Dr. Dre Heads Back To The Studio ... Finally
By J.P. Gorman: 2007-02-26 19:56:13
It’s been a while since Dr. Dre stamped his name on a new album. Sure, he’s produced tracks on albums by some of today’s biggest hip-hop acts, but he hasn’t, to quote N.W.A.-era Ice Cube, shown us what time it is in his own, inimitable way. Well, we won’t have to wait much longer.According to NME, Dre has an album in the works. Detox will be the good doctor’s first album of solo original material since 1999’s 2001. Dre’s got a lot of friends (and, one presumes, a lot of people who owe him a favor or two), so the new album is littered with hip-hop heavyweights making guest appearances. Among them: Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z. He told Los Angeles radio station Power 106, "I'm trying to get everybody that I've ever worked with over the years to appear on the record." Dre went on to say that he’s putting a lot of pressure on himself with this album, recognizing how long he’s made fans wait for it. But, of course, Dre remains confident. “Trust me, this will be worth the wait--I'm trying to make this the one they remember me for … It's a lot of pressure but I'm feeling good about it. I feel like I'm my worst critic and if I'm loving it, everyone else will.” No release date has been scheduled yet, but, according to the man himself, it will be out by the end of this year. And if you can’t trust Dr. Dre, really, who can you trust? He’s only done two solo albums for a reason. Quality control is what he’s after, and those couple albums wrote the playbook for rap in the 1990s (The Chronic) and the 2000s (2001). People take their cues from him, and he’s more than willing to give them. On his terms, of course, when the time is right. And, apparently, it finally is again. Check Out More CB Music Stories Here
