probably a leftover. dre hasn't called dude since pimp my ride got cancelled.

Dre's engineer Vito mixed Xzibits whole album, plus he was on recent joints with Bishop (produced by Dre) and Slim The Mobster. X is definitely still fukking with Dre, and vice versa.

Everyone is quick to throw Dre under the bus, but what other producers from the 80s are still musically relevant. Quincy didn't hit his peak until he was 50, Dre about to do the same, and no matter what people say, you will all listen to whatever Dre drops next.

What was wrong with his single "Kush"? I won't lie, I loved that joint...and I still play it from time to time.

What was that single actually for? Was that on any album at all, or just some randomly released single?

Kush was tough! Vintage Dre sound (even tho Khalil made the beat) but still...it was a dope single and it was exactly what I wanted: Dre givin us what he always gives us, just a little more updated. The audience doesn't want him to reinvent the wheel, just give us that Dre shyt. That shyt cracked in the club too, I dono y it never blew up, shyt was hot :manny: only thing it lacked was Nate dogg instead of akon, but he couldn't do it for obvious reasons...

Dre needs to stop worrying about setting the bar too high for himself. I'm sure if he aggregated the best songs he recorded for detox we'd have multiple classics.

Detox is coming because of the acclaim of GKMC.

GKMC in 2012 = SSLP in 1999


sllp released in feb 1999... "2001" released in november 1999------


Dre waited to see the acclaim and commercial succes of his DEBUt artist EMINEM before he released 2001

hes doin EXACTLY the dame with kendrick... the monentum and hype is building.. DRE knows when to strike when the irons hot


2013 :wow:


the most interesting subject tho is the dynamic between EM (the past) and kendrick Dre new protege... the battle MC in EM makes me think that while EM respects kendrick as an MC and artist... the comeptiveness within him will elevate his MCin to prove that this nw dude aint got nothin on him... wonder if they will be friends or if will look at him as only an obstacle he needs t crush to firther cement his legacy


2013 :blessed:


EM's solo will drop around MAY/JUNE with Dre solo droppin end of NOV early DEC.. history repeats itself :wow:

Dre has always had lowkey bytch tendencies, and it really manifests itself in how fickle he is with putting out music.

" :wrist: i dont wanna put it out if it's not world changing...i cant be just put out anything"

his perfectionism is akin to the lightskinned bytch who spends 4 hours getting ready for a house party,and takes so long that nobody really wants to fukk with her cause she's never ready on time....... but cause she looks fly as fukk and shuts shyt down when she does finally come out, they still fukk with her.

:russ:

Them detox snippets was the equivelant of walking in on that lightskin chick in the bathroom while she gettin ready and seeing her standing up takin a piss:leon:...suddenly we wuz sick of waitin:whew:

dre wack....

evdiently his co producers arent up to par so he is waiting for them to step up...

i hope no dre fans are waiting for a wholly produced album by dre.... i would say that 80% of his next album that drops wont even be produced by him

his production skills have always be suspect....

Nah breh, till this day, aint nothing sounding like a Dre beat..

you know a Dre beat when you hear it.... that shyt be like :whoo::ohhh:

even when we got unmastered tracks like Topless, that shyt was still so good, that you knew once it was properly mastered it would be epic.

while the playing field has leveled to an extent, but even with Kush...his shyt wasn't sounding like anything else out at the time.

I Need a Doctor was :gag: but nobody was putting out anything with a sound that full either...

Even on the "Compton" track that Just Blaze did, you can tell Dre did the mixing on it.

Dre and DJ Quik are music nerds to the point where it doesn't matter how great the technology gets, they'll always be 5 steps ahead.

:wow: that dude Quik is so underrated it's pitiful. IMO he is just as good as dre when it comes to mixing and mastering as dre. He may not have the monster hits dre had but I think his music is great on its on.

Your probably right in what you just said about the comparison with GKMC and SSLP especially in terms of artistry and concepts with both debuts. Section 80 is SSEP.

Kendrick's follow up if the pattern follows would be even bigger mainstream than his debut but he would still find a way to stay hip hop while elevating his lyrics

:noah:

Dre and Em on the other hand I know its hard man but just let it go. Its a new era both of them are done.

You already admitted to a Nas stan earlier than you believe Nas has a superior discography. If someone has had 3 bad/average at best albums in a row, how would they magically get supremely better.

I hope you aint having false hope that this is a Mariah Glitter transition to Emancipation of Mimi moment.

What in Em's life would motivate a reactionary artist like him? Fans aren't the ones who can do it allt he time. The whole "using energy to prove critics" wrong can be corny sometimes and comes across as forced unless done properly.

As an Em fan I know it is hard to deal with and I don't even mean that in a cocky way. Em is in his Elvis early 70s period in terms of relevancy the only difference is he is sober. Just let it go.

On the bright side though I love your writing style I wanna get mine more neat like that

Was true over 10 years ago :troll:
