Talk:Detox (Dr. Dre album)

Rumors

"There have also been rumors that the famous producer had completed the album some time back but was not satisfied with it, and instead sold the beats to former Aftermath Entertainment artist The Game. Dr. Dre wanted to concentrate on producing artists that were on his Aftermath label, such as 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Eminem and Eve, which is why he once said he would no longer be working on the album."

This should probably be removed. First of all it is a rumor and second it is an outdated rumor. As part of the first paragraph of the article it implies that he is no longer working on the album when we all know he had has since said it is coming out this year. 153.18.17.22 18:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

i believe the reason Detox has been delayed is because of the problems with Mel-Man. He probably did make the album with him but after he left dre gave up. Then he started over again in 2005. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siwhat (talk • contribs) 05:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Crooked I

I'm going to take the Crooked I reference down because he said he is unsure if he will do ghostwriting due to the track Say Dr. Dre being leaked. So yeah if someone gets mad im sorry.

Nah man I don't take it down because it's talking about refrences in music. Just leave as is thanks man I understand why you would want to take it down but it's all good. It's refrences in music, not artist that will make it to Detox. volumesoxxs 03:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Volumesoxxs. They are just references. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 13:41, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Props to whoever cleaned up the 'references' section. --129.97.192.252 15:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I had been trying to add the Busta Rhymes's "Just Gettin Warm" reference for a month, and someone kept deleting it, even though it was fine the way I had it. But the references section does look a lot cleaner. Thanks a lot. --71.139.192.39 18:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Why

Y do u need a references section its real satisfing that that there was a reference on a song

• User:Next Fiday 11.36, 3 April 2007

I don't understand what you're saying. Do you mean people should find out for themselves when listening to the song and it shouldn't be provided here? It's just the site is designed to provide information, and it's purpose is to provide all the information that we have.

Can anyone confirm is Timbaland is going to be a producer on Detox? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Volumesoxxs (talk • contribs) 22:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

Here you go:

• "According to a Sirius Radio interview early in 2007, Timbaland stated that he produced a track or two for Detox in turn for Dr. Dre's appearance on Timbaland Presents Shock Value." --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 20:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

New Tracklisting

Whoever put the new track listing up needs to have a source. Volumesoxxs

list

"Dr. Dre has said that he wants to try include everyone he has ever worked with on the album, therefore Possible Guest appearances on Detox could include..."

Thats ridiculous. I don't think you realize how many people Dre has worked with. Putting a list of everyone he has ever worked with would list in the hundreds. I'm getting rid of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.105.137.160 (talk) 05:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC).

I Put that list on there coz there was already a list on there with some joke names and people he has never worked with so i replaced it with a list of names of people he has worked with. Dre himself said he wants to include everyone he has ever worked with on Detox when he called Power 106. although the list i made may not have been the full list of people he has worked with it wasnt missing that many and i dont think it was missing any that stand any chance of getting on Detox, it did have a good 40 or so names of the rappers he has ever made anything of significance with and who are currently active and are most likely are going to be the people that have guest appearances on Detox - I would be suprised if there is anyone on the final album that i didnt include on that list

dre actually pointed out there would be a surprise guest

Also I think Stat Quo should be listed as he stated in an interview he is in L.A working with Dre on Detox. volumesoxxs 10:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Mentions in other artists' music

Jay-Z is the latest one to mention this, again i wud add this myself but id probs get the grammar wrong or sumthin ya feel. He did it on the Amy Winehouse Rehab Remix (http://www.defsounds.com/singles/view/1552-amy-winehouse-feat-jay-z-rehab-remix.html) in Jays verse he say: "get the fantom to drop,"place" base snearin out the system,that's how i DETOX".

Maybe you're not so bright? :S Jaz-y is talking about real detox when you're clearing your system from drugs/alcohol. Btw. This remix sucks, nothing new except for jaz-y verse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.53.25.9 (talk) 10:09, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

Hey who took off the part about Eminem's song Encore/Curtains Down. He clearly mentions Dre's Detox album, put it back. If you don't believe me listen to the end of the unedited version of the song!!!!!!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmilisc9 (talk • contribs)

I know how the song goes, and this isn't the only mention of Detox in a song. Believe me. We had a list for a while, but without sources, we can't put it up. And, unless you have a source saying this happened, and a notable reason for this, it will stay out. --JpGrB 22:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok first of all, if you look on the wiki page of Encore/Curtains down, it has the same thing. Second of all, we should have the source be a 30 second sample of the song itself. Third, you know the Focus interview with MTV, he talks about Em's upcoming album and Detox. I am going to add that. Here is the page, http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1582507/20080228/eminem.jhtml Go there, and maybe you can add it. He CLEARLY mentions Detox, his work with it and when it will be released. JpGrB, try and add a 30 second sample of the song Encore by Eminem and then you can have it on the page.

Boss' Life

When Snoop says "If my nigga's detoxin there's more for me" I think hes just using detox as the verb, getting rid of the marijuana in their system, thus Snoop Dogg will have more weed.

--Memphis10 03:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

nah, i think hes sayin that as long as dre is workin on detox, hell still be rappin - NJ Rock

I agree with NJ Rock, it refers to Detox, saying that if Dr. Dre will release Detox, he will be rapping on it too ("there's more for me", more rapping maybe?). --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 13:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

hes using detox as a pun, since detox is the name of Dre's album to say that if Dre is detoxing there is more weed for him. but i bet Dre isn't really giving up weed, thats just the name of his albumDrumac 05:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

All right then, so we all agree that it should stay there as a reference, right? --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 14:19, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes it should stay mainly because I put it up and I did my research before I put it on the page so don't worry it is a DETOX reference. volumesoxxs 07:40, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

All right, good job by the way on actually doing research before putting it up here, that's good. Keep up the good work. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho? The head honcho, swift fist like Camacho 13:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

The Game on KMEL

Whoever put up that entry about The Game not working on Detox because of 50 needs to put a source up or remove it. volumesoxxs 13:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Wording

How about we change the first sentence to "Detox is the upcoming third and last Dr. Dre album…" (and son on) since Bishop Lamont said it's going to be Dre's last album in an interview here? Daniil Maslyuk 11:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

References

I have "wikified" all the references today. It was a lot of work, so I would appreciate it if people would also put any newly added references in the same format as the others. It's easy, just use the others as examples. If you are confused and don't know how to do it, then it's OK, just put the reference there, and I'll wikify it for you. --- Who's the one you call Mr. Macho?

Release Date of the Album

The release date will not be in June 2008. The date is much too soon for the album to be released without hearing any word from Dr. Dre himself, no single, no promotion. I say it will be 3rd or 4th quarter at the earliest. The source for the June 2008 release date is not good enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gentillalli (talk • contribs) 20:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

An insider said the album release date has been pushed back, now it's Fall 2008. Yes, Fall again. He also said the G-Unit album has been pushed to July 1 2008 and The Game's to July 8 2008.

No, I didn't notice if you or anyone else was right about anything. I do tend to notice if info is sourced or not. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

So, what about rumors? Rumors are rumors. If they are sourced put it on Wikipedia, if they're only rumors don't. Otherwise, I would already write hundreds of rumors that i heard about Detox, like that the album will never get out, but its singles will.

There is an interview with The DOC on DubCNN.com and it mentions some stuff about detox but pretty much the impression i got from it is that any information you've heard abiout the album is probably not true because dre is keeping everything a secret about the album. Duder999 (talk) 20:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I also doubt a June 2008 release is verifiable; Fresh Hip Hop News doesn't look too much of a reliable source in my humble opinion - given that it's backed by Wordpress (Wikipedia should avoid linking to self-published sources, especially if they make claims about living people). Thus, I'll change it to 2008 in general as the media has frequently reported.--Andrewlp1991 (talk) 20:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Yea its not very likely. Its suppose to come out in a month or less and yet no release date, official statement or anything. AND its suppose to come out after Eminem's next album and that dosne't even have a name yet or release date. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 00:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Ice Cube and Ren not on detox

"In a May 2008 interview with the site DubCNN.com, rapper The D.O.C. denied that fellow N.W.A members Ice Cube and MC Ren would be guests on the album"

Interview with C-Major.

I'm not sure if this is notable or not, but on DuBCNN Cashis producer C-Major gave an interview and stated that both Detox and King Mathers (he referred to it by this name) are almost completed. The full interview is here. --JpGrB 21:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

C Major only referred to it as King Matthers because thats what the interviewer called it when he asked him about it.

I had just posted the interviews because it mentioned both, and the reason I made mention of C-Major calling it "King Mathers", was because he possibly could've corrected the interviewer. That is the only reason I made mention of it. --JpGrB 06:22, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

No head to head

It is unlikely that Dr. Dre will release his album at the same time with Eminem and 50 cent. They will not challenge each other because they work together.

I just read from dubcnn.com Erotic D submitted a track "Dear Diary" for Dr. Dre and will most likely be on Detox. Erotic D was also involved with producing songs "Just Don't Bite It" and others from the Niggaz4Life album. Here is part 3 of the article where he talks about detox.

Death of Dre's son and its effect on album, release date, etc.

Dr. Dre's 20 year old son died August 30th, 2008, unexpectedly. I'm certain this will have an effect on the release date, and perhaps even the content as I could imagine the artist just dropping some parts of the project due to the understandable depression and/or exhaustion stemming from such a tragedy. Anyone with verifiable information should submit it on "Detox" page, asap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.165.5.167 (talk) 09:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I havn't seen anything on his son's death effecting the album. We really shouldn't add anything unless theres a source. This kinda reminds me of the last song in 2001 that was called "The Message", that he wrote about his brothers death. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 22:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I honestly think that the fact his son passed away, we are going to see a later release of Detox, possibly next summer (2009). So if Dre makes a public announcement that this will effect Detox, we will not see anything mentioning that in the article. But, I think we won't see Detox this year, because Eminem is silent about his project and Dre said that he will release this album after Em's.

Release year

With Relapse going to be released in 2009 per HipHopDX.com news, and Detox being released after Relapse, I think the release year of Detox should be changed to 2009 unless someone disagrees HipHopDX.com is reliable. Daniil Maslyuk (talk) 02:31, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Well why does that site say "Relapse" will be released in 2009 when Eminem said it would be released by the end of 2008? I really doubt that Hiphop DX is more reliable then Eminem himself. SE KinG (talk) 02:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
