    I just don't understand what would have perturbed him from and beleaguered him into the opposing stance he eventually withheld where/when he felt it was too much of a lost cause to drop it out of nowhere? Instead of making "Detox" the soundtrack for "Straight Out Of Compton", he drops a different set of songs for that. *Sighs* "Detox" could have at least topped his last album ("2001"). What did he have to lose?

    Him being perfectionist was the main reason why Detox never dropped

    But "Compton" isn't perfection. Neither is "Relapse" and his production is all over that. *Sigh* Makes no sense to me. Someone was in his ear telling him that it was a lost cause. It's not logical.

    True. I think he was forcing himself to finish "Detox" for so many years he got tired with it and then "Straight Outta Compton" happened, Dr. Dre felt inspired because of it and made "Compton" which seems to be better for him than "Detox" ever was. Idk, it's just Dr. Dre, you can't figure him out.

    theres got to be at least 100 tracks that were suppose to be for Detox, considering how many people said they worked on it on a 10yr + span

    100? I'd say at least 500+ songs, scraps, demos etc.

    true you would think 500 but considering its Dr.Dre and actually finished song might be a lot less...

    but I'm sure you are right with demos, verses, scraps etc...

    I guess we will never know

    I guess you're right, who knows how much material was made. Dr. Dre said he's recording every single day

    They make him sound like a perfectionist...so I'm not sure how fast he is to finish a song compared to other producers

    though there has been so many artists that have said they worked on Detox....Game, 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop, Nas, TI, all the aftermath artist's etc...

    This is the greatest rap song that never saw the light of day. Hopefully, we'll get it some day.

    I love the end when the guy says "you got a time bomb or something" you know everyone thinks it's just too dope too handle. Dre honestly must be clueless. A song like this would probably be liked by about 99% of the hip hop community and probably by most casual music listeners. It baffles me honestly.
