Snoop Dogg leaks what appears to be a tracklist of Dr. Dre’s DETOX album

A third solo record (not counting Compton) from Dr. Dre would have been just another laurel in his heavily feathered cap. Instead, the legendary producer embarked on creating a mythical Detox album, which he often called his “final project.”

During the last decade, Dre has worked on tracks with more than two dozen rappers, producers and vocalists, from Aftermath heavyweights like Eminem, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar, to Snoop Dogg, T.I., Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and Kanye West – to name a few.

Most recently, Aftermath and Interscope Records have released a six song EP from Dr. Dre, all featured in the latest update of Grand Theft Auto: The Contract video game. The project features “Falling Up” with Thurz and Cocoa Sarai,” a solo track “Black Privilege,” “Gospel,” featuring Eminem. “Diamond Mind” with Nipsey Hussle and Ty Dolla $ign,” “ETA” with Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, and Anderson .Paak,” and “The Scenic Route,” featuring Rick Ross and Anderson .Paak.

It appears those GTA tracks were intended to be on DETOX album as Snoop Dogg has leaked a picture of the original tracklist of the album which are hard to decrypt but some of them are visible.

A reddit named decclz was able to read some of the titles of the songs. Check them out below:

2 Chainz reveals he once angrily told Dr. Dre “I’M NOT EMINEM” during studio session

2 Chainz has recently set down with NORE and DJ EFN for 3 hours long interview on the Drink Champs.

During the conversation, the Atlanta rapper recalled the studio session with legendary producer, Dr. Dre :

“I went to Dre’s crib. I was rapping and it was little funny cause I was getting little frustrated because, I don’t know, I’m country, I’m from Atlanta. At this time I told him, ‘Look, I’m not a white boy from Detroit. I ain’t f**king have like…Because he was stopping me like ‘Nah, change it.’ I’m trying to rap but he is so perfectionist. It’s the reason he is who f**king he is so I got that.” – said 2 Chainz.

“I’m somebody that can probably do two or three songs in one night. But with Dre it would probably take months because of the process and work ethic he has. He is so perfectionist on how he does things. I think my accent and my annunciation was a problem. He was trying to tell me how to do it. And I told him ‘You know I’m from Atlanta right? I’m not gonna sound like the bro you have been working with.”

“Eminem is Eminem. I like Eminem. He’s one of the f**king good emcees. He raps hella. I used to think Eminem was better than me. He’s not. He not. HE IS NOT. Challenge it! It’s not drama. I’m not saying I want smoke with Eminem. I want smoke with Eminem, him and him.”

And that’s when he jumped on “BANG” track and 50 Cent got on “City On The Map” joint. I played them and that was critique like ‘that s**t is amazing.'”

Eminem wishes Dr. Dre a Happy Birthday

Today we celebrate the birth of probably the most influential figures in the history of hip-hop: Dr. Dre, the living legend who turns 57.

Not only was he the first rap billionaire, but he also had a key role (literally and figuratively) in the birth of G-Funk, a new sub-genre of rap.

Dr. Dre’s life and work have shaped Rap and Hip Hop into what they are now. Who knows where rap music would be today if not for his impact. Because of Dre, we have Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak to name a few.

Following the Super Bowl performance, model, actress, and singer Cara Delevingne shared a viral picture on her Instagram story that says:

“Dear Mr. Dre, Mrs. Blige, Mr. Dogg, Mr. Shady, and Mr. 50 Cent, go on tour, seriously, we have never felt so alive. Signed by a bunch of moms icing their backs.”

Last year, Snoop Dogg revealed the plans for a legendary world tour: “I think that makes sense more than anything. A Snoop-Dre album would be amazing, but a tour even more, because we have legendary music the world has yet to see us perform globally. I’m pretty sure he wants to do it. He just wants the team in place. Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre – that’s the dream team for him.” said Snoop.

The Game reportedly upset for not being part of Super Bowl Halftime show

Since its premiere, The Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show has been the main topic in social media with a great majority of people claiming a victory for Hip Hop culture and a major win for the west coast hip-hop scene.

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent hit the stage on Sunday night with a groundbreaking, history-making performance that has been more celebrated than the Super Bowl game itself.

But it seems there is someone who felt betrayed for not being the part of the show and it’s THE GAME.

The legendary West Coast rapper shared a few reposts to his Instagram story that suggest that he should have been part of the legendary halftime lineup.

“FYI, The Game should have been on stage at the Super Bowl” said one message. “Sh**t brazy fr.” said another message.  “THE GAME SHOULD HAVE PERFORMED AT THE SUPER BOWL WITH DRDRE I MEAN TIS IS LA.” was the third message.

The Game also had a party the same time as Super Bowl where he addressed the audience: “If I was there, I could not be here and I swear this is a vibe!”

Dr. Dre says kneeling was Eminem’s own decision, talks minor changes NFL made to their Super Bowl show

Dr. Dre has recently joined TMZ journalists “TMZ Live” and, in his own words, he was still “buzzing” about what he, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar pulled off at the SoFi Stadium during Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime show.

The legendary producer says he went into rehearsals expecting the NFL to heavily censor almost all of the song, but was pleasantly surprised that they only made “minor changes,” among them, Kendrick’s reference to specific L.A. gangs on a song “M.A.A.D. City” where he kicks his verse with: “If Pirus and Crips all got along, they’d probably gun me down by the end of this song.”

“There were few things that we have to change but they were really minor things. Em taking a knee that was Em doing that on his own, there was no problem with that. The beginning of Kendrick’s set, they had a problem with that, so we had to take that out. No big deal.” said Dre.
