After taking a 16 year sabbatical, gaining mountains of excitement for his brainchild album Detox , which no longer exists and venturing into the business side, becoming Hip-Hop’s first billionaire, legendary super-producer, Dr. Dre, has reached the pinnacle of his long, highly decorated career with his third and final studio album, Compton, that released exclusively to iTunes last Friday.
For the last 16 years, Detox, became more mythic than truth, with the possibility of an actual release date fading away, as hope for the LP diminished.
In 2010 and 2011, Dre released his first two singles for the now deceased project called I Need A Doctor, with Eminem and Skylar Grey, and Kush with Snoop Dogg and Akon.
