A glimmer of hope is on the horizon for fans still waiting for Dr. Dre’s mythical Detox album to drop. Game recently told XXLMag.com that he and Dre are hard at work on both Detox and his own album, The R.E.D.
Giving insight into the production legend’s work ethic, Chuck Taylor said composing with Dre is a slow process. “If you get in the studio with Dre you best be prepared to be there for a long time ’cause he gonna coach you word for word until he gets you to 100 percent where he wants it to be,” he said. “You gonna be in there all night working on one verse. “
The R.E.D., which was originally scheduled for release on December 8, was pushed back to February 16. Although there is still no official release date for Detox, Game hints at an intense recording schedule to complete it.
“We recording every single day working on Detox and working on The R.E.D. album,” he revealed. “It just feels good for me to be back in the studio with the big homie and working on my project.”
Game also shared that Dre will make the ultimate decision on which songs that come out of the simultaneous Detox/R.E.D. recording sessions will go on which project.
In related news today (November 16) marks the 10-year anniversary of Dre’s 2001 LP and XXL is paying homage to the good doc and his decade-old classic with a week of recognition. We caught up with some of the West Coast’s brightest stars to share their thoughts and fond memories of 2001. Read up here to find out Game’s thoughts on Dre’s dominance and check back all week for more tribute interviews. —Brooklyne Gipson with reporting by Anslem Samuel

I remember I was listenin to one of those all Snoop/Dre dis albums that Suge dropped on Death Row and on one of the dis songs, one of the no-name niggas he had rappin’ on there said “Hitman, how do you eye feel?”
Being that we hadn’t seen him again, I was wonderin’ if Suge ‘nem stomped him out so bad that he wanted to get away from music period.
I did see an interview with him finally probably 2-3 years ago, on dubcnn site I think, and he was talkin all that stuff about he still cool with them but he gon’ stand on his own and all that.
Something definitely happened.

Glimmer of hope my black ass. These niggas say they gone do somethin’ but they do whatever they want whenever. Aftermath is the Label That Cried Wolf. Nothing comes out when they say it do. Relapse 2 was sposed to be dropping but instead Before I Explode came out. Who really cares about all the extra controversy and anticipation anymore it’s 2010 that shit is old. Either you rappin or you not. As you see, the artist that are relevent are making music. The irrelevant one stuck in the past, still try to build controversy or anticipation around a release. Niggas knock Gucci, Wayne, and other niggas but they aint playin they fans like hoes. Just RAP!!!!!

I 2nd macdatruest. Lame ass cake niggaz keep runnin at the trap about WHAT they GON do. Real cats walk wit no talk. If you gon do it do it. Don’t talk bout what you gon do. So, not to say nobody cares, but hell I don’t!!! Make the music and let fans make you what you are. Don’t ride on the past DRE. That was over like 10 years since I last heard a record. I don’t hear anybody talking about when Aftermath Presents came out? Why, cuz that shit SUCKED BALLS. No homo. Give Dre the rep for Aftermath Presents cuz that’s the type of music HE makes.

Hold up, I live in the south, and I’m tired of this week bullshit we put out. Do you think anybody will give a fuck about Gucci in ten years… Fucc naw. Dre set the backdrop for the west coast. He’s in my opinion the best producer ever. So what he had one shitty album. Dre’s a fuccin Legend. OutKast & Goodie Mob are the only southern albums you can listen to ten year later. They had an effect on the south. You got all these bullshit candy ass rapper’s like Gucci, Shawty Lo, and O.J. the “I don’t know how to make a full sentence so I just sound like a fuccin retard when I talk” Mane. The south’s got so many talented artist that either get slept on(Killa Mike), Don’t know how to move forward(OutKast), or are in jail(T.I. and soon Wanye). What happened to the “New South” movement. We need to get the greats to come together instead of havin all this week ass (instead of Jeezy) I’m in the Trap bullshit.

I don’t wish death upon nobody so I don’t even like mentionin it but…
man, if Dre fucked around and died for some reason and they raided his archives, we might have some of the hardest hip-hop shit ever - enough to last for a few years.
When Stat Quo left, he said some shit like he had over a hundred something songs of HIS OWN with Dre.

You might be right about Dre. He might have some of the best body of work in hip hop stock away. But my thing is HE DOESN”T RELEASE IT. I’ve stop believing the idea of him being a professionalist because if that’s the case them the beats on Relapse would have been at least up to par with some of the top beats out today. “Empire State of Mind” was made by a nobody but its much better than “Crack a Bottle”. My point is that I’m tired of people putting out the same excuses like “he made classics from Chronic and 2001″. Either Dre releases the music so he can keep the title of Best Rap Producer or cut this anticipation bullshit. It’s like he’s waiting on a year when rap is going to get shitty so that his album can blow people away. But it won’t. TI will be out next year and might release an album, Drake might make noise as well as Jay, Common, Nas, and possible Wayne. The more dude holds of the album, the more people are going to anticipate an album that might sound past dated.

The game is funny. One minute he’s like I don’t need Dre,I’ll never work with him again stop asking me about Dre. The next I love Dre now my album is gonna be fire. Niggas don’t want it with me Blah Blah Blah. He reminds you of a bitch who breaks up with there man and says fuck that nigga he ain’t shit I ain’t thinkin about him But mentions him everyday then one day he decides to take her back then she’s telling everybody how much she loves him and there gonna be together forever. LOL just give us a dope album Game. No beef and bullshit needed just dope lyrics and beats.
