My favorite part is how the title states that “DETOX is Finished” but then goes on to explain that it’s not quite finished yet.

I agree with the last cooment, its ridiculous to compare Guns and Roses to Dre. Its far better to compare Dre to an innovative California producer and vocalist from the past: the Beach Boy’s Brian Wilson. Both started by providing vocals to songs distinctly Californian: songs about girls, cars, and parties. As they continued to make music, both Dre and Wilson became involved in producing songs until their production styles became unique and widely regarded. As your local college music professor about the production in Pet Sounds or your local rap enthusiast about Dre’s beats. Now Brian Wilson eventually got fed up with songs about girls and cars, he wanted to do something meaningful, he wanted to make an album that would change the world. From Scott Storche’s comment that Dre’s album is the most technologically advanced hip hop album and Dre’s statements about the profundity of Detox that grow in proportion to its delay, we can only compare him to one man and one album: Brian Wilson’s legendary Smile album.

those who ahve been dr dre fans from the beginning know that he has always taken his time busting out a new album so this really isn’t anything new as far as how he’s been operating. i know rollingstone is excited aboutt he new guns n roses album getting ready to come out but to compare it to dr dre’s detox…ummm naw i wouldn’t do that. its been almost close to 18 years since a new gnr album was released? compare gnr r to THE WHO. they have been working on they followup album bout the same amount of time or more. Dr dre has no business even being mentioned to gnr. i’ll say this tho, dre hasn’t released not one abd album so this next and final one is gonna b tight, u can count on that.

what is it with with rolling stone mentioning Chinese constantly at the moment.

Do you know something we don’t ??
:)

tis good news
thats how macbeth would say it
anyways
snoop isnt as good as he was in the 90s
i mean he has some hits here and there but its more cold then hot for me
and one question does anyone care about chinese democracy
it will suck i mean it he probably hasnt recorded one song yet

I’ll believe it when I see it.

This is damn good news. However I wouldn’t necessarily refer ro Detox as the ‘rap equivalent’ of Chinese Democracy. For one thing, we all know Dre has actually been WORKING since his last effort (producing tracks for other artists, etc) and getting results while Axl only has a half-assed VMA performance to his name. Secondly, it’s been about 8 years since Dre’s last album, while Axl’s… oh, excuse me, ‘Guns N Roses’ has taken close to twice that amount of time.

it’s about fuckin’ time for multiple things:

1) dre to produce snoop again–snoop’s albums are ridiculous now… especially compared to doggystyle and the like.

2) dre to come back (despite him saying on 2001–”give me one more platinum plaque and fuck rap, you can have it back”)

3) chinese democracy to be renamed to something not so played out–i don’t care about hearing the album as much as I just don’t want to hear that stupid title again.
