What's the hype?
Why is everyone anticipating Detox?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Dre, The Chronic 2001 was a good album, he's a great producer, and definitely has an eye for talent. But as far as rapping goes, what is he, like top 30?
Is it all the ghost writers he has working on Detox?
Is it the potential collabos with 50 and Eminem that has everyone on the edge of their seats?
I mean, Lil Wayne said he was ghost writing some of Dre's verses, Do you really think you're going to get the same product as The Chronic/2001 from that guy? (Don't front, Tha Carter 3 was a HUGE disappointment).
So what is it exactly that has every god damn hip hop fan waiting for this album like it's the second coming?
Someone put me on to the hype.
By the way, I'm back bitches!, Took a vacation--oh yeah, for the folks that have been on Defsounds for more than year, remember around this time a year ago, we changed everything up?..Guess what's about to happen again..and about to happen again SOON. So if there's something you'd like to see changed..speak now or forever hold your peace.
Oh and one more thing, we recently started posting tracks from Hip Hop's new rainman Charles Hamilton--you know, tryna show some love to the mentally challenged hip hop community. For some reason you folks think we're only posting his bad tracks, umm..we're just posting his latest releases--is it really our fault that they suck?
Now then, here's some ear candy...my favorite track of August:

DETOX IS ANTICIPATED CUZ THIS NIGGA DROP SHYT EVRY SEVEN YEARS...EVRY ALBUM HE DROP IS LIKE A TIME CAPSULE AND IN SEVEN YEARS WEN THE NEXT ONE DROP YALL GONNA B LIKE DAMN HIP HOP HAS CHANGES AGAIN
BROOKLYN STAND UP...BEDSTY, NOSTRAND IS DA AVE COME HOLLA
Detox Hype Is Just So Crazy Because It's Dre Man Think About It...Tha Nigga Who Pioneered Sum Of Tha Current Shyt Now (Tha Whole Fucc It Attitude And It's Aiight To Feel Like That) Made A Movement With No Holds Barred Attitudes And Different Swag..He Was On Sum Before His Tyme Type Shyt Basically Ground Breaking As Far As His Participation Went Wit Dealing With This New Hip Hop/Rap Movement Bacc Then.....He Might Not Be An Elite MC But Tha Man Comes Through And Comes Correct..He's Simply A Livin Legend That Actually Lives Up To That When He Drops...So Why Not Be Hype About It..It's Tha Anticipation And Tha Cred That He Has As A Dope Producer That Builds To It Even More Let Alone How Humble And Chilled Bacc He Is About It Wich Makes It Even More Of A Good Question Askin "I Wonder Wut He Gon Do Next And Wut Tracc Is Gon Have Tha World Boomin?"(A Lil Mystery Is Sumtymes Good)Feel Me,.. I Like Tha Cat Honestly..He Ain't Out There Like That But He's Damn Relevent Without All Them In Da Spotlight Moves..Lookin Forward To This Detox,R.I.P. His Son...Scream At Me,1..
Dre is something fresh to this era. Hasn't put out an album in so long, and nobody really knows what to expect.
Chamillionaire's track is awesome, by the way. The way he progrsses through a story is similar to Eminem. And you can't tell me that the skit & last verse don't sound like some Marshall Mathers shit.
"Leave Mom Leave" = "Breathe Bitch Breathe" off the track Kim
The mans a legend, thats all it is! Chronic and 2001 were straight classics! its Dr. motherfucking Dre! his my all time OG of hip-hop, the man produces history, i mean he worked with and beefed Eazy-e & Dr.Dre how many people can say that even beefed Biggie, and he has consistently since the 80's been major, he is what i would call the father of Hip-hop! gotta have Cube, Fif, Em & Snoop if they hop on its classified as classic!
DRE is a GENIUS! the man brought out Nas, Em, Snoop, Damn near evry legend and legends to be, NWA co-ceo of Death Row
without Dre theres no:
NWA - ice cube, eazy-e etc.
Death Row: you know who they are Pac, Snoop etc.
The Firm: Nas, Foxy, AZ
Shady: eminem, Obie, D12
G-unit
BWS
now think about how many people all of em influenced, the list is endless
yo to be honest i want it so i could hear the beats cause i know they gonna be crack and i wanna hear em and 50 get back on that classic aftermath shit like 2001-2005
personally i was anticipating it like 2 years ago but now i don't care if it ever drops... cause it prolly will never drop.. it's like chinese democracy and guns n roses..never never never..and this latest incident with dre's kid passing has nothin to do with it not coming out this year cause it wasnt droppin this year regardless..and its sorry to see that cause it would have been a dope album..but this is one case where dre bein a perfecionist is costing us fans dearly..
atlantic records has chinese democracy there just figuring out how to market it right so they can get there 10+ mill back that was put into making it
good track, I for one still fork out cash for cd's
ummmm i think its anticipated cuz dre is jus that nigga ha...he makes that lets get fucked up n holla at the broads n try to fuck em music
Fuck all of you people, his son died he doesn't give a fuck about his fans. there aint going to be no album. RIP Andre
^^^ you need to shut your mouth with that shit you know he cares about his fans i mean where the fuck is his money if he doesnt have fans buying it and 2 stop saying shit like it aint gona drop it will but when he says so point blank period
bro whats wrong with Dre's face? its looks like its like swelled up. and i changed my pic to Keri Hilson, my wife
Damn why Dre face look like da Scream Mask?
Detox is really hyped up because hip hop needs saving right now. Nas couldn't do it with Untitled, Wayne didn't do it with III, LAX probly wont be the classic everybody wants even tho its a good album, and everbody knows that when Dre releases somethin hes perfected it, and every 7 years he amazes hip hop with what he does. just because hes been gone for 7 years doesnt mean he fell off, it just means hes puttin everything he got in to DETOX
fuck you jokesta.. you fucking clown.. what are you fucking retarded? oh wait i know, you're just trying to be different and you wanna be some kind of noncomformist. Detox has been in the making for 7ish years man.. who the fuck are you?
this cd will stay in peoples cars.. everyone knows and respects dre as an artist, no matter who writes for him.. his beats are incredible and hes gonna have a ton of colabs so its almost like a feature album from what we've all heard.. 50, em, jay, nas.. i dont need to go any further.. those 4 right there should put anyone on the hype.
fucking faggot
Detox should be one of the best albums in hip hop history since its taking so long to release and cham is sick as hell.
@BK
You said it...I heard "Aint nothing but a G thing" on the radio today..Shit it's been like what 15 years or so and it still is hard as fuck and 2001 was a classic!!!It brought Snoop back to where he belongs! On his West Coast shit..
To answer this editorial..This is why we are waiting on Detox.
"You never been on a ride like this befo'
With a producer who can rap and control the maestro "
Yo Jokesta you should add an "Edit" button for the posts, cuz if you screw up you gotta make a new post just for a spelling mistake or whatever, it would be nice to have an edit feature, so we can just fix it like that.
how can u not anticipate it after u listen to 2001. one of the few cds i can still listen to all the way thru. this ones gonna b even better than 01. n at first i thought his sons death was gonna push it back but i think thats gonna give dre even more drive to do his thing plus if he gets it out soon he can dedicate it to his son ya dig
n as far as wayne ghost writing for dre i wouldnt believe that if dre was 85 years old. maybe em... but not wayne lol what a joke. thats like sayin u wanna have dmx handle all ur money... just doesnt make sense. dre writes much better than wayne.
Hater please don't kill your self...the world needs people just like you
Bottom line is all the HipHop heads know when Dre and Em drop the best rapper alive and producer of all time will be back to take whats theirs.
Yo Fo-T Kalibur,
Dre didn't bring Nas out, he was just a contributor on The Firm album, since it was released on his label. M.C. Serch brought Nas out way before that. Remember Nas had Illmatic, and It Was Written, before The Firm album came out. The Firm was Nasir's idea, so had it not been on Aftermath, with Dre's involvement, it would still have come out on another label. So you were wrong in saying Dre brought Nas out, they just collaborated. Aside from the Nas part, good point. And Mos_Real420, "What doesn't make sense" is you saying Dre is a better writer than Lil Wayne. How can someone who has people do his writing for him, a better WRITER than someone who writes his lyrics? Everyone knows Dre's hits are written by ghostwriters. 2 examples, "Still Dre" by Jay-Z, "Forgot About Dre" by Eminem. Now I am not even a Weezy fan, but facts are facts. You should brush up on yours. PEACE Come check out The Livin' Large Morning Show w/ Bobby Livin', and Tony Large Sundays 11am-1pm EST at clubmegamix . com. You'll like it.
All that HGH fucked up Dre's face bad. He looks like a Geico caveman with a fresh shave. Look it up, HGH causes the face bones to morph into neanderthal.
As far as record sales, I'm sure Dre would love the Detox to be a "huge disappointment" like the Carter 3 (platinum in a week).
Until then, I'll be listening to The Recession cuz that album is fuckin nice. I'm actually anticipating Jada's album more than Detox.
This dude is whack, i mean are you serious with questioning the hype, and is he serious with the carter 3 was huge dissapointment? wtf how is this guy on a rap website doing stories?
Oh and one more thing, we recently started posting tracks from Hip Hop's new rainman Charles Hamilton--you know, tryna show some love to the mentally challenged hip hop community. For some reason you folks think we're only posting his bad tracks, umm..we're just posting his latest releases--is it really our fault that they suck?
No offense Jokesta but STFU
Yall do post his bad songs, instead of postin dat last song yall posted by him yall should've posted Do What You Love
Listen 2 it if u haven't bcuz dat song is da truth n it trashes any song made by dat generic ass muthafucka ASSer Roth
i was wondering where you ere at.....yeah i feel the same about detox...i mean it will most likely be good but....people are talkin like dre himself managed to get jesus as the chorus....and id like the singles player thing to go back to the old one with a timer on it!
cosign on the singles player lol
the other 1 used to look alot better
Koopa Kilt That Shit!!!!!
DRE LOOK OLD AS SHIT!!!!!!!!
Dre looks like he got BOXED!!
dre's always made the right choices for puttin out great music...nwa, death row, all the rest we already know... he's just never disappointed thats why i think theres alot of hype and people that can't wait to have another great cd
Yo That Chamillionaire Trak Is The Funniest Song I Ever Heard
First off, Dre IS a Legend in this game just not for his rappin. Its for his composition of music that makes him great. But some of yall givin him to much credit. Some youngsta above is stated as sayin Dre's the reason we know NaS, 2Pac, Ice Cube & Eazy. Well Eazy was the Mastermind behind NWA not Dre. If anything we wouldnt know Dre if it wasn't 4 Eazy.. Ice Cube's most sucessful albums had nothing to do wit Dre not to mention he was written EVERYBODY'S lyrics in NWA.. Pac was platinum before Death Row..
and NaS was platinum wit "It Was Written" which featured only 1 Dre track.. We anticipatin Detox cuz Dre always pioneers a new sound that we all love. He's the Quincy Jones of rap, but who wants to actually hear Quincy Jones RAP??!!
You're a fucking idiot.
Yeah I remeber u sayin that when I said T.O.S was gonna flop. U know that i was an idiot for sayin' that u were wrong, but it is your site so i guess u can do what u want...vieja!
I never said TOS wasn't gonna flop, and you're an idiot for saying the only reason this was written was to shit on Lil Wayne, seriously, as a man, get off that man's crotch. Lil Wayne was referenced because of the massive hype surrounding his release which many, EVEN fans, considered disappointing.
Wow get off a man's crotch!? Member' when all "industry news" section was 50 & The Unit. I mean from them dissin' Nas to Cam to their water to their Youtube page to ThisIs50? I don't like Wayne, I from southern Cali I like Dre's production! On the other hand u were in love with 50 'till he flizz-opped 2x. Detox comin' soon!
as far as sales are concerned yes tos flopped but in all reality it was a great album for 2008..it was far better than carter 3.. and in my opinion it was top 5 of the year..and i no all the game stans are gonna go nuts when game outsells gunit this week but he should considering he is solo and gunit is a group..and solo efforts always do better than group albums..most of the time..but compare the sales against 50 solo and there is no contest and fif will again out sell game when his next album drops before i self destruct...
^ T.O.S. was "okay", there wasn't any song that made me want to rewind it.
lol cham song is great.....n yea i kinda agree abotu the detox thing....dude album is called "DETOX"....to rap about drugs would be completey take away from the name...c'mon dre,leak something
Detoxification not of drugs, or liquor but of todays shitty rap, at least that's what the buzz is over here on the radio and in the clubs.
Im anticipating detox bcuz I just love west coast music & Dre is a pioneer of that. Still Dre & Forgot about Dre are two of my top 5 favorite songs. The nigga just makes good music no matter who's writing for him.
IM ANTICIPATING RZA'S NEXT ALBUM MORE THAN THE DETOX. DRE TOO ME ISNT AS DOPE AS PEOPLE MAKE HIM SEEM. IN MY OPINION HES THE GREATEST BEATJACKER OF ALL TIME. DJ QUICK IS BETTER THAN HIM. HE STARTED HIS CAREER OFF BY RIPPING PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC SAMPLES. THEN THAT PLAYED OUT AND HE STARTED RIPPING OFF UNKNOWN PRODUCERS THAT WERE HUNGRY OFF THEN HE STARTED FINDING DOPE RAPPERS TO RAP OVER OK BEATS TO MAKE A DOPE SONG. DA NIGGA WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT DA RIGHT TIME HES NO GENIUS. PREMO IS A GENIUS/RZA A GENIUS/ PETE ROCK DJ QUIK AND I CANT FORGET JOHNNY J IS DOPER THAN DRE WILL EVER BE
damn Dre lay off them roids homie (tht pic^^) lol
hope it drops this year! highly doubt it will be here in 30 days, lol no way!
tht cham track is kinda wild lol
r.i.p. to his son real talk tho.
"chronic cd was a good album" ....if that's considered a good album then what the fuck is considered a great album?? ...my favorite cd of all time
What I consider a great album prob would differ from what you consider a great album. The Chronic/2001 were good albums but they both have tracks that I'd skip.
A recent album that I can listen all the way through without skipping a single track is Lupe Fiasco's The Cool. I think that album is great--specially for a concept album.
yea i agree with that. Thats an album that you cant bring yourself to skip through no matter many plays you give it.
HeadkRakk ~ 5000
Well the Recession is a great album bcuz I don't wanna skip shit on here. Jeezy put it down with this album. I know I only had it 4 hours but its my favorite album of the year so far.
MAN I PUT IT ON THIS GENRE OF MUSIC THAT WE LOVE THE CARTER 3 HAD TO BE ONE OF NAW THE BIGGEST LET DOWN IN THE HISTORY OF RAP. WAYNE BLEW HIS CHANCE TO ACHIEVE LEGEND STATUS LIKE NAS,JAY-Z,BIG,PAC,ETC...ALL HE DID WAS PROVE TO US HE CAN FREESTYLE LIKE A MUH FUCKA THAT WAS JUST ANOTHER MIXTAPE THAT WAS GIVIN THE MAINSTREAM GO AHEAD. NO HATE INTENDED IT IS WHAT IT IS. IF U WANT A MUSICIANS CRAFT TIME & PATIENCE THEN MM4,THE COOL,THE RECESSION,AMERICAN GANGSTER,THE B.COMING, U KNOW ALBUMS WITH MEANING,STORIES,FULL VERSES,AND MAJOR WORK ETHIC. SORRY LIL WAYNE STANS THAT ALBUM WAS WEAK
NOW AS FAR AS DR.DRE GOES R.I.P HOOD SURGEON AND THIS IS DR.DRE!!! NOT SCOTT STORCH OR A YOUNG KANYE WEST THIS ALBUM IS ANTICIPATED DUE TO HIS LEGACY HIS MUSIC HIS ARTISTS THIS IS MORE THAN GIVING RESPECT WHEN ITS DUE SHIT I EXPECTED IT 2 BE CALLED THE CHRONIC 2008/2009 EVER SINCE THE LAST TRACK ON 2001 WE'VE BEEN WAITING & WAITING & WAITING U CAN CALL OUT GHOST WRITERS ALL U WANT BUT THIS NIGGA PUTS WORK IN HE AINT NO DJ KHALED OR NO SHIT LIKE THAT THIS NIGGA DOES IT BIG WHEN HE DOES DECIDE TO DO IT. NOW I WANNA KNOW JOKESTA HOW THE FUCK U LOST YOUR INTEREST IN IT?
Jokesta U buggin! The Chronic 2001 was a fuckin classic!
And it had one or two songs on it that I hated and will never like
But the overall album is genius
Dre has never been a good rapper but he is actually way more important than just being a good rapper
I cant believe u dont understand why a new Dre album is so heavily anticipated Jokesta
But then again everybody knows that u have some kind of an East coast Bias!
A fresh air from tha same old niggas who make a song every week, I get tired of their voices
Yeah, I don't understand it either. Either y'all are just on his
jock a little too hard or y'all either respect his work.
The dude is one of best, because he has adapted over time; But I know
I'm not waiting for any of his ish. Charles on the other hand...
Dudes just feel themselves to the point that they don't care.
Is it the potential collabos with 50 and Eminem that has everyone on the edge of their seats?
There is my answer right there. Also the Snoop and Dre collabos are always great.
I am not that pumped for it, due to the fact it's not coming.
I don't give a fuck about Detox anymore especially if The Game ain't on it and 50 is. Come on Dre you got to keep it West Coast. Game looks up to you give him a beat. Don't you even understand yet that 50 is garbage right now. Dre I ain't going to support you and I'll make sure others don't support you if you don't have Game on Detox. We'll do our best to make sure it flops! I'm telling you this Dre I've said it many times and I'll make it happen so you better listen
please dre don't need neither of 50 nor game ....get games nuts off your chin
Man the Vikings got the NFC on lock this year. It's our time to shine this year. I got a feeling Tavaris Jackson gon show major improvements in his passing mechanics this year.
I agree, Dre should keep it "West Coast" and leave the "Game" off of it..He is a poor representation of the West Coast, no discussion..
No disrespect to the guy but it would be best if he plays the role of a producer and not drop another album. Come backs never work out the way they're suppose to. Expecially from forgotten artist. He barely broke top 30 when hip hop started out, by now he should be top 30 in third world countries....... HIP HOP look forward to Blueprint III or something...hahaha
HeadkRakk~ 5000
What the fuck is wrong with you Blog. Each album was a fucking sensation. Snoop's, chronics, ems, nwas--those albums you bumped a hundred times that year it came out, and so did everyone else. I go to partys still that play Snoops first two albums front to back during the shit. There is no question you get hyped about Dre's album.
BELIEVE THE HYPE......DRE IS THE TRUTH!!
anticipated cause of every artist ripping tracks. he might not even rap that much on the album
The Dre's albums r very highly anticipated because he always has classic bangers on his albums that become timeless. that u can bump some of his shit from the chronic and have these youngster bobbing there heads like damn this is nice, but as far as rapping yea i must agree he is not that great and what i consider a great album where i dont have to skip a track is East 1999 Bone Thugs till this day i bump.
The hype is this: He's the greatest producer of all-time...no discussion point blank, and his album and the production along with the collabos (cuz you know erybody gon wanna be on it) will be insane, and the album will sell. On top of all that, the album will be a fresh new look for hip-hop and where it stands right now...Learn it.
ReDef.
I dont know about the greatest producer of all time i mean he does make bangers but i wouldnt call him the greatest! as far as old school producers go i would give props to Quik, Primo Then Dre.
Yeah, about the changes, this is for the forum
To get the fuck you and thank you buttons back
And able to embed the youtube videos like we were able to before
cosign and oh yea as for out here in the main site I guess ppl would like to see who be trashin them....lol
about time theres a site with some sort of sence
"Don't front, Tha Carter 3 was a HUGE disappointment"
completely agree
if wayne is apparently 'ghost writing some of dres verses' i dont belive ill be buying it
i wont be able to listen to such a legendary rapmogul spittin the rhymes a no-talent R&B singer (t-wayne) writes for him..
just wont happen
but im pretty sure the Doctor has more sence then to let wayne ghost write for him
The hype is because the man's a legend.
Like everyone else said, The Chronic & 2001 we're classics.
And because of the time that he puts in between all of his albums is what makes it even more anticipated. Some rappers drop albums like every 2 years, maybe more maybe less, but i don't think that there are any rappers that do it in like 9 years between them, that's a lot of time man.
Plus he also has said that he won't be talkin about lowriders and blunts and all that anymore, wich makes us wonder what it is going to be about.
That's what all the hype is about, but right now, the man is in a lot of pain and stress, he's lost his son and everyone keeps talkin about Detox, we can't even imagine how he must feel like right now, so stop all the questions about his album and let the man take his time.
The reason i think err1 is impatiently waiting on dre is because...I mean common its fucken dre!!!!How many albums has dre produced that are must haves???I bet95% of the ppl on this site have an album in thier stack that includes at least two classics produced by dre or a downloaded one at least.(sighs)Nowadays the word "classic" gets thrown around loosely and jokestas opinion about 2001 not being a classic is just that.Its an opinion.Lets have a show of hands of the ppl that think 2001 is a bonafide classic(nomo).U see there,I knew ud all agree.Now just take a look at the good doc's resume and ask urself if thiers any reason not to be anticipating Dr.Dre's new album???Dont worry ill wait...Yet and still to see one bloggers opinion being presented and all of a sudden u get all the "ive felt like this for a long time ,or "I completley agree" comments ,Just like when jokesta explained he was a jeezy fan and now the tone has significantly changed on this site when it comes to jeezy material.Come on ppl think for yourselves.Or better yet listen to me cause this shit right here is gospel.SIKE!!!Just make sure u break bread and go get the album from an actual music retailer this time.But even if all the buzz is not understood it is what it is BUZZZZ!!!!Jokestas blog just contributes to it, and i know there is gonna be a non bias review on this album when it drops.If at all possible.So once again go get some o.t. put ur change in that piggy bank or hit up ur B.M.'z for the relish u need to purchase Detox
jokesta bitch you been a hater
I think that this album it will be a classic. cause DRE stil DRE !!!!
Jokesta, put Fire Drill on the singles section. Shit is hot!
i dont even like dre that much i think he is over rated thats just what i think
