The six year wait for Detox may be coming to a close, as Dr. Dre has confirmed plans to release his highly anticipated third solo album by the end of the year. After years of fine-tuning and direction changes, the legendary producer finally feels the project is ready for mass consumption.

“I’m just now, over the last couple months, starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it,” Dr. Dre explained to USA Today. “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”

Recording for the project began in 2003, and tentative dates were announced every single year afterward, only to see the album constantly pushed back due to Dre’s perfectionist demeanor.

Like its predecessors The Chronic (1992) and The Chronic 2001, many expect Detox to raise the bar for producers in Hip-Hop. For Dre, it’s simply about making great music, and hopefully the accolades come.

“I’ve never set out to do that,” states Dre. “I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don’t put it out until I’m totally happy with it. Then it does what it does...I’m going to put this record out, promote it, and then become a hermit,” Dre explains. “I’m going to stay in the studio and produce. All I want to do is sit in the studio with that person (a new artist) for a year and try to create another masterpiece.”

For guests, Dre has confirmed collaborations with Nas, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z.

On the business end, Dre also disclosed a venture with Monster, a leader in audio/video accessories, called Beats by Dr. Dre. Dre, Interscope head Jimmy Iovine, and Monster have developed high definition powered isolation headphones available on Friday (July 25) exclusively at Best Buy and Apple stores for $349.95. Iovine and Dre’s goal was to create a product that duplicated the clarity of recording studios.

“Dre and I have been developing these headphones for awhile and in Monster we found a partner that could work with us to crystallize his vision and develop them to the quality he expects,” Iovine said. “Beats By Dr. Dre is yet another example of Interscope’s commitment with its artists in developing new avenues to experience music.”

Detox is tentatively scheduled for a November or December 2008 release.

[JohnnieUpahts]

Even tho I don't think it'll be out by tha end of tha year I'm hopin it is...altho I'm not happy bout Lil' Wayne bein on tha album sumwea...I wuz hopin more like Game, Cube, Snoop, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, maybe Rakim from his days on Aftermath, Em

[Day_Walker]

I'm worried that this album is not gonna live upto it's hype. I had full hope in this album up till recently when I thought about when was the last time he actually had a beat that was hot?
Some of the recent beats he's produced on aftermath albums are average at best but I'm just hoping he's saving the best for himself.

[ELEPHANT MAN]

if he has poor ghostwriters just a overrated album only rememberd for beats

good ghostwriters it could be a classic

[Day_Walker]

I have never been let down by Dre so Im hoping he comes out with some more California funk.

I have never been let down by Dre so Im hoping he comes out with some more California funk.

Basically that's the main reason I still have some hope left in this album.

[ThaGutter]

Man, fuck detox. yeah i said it, lol
I'm sick of all the hype and bullshit.

Detox is a myth............


All i know is dre better shut the fuck up, with all the detox is coming, detox ain't coming, detox is half done, i ain't even started yet,
i'm not making the detox album, it's gonna be released in 2009 or maybe 2014 if y'all lucky.

Either release it or don't.

[Lil Layzie]

^ yeah i couldnt give a fuck about this cd anymore, i used 2 be hyped

[L.G Da G-O-D]

Only reason im looking fowards to it these days is coz im hopin it'll switch up the direction of the rap game a little and let some some west coast artists shine but if that doesnt happen, i'd be happy if it just put Aftermath bacc on top. They need to just flood the market again, release Bishop Lamonts album, then Eminems, then Detox, then a new D12, then Stat Quo and Cashis and in the middle of all that, they need to fuccin sign Joe Buddens LOL.

But yeah, im not expectin this album any time soon, maybe mid 2009 yeah.

[K.I.N.G.]

too many promises...too many failures...dont believe it no more...until i see it in the shops...nope...stick the release date in ur ass Dre...

[poopstation]

i don't know if it can live up to expectations i mean everybody is doing different shit now that even if snoop kurupt and everybody is on it I don't think it will sound the same.
