Dre has dropped the new guys for Detox, he was back in Cannes with Snoop, Warren G, Kurupt and Daz. These guys + DOC and they could probably get Quik in for some of the sessions are unbeatable. The only team that can come close to them is the Illmatic one. If Detox is still on for this year then they are going with the album DOC alluded to in the interview with HHDX. Personally I think Dre should forget everything that has built up over the years and start fresh but finish it in around a year like a normal cycle.

They need to just throw a week long old folks party, get shit recorded and then master it for however long it needs to.

The entire west coast sound is owed to Quik, DOC, Dre, and Warren G.. Mix in the other important figures like the Pound and Snoop and if you can get a Cube feature life is good..
What was the last time Cube rapped on a Dre beat? On his Peace album?
He drops some knowlage while being interviewed by Thisis50. He talks about contributing sounds to 50's Get Rich Or Die Trying. The 2001 sound thing was in a magezine, I think.Blackace said:

I bet that is exactly what happened. Dre saw the reaction to the singles and decided to start over....again. Good to see he got Warren G in the mix.
I guess that shit Snoop was talking about Detox knocked some sense into Dre.

Uhhh wat, isn't she still involved with Jay Electronica? He's living in London but still...wtf. They're probably just friends but it's still weird as hell.
I'd imagine Dre will simply ditch his old crew in a few months after realizing they just want to make the same old music over again. He should just get Odd Future and Lil B in the studio, they're the new Cali sound anyway yo

So I don't have much Hip-Hop or Rap, but I like the bit I do have and I'm wondering for some good recommendations based off what I have.
Some of the stuff I like:
Nas - Illmatic
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Deltron - Deltron 3030
Blue Scholars (in general)
Danger Doom - The Mouse and The Mask
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Gorillaz (though they clearly only have a bit)
Jay-Z - Black Album
Jay-Z + Danger Mouse - Grey Album
Kanye West (almost all his stuff except 808)
Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon (and bits of the 2nd album)
Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor
Lupe Fiasco - The Cool
Mad Villain - Madvillainy
Nujabes - Metaphorical Music
OutKast - SpeakerBoxx
I didn't like Wu-Tang Clan when I listened to them, but they still had a few songs I liked. I've also listened to a bit of The Roots, and liked what I heard of them.

Just off the top of my head:
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The son of chico dusty.
Cunninglynquist - Oneirology
TiRon & Ayomari - A prelude to ASFP
J.Cole mixtapes
The Weeknd - House of Balloons
There's a bunch in the OP. Check em out.
I don't think it works in Canada yet. Not sure though.enzo_gt said:
Listen to the rest of the artists' work that you've posted. Like the rest of Tribe's stuff and then work your way through De La Soul's discography. For MF DOOM, get MM.. FOOD, Operation Doomsday, Take Me To Your Leader (under King Geedorah). How much of Gorillaz stuff have you heard? Definitely get their Self-Titled and Demon Days if you haven't already. Two of the best albums of all time. As well as Plastic Beach but YMMV. On the Nujabes' side, get Modal Soul, Hydeout Productions One and Two, and look into Fat Jon's work. OutKast, listen to their first four albums.thestopsign said:
Definitely get:thestopsign said:
The J. Cole Mixtapes ( The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights)
CunninLynguist- A piece of Strange
Cunninlynguists- Oneirology
Binary Star- Masters of the Universe
Blu & Exile- Below the Heavens
Curren$y- Pilot Talk 1(All of his stuff is good though)
Kendrick Lamar- Section 80
I only recommended more recent albums (last 10 years).
