    The trailer is dope as h---, it looks like a movie :em55:
    I know dre cares about quality anyway, but there must be a reason why they're putting so much effort in this.

    Couldn’t agree more about still wanting early Detox.

    On the bright side, Dre sounds even better on the mic these days than he did when he recorded these early Detox tracks. And I don’t think he’s philosophically opposed to including older beats on new releases, even if they were leaked in some form or another (see the last track on Compton). With Dre, I think the best music making the cut takes precedence over everything else.

    For myself, I’m still holding out hope that some finished version of this sees the light of day:


    Also wouldn’t mind getting the fully finished version of 50’s Psycho with the violin strings from the Chrysler commercial.

    Can't find the other snippets, but this is one of them:
    https://onlyfiles.io/f/be0c95bc7d5b49ac9cef9fef93ff64fc

    It features Keedron Bryant and was probably recorded in 2020.
    We heard another snippet from it last year. Dre's son curtis did the reference track for dre:

    Loads of those GRODT beats were actually for Rakim. He rapped over most of them for his album on Aftermath in the early 2000’s.

    Things have been real quiet since they pulled The Contract off of iTunes and streaming last week. Strange how they build up hype and momentum then just let everyone forget about it.
    Maybe something new will still drop before the Super Bowl performance?

    This EP is so good! At last Dre's the main voice on his own s---. And he is even more charistmatic than usual!

    The verse is fine. I just find Busta too much of a contrast for the vibe of the song.

    My fear right now is that these 6 songs will make their way onto a 12 track album, fully mastered of course. Along with the token 2 tracks that Dre won't be a featured artist on that leaves us with potentially only 4 new Dre songs on an official album.

    This isn’t an issue if Rockstar releases the music as a GTA Soundtrack, which would allow Dre to be listed as “featured on” the music and would prevent it from appearing as an official Dre album on streaming services.

    The soundtrack format has been the most obvious solution from the start since it’s a win for all involved — Rockstar would receive a huge (and free) bump in promotion from streaming services and fans would get to listen to proper mixes of the music without resorting to half-channel rips and YouTube uploads, all while allowing Dre to safely distance himself from any potential tarnish on his legacy.

    Given such an obvious solution, I’m incredulous that Rockstar has still been unable to get their act together to facilitate the proper release of this music.
