Dr. Dre On Beats By Dre, Taking a Break From Music (Video)

[BiggBoogaBiff]

Hip Hop is missing something without "Detox" tho.  No matter what would've went down, the game needed it.

so i'm reading that the Soul headphone line endorsed by Ludacris are significantly better than the Beats and cheaper too. aimed at the same market where the look and package are important factors. sound quality suited to more urban and bassy genres again. check the reviews:

this is no news he been took a break from music.

[Detox Is A Myth!!!]

I think Jimmy Iovine wanted Dre to release "Detox" cause of money, but they gettin' hundreds of millions cause of "Beats By Dre", so there's no rush anymore.

This.

Detox as an album was always a myth.  It was and continues to be a marketing brand... and I can't hate on Dre for figuring out how to make money in the music biz in this era.  It ain't easy.  Don't hate the player, hate the game.  He's going to continue to slap the "Detox" name on his products to give it that special sheen and create viral attention from the fans.

Anyway, it's been obvious for a while now to anyone paying attention that Dre's in glorified retirement mode at this point.  It's over.  He'll make a cameo appearance here and there, but it's just over beyond that.  It's time for the West Coast to move on; unfortunately, nobody's around to take the production torch from him.

Dr.Dre is not needed to this new generation... let the man makes his money with the headphones

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

hahah he's taking a break from taking a break. What good is all that time you spend in the studio if you never accomplish shit worth releasing?

Not saying Detox is coming by any stretch of imagination but people didn't watch the video or are dyslexic


By the way you can't ask him questions about Detox ... a journalist from the Guardian was thrown out of the room by Dre PR when asking

Take a break?

''I aint that nigga always on vacation'' - Cube

Yes he was talking about you Dr Dre, Mr N.W.A., coming straight outta Compton, you better make way.

Which album did Cube say that on?

...and why shouldn't Dre take a fuckin vacation.  He's done everything he needed to do in hip-hop.

That proves the control of the Interscope over Dre. Thanx for the link.

The WestCoast will never come a full circle/full eclipse without Dr. Dre.  Hate it, love it, disagree with it, agree with it, whatever.  But at the end of the day when you think of WestCoast rap music there's going to be this little hole/void there that u can't fill becuz "Detox" didn't get released.  U might think I'm crazy now but 2/3 years from now u'll see what i'm sayin'.


This is almost like taking away the Ark from Noah.  This is like him never having the Ark but the story of the bible going on anyway.

[Chamillitary Click]

The real news here is that there is a Beats by Dre store in Soho. I'm about to hit it up.

Damn, questions about Detox and his music career banned. Madness.

Preach!

I remember last year when you, me and a few others claimed the album was always a scheme, and the fanboys cried and wet their panties over it. Hopefully this is the final nail in the coffin and people can forget about Detox once and for all.
