Hip-hop impresario says his long-delayed album will come out this year and will feature appearances from Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, and Busta Rhymes.

"Trust me, this will be worth the wait."

Dr. Dre Dr. Dre

That's the word from Dr. Dre on his long-delayed Detox album, the follow-up to 1999's 2001.

In an interview on Los Angeles radio station Power 106, Dre said that the likes of Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, and Busta Rhymes are set to appear on the album.

"I'm trying to get everybody that I've ever worked with over the years to appear on the record," Dre told the station. "Trust me, this will be worth the wait--I'm trying to make this the one they remember me for."

Most importantly for starving fans of the G-Funk sound, the album will be in stores this year, he said.

"It's a lot of pressure, but I'm feeling good about it," he added. "I feel like I'm my worst critic and if I'm loving it, everyone else will. I'm trying to put 12, 13 songs on the album. I'm not totally sure about the month, but it will be definitely be out this year."

The album is also set to include newcomers Bishop Lamont and Slim the Mobster.

The CD will feature a lot more than that, like in the interview, he want to put everybody he has ever worked with on this, his final CD. there have already been songs rumored with 50, Kurupt, The D.O.C., Nate, Knoc' Turnal, Warren G. Em has already been confirmed on the album BTW
and it I don't think it will come out until Sept. or something because 50's new album "Curtis" drops 6/26/06. That what is says on the Dr.'s site but I think it a typo and will be fixed to 07

What are you talking about Jay and Dre sound great together, They have a song call Get your Money Right with them and The Game, it's old since it has to do with The Game still being in G-Unit. I can't remember if this was actually a leaked track from it's original release date in 04 or if this is on a mixtape, and the song is bumpin'!

sorry I meant *dr. dre is west coast, but 12 or 13 songs isn't bad as long as they don't leave us asking for more and Dre has to put funny intros that the chronic and 2001 had but I think Dre is too mature for that and he's working with ppl that weren't even like that and Snoop probably isnt as XXX as he was but w/e I can't wait

1st off if jigga appears on this cd it might kill the song, jigga and dr. dre don't go together jay-z is west coast and jay-z is pop-rap and NY hip hop at the same time doesnt mix very well... no matter how good jigga was or is, and eminem shouldnt be on the album imo he's fallen off HARD just alone from 2004. Em isnt as good as he was back in The Marshall Mathers LP time nor none of that. The last album Eminem was real good lyrically and hadnt fallen off though he was alot more serious was in Obie Trice's Cheers everything after that has been good decent or just garbage

I don't give a sh*t if there will be 10 or 20 songs. it's better if you got 10 songs which all are very good or if you got 20 songs which all are average...

Whaat!? Please get at least 15. And make sure there is another song with a great Eminem's hook/refrain, and more tracks with no features at all, only you Dr. Dre, your beat, your lyrics, and your flow. Don't let Jay-z get too cocky on your track, don't let it be too laid back. I'm sick of cheasy Jay-z's cameos.

Make sure you executive-produce Raekwon's album well as well.

This should be a double disc.
How long has it taken for this to happen and you give us 13 songs at most?
LAME.

Yeah for reals though, I had heard about 14 months ago that the long anticipated album was coming in '06. But that never happened. So we'll see this year.

Dr. Dre Dr. Dre

More than any other rapper, Dr. Dre was responsible for moving away from the avant-noise and political stance of Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions as well as the party vibes of old-school rap. Instead, Dre pioneered gangsta rap and his own variation of the sound, G-funk. BDP's early albums were hardcore but cautionary tales of the...

As the embodiment of '90s gangsta rap, Snoop Dogg blurred the lines between reality and fiction. Introduced to the world through Dr. Dre's The Chronic, Snoop quickly became the most famous star in rap, partially because of his drawled, laconic rhyming and partially because the violence that his lyrics implied seemed real, especially after he was...

To the admiration of a generation, Jay-Z led an incredibly storied career in the rap industry, pulling himself up by his bootstraps as a youth to one day become the reigning rapper of New York City and then a major-label executive following his retirement from music-making. More than anyone, Jay-Z embodied the ultimate rags-to-riches rap dream,...
