So I’ve been following this very, very, VERY closely. And the more and more info that drops the more and more it seems that the long-awaited (one decade to be exact!) will come to fruition.
I have spent the past ten years dreaming of this album. While a large part of me is cynical to the whole situation, an even bigger part of me is jumping for joy and my adrenaline starts pumping. As I ramble on, I just want to say that (in my drunken opinion) “Detox” will be the definition of hip-hop AND of my generation. I grew up listening to “The Chronic” (thanks to my cousins). As I matured – went through puberty and discovered who I am – I found myself listening to Dre’s “2001″ album. To finally hear “Detox” would bring my life full circle, musically speaking. It’s the final frontier. I live life with a soundtrack.
This upcoming album from Dr. Dre is an important album for me, many people all over the world, and hip hop in general. The world expects beyond perfection from it. Sh*t, I expect to see sounds blossoming out of my speakers as I listen! Many expect it to change the landscape of music and with the last ten years of rumors, false release dates, unfinished tracks being leaked and over all hype, it’s not hard to understand why. This album CANNOT FAIL. It simply is not an option. But as more information and details trickle out of this huge story, I begin to think “Damn, I’m just happy its finally dropping!”

NOTE: the actual release date for Dr. Dre’s “Detox” is unclear. While it is most likely that it will be released this year, no exact date has been given. As soon as it becomes available (or leaked, God I hope so), we will post our review. There is a lead single that is expected to be released in a week or two featuring Jay-Z(pictured above). Be expecting a quick review on that as the “teaser” for the album.
