Dr. Dre abandons new album...

Dre didn't produce that Wayne beat, Cipha Sounds did.

the fader said dre produced it?

i thought it sounded like generic underground east coast beat+dre chords.

Welcome to the Compton
We got blunts & games...

Rapper Dr. Dre's son found dead

The son of hip-hop star Dr. Dre has been found dead at his home in Woodland Hills, California, reports Reuters.

Andre Young Jr. was discovered "unresponsive in bed" by his mother on Saturday morning following a night out with friends. Paramedics pronounced the 20-year-old dead at the scene.

A statement from Dr. Dre's spokesman said: "Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son Andre Young Jr. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time."

The cause of death cannot be determined until results from toxicology tests are returned, which could take more than six weeks.

A Grammy-winning producer and artist, Dr. Dre will release his third album Detox this year. He has also produced records for Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Jay-Z.

:(

After all the Suge Knight business, that kid must've grown up looking over his shoulder. Damn.

Dr Dre: Classic or Dud ?

I'll never understand the "start/revive threads about an artist for unfortunate personal non-music-related news about which nothing can really be said" philosophy.

yeah i wasn't gonna do it as i hate the whole RIP thing generally, and i didn't see the other thread so my bad

YEAH YOU SUCK

:D

You guys put the smiley right back into Surmounter's emoticon.

Simon Reynolds, Entertainment Reporter ... ?????

Was he the son who did the Hood Surgeon thing?

no, different kid

this might be coming now. various reference tracks have been leaked.

So, now we have Chinese Democracy, and the Loveless remaster is imminent...

i just want him to get Detox out of the way so he can make that instrumental solar system album

He probably sold off all the beats he was making for this supposed album.

and the ones he did sell have been kinda shitty. remember Kingdom Come?

remember cuban linx 2?

that went from being on the Aftermath release schedule to ending with like two Dre co-productions, didn't it?

iirc dre had the worst beats on the album?

except for "kush", which is a jam, dre hasn't really done shit since the first game album imo

he made u all those headphones

eww "kush" was not a jam

i mean...fake nate dogg, jesus

it's kinda been one of the biggest rap radio hits here in the past couple years and sounds really damn good on the radio so

i hope you realize that's the west coast version of "this new cam'ron joint is the biggest song on hot 97!"

ha, probably

but it's had remarkable staying power regardless

am i missing something here? did dr dre have some involvement with the loveless remaster?

u r both correct!

wat

think we were equating this never-to-be album with other long awaited legendary albums. Though a new MBV record would be more appropriate here than a remaster.

is Detox ever coming out

I wouldn’t hold your breath

Physician, heal thyself.

Always been curious about a feature film he was slated to direct circa 2002 called REVOLVER (no relationship with the Guy Ritchie nonsense)

Compton was all we're getting

barely made a cultural dent but it has most of the cast from 2001, a couple new acolytes, and multiple Kendrick appearances

and I have no idea how it came out nearly eight years ago. time flies when no one's releasing Detox

he fucked it with the apple music exclusive. similar thing happened with the jay-z/beyonce collab album (but with tidal)

or maybe both were just subpar late career efforts that recycled older ideas without the spark that made them special in the first place

hah, I completely forgot that part

there are some moments, but it's 100% a retread

didn't even get a partial song interpolated into the super bowl half time show

the spotify numbers for compton are truly abysmal. the biggest song is sitting at 10.5 mil, and it's not "talking to my diary," which played over the credits of the straight outta compton movie

outside of ILX, which is how I knew it even existed, I don't remember ANYBODY talking about it at the time
