Dr. Dre To Operate On Papoose?

[the illest shady]

Word is spreading that Papoose may be working with Dr. Dre on his long anticipated debut, The Nacerima Dream.

Though his freshman LP is reportedly completed, Pap is still stacking up material. While the Brooklyn emcee has already worked with DJ Premier, Kanye West, DR Period and Pharrell Williams for the album, Dre may just make it into the final track listing.

"It ain't final till it's final," Pap told sources regarding Dre's production. "I got some joints though."

Though a release date has yet to be set, Pap vows not to sit on the shelf this year. He promises that his record will sit amongst hip-hop classics once it finally hits stores.

"At the end of the day, my material, my music speaks for itself," Pap explained. "I never came into this with no gimmick. I never had to diss nobody to get no attention. I always came with pure talent, pure material. I ain't gon let ya'll down with this album, straight up and down. My album gon' make history."

Papoose's The Nacirema Dream is scheduled to hit stores later this year.
