Dr. Dre: Lack Of Motivation Holds Up Detox

by Jokesta on October 8th, 2009

Fans of Dr. Dre awaiting the release of his mythical "Detox" LP are going to have to scratch it off their Christmas list once again.

The good doctor who has been promising the follow up to 2001's "The Chronic" for nearly a decade now, says the album may be finished by the end of this year.

While promoting his Beats By Dr. Dre line of headphones, Dre says lack of motivation is the reason for the hold up.

"[I'm] only [working] on my album that I've been working on for the last ten years, that's it [laughs]," he's quoted as saying."

"The Detox record. Hopefully I'll get it done by the end of this year and you'll hear it next year. Motivation and other things getting in the way, that's it [has caused the delay.]"

With these ungrateful ass fans these days, I wouldn’t be motivated to bless the world with my talents either.

Take however long you need Dre, just make sure it’s a fucking classic!

Wayne has been claiming there’s a surprise for Rebirth. Chances are it’s going to be a double disc half rap half rock. It will go Platinum in the first week.

On Detox – Dre is 40+, he’s probably fearful he won’t appeal to the young audience and end up selling very little. Detox will likely never come out…

Ive already lost interest in this phantom album. Dre wont put it out,cause he knows that he wont be able to produce an album that can match the hype “Detox” is getting. At this rate, if he ever does put it out. With the expectation’s being this high. This album with have to be crack/ an aphrodisiac/ Cocaine, be able to cure Cancer, cure Aids, Make blind people see etc. etc. etc.

This album has been 10 years in the making.. Give it up ppl.. Its never coming.

10 years of hype is TOO much hype…its obviously not going to please everybody, as no album does. Closest thing to that is a mike jackson album lol. but come on now, after 10 years youre going to expect this GREAT album, but i bet you anything its going to fall under the expectations.

It better be good though.. Think of how the sound will be probably some pop and rock mixed into the album.. Dont front he want that shit to sell alot of urban kids will buy that shit cause they have the money.. Idk he gonna have to step it up alot he only makes beats how hard can that be if you a master at it he one of the best producers what is he scared for?? If motovation is the problem say fuck it and let others work on the album its dre can say have nipsey hussle someone who would love to put they time in for that album know what I mean.. Maybe banks that would be his time to come back..

I realllly wanna fucking hear Detox, but after awhile you wait SOOOO long for something then say fuck it when it doesnt come. hes hyped it up SO much that no amount of hot tracks will live up to it. Lets face it. If he would have dropped this album years ago, it would have acheived the multi platinum status its going to deserve. now in this day and age its not going to get that shine. So thats his fault for perfecting the craft for so long that hes not going to get the full credit. and hes got 200+ trax under his belt, so i expect a fucking Detox 1 2 3 4 and 5 as an apology of waiting

LOL first of all, if i trashed you, wich i highly doubt because i dont recall trashing anybody then it must be because what you said was probably one of the most stupidest things i’ve ever heard, second, why are you even bringin something like this up, do feel hurt if somebody trashed you??? it’s only a hip hop site man, read the news, comment whatever the fuck you want, listen to the songs and thats that.

haha dude, i mean, i dont know maybe we got some Dre-dickriders up in here, maybe thats why they trashed your comment. but i mean, and this is to everybody that keeps on comin with, ahh when is the album droppin, we been waitin too long, it better be a classic, this and that bullshit…..ya’ll aint in the man’s shoes know what i mean, he dropped 2 classics so far, and now a gigantic pressure is on him for the third one, i know he promised it would come again and again, but hey what can you do if someone has a lack of motivation, it’s possible, hip hop is an art, and every artist can get in a movitvationless state, it’s normal, people should stop whining so much, look at all the other material thats being released, OB4CL Part 2 by The Chef, (damn love that album!!!), to name one, and there’s a lot more coming, and a lot more being released, ya’ll are too greedy forreal, makin a hip hop album aint no factory work like a soulja boy or weezy album, it’s a craft, it takes time, and whatever time that is needed, with that said, if ya’ll we’re able to wait 9 years for Detox, then one more year (maybe less) won’t hurt you.

yeah architect i feel you homie, but im all about respecting my fellow members here on DS, i keep itt 100 here, speaking my mind saaying what i feel inside, we all have a right to an opinion but mine and some other members opinion never get heard because we get passed four trashes, if you get trashed four times, its over, you cant evn see the comment no more, after all that woork you put into typing out your heart and soul for hip jop some haters trash you, it really really hurts my nigga architect. but that nigga needs to drop detox if he has any respect for us, it damn sure better be aa classic, 9 years cmon whats that nigga bee doing for nine years, taking dance lessons probably, o disrepect but dre is soft now.

Dre is a perfectionist…It comes out when it comes out no big deal

There are going to be plenty of other nice albums that drop before Detox so its not like there is going to be a lack of nice music

When Detox does eventually drop though, that shit will be epic.

Dre need to quit lying. The dudes that he had writing his lyrics were probably writing some bullshit. Funny how Game is in this pic with Dre. The worst move Dre ever made was not backing a young and very talented Game and sticking with Curtis No Action Jackson. And be honest, Eminem isn’t Slim Shady anymore. If he is then explain to me why he is not in your conversations when it comes to rappers. When dudes think they are bigger than the sport, everything seems tainted. Dre don’t know what to do because he ain’t been doin shit for 3-5 years now. Another bad move Dre and Em both embarked on was releasing the hottest unknown dude in the game, yep I speak of Bobby Creekwater, go check out his mixtapes, shits should be albums.

I can understand why he is hesistant to drop the album. The album has become mythical at this point. People have such high expectations for this album that if he makes a good album people still wont appreciate it cause they want a fuckin classic record. Its almost impossible for him to deliver what people want at this point. If it comes out some people gonna love it, others are gonna say its a flop and it took him so long to make it. Dont get me wrong I want Detox to come out and be hot. Ill be the first in line.

one thing yall niggas forgetting.

Basically Dre, he dont have to do shit.
If he wants to, he can go on his computer and delete every fucking song if thats what he wants to.
he dont give a shit about what yall niggas gotta say, he come out when he feel like comming out.
so quit the hatin, that aint gon speed up no process… or no, wait, keep the hate up, pretty much aint doing nothing then giving more hype to the album and Dre.

yall niggas talkin bout you aint gonna cop it when it drops because yall been waiting so long, yall niggas talking you gon bootleg it for waiting so long. Lets face it, 90% of yall niggas, found out 2 months ago prolly that he really got a album dropping and that he been working on it for 10 years.
i pray to god yall dont cop this to be honest, cuz when it drops, all this hatin is gone and you see REAL dickriders everywhere.

bitch ass niggas.

By motivation he means that he has nothing to prove making an album is wkr if you got money you just enjoy life which is what he has been doing and 9 yrs is not hype and honestly no ofense to the dre fans but it ain’t happening I mean he has to have some idea of what songs he is going to put on there so there should be leftover tracks that he should of been leaking for a buzz but he hasn’t leaked anything he should just give the beats to the game
