You don't ever really wanna hear Detox. The single random songs Dre has put out in the past few years have been absolute garbage. Not even good beats. The only thing Dre has been involved with recently that wasnt pure trash was GKMC. Thats it. Beats are mediocre as fuck too.
I agree. My
theory on Kush and I Need a Doctor was that Dre was trying to see if people were going to accept a lower quality Detox album. In other words, were people so thirsty for a new Dre album that B tier efforts would be good enough? Since neither single took off in any meaningful way, the answer was no. 2001 was huge and Still DRE was fucking massive but both Detox singles fell flat. If that was the best Dre could come up with in 10-12 years since 2001, then he was better off not putting out Detox.
I was joking about Detox since we know it isn't coming out. Dr. Dre seems more interested in Beats and now with this streaming service, he might just quit producing as well. As you said, no big loss even though I really liked his stuff a long time ago.
