Dre and Kurupt discussing Death Row and more stuff (November 1998) *Rare*

I think it is entirely possible to do both. The longtime fans will be the toughest sell because they are too specific in what they want and anything other than that is the end of the world to them. He needs to stop worrying about doing either and just concern himself with making great music. Dre done had his hand in too many hit records not to have one more great album in him.

I agree. Detox will probably be the Return of the Jedi of the series tho.

[Jimmy H.]

I'm right with that. As long as it ain't the Phantom Menace.

i think he had a nice sound in the last few years, its a shame he didnt release an album with his sound.

imo its pointless to start over again with detox. they should just hire some fans to pick songs from the vault haha!

alot of the tracks he did with Mark Batson on Eminem's albums were for Detox

I don't like the idea of Dre as a featured rapper on other producers tracks, its pointless

really? i thought dre said he put detox aside, and worked with eminem a few months for his albums (relapse & relapse 2 at the time). the plan was 1 album, but they recorded so much, eminem wanted to release 2

yeah, I know he said that he would release Detox after Eminems(Relapse) and 50's album in '09

IMO alot of those tracks were for Detox but you may be right, we need confirmation from Dre's people

yeah, the couple of tracks he did on Recovery were dope as well

Much tougher to put an album out now. The presurre is gigantic on his part and no matter what he does is people are likely to going to shit on it. Interscope is relying on him to give the music industry a shot in the arm. The West Coast needs him to create that interest so all these other guys can eat. The fans all want different shit and have grown increasingly impatient with all the delays. And on top of that, he got people leaking all these tracks and having the public SHIT on them. People are expecting the GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL-TIME and that's a hard thing to just walk in and create.

In other words: he painted himself into a corner and he sure knows that

[acgrundy]

Dre needs to put out the album that HE wants to make. If he makes an album for anyone other than himself, then it will fail. He needs his passion. He needs to make this album for himself. Not the fans, not the sales, not a game changer...just an album in which he feels is a masterpiece on his own terms.

He obviously can't please everyone. That being said, I would rather him put 100% passion into the album, what HE wants, rather than try and cater to some crowd and not be the real Dre.

But deep down I don't think this album will ever be released. I think Dre cares too much about what other people think about him, and he doesn't want to disappoint other people.

Dre is done just like Peyton Manning

Dre could probably throw the ball farther these days though

[Sir Petey]

all dre needs is that one single and maybe a coupe other singles popping off at the same time by other artists (maybe like an em or snoop track) and thats enough to start a tour if he can get a tour off the ground again dre will be in for a hell of a run.
