Dr. Dre On Beats By Dre, Taking a Break From Music (Video)

While at the grand opening of the Beats By Dre store in SoHo, Dre chops it up with FADER about the success of his headphones, his past as an audio engineer and his edge over other producers, focusing on Slim the Mobster and Kendrick Lamar and taking a break from music. Wait… what? Man… Detox is never coming out.

  1. The man does everything to the highest quality, there’s no denying that. But give me Detox! Hopefully his “break from music” doesn’t last too long. Click my name to check out my blog if you are looking for another source for new music. Thanks.

  2. Love you Dre, but your headphones suck.

  3. fuck Detox.

    got people anticipated, came with some new songs, pushing back an album. when you lose it, you lose it, huh?

  4. fuck this old ass nigga. if detox ever does come out it’s most likely going to end up as trash

  5. I’ve got love for Dre but I’ve been waiting too long for Detox and now he’s taking a break, jesus.

  6. Anyone whose waiting for detox is a fuckin loser. That shit will never comeout. He should just say I’m not making detox anymore. If apply pressure, I need a doctor, and kush are any examples, I don’t even wanna hear it.

  7. lol why are people even waiting on this shit? dudes a sell out and hes old now. and it obviously wont ever come out.

    and if it did, it’s not gonna be some shit like the chronic or the chronic 2…dudes not a thug anymore hes soft now.

  8. I just lost alot of respect for dr. Dre ….taking a break from taking a break?????? dont get it. every beat hes come out with lately sucks…he should kill himself

  9. and the beats SUCK….overpriced for nothing

  10. Dear Andre Young, this is bullshit.

  11. FUCK THIS NIGGA.

  12. Like 2PAC SAID BACK IN THE DAY; THIS NIGGA NEEDS ONE YEAR TO PRODUCE 2 SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    FUCKIN GAY ASS DRE SUCKIN DICK IN THE STUDIO FUCKIN OLD ASS NIGGAA

  13. wat the f…dre, u been on a break since 2001!!!!SMH this nicca..u know detox aint comin out now…

  14. Stop with the steroids, smoke some good weed, and produce some crazy shit Dre! Ever since he looks like the Hulk he’s producing average and even wack tracks. Stop with the steroids, smoke some weed, and he’ll be producing sick tracks again, trust me.

  15. If you insult Dre, kill yourself asap. He’s a fuckin legend.
    But takin a break whereas he didn’t release a decent prod since a decade is chockin, imo. Common man, where the motherfuck is the detox ??

  16. If this isn’t the biggest “Fuck You!!!” to the fans who were actually gonna buy this damn album, I don’t know what is. 27 years? 27 years and in that time you give us 2 solo albums (Actually compilations, but that’s a whole nother convo)? And now you’re talking about a break DRE? From fucking what? I guess that Headphone money is more important than giving your fans what they want… Nah fuck that, what they demand.

  17. A Break From What??? fuck this album & This nigga!

  18. as a true fan, not only of dre but westcoast music as a whole, i am seriously hurt……i NEVER thought i would say this but, I’M DONE WITH DETOX……..the only person that could change my mind is Snoop

  19. That nigga keeps saying “okay” – shut the fuck up. seriously.

  20. Just goes to show that people don’t know shit about sound quality. Beats may look nice, but their sound quality is no where near worth the price tag. Use that money on real quality sound.

  21. Never in my life would I have ever thought I would say this but, FUCK THIS NIGGA DRE

    (until that album drop at least)

  22. This is the exact moment when Dre will begin work on the true Detox and every track will be fire.

    Detox dropping summer 2012

  23. Don’t worry guys Detox is still coming..

    LOL

    JK

  24. here is a list of things that will happen before we ever get to see Detox:

    - lil wayne getting rid of his dreads
    - waka flocka doing a song with miley cyrus
    - based god getting signed to def jam
    - fiddy and cam collab
    - bieber release a rap mixtape (wait, that might be very likely)
    - the roots split up
    - rick ross deciding to stop going after every rapper to sign to Maybach music (honestly, he goes after everyone)
    - snoop dogg quits smoking

  25. Best thing he can do is to never release Detox, EVER. There is no way it could live up to any kind of hype let alone the most hype in the history of hip hop. Might as well just focus on producing for other artists, I honestly don’t even want to hear an album from him and I’ve been a big fan for 15+yrs.

  26. I agree wit Awye, los, and nah bruh
    Who even gives a fuck anymore? I stopped anticipating this shit years ago, plus the songs he’s released as singles were fuckin’ garbage. Which leaves me at my precious question, who gives a fuck anymore? Like really.

  27. I agree with DreFan since 91 it’s the steroids, ever since this dude focused on that his music has been garbage. He went from Chunky his whole life to The Hulk in his 40s, that shit aint fooling anyone and it’s no coincidence that his music turned into straight garbage at the same time. So yeah ‘who cares’ who gives a fuck anymore nobody I know does.

  28. hahaha Dre Beats are a JOKE in the music industry. Fuckin lame ass chinese-made headphones, they worse than them overprised Boses and that is saying somethin. You a gotdamn fool if you buy some $300 headphones that sound like some $50 cans AT BEST lmao

  29. I’m sure the tracks are whack. KUSH was probably the only viable single on the record, that’s why they put it out. He can never remake another Chronic Album…the fire/hunger isn’t there anymore.

  30. dre just give all your beats to kendrick lamar cause detox aint coming out

  31. Soul By Ludacris >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beats By Dre…

    Beats are hella overpriced… Even tho Souls are too they sound better…

  32. people will bitch just to bitch.This man gave you the first 2 chronics/Slim Shady.which gave you 50 cent/ Game/ etc.. he owes you fucks NOTHING!!!

  33. Even if detox did come out and did’t live up to the HYPE. You same people bitching will be the same people saying he should have stayed gone. You don’t think this man knows what best for his own legacy?

  34. For real? Fuck that, give us Detox. Dre produced a couple joints off GhostWridah’s next shit though, “GhostWridah – No Apologies (Tracklist)” http://www.kidswastingtime.com/2011/11/ghostwridah-no-apologies-tracklist.html

  35. Dre lost his drive and direction when Bishop Lamont left. True story.

  36. I was walking home today and wondering what happened to Detox… like there actually seemed like there was progress being made with those singles and all… I guess not… Dr. Dre is taking a break from taking a break -_-

  37. This is why Quik is the best Producer Ever! No bull shitting. why start something you can’t finished SMFH

  38. Perfectionism is a clinical mental disorder. I think Dre thinks that as long as he keeps redoing shit (going on 11 years now), that he is in the clear. In actuality, he has made himself look extremely pathetic. He looks like a straight up pussy. He’s finished 4 different incarnations of this album. He could have release 4 different platinum selling albums in this time, but he keeps scrapping it and redoing it. STOP, it’s NEVER going to be perfect. Tons of bands push albums very very far creatively, but they at least put the fucking album out.

    By the way, Beats by Dre are horrible headphones. Get some real headphones made by real headphone companies. For $250 you can get some Beyer Dynamics that sound a trillion times better than Dre’s garbage.

  39. my girl gave me some beats for my birthday

    i slangt those shits on craigslist the next day and took her out for an expensive dinner instead.

    fuck dre
