50 Cent is working on his fifth LP and has flew out to Los Angeles to work with veteran producer Dr. Dre for the project, as well as, some tracks for Detox. Fif has this carefree approach about making his own music and he sat down with XXL magazine to explain what advice he gives Dre on how to make music for Detox.
At this point Detox is an imaginary album to anticipating fans. Dre most recently saying he would be taking a break from music made this mythical album less likely to happen. 50 Cent gives him some pointers on how to approach making the records and what it is the fans want from Dre.
50 Cent explains, "Dre helped me a lot on this record. I went to Los Angeles, was working out there for a little bit. I was working on the Detox records, right. I keep saying to Dre, I'm like, 'Yo, you don't have to invent nothing. All they want is a strong version of what you gave last time.'"
He then goes on to explain that Dre is like Sade when it comes to anticipation. "They need a new version of that. It's like Sade. She goes away for six years, and then she comes back with a new disc. You go, I love this shit! It reminds you of the fuckin' shit that she gave you before she left. There's certain artists that have that luxury. You could go away and still be interesting enough to come for people to want to hear that effort. Dre is like that. As I'm busy telling him that, I go, 'Wait, maybe I'm bugging for some of the shit that I've been doing.' You know what I mean?"
Does 50 have a point when it comes to what the fans want?
