Dre had to give up on Detox because the brand of gangster rap that defined his career became outdated. If he was gonna do it, it needed to be around 04-05 when Game, 50 and Eminem were still at their peaks. By the time 06 hit, we had moved on to Lil Wayne, Jeezy, Kanye, Swisher House, Hyphy and a post-Jay-Z era. Then once we got to 07, T-Pain and auto tune had taken over, and it was a wrap for anything gangsta once Drake hit the scene in 09- that's why Dre put out Kush with Akon to try and stay current with the r&b sound and test the waters. People liked it, but it got a mediocre response in contrast to his previous work. That's when he knew the reaction to Detox wouldn't live up to his expectations. Then we got to see him work with Kendrick and release "Compton: The Album", which did good and was praised by critics because Kendrick was super hot at the time, but the general public didn't care about that album... I say all this to say that timing is everything and he missed the boat. Even him making a whole album with one of the top rappers in the game (Kendrick) wasn't enough to live up to his classic or bust standards. I just hope that he'll find it in his heart to release all the scrapped Detox songs he recorded because all the old heads like me would be elated.

100% agree with you, this is exactly what I was thinking. Kanye came in and changed the whole sound in '04 itself, only the remnants of gangsta rap (The Documentary, The Massacre, G-Unit) survived till '06. The death of the sub-genre was nigh and Dre could see the writing on the wall. Would be a massive misstep if he butchered his legacy which will be remembered long after all of us are gone by releasing an out of date record.

Ultimately it's about the money. An average album is more damaging to his pocket than no album at all because he is a brand who rightfully uses that leverage to not just make a legacy but continually make financially gainful moves. Your public perception effects how much people want to pay you from people wanting to work with you, endorsements, and business deals that would otherwise rely on his image/name to market.

Wtf? Detox

At this point he should just release a Detox Boxset. Separate the tracks based on the eras dating back to the year 2001. Maybe even include reference tracks that Dre didn't do vocals for. Put it out. A boxset won't be judged the same as a album. But it would make use of all the material, allow for Dre to use songs for movies and other product placements as well as gain royalties on uploads on KZread. Also it could be exclusive to Apple Music which can help push that service. There is a lot of upside to putting out all the music. Same with the Pac stuff. Once that is released they can gain revenue on uploads of the content and use in commercials, shows, movies, video games etc. I wish Dre would release it all, get Em to release Relapse 2 and King Mathers, Pac estate releases the remaining 150 songs and the original songs Pac did. Rakim even has a unreleased album produced by Dre not heard. Dre also has tons of unreleased from 1988-1999. So much content there to give us oldschool fans music for ages. But all the shit just collecting dust in a vault or lost and forgotten in a server.

I could see that. I would like to see more artists do what Johnny Cash did on his last couple albums (I know, I know, country music but hold on.) He basically said "I spent my whole life putting out music for the world, I'm going to make music for myself." He just put out covers of other people's songs that he enjoyed, along with some original content. It was nothing compared to the albums from his glory days, but to a diehard fan it was amazing and quite an experience to hear what the ARTIST wanted to hear and do, versus what the artist wanted the world to hear. If Dre could do the something similar, I could see it being successful. Even if he just released a double album. Make one greatest hits/rare-unreleased material, and the other what he did like from Detox sessions. That way it's not a hyped up release or anything, just something casual for the old head fans to stir up nostalgia.

I also remember back in 2003, just a couple of months before they released GRDT, in the XXL magazine, Dre said 50 was getting "the cream of the crop" with respect to the beats that were originally slated for Detox. That would make sense too that they had 100 songs that they reduced down to 17 or 18 for the final track list of the album. To your point about the unreleased songs we don't know about....it's been said by many former Aftermath artists that Dre is such a perfectionist, that after making hundreds, literally hundreds of songs for him to hear, he still didn't think none of them were good enough to be released commercially. This was definitely the case with Rakim, Raekwon, King T, etc. You might remember Slim The Mobster, from the west coast, who people were saying was going to be "the next best thing" out the west, like ten years ago or so. There was a lot of hype around him so Dre signed him around 2010 or so if I'm not mistaken. In an interview he did recently, he told the radio show host that he recorded NINE HUNDRED songs...no BS...literally 900 damn songs when he was on Aftermath, that never got released. That's why everyone left Aftermath. Years pass before they even get to release anything. Em, Kendrick, and Anderson Paak are the lucky ones, everyone else is either gone or been on the back burner for YEARS.

Dre should just release a giant “Decades of Detox” music library. It doesn’t have to be a cohesive, tight album. It can be a collection of music. Today’s streaming world actually makes something like that a favorable format. His true fans and hip hop fans love him and his process enough to listen and enjoy it as that.

Dre is one of those producers that likes to go off his “feel” for music; He never could get a feel for what the current generation is into because of the new hip hop “genesis” that happened when trap music and Soulja Boy came into the fold. Plus a lot of the Cali artists he fucked with were just old, including himself. Dre is not going to stamp an album unless it’s either revolutionary or evolutionary and Detox was going to be neither. A part of me wish J. Dilla was alive because I felt like he would’ve collaborated with him as far as creating a new sound. Dre has done shit like that with Hi Tek, Scott Storch and Mel Man. If he and Dilla could’ve worked together they would’ve did something special but Dilla died right when a lot garbage ass hip hop came out and the game was never the same.

Dr Dre owe to his fans. Please release Detox.

Song from Detox leaked on November 16, 2020 called Get It on John Smith's KZread channel. Damn near 40K views. The guy who runs that channel had to have worked at Aftermath with so much rare music he releases.

Sad that dre scrapped the project. It would've been dope if he got creative with it. Imagine if it was a 3 disk type of album. The first one consisting of the original tracks that would've came out back in the day. It would've had That old sound, the stories and wordplay, the skill set of where everyone was at, at the time. It would've sounded like 2000s Dre. The 2nd disk, consisting of collabs with newer modern artist that came out in 2010s, maybe push for some radio hits. 3rd disk consisting of all or most artist from disk 1 but with that modern sound. How good everyones production quality has increased. See how everyones grown in the craft or changed. Perfect example, eminem in early 2000s does not make tracks the way he used to. Even when he raps as slim shady now its just not the same. Get to see how Dre raps now vs then too. Mash the old artist with some of the new. It could've been the ultimate album. A project through time.

Man I thought Detox was gonna be like him claiming the 3rd heavyweight title of the world 🌍 like Ali. He has already done enough with his first two solo albums (not even counting all is other work, productions, features and NWA days). However it would have been special to see this 3rd solo album. NEW SUB

It was on the Eminem Show album way back in 2002 that on one of the tracks Dre shouts the line - look out for detox! At the time I wasn't sure if he meant an album or whether he had signed a new rapper called Detox! Can only assume a finished cut of the detox album exists somewhere in Dre's house. I remember liking the under pressure instrumental beat when it leaked and it was the first beat production I had heard from him for years. When under pressure leaked you could only assume the album wasn't far behind. Detox has become a kind of a Chinese Democracy type thing although the democracy album was eventually released.

Everybody talking about Detox but, If you remember in 2000/01 NWA anounced that would release a new album called "Not These Niggaz Again", even they included Snoop in the group in the place of Eazy E. They released a song called "Chin Check" but the album was never dropped. Imagine that studio sessions of NWA now.

Before I start watching this. I'll say that the HYPE for the Detox album grew bigger than Dr Dre expected.

Great video breakdown fr. I got lost in the hype and couldn't wait for this album since I read about it in XXL's most anticipated albums of 2004 then I remember reading Dre saying he wasn't doing it a few months later in that same year as you posted in this vid to then being back on board with it. I followed it for so long and got caught up with everything Aftermath yet Aftermath became a sinking ship. I still think you should do a breakdown of all the 40 artists or so as well as scrapped projects Dre has left on the table. His vaults are stockpiled and he keeps recording but never releases anything because it's just a hobby to him and as Chris The Glove (iconic DJ from the West and co producer/ghost producer/mixer on Chronic, 2001, Doggystyle and Firm tracks) says he knows how to put out the 1% and shelve the 99% of other material that isn't his best. Still I wanna hear all that music.

Anyone who heard the studio snippet of Young World needs this album in their lives

The perfect windows were when 50 cent first entered the game or when Kendrick first got here. That’s when hip hop was crazy. We probably would have love the album either way though.

Fucking great song. It had such a “Detox” feel to it too idk how to describe it lol

I think 04 was the last year Detox had a chance to shine, Great commentary 👍👍

I think Dre should do two mix tapes leading up to detox: Pill A and Pill B. Pill A could be him coming out with banging beats and working with past, top tier lyricists, and Pill B could be the same, but with newer artists. He could continue the hip hop opera theme of going through this journey through the eyes of a character. Pill A could be when said character is in their younger days. Pill B could be about the same character, but this time older. Just a thought.

Not sure if it’s intentional but it’s sort of a genius move. Yesterday is completion but tomorrow is immortal. When I think about the The Chronic album and what it meant to rap, I feel the same about Detox as I do about Pac; the idea alone was paid so far in advance and in such great contribution that IF the project is still alive and well somewhere, just let it live. It’s earned that

I used to call Detox the Duke Nukem Forever of hip hop but that game eventually came out.

I always say if 50 & Game didn’t split up that project would of Been Came Out 🎯 #IdcIdc

i had a mixtape that i at least for two years thought, was actually detox because it was so good. it you i adore, higher and tother productions with mary j blige, method man etc. it was sick, so thats my consolation

It was some fire on there there’s one joint from Ludacris that was bananas

it will come out.

Marketing Strategy 💯

Real question is why Dr Dre didn't sign that prenup! Damn

This is a good breakdown. He felt like he lost ownership of Detox. As for the comment section, if you made a ghost writing joke or said something about the presenter’s face - I hate you. You lot are why we have mumble rap and 69 and no Detox.

I remember on the encore album Eminem said " Detox 2006" 😄😄. I guess dre couldn't find good enough ghost producers

Dre is also a perfectionist. I assume that's another reason why it never came out

I always thought because the sound changed

That's one thing that I been waitin' on, he already had two great classics, all he needed was more more for an epic finish, sound would of been crisp and updated, featurin' artists that you'd expect like Em, 50, Game, XZ, Snoop, Warren, Nate, Cube, Ren, Yella, Quik, Jay, Mary J, Kendrick, Wayne, throw in Eazy's vocals like he did with Compton, get some new artists. But if it came out durin' the mid 2000s like it was supposed to it would of sounded the same way you'd hear from Game's The Documentary album, most tracks that Dre was gonna use for it just gave it to all his proteges.

Detox, the album that will never come.

Like... the... channel... concept :).U got a sub dude. I'm gutted the cube album from dre didn't come out. I guess time had moved on.

Compton is 🔥is gets better with each listen especially the anderson paak tracks

Under pressure was 🔥🔥🔥

It's gonna come out next year.
