Word is that first Kendrick single "Weed, Women, Weather" had Damian Marley on it for the Detox version. You know that shit would of been fire!!!!He had the makings of a great album, he had a lead single with Snoop "Kush" just like his previous two albums, then an Eminem comeback type song just like "Forgot About Dre" with I need a doctor. Then he had "Topless" which was another Nas/Dre classic like "East/West Killaz", "Phone Tap", "Playaz Hustlaz"......So much dope shit and I haven't even heard a few of the songs you all have mentioned. I think he really had the makings of another classic.

I think he really had the makings of another classic. the "i need a doctor" joint was pretty weak....another one of those sappy cuts that no real hip-hop head wanted 2 hear. "kush" was underrated. dre simply felt it wasnt making enough noise commercially. we coulda easily had another classic by taking the best of the proposed tracks tho.....the crooked i reference track "say dr. dre" was dope as fuck too.
A lot of the beats Dre has produced since the turn of the millenium I guess were considered for the album at one point. I've read before that 'The Set Up' from Obie Trice's first album was considered, as were beats like 'Westside Story' from The Game's debut. Then as time moves on you have production from The Big Bang, and probably some Relapse stuff that Dre probably thought of keeping for himself.I have a snippet of a beat labelled as 'Big Dusty' (I can't remember how I acquired it), but it sounds huge and it's apparently a leak from the studio when Dre was recording for the album.
Dr. you got my prescription and its keepin me alive, DOCTOR!
not the sort of sound that anyone wanted for Detox. It sounds like the sort of track Lady Gaga would do.
forgot about 'imagine' - definite detox worthy joint right there. mature, mellow, cinematic sound and some crazy bass effects 'big dusty' was from some other producer working with dre, sounded sick though. those drums http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/V2I5oIiJ/file.htmlthere's this other one from a slim the mobster clip too which a lot of people were feeling http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/C9vs37qC/file.htmlfrom the more recent tracks to have leaked out the labs, scoe's 'sunset strip' is the nicest, even if was never meant for detox.
