First single off of Detox?



Is it really coming? It's been so anticipated it's gone past the point of anticipation into irrelevancy and straight back to mythic status; 1999 feels like a loooong time ago. Here's a video of Bishop Lamont overseas premiering what is supposedly the first single off the long awaited (to put it lightly) album.

Dre has appearance been taking piano lessons from Burt Bacharach, and I can't believe I just typed that, but it's Dr. Fucking Dre if he thinks he needs to learn a thing or two more about song composition I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Everyone from Jay-Z to Lil Wayne has appearantly written for this thing, and it could be anything from a "hip-hop opera" to a full fledged gangster rap masterpiece, who knows at this point. Expect appearances from Jay-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne, Eminem, 50 Cent, Snoop and the rest of the usual suspects. It'd be cool to get the game on there but thats just not gonna happen.

Who knows if we'll get a CDQ soon or if this isn't even the first single or even on the album; is all I do know is that if Detox isn't an instant certified classic there are gonna be a lot of angry hip-hop fans.
