    I don't understand the Psycho and Outta Control Remix comparison. Outta Control Remix has always been one of his best beats in my eyes.

    Your post reminded me of a Scott Storch interview in like 2003 where he called Detox "the most advanced rap album of all-time" and then used Obie Trice's Oh as an example. He said that was a Detox throwaway but they were all like that in the sense that every beat had a different instrumental for each verse.

    And I'm not talking about beat switches which I hate btw.

    Let's face it, there was about 50 different versions of Detox over the decades. I'm sure at one point this was true but it was also many other things.

    Dre definitely gave some Detox contender production to the stars like 50 Cent’s GRODT, Obie’s Cheers & Busta’s TBB

    This was also a Detox track originally:



    One of my favourite tracks.

    I remember an article describing the current Detox at the time being similar to a movie, like a score with the verses depicting stories at the same time - I would’ve loved to hear that version.

    INAD & Kush leaked & they decided to go ahead with their releases. I don’t think there was ever any intention of releasing them before that - they weren’t even produced by Dre.

    Plus a few months after their single releases, they confirmed that they weren’t on the album itself, only promo singles. There’s no way Dre of all people is putting an Alex Da Kid drum kit mixed underwater on his solo album, especially his last.

    But like @Guma said - different eras. It shocks me that people can’t differentiate the leaks from different eras.

    There’s probably only Die Hard & Young World out of all the leaks that are in like the top 100 in Dre’s vault. Under Pressure was probably up there but that was completely barebones when it leaked.

    Different eras of it. So you can’t put everything they said as mentioning 2011 Detox, which was the worst one of the bunch.

    I can't imagine all the leaked songs were destined to be on the same project.

    But yeah, thinking of the time frame we may have dodged a bullet. We would've got a s-----y Em feature. Snoop had seen a dip (although he always pulls through for Dre).

    Best thing would be been an NWA song.

    On a side note, I'm still f---ing pissed 10 odd years later we never got that NWA reunion album. They were deep in it.

    Hello
    Think I'm missing one more?

    They both had a similar feel to them and if that was a sample of hour the album was due to continue it would be a certified classic today.
