Dr. Dre Covers XXL (December/January)
I’m really feeling it now. My energy has been back and forth with the record, tussling with doing it out of obligation, as opposed to doing it because I really feel it. My feelings about it have been going up and down. Now I’m in that place where I’m really feeling it, and it’s coming out right. It’s like, Yeah, I’m excited about it.
via XXL. Issue hits newsstands December 14th.
Fool me once…
Bonus: Dr. Dre calls Big Boy’s Neighborhood (Talks “Kush” leak, says it’s the only weed song on Detox)

On recording “This Can’t Be Life” with Scarface:
“We’re sitting in the front room, talking, and his phone rings, and he’s like, ‘Nah, man,’ and you can see something’s happening on the other line. And then he gets on the phone again, and he calls his wife and checks on his children. And then he got off the phone and he told me that one of his friends’ kid was in a house fire. And I’m like, ‘Aw, man, I’m so sorry to hear that, we can do this another time.” And he says, nah, and he sat in the corner, and he wrote this song about the whole experience. He took this very sad experience and [made] this powerful art. It almost had me embarrassed about my verse.”

Dear Dre,
Firstly i would like to say I have enjoyed your work in the past… its great. Timeless even. But now? Now i want you to STFU… No. I dont want to hear your album. Nobody does… we really dont. If we do somehow come across it, it wont be because we purchased it.
Nobody believes you,
Remixznflow
p.s. we really dont wanna hear this album
p.p.s. i hate your HP commercial

What’s funny is every story that I read online about banning 4Loko the comments are going crazy…talking about the Gov’t overstepping on our rights and this and that. C’mon now, having a product on the shelf for $2.50 that is as strong as 4 beers and 3 cups of coffee is pretty wild
November 16th, 2010 at 2:56 pm

^oh yes… yes this>>>>>
im just in no hurry to get drunk… not anymore… i enjoy the journey.
November 16th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
what is 4loko?
seriously
November 16th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
So XXL still takes it up the chute from Interscope, huh?
November 16th, 2010 at 2:58 pm

Bad things happen when you have too many 4lokos. Probably for the best they’re getting banned.

most memorable memories with puss, came as a result of alcohol.
November 16th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
land…4Loko is a 23.5 oz can of Malt Liquor/Energy drink…they claim it has the potency of 4 beers and there is same amount of caffeine in it as 3 cups of coffee. And the shit costs $2.50 at the liquor store. My roommate drinks that shit and starts acting like a fucking idiot. Shit is wild…the most I’ve seen him drink is 1 and a half, and he was smaaaaaashed just wildin’ out like a fucking maniac. Cats aren’t gonna be responsible, they’re out there drinking 3 or 4 and blacking out doing wild shit.
I like to drink…I get it in on the weekend. I know this sounds pussy, but 4Loko is ridiculous. There’s always been cheap liquor, but it’s that caffeine too. Caffeine will make you think the alcohol isn’t really in effect next thing you know…BLACKOUT

This alone should be the reason why they keep it on the shelves

Olde ENglish 800>4loko

NONE.
November 16th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
People have been getting blackout drunk doing wild shit since the beginning of time…especially in your younger years. It’s really the amount of caffeine that’s wild. We don’t even know the full effects of energy, that shit can’t be healthy for you at all though. Mix that with alcohol sheeeit. This ain’t a rum and coke or vodka redbull either, smh. The younger generation is fucked. I have a co-worker who at 22 went to the hospital for heart problems drinking Monster energy drinks because she was in college. She still drinks that shit. SMH
November 16th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
caffeine + alcohol?
sounds like you should need a prescription for that shit

November 16th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
The new Dre/Snoop joint is nice … problem is niggas hype the shit up themselves so they expect records that sound like gods’ vagina or some shit like that. It’s a dope record, what more you want?
November 16th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
Vodka + Red Bull + X = messed up to the fullest
November 16th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
my buddy stays drinking 2 red bulls a ttime
lived a whole summer of mc D’s 1 time a day, cigs and energy drinks/coffee.
caffeeine really is bad for you, so is alcohol, the two together….
people want their energy…
