    Who else remembers this supposedly being the precursor or first single to Detox

      I do. Loved the beat, but knew after hearing it it wasn't a worthy "comeback" single for Dre. Akon was cool, but I think Nate Dogg, if he was still alive around that time, could've took that track to another level. Once I heard that bubblegum poppy "I Need A Doctor" song with Eminem, I kinda knew we may not get Detox 😂😂😂. These singles just weren't it. I'm not surprised Dre just scrapped the whole project. All the leaks through the years were decent, but Detox would've flopped if they put it out at the time.

    Most people don’t understand that Dre can actually make instrumentals.
    But he chooses to work with others.
    Most of us think of beat making as in Europe…
    We don’t really get Dre’s concept.
    In Europe… Where a guy actually makes some beats out of some samples and add some synths or samples on top.
    In the U.S., they actually use live drummers and musicians to re-create samples - i mean, Dre does that…
    It’s one thing to work in a bedroom.
    And another, to be open to working with other people.
    If i had money, I’d also hire a team of professionals, to inspire me, to jam together.

      ​@@sampleloungethe hook was cool, but not 1st single level. Remember, back then, artists first singles would basically make or break an album. Sounds like Jimmy Iovine was rushing the process, and didn't let Dre figure it out organically. Although searching for a just a'ight hook for 6 months is wild 😂😂😂😂

      The worst part, Dre has been too picky over the years that he cannot really see when a track is a banger anymore.

      Puff and Dre can’t be mentioned in the same sentence. Puff slapped his name on shit while Dre actually PRODUCES records. There’s an inherent difference between beatmaking and producing.
      You think Quincy Jones played every instruments on Thriller? Lol

    Song was forgetable. Khalil's beat was the highlight, however. I think The Game ended up doing a freestyle over that instrumental that I played alot. Alotta those Aftermath piano-based beats that Dre was either doing, or out-sourcing to the likes of Dj Khalil, didn't age well. That Drake "Taylor Made Freesttle" sounded like a Temu version of one of those wooden soul-less beats 😂😂😂

      Who tf cares if it aged well or not if most of those Beats are still hard asf
      Its not like most producers or superproducers (aka just like metro boomin and thats it) of nowadays are even trying to make hard hitting iconic groundbreaking and timeless works for everyone to enjoy
