We got a nice little piece of information yesterday regarding a surprise presenter at this weekend's MTV Video Music Awards, Dr. Dre. Now what would cause the elusive (aka Mr. always in the studio) producer to return to an award show? It is really strange to hear that Dr. Dre will be presenting anything in public since the last time he went to an awards show he got punched and someone else got stabbed.
Now if Dre maybe had some project or an album to promote then his appearance at the VMA's might make more sense. Possibly an album that has been talked about for the last six years. An album that has found it's beats on songs from 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes and The Game. An album that had dozens of song songs leaked with everyone from Rakim to Jay-Z. The album is called Detox and it just might be Dr. Dre's final album.
Dr. Dre confirmed (in this video with Bishop Lamont) that Detox would be coming out in September 2007.
Somebody remind me what month this is?
[UPDATE] Hip-Hop fans did see Dr. Dre at the 2007 VMA's.
Someone went to the Timbaland school of muscle technology
Dr. Dre showed up looking like he has been bench pressing cars on the weekend and said only that "Detox is coming". Not exactly a big revelation but it was nice seeing him in a drama (and injury) free environment. The only fight to break out was not Hip-Hop related but instead, between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee, but more on that later…
