How Much Would Detox Sell If Dr. Dre Dropped It Randomly?

[Monster]

Dr Dre's Detox is a running joke in hip hop that it's never gonna come out and couldn't live up to the hype if it did, but there's a scenario in which it could blow past the hype it already has.


Imagine if for every classic or big project/time period Dre has worked on, that he saved 1-2 potential hits and stashed them away rather than putting them on the album.

we know there's a lot of music he never puts out, and has worked with a lot of big names without any of the songs ever coming out. if he has been saving potential 'hits' from each classic he was apart of, and then released an album filled with him, he could release something that blows past the crazy hype detox already has.


listening to it would be like revisiting a time period, while still hearing something new

imagine an album with...

1-2 unheard would be GKMC hits

1-2 potential Hits from GRODT

1-2 from MMLP

1-2 from the Documentary

and so on from all the big projects he's worked on.

would be the most nostaligc album ever revisiitng all these time periods while still hearing new shyt.


how much would it sell if he dropped it randomly?

It's sad because it's true..

I read somewhere that it's not going to be called Detox anymore, assuming it will be released.

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]

He gave all the best beats away from time. And all that shyt will sound dated now.

 

[JustCKing]

The only reference to how Detox would've sounded is Relapse. Since 2001, Relapse is the most recent album fully produced by Dr. Dre (aside from "Beautiful"). There's even several songs on there where Dre isn't using co-producers.

Let's see what he does for the str8 outta Compton soundtrack.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

It could definitely be great compared to the albums that come out now....

But no matter how good it is, it can never live up to the hype....

nawwww, people would be hype to go back to a different time period. just think of a coujple GKMC songs that didn't go on the album, but still sound like the album does.

nawww, imagine if it was 90% old beats from all the different classics he was involved with, songs that aren't necessarily bad, but just ones that he decided to store away. Throw in a couple new songs, and you got something special

 

[CHICAGOrilla]

If he work with current LA artist like yg and kendrick n nipsey etc he could make some noise cuz cmon who tryna hear a 50 cent or xzibit verse in 2015?

 

[Roovers410]

Is this 2005? marty you there?

 

[JuvenileHell]

It's gonna top The Chronic

 

[I love Latina women]
