    ppl checking for a rihana album? lol

    Yeah announced in 02 with a tentative 04 release date. Both beats and his son happened in 2008. So 6 years after announcement and already 4 years late on release.

    But yeah like I’m not saying he wasn’t busy but having prime 50, prime em and prime game in your corner would have been the absolute best time to drop detox lol. 50 and Em alone were writing hit after hit that they would have gave to him

    Detox's 2nd and 3rd major releases were suppose to happen when his son and then Nate died which both derailed both major iterations of it after the initial

    He wasn't just an artist he was producing all over the place and engineering all over the place even outside of Rap, and he was very hands on with his label until the late 2000s (game experience is kinda what killed his passion until Jon Connor and especially Kendrick

    But yeah he did have them do a lot, a lot of Detox 1.0 songs ended up others albums cuz what initally halted Detox 1.0 was all the leaking and the unfinished collab with a real Jay Z feat that got leaked before Dres verse was fully done and the mixing that got backlash on forums back then that made Dre pull back

    And Nate Dogg dying basically right after Kush releases killed the basically 3rd final major interaction of Dre that was gonna be a mix of old West Coast electro dance and gangsta club music

    But yeah, sucks

    I think she’d go the Tems/Burna Boy route

    She would cash in on her Caribbean routes with some Bad Bunny

    Yep the 04-07 detox would've been great but I still think it had potential for a long time after

    That just would've been the best version
