Dr. Dre’s album ‘Detox’ has been the highlight within the media as of late, especially with everyone so focused on its release. Interestingly enough, a release date still hasn’t been secured. Artists and producers alike weighed in the forthcoming album.

Longtime West Coaster, friend, and collaborator Snoop Dogg, who was actually featured on the first single Kush off of ”Detox,’ was recently interviewed by Tim Westwood, it seems as Snoop has the reason behind all the delays, according to him, at has something to do with the environment that Dre has kept around him.

These were his comments:

“It’s a formula. Like I was trying to explain to you earlier when we made records in the past it was an environment, an atmosphere. It was always girls,” Snoop explained. “It was always parties. It was always the right atmosphere to create that kind of album that sounds like the albums that you’ve heard in the past. If there’s not that atmosphere you can’t create that kind of album. So that’s what’s happening right now. The songs don’t match the atmosphere and the atmosphere don’t match the songs.”

Snoop continued on stating that due to Dre’s perfectionist side, the Doctpr is unlikely to release anything until he feels that it’s close to perfect:

“I’mma say this and I don’t know if it’s gonna ruffle any feathers. I just think the wrong people is in the environment. When he made records that were hit records in the past: D.O.C., Snoop Dogg, RBX, Kurupt,” said the rapper. “It’s like it’s pieces that’s not there that need to be there. And I’ll say D.O.C. and Snoop Dogg is the backbone. When you take those two equations and you take them out of the equation it’s not gonna work. You need to put them two back into the situation and let us mastermind and head the project like we did The Chronic in 2001. That’s what’s missing.”
