Snoop Dogg Confirms Dr. Dre’s “Detox” is Finished

6/26/08, 12:20 pm EST

Dr. Dre’s Detox could be considered the rap equivalent of Guns n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy. Both albums are long in the making, oft-delayed and sometimes seem entirely fictional. But as we discovered that Chinese Democracy is close to becoming a reality thanks to those leaked tracks, Snoop Dogg confirmed today that Detox is on its way as well. “That record is real, it’s coming,” Snoop Dogg said, having recently recorded tracks for Dre’s album. “I was starting to doubt it myself and then I went up in there and he played so much music for me it knocked my head off.” Snoop also adds the album is finished, and now it’s up to Dre to go through all the songs he’s culled and decide which make the final cut. “I see what he got them waiting for, it’s on and poppin’,” the Doggfather said. Snoop also revealed that Dre will produce his next record, the follow-up to Ego Trippin’.

They aren’t comparing the artists you idiots they are comparing the similarities in albums. Everyone waited forever for Guns N’ Roses album just like everyone has been waiting for Dre’s album since it was hinted at 4 years ago in 2004.

Oh and comparing the beats that soulja boi makes to dre’s is like comparing Kevin Durant to Lebron James. My point, there is no comparison. Soulja boi sucks just like durant is leading OKC to a 7 win season.

why are people if talkin about Soulja “BOY” in this topic, first of all u cant even compare any one to Dre especially not that boy, i mean damn Dre was one of the reasons that rap is still bein made today, hes got original beats that are uncomparable and prolly makes 100 times the cash flow that boy ever gonna get

Doggbone | 9/7/2008, 9:32 am EST

Hey, this could set Snoop Dogg straight, this is an album i would be waiting for. Hey, he might not be as gangsta but Dre will be able to sort that out if he wants to make a classic.

jamall | 9/4/2008, 11:28 pm EST

Dr. Dre is adequate but all yall got to admit soulja boy is a better rapper and has better beats especially Soulja Girl

jamall | 9/4/2008, 11:26 pm EST

Soulja boy is soooooo much better

Anonymous | 8/30/2008, 12:51 am EST

guns and roses shouldnt be compared to dre the doc is the best man forget guns and roses

Dead C | 8/17/2008, 2:42 pm EST

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.

Wilsonian Fan | 7/29/2008, 2:46 pm EST

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.

dave | 6/27/2008, 8:13 am EST

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

Do you know something we don’t ??
:)

johnmartin | 6/26/2008, 5:41 pm EST

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

TankCat | 6/26/2008, 4:55 pm EST

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Los | 6/26/2008, 1:52 pm EST

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.

paul | 6/26/2008, 1:07 pm EST

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.
