Dr. Dre's Detox Delayed Until 2011?
By Ronnie Gamble ♦ Published 01/13/2010

This is not surprising, but we thought we'd let you know anyway: Dr. Dre's long-delayed Detox album isn't dropping this year.

The good doctor has been teasing fans nearly every year by saying the mythical album was close to being finished, only to let them down. With nearly 10 years in the can for the project, it still has no release date in sight.

During recent interview for SLAM magazine, Dre was asked about Detox, to which he replied: "Well, I'm working on it, but also I've been working on other people's projects; you'll probably hear something in a year or so."

So, does this mean 2011 now? Damn!! We won't hold our breath.

Dre is always asked what the status of Detox is. Back in November, while appearing for an in-store media conference in support of his Beats By Dre headphones, he explains why all the delays saying he has to feel "right" about it before he'll let the public hear it.

"You know what, I'm working hard on it man," he promised during the in-store. "I'm going and I'm stopping, I'm working with other artists in-between and what have you, but I'm working hard on it and the minute it's done and I feel it right here [in my chest] and it feels right to me, that's when it'll come out. And you know, hopefully at the beginning of the year."

    What!!!! No Detox!!!! I've been camped out outside the Best Buy for a solid year for this masterpeice! Me and the white kids are sitting out here. I guess I'll buy Twilight and go home. Damn Dre.

  • GEORGE

    Really this guy is a joke. I'm not his biggest fan but some cats would fight if I say he not the greatest, those are the put he's disrespecting. If anyone's dumb enough to believe he's going to make a album is on the same crack that Keysha Cole's momma is smoking.

  • @SkullGizzy

    D*mn i hope "i Can't Feel MY Face" turns out to bee like dis shiitty asssss album ders no point in waitinq....

  • Deft1Bent1

    im gettin tired of waitin but he says it'll be worth it.. If it aint a bomb album i'll be HEAT!!!!!!

  • jo boy

    Never cared for dre's new (rap) album. I don't really see y people talk about it more than him. Not into rappers with ghost writers, but I do like his production (even tho he has a committee of producers) I think notts is the underated truth when it comes to production over there

  • dretruth

    Dude looks like incredible hulk in that picture. I guess he said the next one that trys to run up on him will pay - i don't blame him. Anyways only the foolish will believe that this album will ever drop - it's not going to happen I don't thinks he's feeling hip hop anymore.
    dre is quickly becoming a living memory.

  • dretruth

    I agree with you boss.

  • mike

    all this wait better be worth it....

  • D-NICE 2010

    Well for one not I ain't holding my breath on this. By the time Dre drops this album we'll prolly notice him aging further and renaming his album to "BOTOX"...on to the next one!

  • Guest

    He's looking old now

  • WESTCOAST is DEAD

    The West Coast is DEAD! Game is fuckin with Pherrell's gay ass, Snoop is softer than fat girl tits and all the underground cat's are burried under wack ass production. Dre's old ass will release something when he's 79 years old... All the people that wanted Detox will already be DEAD by that time! FUCK DRE

  • terrence

    we need to all stop thinkn about it and then he will drop it!

  • hiphop’smostwanted

    The detox aint never coming outta aftermaths doors and aint never dropping.andre young aka drdre says the same thing year after year about detox coming out.The detox album wont probably wont even see the day off light and stay in the vault until andre young passes away(no disrespect to drdre but he been saying and same shit year after year that its going drop)

    I have no more energy 2 waste on this subject........

  • http://www.reverbnation.com/blastmusicconcepts jimboslice

    Dre. you are playin! we need that detox. I fear that the standard is set so high that the product just doesn't meet "his" own expectations. After detox, all roads to victory lead through BMC

  • http://www.reverbnation.com/blastmusicconcepts jimboslice

    we need that detox.

  • Fred

    Dre buddy, you are losing it man. Fuck this stupid project and fuck you, you are just fucking your fans around, and thats why im not a fan anymore. This shit is just a joke. Oh and to the 2 people who still care about this bullshit... tell me if it comes out before you die. even when its out im probably not buying it, maybe if the singles and really really good. If not im just ignoring everything I hear about this faggot bullshit for the rest of my life.

  • http://www.google.com Samro

  • capton california

  • http://www.iwillfuckyouup.com JHA JHA 221

    dre looks like a gay pirate on zanax ans steroids.... hey dre , choke and spit fake ass crip wanna be suges boy toy.... you smell like dodo.....

  • joe

    I think dre just needs go back to his bread and butter: get scott storch on the piano, get mel-man back in the mix, and hook up with all the people that made 2001 a classic.

  • niggafrommemphis

    dre never been a real nigga. the only people he's ever whooped were women,how's that gangsta?for that and that alone,i never rode with dre after nwa.he look like he's on steroids,but his size won't stop him from getting punched again

  • dretruth

    I am glad to see him look old and breathing with all the shit dre has been through - he's blessed to be alive. Stop hating.

  • dretruth

    Thank GOD he ain't a real nigga cause em would of never exsisted. stop hating.

  • http://ballerstatus 2thPick

    dr dre wants his album to b the most anticipated ever. he has done a detox every year w/ diffrent rhmes an beats. all in his vault of diffrent hits & sdtrk songs he's done. he wants to b white. thats why he never puts out blacks. just em and whoever em likes. warren g, his half bro, had to beg him to sign snoop. diffrent rappers write new detox songs every year. b Lamont was smart enough to take his with him.

  • Southernbreed

    I'm Done! I Give The Fuck Up on Dre!
    Nigga close to being 50 and u still won't put the shit out!
    Ain't nobody gonna want to hear a 50 year old talking about smoking weed, dipping in my 6-4, banging on the left coast or anything else.
    I'll be a granddad when this shit comes out, I'll be retired when this shit comes out, I'll buy the album with my Social Security check when it comes out.
    God Dammitt!!!!!!!!

  • http://ballerstatus 2thPick

    he taught scott storch everything. but scott was a coke head who wanted to b black. not what dre wanted so good bye. then he only appears on em or ppl em likes albums(50). stat quo bshop & game never had a chance. game has to beg 4 tracks.

  • Southernbreed

    And everybody wondered why Pac went off on Dre.
    He said Dre took forever to do one song and tried to take the credit for Daz, Rick Rock, DJ Quik and Johnny "J"'s production.
    Even Snoop said Dre take too long to do one song.
    Most of the songs that was suppose to be on The first four version's of Detox, is out on a mixtape called Detoxification.

  • http://dvsinc.blogspot.com/ VENGEANCE IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!

    FnCK "DETOX".....

    I RATHER STICK TO MY KUSH, CHRONIC, ETC...

  • Allan Makowa

    I the main problem was the 50 cent and game beef. its high time 50 cent gets dettached from dr dre and aftermath entertainment!

  • http://www.myspace.com/frozenstate Chris M.

    I'm pretty sure this has something to do with Bishop Lamont leaving Aftermath and Dre signing Hayes.

  • KornDogg420

    man dr dre what up man come drop that shit already that's some gay shit drop that shit.that better be good fool come big fan i don't give give fuck

  • Life after Death85

    I understand the fact that Dr. Dre is such a perfectionist without a doubt. But teasing us with Detox. I doubt this album will ever come out, and I also highly doubt that it will be any better than Dr Dre's Chronic 2001. I'm just getting tired of waiting for Detox to come out. Man 10 long crappy years of waiting for this album. for those of you waiting for Detox it's not going to come out until 2012 if anything because he's going to keep pushing it back, I'm waiting for the R.E.D. album.

  • TRUTH

    JUST FOR MAKING US WAIT SO LONG...IM GONNA GET IT BOOTLEG

  • ayyodre

    I wanna see Dr. Dre and Russel Simmons fight to the death. I think that is more of a thought of reality than thinking that Detox will ever find a store shelf.

  • Silly Simp

    Someone above said he should call it BOTOX. Fo sho!!!

  • Jess

    Y'all are stupid, here we are in 2011, it's coming in February. You all gonna buy it.
