After all the release dates, push backs, and speculation, Dr. Dre has finally begun publicly talking about a realistic release for Detox.

"I'm just now, over the last couple months, starting to feel that it's going to be right and it's something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it," Dr. Dre explained to USA Today. "In a perfect world, I'm shooting for a November or December release."

But after Detox it may be a wrap for Dre as he plans to solely focus on developing his Aftermath artists.

"I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don't put it out until I'm totally happy with it. Then it does what it does... I'm going to put this record out, promote it, and then become a hermit,” Dre explains. "I'm going to stay in the studio and produce. All I want to do is sit in the studio with that person [a new artist] for a year and try to create another masterpiece."

Dre has confirmed Detox will feature collaborations with Nas, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. Busta Rhymes has also stated he's on it in the past, as has Bishop Lamont, 50 Cent and of course Eminem.

You have to admire Dre. Dude makes music the way it's supposed to be made, oh his time schedule and no one elses. Not no label execs nobody but him. That's how art is supposed to be. I'm still as eager as ever to hear this.

I'm curious if Dre is in with the "new" West. That new type of shit coming from the likes of Pac Div, Blu, U-N-I and them.
