How long must we wait? Since the release of Dr Dre’s second solo album 2001, fans have been anxiously waiting for the highly anticipated Detox album, which was said to hit shelves back in 2009. In a recent Q & A with Slam Magazine, Dr Dre hints at the fact that us fans must wait yet another year for his third LP. As he helps his fellow artists get their albums out, Detox has evidently taken a back seat. Eminem just released Relapse which hit the stores last month, 50 Cent released Before I Self-Destruct and The Game is set to release his R.E.D. Album later this year – all of which Dr Dre has worked on. But as we go back and dig in our collection, and take out Dre’s 2001 and play tracks like “The Watcher,” “Forget about Dre,” featuring Eminem and “The Next Episode,” featuring Snoop, we are reminded of those crafty-engineered beats and punch-line lyrics. We can only expect the same, if not more from Detox. Dre would clearly have had enough time!
