Detox is Dr. Dre's long overdue third solo album. While it may come by the end of the year, as Dre said recently, who will be the featured guests?

The good doctor has mentioned possible collaborations with Jay-Z, Nas and Lil Wayne, but what about his protege The Game? According to the Compton rapper, via an interview with Complex, he hasn't spoken to his mentor in months, so the possibility of him being featured on the highly anticipated project is minimal at the present time.

"I spoke to Dre a few months ago, and he was just calling to check in," Game said. "It wasn't really about nothing. Nothing worth talking about. I wish him well with Detox, but I don't need Dre or anybody to make my sh** come to life."

Although Game isn't worried about making the project, he does say that without him, he doesn't think Dre can even finish the project.

In fact, the rapper's lack of involvement would be an injustice to the album, in Game's eyes.

"I don't really care about being on Detox. I don't think Dre can finish Detox without having me on it, man," he said. "I'm the West Coast -- I am the West Coast. You can't do anything on the West Coast without involving myself, my name, or my brand. For me not to be a part of Detox, Dre would be doing himself an injustice, not me."

Who ends up making the final tracklist is yet to be seen, and at press time, there was still no confirmed release date for the project, despite Dr. Dre revealed, back in July, that he was "shooting for a November or December release for Detox.

The only reason game is saying that shit is cause he wants the attention. He's like a little kid starving for attention. Like Yukmouth & C-BO said "somebody needs to give that dumb Nigga a hug"....LMAO

Game is a little pimple on the ass of hip-hop. Hopefully he gets shot and killed someday soon so you can all start crying about what a great guy he was when in reality, he was just a run of the mill thug who deserved to die.

As for the game thinking that he needs to be in the album, please. The only thing dre needs is for the game's dumb ignorant ass to shut the fuck up count the money that dre made him and realize that his name says it all, dre played with the game and when it broke he got rid of it. That's what you do fuckn toys that rnt worth a shit. That or give them up to the second hand store, so some second rate producer can keep your shit on the air

some of you fuckn dumbasses need to go back and check the archives. Everything dre has put a great amount of effort into has turned platinum. What makes me laugh is that the same bitches that are talking shit now about how long dre has put detox off, are gonna be the first ones sucking his dick when detox comes out. Check his last two albums, lets be real dre's albums are the only reason I'd still buy a compact disc and not get them limewire because every single one of them has a sick ass beat and is gonna be garaunteed to still be around when some of u young little bitches who dont know what your talking about are old. Still' Dre Day

he also never disrespected jay z he is on his new album he straight up said that he was dissin ja not jay....people need to listen to the game more before you go running your mouth about his music. dr dre is a producer now nothing more get used to it.

Gib Says:
Monday - September 1, 2008 at 10:28am

and also go coj comment about naming the album detox to flush out rappers like the game and 50 is complete bullshit. if you actually listen to rap you would know that dr dre made his album detox known on one of the games songs saying "watch out for detox" so why would he do that if he was using it to get rid of the game???

Gib Says:
Monday - September 1, 2008 at 10:25am

Fuck who started this shit.... he sure the fuck aint finishing shit.... Detox was supposed to come out so many times it aint even funny. By the time the shit come sout the fuckin lyrics wont even be relavent any more. Dre was the shit.. he did bring some good shit to us but what the fuck has he done for hop hop lately? He has his own fuckin label and does work for everyone else but his own artist... man fuck Dre, Dre is washed up

I think you are right game, but dre is really a lame. However, whenever he decide to come out with his new album. I'll get it but I am quite sure you'll be on a remix or something, keep doing you. peace.

coj Says:

haha what a joke! Detox is coming out to flush pieces of shit like The Game down the rap toilet, that's the whole point! Why the hell do you think it's called Detox? Why would Dre want The Game on a record that is fundamentally designed to get rid of him? ANSWER: He wouldn't!! This isn't the regular kinda shit that The Game puts out, this is a statement; one that The Game is too dumb to understand.

Liam Says:

I think its more like Dre would be doin an injustice to himself if he DID involve the game in Detox. Game is a fuckin disrespectful cock rider, he raps about shit and just resorts to givin endless shout outs to people on his shitty tracks. I think Game has forgotten exactly what Dre did for west-coast hip-hop. If it wasnt for Dre this little piece of shit probs wouldnt even be rappin himself right now. Fuck off and retire Game we've already forgotten about you. Fuckin bum.

I was soooo fuckin hungry for Detox but that shit has been pushed back like ass cheeks in prison. Dre is no longer relevant with his bullshitting. He signed a bunch of fuckin people just to let them sit on the shelf and defect. Dre has always been a fucked up producer to work with. He left NWA, DEATH ROW, SNOOP, EMINEM, GAME, XZIBIT, KNOCTURNAL, to go do nothing. He starts artist off and they all fuckin burn out. At least Game is trying to do shit without Dre. Dre is the reason the West Coast fell off. He fuckin takes you out to water and then pulls the life jacket off of you. If you cant see it fuck all of you. Game is a shit talker true.... but Dre is a fuckin procrastinator that has fucked us all out of bomb as music. FUck you for bullshitting us Dre.....

Da Doc dont need you on shit! Dr. Dre is the one who made this disrespectful dum fuck. Without Dre, Game would still be riding 50's dick. I donno whats up with The Game these days, He feels as tho he has to disrespect major iconic figures in the Rap community just to get noticed. First Jay-Z...Now Dr. Dre?? get real dude...

Reality Check Says:

Dre doesn't need you to make Detox. Dre made hit records, before The Game was a rapper and not just a childhood pass time. Stop being arrogant. Be humble and appreciate YOUR blessings.

Game is such a little dick rider. He Shouts out everybody on his albums and no one ever shouts out to him. what a pathetic twurp. His whole last album blew, crying to dr. dre on a track, everything he remixes sucks, and he raps about the stupidest shit. I cant wait till he retires, most desparate rapper alive.

LOL, Game aint shyt..Dudes ego needs to be checked...Dre certainly dont need no GAME to finish shyt..Plus, after Jay handles him the only collobos GAME will be doing is with Ja Rule.. I wonder, what exactly has game done to call himself the westcoast..Im not a Snoop fan, but when i think of westcoast, i think of Dre, Snoop, Cube, Game never even pops up...

J.Coop Says:
Wednesday - August 20, 2008 at 11:38am

Game is arrogant. As an artist he is iight. If he would had just played his part. He would have been a millionare to like 50's level. But just chill success is the best revenge.

jws Says:
Wednesday - August 20, 2008 at 11:16am

Dre should have rode with Game till the end. Business is Business but Dre probably feels real stupid for siding with 50. Game is west coast.....i dont know about gay ass dre.
