Dr. Dre releases the explicit video for his latest single, "I Need A Doctor" from his upcoming album "Detox", due to be released in April. The music video is the second one from the album, coming after "Kush", which featured Snoop Dogg and Akon.

The song was produced by Alex Da Kid and features Eminem and Skylar Grey on the hook.

The music video was conceived as a short film, starting with "the good doctor" reminiscing about his N.W.A. period, then concentrating on his recovery after a fierce car crash. The rapper first falls in a deep coma, with Eminem by his side trying to bring him back. Skylar Grey is pictured as a beautiful nymph, hovering over Dr. Dre's unconscious body.

Eminem frenzied plead brings Dre back to life who vigorously attacks all who pretended to be his friends and left him in need.

The video ends with Dr. Dre visiting former NWA colleague, Eric 'Eazy-E' Wright, who died in 1995, suffering from AIDS. It's a very emotional film, who will surely rank well in the charts.

sounds like another Eminem single... whoops!

If this gets out, can Thes still rap about it not existing? Maybe he'll have to change it to "SHOULDN'T exist"! (Sorry if that rubs y'all the wrong way, I'm just not down with the Eminem/Dre/Snoop stuff lately).

I love Dre.. its hard for me not to buy this album.. cause he started this album in what ..03? so the songs on there aren't all new. I heard Kush came out in like 07 or so and was leaked which is why its out now but i could be wrong. So there very well might be some good songs on there!

I do agree with the whole eminem thing. I just cant really stand him lol. And Snoop.. snoop a loop! i love him but he just be on ANYONES tracks now. he used to be just with the westcoast folks out in SoCal but things seem to be diff now.

Im still gonna check it out lol

guessing from the number of times it's been slated to come out, Dre's probably started this album about 5 times... I'm guessing most of what ~~will~~ might be released will be recent productions. Then again, Dre didn't even produce that new single. I was expecting some hard-as-hell Dre beats and that old fire-burning, passionate Eminem we used to know and love but left disappointed on both counts

I know i feel you on that one Po... it looks like HELLA people produced this album BUT dre.. and i love his old beats.. it gives you that whole LA feel and you always know when its a dre beat.. i honestly thought "kush" was his because of the use of the piano but nope.. but ya i know what u mean it def will probably be his more recent songs =\ I just always loved LA music.. so dre, snoop, ice cube, the game etc.. are all people i really like so initialy i was really excited about this.

Eminem is just to much yelling in his songs now. his flow is EXACTLY the same in every song.. idk i just dont care for any of his new songs what so ever

A lot of times I question whether I'm disliking someone because they blew up and made it big time, or maybe they have an image I don't like, but I think that Dre and Snoop just took their music to a place I can't follow. The jury is still out on Eminem; honestly, I haven't listened to enough of his sh*t to make a decision.

So what do you guys think of people like Kanye and Jay Z and Puffy and all those other big rap stars? Is there anyone that's BIG TIME that you guys love? Guilty pleasure?

Kanye is legitimately one of the best musicians out there, bar none. My opinion. People rag on him for his personal demons, but for me his music is so good that I can look past that.

On the Dr. Dre tip though, I've been disappointed all around. I'll still listen when it comes out though.

Is Dr Dre still relevant these days? Personally, I stopped caring about his work after the Chronic..

Its one of those questions that really comes down to personal taste and as such is very hard to quantify. For me i agree pretty much with Fecam....after The Chronic it seemed as though both him and Snoop had reached there peak and from then they were rehashing (excuse the pun) the same formula to try and stay relevant. I never thought Dre had much skill on the mic but there was no doubt that he had skills when it came to production. Snoop seemed to have a note book of ryhmes that he used on Doggy Style and the Chronic and since then has just been going over the same ground without much else to say. As for the rest.....well Kanye, Puffy etc really aren't my taste....as for Jay-Z its a bit of love/hate (mostly hate!!) but when you listen to his MTV unplugged session backed by The Roots then i am down with some of the tracks. I suppose my real guilty pleasure is Biggie, but only when produced by Easy Mo Bee or Premier. As De La once said....it might blow up, but it won't go pop.

Biggie shouldn't be a "guilty pleasure". One of the illest and most important rappers ever!

Ill always have some respect for Dre fo his ill producing etc, and for giving the world this....

I personally believe he took FAR too long to release the album, the hype built up to a ridiculous level and now everyone is expecting The Chronic 2 and i think times have changed a little too much (as have the artists themselves) ah well, well see if the album gets released and no doubt ill pick it up.

Peace
