At this point, I don't care what kind of sound it has, just as long as it is NOT the following:sparse, plodding drums, with just a kick drum and an echoey snarewith a few piano notes, and some dark keyboard string stabsIf it's an album full of the same thing we've been hearing for 5 years, I'll scream.I would literally rather it be 80s Bulgarian disco-trance or some shit, ANYTHING except the plodding slow piano stuff.

I guess despite his knowledge of music theory, his ear for good music has been totally corrupted. If he thinks that 3 piano notes and 2 bars of plodding drums looped for 4 minutes straight is good music then honestly Detox might not be that hot. Maybe he needs that legendary 'ear' he had in the 90s back, more so than he needs Scott Storch back...
His genius before was picking really dope samples and having them replayed and mixed fantastically, and adding bits and pieces, or combining other samples with themHe can still make dope beats, but it must take a LOT longer because instead of going through records that already exist and picking out dope bits, he MAKES loads of records and then shifts through them for the best onesAlso, when you replay a sample, you can still copy the funk and swing of the original sample, because the sample was the jumping off point... but when you start by making a slow kick and clap, then it's plodding to begin with
Dre did say he's been listening to alot of Mobb Deep and Wu Tang, but the only thing East Coast sounding he's dropped was "Death To My Enemies" even Raekwon didn't get those grimey East beats. Be interesting though, new sound for Dre
definitely never coming out.
