Detox is finally coming out.
- Thread starter Casey
- Start date
This album has taken way too long, theres no way this will live up to the expectation that ppl have had for detox... tbh i dont think dre has made 400 songs.. if he has surely kush cant be his best? i mean its mediocre at best but i wont be listening to this track years from naw, unlike forgot about dre which you can go back and listen to it
Just imagine that the song "Forgot About Dre" was not on 2001. No-one heard of it, knew about it or heard anything like it. This song is on detox and the lead single on Detox.
"Ho Please
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to smoke trees
Who you think brought you the o' G's
Eazy-E's Ice Cube's and D.O.C's and Snoop D O double G's
And a group that said muthafuck the police
Gave you a tape full of dope beats
To bump when stroll through in your hood
And when your album sales wasn't doin too good
Who's the doc that he told you to go see?"
It'd be a perfect reintroduction (if you had to pick a song from 2001 to put on Detox). What im trying to say is, i'd hoped for a similar type of song to make the statement that Dre is the MF'in pioneer of rap (as the lead single). I hope he goes out with a bang and that this album takes us all by surprise in a good way after we have all underestimated him!! i just really hope so.
But again, ive set my expectations at Detox having good songs, not classics; maybe hits.

The sad thing is that most of older artists try too hard to sound "modern, cool" and sometimes even innovative which usually makes them fail miserably. That seems to be true for Dre, many Wu-tang members, even a bit with Snoop but he's somehow holding on. I wish they just continued doing what they did and took more inspiration from their previous hits instead of modern music because the latter usually results in a fail combination. Like a middle-age crisis.
I think that a pretty good example of an artist getting old in a proper way is Method Man.

It's not that I don't like it, it's that there are so many other new songs I'd rather listen to at this point in time. I'd rather listen to the all of the lights interlude on the Kanye album than the Kush track. I'd rather listen to Chris Rock talk about reupholstered pussy than listen to this song. It's not that it sucks. It's simply not good enough to warrant 3-4 minutes on my iTunes playlist. When Detox comes out, I won't skip the track.
