I do agree. Dont get me wrong, I give Dre props, one of the greatest of all time no doubt. Its like any artist, when they do things outside to what their fanbase are used to, it doesnt usually do well.

Dude, I totally get why so many people are in forums now lol... So they can talk like this to random people they don't know and never met while they stroke themselves 😂
Don't get any jizz on the keyboard 😂

Generally the idea of message boards is to have conversations. At least Sccit makes good points and discussions, even if we dont always agree.
Your juvenile replies about jizz and masturbating and whatever else youre talking about really shows your immaturity and difficulty, based on your intelligence level, to engage in discussions like this. Its no wonder you have no knowledge of the early years of Dre and his career, and thus are unable to contribute anything of substance to the discussion.

for rappers, sure .. for producers, it's different
that's why dre can drop an eminem or an anderson and they're both a completely different style than the G-Funk we were used to, yet still successful
like timbaland can produce aaliyah or jay-z and it doesn't matter if they're two different styles .. good music is good music
if dre drops brilliant music that isn't g-funk, it will be accepted
do we all want a chronic 3? unequivocally.. but at the end of the day, it comes down to whether the music is great or not
casablanca was ok .. nothing mind blowing, but not bad either .. some people here were really diggin it and some thought it was subpar .. i personally thought it was decent, but not good enough to make noise .. if dre can drop some undeniably great music, that will be the difference .. period

what's your gut say? i mean the amount of time the man spends in the studio... plus the unlimited resources of money and access to talent.. and no magic for a long time...feels like it's a wrap.
at a minimum would be nice to see him produce more things front to back..

i do feel like an instrumental project is his last hope to go out wit a bang
but as knocturnal told me, he's a classic overthinker
we'll see

You are exactly right. Dre basically has every rapper at his disposal, anyone would gladly hop on a Dre track for his album. Dre has the option to work with pretty much any producer in the world he chooses. He has the most money and most access to any sort of studio or recording technology at his disposal. There is no reason he shouldn't be making the best music anyone has ever heard.
Yet we got stuff like Missionary, Cassablanco, The Contract, Someday Has Just Begun, etc. over the last 5 years. So i do agree, I think it's more of an issue as he's just lost it as a producer. There really is no other reason why he shouldn't be hitting a home run every time. Which is fine, doesn't dilute his legacy at all, still one of the best ever. But dude's getting old, he's had medical issues, personal problems, etc. But based on all this, it's silly to think he's going to come out with some instrumental album about outer space and it's somehow going to be the most amazing album of his career.

Its no wonder you have no knowledge of the early years of Dre and his career, and thus are unable to contribute anything of substance to the discussion.
Alright dude - you wanna argue from an armchair and smoke your pipe by the fireplace? Let's go.
Your entire historical case rests on a category error. You're treating format failures and context-specific reception as evidence of genre rejection — and they're not the same thing dude.
The Aftermath compilation underperformed because fans wanted a Dre solo album and didn't get one. That's what the people who actually made it said. That's not evidence that fans reject "non-gangster" Dre — it's evidence that fans reject being baited. Different problem entirely dude.
And 'I was there' — where, exactly? Next to a radio with everyone else? Lol. Being a contemporary listener gives you data points, not analytical authority. You're conflating proximity with insight and using it to shut down a conversation instead of advancing one.
But here's where your argument actually collapses under its own weight: you said yourself that deep down Dre was never really a gangster. That the Wrecking Crew was the real him. Well if that's true, then a conceptual instrumental album about outer space made with a theoretical physicist is closer to the authentic Dre than another gangster rap album — not further. You've actually built a case for this project without realizing it lol.
The real argument you're making isn't about Dre at all dude. It's that his fanbase has historically punished him for being himself. That may even be true. But it's an argument against the fanbase's sophistication — not against the project.
You're standing in a room full of people telling you they're excited about this — and you're explaining to them that they won't be. At what point does 'facts and logic' require you to account for the facts directly in front of you?
And not for nothing dude, but "OG" as a title is entirely third-person by nature. It's conferred, not claimed lol. The moment you call yourself an OG — especially in writing, to strangers, in a forum — you've demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of what the designation actually means and where its authority comes from. It's socially self-defeating lol. A real OG doesn't need to say it. We're all supposed to accept your self-assessment of your own credibility and defer accordingly? LOL. That's not how credibility works dude. That's how hierarchy demands to work when it can't actually justify itself. The irony is your entire argument revolves around Dre's fanbase rejecting inauthenticity. But you're making that argument inauthentically lol.

You are exactly right. Dre basically has every rapper at his disposal, anyone would gladly hop on a Dre track for his album. Dre has the option to work with pretty much any producer in the world he chooses. He has the most money and most access to any sort of studio or recording technology at his disposal. There is no reason he shouldn't be making the best music anyone has ever heard.
Yet we got stuff like Missionary, Cassablanco, The Contract, Someday Has Just Begun, etc. over the last 5 years. So i do agree, I think it's more of an issue as he's just lost it as a producer. There really is no other reason why he shouldn't be hitting a home run every time. Which is fine, doesn't dilute his legacy at all, still one of the best ever. But dude's getting old, he's had medical issues, personal problems, etc. But based on all this, it's silly to think he's going to come out with some instrumental album about outer space and it's somehow going to be the most amazing album of his career.
I'll say this, Dre is trying new things because the Detox sessions have been dead for years - so he's not held up to any musical standard. All the tracks he's done - he's done years in advance - so that's why he's trying for a new sound.

That is a very good point. Kind of a starving artist slant to it. He finds the same old gangster rap sound boring and is looking to branch out and challenge himself. That is cool. I think he knows that kind of stuff is not what his traditional fanbase wants. Which is part of why so much of his stuff he shelves.

Earth is flat and those things you think are planets are just lights in the sky that are small and as close as they look with the naked eye.
The idea they are billions of light years away that's absurd. The human eye can not see thousands of years into the past. You guys actually believe that crap? The sun and moon (which has its own light just as you see it with common sense) are the same size and the stars and planets are just as you see them with your naked eye.
If you don't believe me then just google the planets and outer space and tell me if any of the pics actually look real or like Hollywood CGI
Did you see the picture of the boats in Australia floating upside down?
