No "Detox" This Year...

We all have been waiting for Dr. Dre's Detox to come out for years, only to get disappointed. Earlier this year, it was finally confirmed that Detox would drop by the end of the year. Well, the end of the year is quickly approaching and there still is no word of Detox's release until now. Recently, the Chairman of Interscope Jimmy Iovine shed some light on why Detox has been pushed back. Basically, he states that Dre had to stop working on his album in order to work on Eminem's upcoming project. His exact words are as follows:

“We lost Dr. Dre to Eminem. Dre had to stop making his album to finish Eminem's album. Eminem hit a streak, and when a guy like Eminem gets on fire, you stop everything. Dre's going back in January. He'll be finished with Eminem by then, and he'll finish his album.”

Iovine stated that Eminem was supposed to drop at this end of this year as well to replace Dr. Dre's album. It looks like we will probably see Eminem's album before we see Dre's and we are talking next year folks. So for all of you who hoped to hear Detox this year, then get ready for some disappointment. I pretty much figured that all of these promises by Bishop Lamont and definite clarifications about the album dropping this year was just going to be a broken promise. We have been waiting for that album for what it seems to be "centuries." Iovine states that we will most likely hear both albums next year, however he did not make any promises. I am actually getting tired of buying into this Detox hype. When I hear a guaranteed single, then I will get excited....
