Dre realized his predicament and cut his losses. Even if Dre did manage to do Detox justice, we - fans, hip-hop, planet Earth - no longer had any sense of perspective about it. 'It wasnвЂ™t goodвЂ¦ I worked my ass off on it, and I donвЂ™t think I did a good enough job,' Dre said on his Beats 1 show The Pharmacy. The challenge to deliver an album that could match the hype grew on a daily basis. Blige, The Game, Nas, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Marsha Ambrosius, Swizz Beatz, T.I., Drake, and Kendrick Lamar are just a few of the people who worked on Detox. During this time, the list of collaborators continued to grow the mythos of Detox Rakim, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Pepper commercial in 2009, which never manifested into a release the same thing happened in 20. Dre released a snippet of a song off Detox in a Dr. Then came the false starts a 2005 release was planned then scrapped Snoop Dogg said the album was finished in 2008, but nothing emerged Dr. The hype reached astronomical levels multiple times over the decade it was in production, with Dre calling it a вЂњ hip-hop musical,вЂќ and one-time co-producer Scott Storch famously calling the album вЂњ the most advanced rap album in history,вЂќ in 2004. Now make that artist one of the most seminal figures in hip-hopвЂ™s history, and that album a near-mythical body of work with astronomical expectations, and you have a recipe for disappointment.ДЄnnounced in 2002, Detox was supposed to be Dr.

When youвЂ™ve waited 16 years for an album from an artist you like, the chances that it will meet your ever-growing expectations are scant at best.
