Hip Hop fans are like kids at Chuck-E-Cheese. Damn the line, they want their music right now or else.
Fortunately though, for fans who have the patience Dr Dre drops off and album about once every decade that is the blueprint for the rest of the recording industry for ten strong years.
We waited seven years from 'The Chronic' to 'The Chronic 2001'. So here we are almost eleven years later still banging "F*ck You" and "Forgot About Dre", but ready for the new album, like yesterday.
Dre was interviewed at th 23rd Annual Ascap Awards and after introducing his wife Nicole got right down to business on just where the hell is the new album?
"Well you know what, it hasn't been a consistent thing for me. I've been working on it, I'll stop, do a couple of other albums," he explains. "For example, I was working on the record and I had to stop and work with Eminem for five or six months. And in between there's been Game and 50 and some of the artlist like that I had to sop and work on. So it's been taking a long time, but it hasn't been continuous work on that project."
The schedules been clear, the stars appear to be aligned right so the question is Dre how soon is 'Detox' dropping?
"I'm in it right now, I feel it right now you know what I'm sayin? Before this year I felt like I was doing it more out of obligation," he says honestly. "But right now, as of the end of last year, I really feel it. It's coming out of me, it's coming out of my heart. And it will definately be out this year."
That's the official word from the man himself, 'Detox' this year. And if that isn't enough, Dre says you better be out on the look for the latest artist under the G-Unit/Shady/Aftermath branch, Slim Da Mobster.
:"Slim Da Mobster is seriously hot, he's the new guy that's coming. South Central L.A., that's what it is."
