While stopping by the Golden State Warriors practice facility on Tuesday, Dr. Dre spoke to ESPN’s Chris Haynes for a brief interview, where he disclosed some information regarding his long-awaited ‘Detox’ album.
Haynes got straight to the point when speaking to Dre and asked him about the mythical album. Wasting no time, Haynes asked the legendary rapper/producer if ‘Detox’ was permanently shelved and Dre responded by saying, “I’m working on a couple songs right now. We’ll see.”
Dre’s ‘Detox’ album has been rumored since the early 2000s and announced around 2002. From there fuel has continusiouly been added to the fire as pictures of Dre in the studio have surfaced. Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Nas, Lil Wayne, Eve, Akon, Alicia Keys, and others have been rumored to have contributed on the album.
Following the rumors Dre released “I Need A Doctor” featuring Eminem and Skylar Grey and “Kush” featuring Snoop Dogg and Akon, which were believed to be part of the ‘Detox’ roll out. The Doctor eventually came out and said he was scraping the album and dropped ‘Compton: The Soundtrack’ back in 2015 instead.
This is the biggest development on the ‘Detox’ front since Dre said he shelved it for good in 2015. Let’s see if we finally get the album this year. Stay tuned for updates.
I pulled up on P-Lo yesterday at his “More Than Anything Tour” stop at the El Rey Theatre. Following the show I stepped back stage to talk to him about different topics. Amongst the topics we discussed were his ‘More Than Anything’ album, his plans for the rest of the year, the Bay Area’s talent pool, his work on G-Eazy’s forthcoming album, and more.
MAMBA OUT!
Kobe went out with a bang in his last game! The Black Mamba ended his illustrious career in the best way he possibly could by scoring 60 points with four boards and four dimes.
His 60 point performance made it the most exciting game the Lakers played all season and brought an electrifying energy to the Staples Center, which wasn’t there all year long.
Of course the stars were in attendance to catch the ending of an era in LA. Everybody from Kanye West to Jay-Z to Kendrick Lamar to G-Eazy to George Lopez, the list goes on.
Ticket prices for the once-in-lifetime event were outrageous but anybody that experienced the moment can tell you every dollar was worth it.

Genuine basketball fans anticipated Kobe’s final game would be a very special one. However, nobody expected it to be as epic as the 60 point performance the Black Mamba had. Mamba out!
Last night was the final chapter to an incredible story. I walk away at peace knowing my love for the game & this city will never be broken.
WARRIORS SURPASS BULLS
The Golden State Warriors entered the season with one goal, that goal was simply to repeat as champions. As the season progressed, they continued to consistently win games and on Wednesday night they got their biggest win of the year, 73.
Their 73rd win of the season broke the ’95-’96 Chicago Bulls’ record for most wins in a single-season.
That Bulls team is viewed today as one of the best teams in history, so that is saying something about this year’s Warriors.
Although it’s been a record-breaking season for the Warriors, they have a long road in the playoffs and will focus on the goal they came into the season with, to repeat.
N.W.A. INDUCTED TO ROCK & ROLL HOF
One of the biggest outlaw groups in the history of hip-hop and also the pioneers of gangsta rap, N.W.A., were one of the biggest names in this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class.
Although there have been other hip-hop names notably Run DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys, N.W.A. are the first west coasters to get such honors.
It’s been long overdue for N.W.A. to get such honors as they were insturmental in inflating very controversial subjects and became villains for doing so.
Thru time the vindication they faced made them in some ways heroic figures and a voice for the “hood.”
Of course when you’re winning there’s always somebody trying to hate on your victory. Gene Simmons came out to say the rap group shouldn’t have been inducted because they aren’t “rock & roll.”
One thing is for certain, they did live like rock stars.
KHALED SIGNS ANOTHER ONE
DJ Khaled has had a very good year to say the least and it’s not even summer yet.
From signing to Roc Nation to getting a deal with Apple Music and earning a show, it’s been a very successful year.
The DJ goes on snap everyday and emphasizes that he is “up to something” on the daily. Those words have proved to be very factual as he has signed yet another contract, this time with L.A. Reid’s Epic Music.
