Eminem Holds Up Dre's Detox

by Jokesta on November 25th, 2008

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/889/907/8308/asset.jpgGet ready to scratch off yet another album off your Christmas wishlist this year folks. As most of you may have already guessed, Dr. Dre's highly--and at this point, mythical- - album, Detox has been pushed back a 2009 release.

The official word has arrived care of Interscope Records's head honcho, Jimmy Iovine. In a recent interview with Billboard, Iovine says Eminem is the reason for yet another rescheduling of the long awaited album.

"We only tried to put him [Eminem] out this year to replace Dr. Dre, but we got into a quagmire." Iovine tells Jonathan Cohen of Billboard.

" Eminem was always coming next year. But what happened was, I lost Dr. Dre to Eminem. Dre had to stop making his album to finish Eminem's album. Eminem hit a streak, and when a guy like Eminem gets on fire, you stop everything. That's how we lost Dre" he continued.

Iovine insists that Dre will be back to work on Detox after January, hinting at a first quarter release for Eminem.

"Dre's going back in in January. He'll be finished with Eminem by then, and he'll finish his album."

Interscope was to see a big fourth quarter this year with the releases of 50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct, Eminem's Relapse, and Dr. Dre's Detox, however all three albums have been pushed back to 2009.

All 3 albums are long awaited, its been since 2005 since we seen an Eminem album, almost a decade since we seen a Dr. Dre album (I’m still bumping The Chronic & 2001 to this day,. and we already know about 50 Cent’s finally last album. Detox has been BIG talk with Dre for years and he needs to show people that he really means it and drop that album.

2009 will have a BIG year for hip hop with albums like Lupe Fiasco’s LupEND, Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3, Chamillionaire’s Venom and many more.

By the way… DA FAKEST, DECEMBER 16, DON’T DOWNLOAD IT, DON’T BUY IT (pliies goat gets emotional when I do this)

shit is retarded man. chronic 2001 came out in ‘99, and granted its not all he’s been workin on, it does not take damn near 10 years to release a new album even if you record and master one track a month it would only take a year or two to finish that. these dudes just have too much money and too much time on their hands to spend it. their albums better be fire though cause there’s no excuses now.

yea nobody cares about the 50 album…

id rather dre do this n release a good album then to have like 9 good songs n a ton of shitty fillers. itll b worth it im sure, but at least hurry up on relapse so we can have somethin man!

also, if dre would just release ONE DAMN SINGLE i think everyone would b satisfied. i think people just want to kno that hes actually doing somethin with it, but i know personally if he dropped a hot song id bump it for weeks.

think of it this way, the west is kinda dead right now… crook is aite but hes not bringin it back like the old days. when dre releases detox, n its gonna b a hot ass album i can garuntee, hell bring it back to the old days. dre drops classics. thats y he dont drop mediocre albums every couple years between good ones.

This is okay i guess Dre wants to send the Lieutenants Em & Fiddy)( first and then the General (Andre Young) later, quite understandable and looking forward to Detox, BISD,Relapse.

Murder Inc,
You are a fanoboy of a guy who has fucked up 3 record deals for himself has been fucked up the asshole by shady busta 50 obie ect. (verbally).
So how do you get off typing this shit, first off research on why the beef was “squashed” even tho ja rule also said on an interview I’m trying to get my career back on track so I’m done with all the beef.
Second off Ja did more than 1 diss with fucking Benzero.

Go back to the fucking lamest label ever where Irv’s fat ass is on them tablets fucking benzero, and Ja Fool up their pussies.

im sitting here on my laptop wondering just how much of a dumb-fuck you are, really and im impressed by your level stupidity. skin color has nothing to do with it. niggas cop shit depending on how gud it is and not the skin color of the artist and for your info, just cuz 55% of whites didnt vote for Obama doest necessarily mean they are racist u stupid imbecile.

ur just pissy cuz ja rule sucks dick now and cant even make it onto the billboards charts, thats wat happens when u beef with the whiteboi Em. face it nigga, Ja aint relevant anymore. he did an Osama on us and disappered.

man i agree with that but im kinda confused when it comes to shady/aftermath theyve had all these great artists and never have given them a shot like stat quo who was on shadyaftermath for like 3 years didnt even release anything. than obie left but i thought he was doing pretty good cause his first album went plat and second went gold but o well him and em are still cool. but cashis has been on shady since 06 and has only put out an EP and his album was supposed to come out this time last year but hes probably gonna have to wait another year cause 50,em,and dre coming out early this year, and bobby creek hasnt had any buzz is he still alive. and dre lost joell, busta, and many others who were good but got put off until they quit and d12 was supposed to come out last year too what happened to them….i just hope after the 3 headed monster albums come out that em and dre can help out there dudes that have their back and not keep pushing them aside

@ cypress: my guess is cuz dre and the people at interscope are perfectionists so if they find one mistake or flaw with an album then it will not get released.
