By now we've all heard that Dr. Dre's 'Detox' album is "almost done" enough times we're not quite sure what to believe. The disc will be Dre's last as an artist and is one of the most highly anticipated albums ever. The producer has a reputation for being a perfectionist, so maybe it shouldn't be surprising it's taken so long. The wait however, might finally be over.
In a new interview with NME Magazine, Snoop Dogg says the album is near completion.
"I ain't never said it was almost finished. He might, but that's my first time I ever said it. I was always saying it was taking too long to get done. It feels good now," Snoop told the publication via Contact Music. "We've been working on it. It's almost finished. So that's coming out soon. We got Slim [Eminem] on it."
Before you say 'here we go again,' remember it was Snoop who criticized Dre back in May on the Tim Westwood Show for not having the right people around him to finish the project.
“I’mma say this and I don’t know if it’s gonna ruffle any feathers. I just think the wrong people is in the environment. When he made records that were hit records in the past: D.O.C., Snoop Dogg, RBX, Kurupt,” Snoop said at the time. “It’s like it’s pieces that’s not there that need to be there. And I’ll say D.O.C. and Snoop Dogg is the backbone. When you take those two equations and you take them out of the equation it’s not gonna work. You need to put them two back into the situation and let us mastermind and head the project like we did The Chronic in 2001. That’s what’s missing.”
Now that The Doggfather is back on the same page with his mentor, 'Detox' looks like it's finally on the way.
