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.
In other news…
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.

One hell of a double edged sword.
Well we already waited this long if hes gonna help Eminem get Relapse out which is also LONG overdue than thats fine. Detox and Relapse will probably the Albums of the Year in 2009.
the real reason detox got pushed back was cause 50 got pushed back
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)
i cant believe we have to wait another year for this bullshit... dtox was supposd to be the best album of 05 now its still being pushed till 09...wtf is dis we aint gonna see dis till the next decade... one album every decade
why are people trashin me 50 droppes in febuary all shady/aftermaths money is going to go towards that, that means ems album gets pushed back at least a month and that means dres album gets pushed back a month fuckboys
i wasnt even surprised. i didnt even read the whole article.
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.
why would you comment first on your own post.. what did you forget to add that clever 'double edged sword' zinger in there?
Don't Shoot Em,

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.

is ja even alive anymore ohh yea thats right em and d12 killed him on hailes revenge
I was going to prop you for get rich or die snitchin
but then I read the rest
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.
murder inc is dead and is never coming back get over it
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.
more white people voted for obama then black people because theres more white peeps in america and just cause they voted for obama dosnt mean they racist and obamas half white anyways you the racist
***didnt vote for obama
and now the u.s. has a black president and your still complaing get over yourself
@murder: jus like joovy said, i am really impressed with the level of your stupidity. saying to not buy an album becsue someone is white is racist. racism goes both ways dumbass. *sarcasm* --> and as for the obama thing, they couldn't have possibly not voted for him cuz they did not agree with his ideas right?
Kill yourself please
OK and what percentage of blacks voted for Mccain?
i forgot somthing.
kill yourself.
if Ja Rule is the GOAT then that means i fatherd you boi and trust me i aint neva been anywhere near ur mama's hairy pussy fuck boi.
JA RULE GOAT?
You're a confused ass faggot.. NO ONE bumps that shit anymore.. NO ONE
coming onto a page about Eminem and Dre speaking Ja Rule's name.. thats hilarious, acting like people dont remember when Em and his whole camp bodied Ja
MURDER INC IS DEAD!!!
damn again..we never gonna see Detox...the west take to damn long to put out albums..Game just drop another classiq w/ kurupt, snoop and dj quik call it "the new detox"
I don't Even give a fuck anymore.......if detox comes out it just does.....so dissappointed tho
dre the slowest guy in the industry, detox should be perfect, if it ain't then dre fucked up and kept a lot of people waiting, but I'm hoping it's a classic, not too bothered about fif, but em should be good!
Oh well..I'll just have to wait..AGAIN!!
It was very obvious that dre wasnt gonna drop detox this year
2009 gonna be a hot year for hip-hop
Eminem - Relapse
50 Cent - Before I Self Destruct
Cashis - The Art Of Dying (Im Anticipating The Most)
Dr. Dre - Detox
Bobby Creekwater - A Brilliant Mistake (?)
Lupe Fiasco - LupEND
Andre 3000 & Big Boi Solo Projects and Group Album
Jay-Z - Blue Print 3
Lil Wayne - Carter 4 (Possibly)
Chamillionaire - Venom
Bishop Lamont -Reformation
Obie Trice - Bottom's Up
Stat Quo
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.
haha you still beleive its commin out in 09'? Detox probablly gonna be pushed back til 2011
i can't wait for thezes rappers drop they new album out imma b geekin like shit u naw meen
i new all these hyped albums coming out this year was to good to be true
Well 50 album was gonna suck any way.
Em album will be the hardest our of all of them in my opinion...Learn it.
ReDef.
man i bet both these albums are gonna be garbage. been pushed back so many times ppl are gonna expect to have eargasms and when that doesnt happen they are gonna talk shit.
