Are You Still Holding out for Detox?

Bishop Lamont recently played guest host on Current TV’s Daily Fix, where he dropped some skinny on Dr. Dre’s oft-delayed longplayer, Detox.

“Your best is not good enough for this dude [Dr. Dre]. You have to impress God. Jesus has to call you and say ‘That’s amazing’. That’s how he works. “

Seven years and still no sign of Detox. Is anyone still eagerly anticipating this thing?

[PS: If you've just returned from a 4-year trip overseas and had never heard of Bishop Lamont, get started with his Caltroit Mixtape]

“eagerly” is a strong word.

has bishop lamont listened to Dre’s other beats lately? not all that mind blowing, unless he of course, saves the best for himself.

The work he’s done for Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Snoop…Snoozy tracks that weren’t all that impressionable.

Dr. Dre is just WAY overrated.

I don’t think ppl care anymore really..he set the bar a little too high for himself I think with declaring that the music was going to be game-changing hence the turning down of everything…

‘Detox’ = the hip hop ‘Chinese Democracy.’ While I don’t think Dre is that dude any more like he was a decade ago, I gotta disagree with Sooch above.

The beats Dre did for Busta’s last album were fire, Busta just didn’t do them justice, not cos he’s wack but because every rapper doesn’t necessarily complement a Dre beat. If Dre had been on those beats, trust me you’d be singin’ a different tune.
