Snoop Says Dr Dre Album Detox Is Coming

According to Power 106's statement, Snoop Dogg spoke to Los Angeles radio mainstay Big Boy, and his Neighborhood Show about a number of upcoming things.

Presently working his Willie Nelson-assisted, Everlast-produced single "My Medicine" to radio and video, Snoop Dogg shocked some when he spoke about mentor Dr. Dre's long anticipated album Detox.

"That record is real it’s coming,” Snoop Dogg said. “You know me, I was starting to doubt it myself and then I went up there and [Dr. Dre] played so much music for me it knocked my head off."

The quote also leads many to question whether Snoop, Dre's most successful musical protege, besides Eminem, will be appearing on Detox if he merely heard it. In 1999, Snoop Dogg appeared on three songs from Dr. Dre's last album, 2001. Two of those appearances, "Still D.R.E." and "Next Episode" would be singles.

Snoop also added that Dr. Dre would be executive producing the Long Beach icon's next album. The last Snoop Dogg album that Dr. Dre has served in an executive role on was Doggstyle, Snoop's critically acclaimed 1993 debut.

Dre makes timeless albums. I think detox will be no different. Where he and other producers differ, is in there approach to creating music. Most of today's producers create songs that are radio ready. Dre creates songs that you can ride to from track one to whenever the album ends, it is art. I am an early nineties product of listening to Hip Hop. I've been spoiled by Nas, Biggie and Jay-Z and before that Rakim and Cool G Rap. Today if your under 25 your understanding (not all of you) of hip hop is basically listening to gimmicky music. I can't remember the last classic album I heard. I think Lil Wayne is talented and he comes close but I can't remember most lines when I listen to music today.But I could recite most of Biggie's work, Jay-Z and Rakim. Today I remember the hooks more so than the rhymes which explain today's music. Young kids think 50 cent albums are hot and they are garbage filled with basically hot beats. It's like hiphop has been dumbed down in favor of hot beats over writing/ryhming skills. Anyway just my peace, I'm sure Detox will be fire.
