There is finally some hope that Producer/Rapper, Dr Dre is going to drop his long awaited album. I think i have been waiting on this album since when i was in my second year in college, and that was back in 2004, but i thank God it is finally dropping.
In a recent interview, Dre didn't give a specific date, but said it would definitely drop in the first quarter of next year, probably Feb of 2011. I think i can take him for his word this time since the official first single, "kush", is out and is slowly growing on people. The single features Akon and Snoop Dogg. Other feautured artist on the album are Eminem, Jay-Z and The Game.
If you don't really know Dre from the past let me give you a quick run down; he was in the legendary West Coast rap group, NWA, which also had Eazy E and Ice Cube as members, back in the late eighties. He went on to Death Row records, which was put up by Suge Knights, and dropped his first solo album, The Chronic, which was a huge success, in 1992, and then dropped his second album, in 1999, which he titled 2001. Both albums have sold a combined 16million copies, in the U.S alone, and more millions worldwide. He signed and developed the careers of super star rappers like Snoop, eminem, 50cent and The Game.
