Snoop Dogg rolled through Big Boy’s morning show “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” on Los Angeles’ Power 106 this week to talk about the picture of himself, The Game, and Dr. Dre that surfaced on Twitter late last week.
“We actually working on Detox right now,” said Snoop. “Me and Dr. Dre and D.O.C. and Stat Quo we in there doing it everyday trying to go hard in the yard. I called Game up so he could come be a part of this one particular record Dre had that was needing his vocals and his assistance on.”
The Game, who posted the picture to his Twitter account along with the message: “CAN U SAY “DETOX” ??? IN THE STUDIO WIT DRE & SNOOP. WE BOUT 2 MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAD. RIDE WIT US OR GET RAN OVER! AFTERMATH OR DIE!”, had the internet buzzing not only because people were excited to see that this album might actually still be happening, but because it was the first time Dre (who’s usually pretty camera shy) was pictured with Game in a long while. The two previously had some beef and weren’t speaking with one another for a while.
Snoop admits that he’s responsible for reuniting the pair not only in the flesh but also on a new track slated for Detox. “They needed me to get in contact with Game,” said Snoop, “I had the number in my phone and I shot that that way and they called him and once he got there him and Dre hollered and they got a great relationship.”
According to Snoop, he’s been in the studio with Dre for the last two weeks working on Detox and hinted at the importance of what many believe this album will mean for West Coast music. “It’s always about what we can do, not what we did,” he said. “We trying to do some things to bring this whole movement back. So that’s what that picture was about. It was about symbolizing the West Coast movement… Dre don’t even let people take pictures of him. Guess who wanted to take the picture? I was upstairs. [Dre] was like man come down here let’s take a picture.”
Detox has been in the making for close to 10 years and there has yet to be an official release date for it, but this reunion appears to be a good sign for progress on the album. -Brooklyne Gipson

Having unity from some of Cali’s biggest artists is definitely a good look for the left Coast. This could be the beginning of a resurgence that the game needs, right now. I happy to witness it & I’m excited, again, to hear that the Detox might still come to fruition. Now, Dre just needs to get Rakim, Busta & Joell (& Crooked I for good measure) back in the studio with him. It would be nothing short of a classic.

Alright. it took snoop to get these niggas together ? fine with me. The westcoast can really help hip hop in general get better as long as were all on the saame team and gettin money like we should. That’s what’s up youngin’s being smart and fuckin the petty bullshit beef to the side

shit, dre better be working on that album! i think that’s why he trimmed his label down so much. game,busta,eve,rae,joell ortiz,bishop lamont all gone. i thought he was nuts for dropping bishop lamont, it would be cool to hear him on detox.

Dre better watch out that he don’t have too many features on this album and too many writing styles on it. I hate when an album sounds like it could be a classic but when you get to the end, it feels like the album had no direction.

Next year comes “It’s droppin next summer”
Next year comes “It’s droppin next summer”
Next year comes “It’s droppin next summer”
Next year comes “It’s droppin next summer”
Next year comes “It’s droppin next month”
We haven’t even had a leak and we know how leaky these days are.
