Look Out for Detox

Friday September 21, 2007
First he pops up at this year's Video Music Awards, now he's spilling his guts to hometown paper the LA Times. Maybe...just maybe...Dr. Dre's Detox is really on its way this time. Word on the street is that the album is now scheduled for an early 2008 release.
"I was really hoping to have it out this year, but it's going to have to be pushed back a while because of some other things I've got to work on," Dre told the LA Times.
The Aftermath boss also broke his silence on the Game vs. 50 Cent feud, and debunked rumors that he took sides with 50 on the beef.
"I told them, 'I love working with both you guys. I don't have a problem with either of you,' " he says. "It was more like what is going to be the best move under the circumstances. I don't even remember who came up with the idea of putting Game on Geffen, but it was absolutely not me picking 50 over him."

Dre's been telling us to look out for Detox for 200 years. Why should we believe him this time?

i cant see it coming out early 2008 or even next summer and if it does it will be nothing in comparison to the chronic or prob not even as good as 2001!!!!

Cathal, how can you give a review for an album that hasn’t even been heard yet?

As for detox, i’ll be glad when it finally does come out, but until then i won’t be holding my breath. We should all just chill out and live our lives and let it come when it comes.
