Should Dr. Dre And Eminem's 'I Need A Doctor' Be The First Detox Single?: Fans Respond
Dr. Dre's long-awaited, much-rumored, oft-delayed third album, Detox, may not be dropping on April 20 like some expected after a video clip of the Good Doctor and Just Blaze dropped last week, but one thing is for sure: The album is on the way.

And we actually believe it this time because it appears that Detox has its' first official single — a song called "I Need A Doctor," featuring Eminem and singer Skylar Grey, that will drop on February 1 according to pre-order availability on Amazon.com. The song's producer Alex Da Kid also did an interview recently where he confirmed "I Need A Doctor" as Detox's first single and official artwork for the single has been making the rounds on the Web.

But is the song — which first leaked to the Internet as an unfinished track back in November and left some rap fans unsatisfied due in part to the fact that it sounded more like a leftover for Eminem than something that should appear on Detox — the right choice for an official comeback single for Dr. Dre? A quick survey of the Internet shows the jury may still be out.

"Hopefully they switched it up from the one that leaked," Boxden member FrostyNug24 wrote shortly after news of the single dropped. "The song had no replay value at all. After one listen, I was tired of it."

FrostyNug24's fellow Boxden member MistaKlean agrees but thinks hip-hop fans could be pleasantly surprised when they hear the final version of the song.

"I bet they changed it up big time," he wrote. "The leaked song sounded like it was a song for Eminem for Recovery. They probably redid the song and kept the same concept ... I highly doubt Dre would release a single for his album where he has one 30-second verse and Em spits most on the song."

On the other hand, some fans are just glad to see that it sounds like Dre's label Interscope is finally giving "I Need A Doctor" a proper push in the first place.

"I thought this was one of the deepest and most emotional hip-hop songs in years and was hoping there would be a final version of it," Gordon B. wrote on 2DopeBoyz. "This is great news, can't wait."

But the prevailing sentiment seems to be that folks shouldn't try and judge Dre's first official single in more than ten years before it's officially released. After all, didn't we just learn a lesson from another artist who leaked songs directly to the Internet in the months leading up to his album?

"Hasn't Kanye taught anybody anything?" Vincent Salamatino asked in the comments section of a story about the song on HipHopDX. "Never take a leaked record and rate it, because everything will be cleaned up by the time the album comes out. The levels will be adjusted, the vocals will be crisper and other subtleties will be added. We are talking about Dre here."

Good point. Now let's just hope that the Doctor delivers.

i know i might be the only one who thinks this but the song isn't all that great to be honest

[mdemaz]

I didn't like it that much as well..
But I don't hate it. O.O

[ra1n]

what the fuck are they thinking using this as a dre single? for one, dre didn't produce it; two, eminem has more verses than dre, it's practically a Recovery song.

This will flop like Kush did.

[N.W.A.]

Don't want to judge it based on a bad quality leak, waiting for the finished version to really listen to it. First thoughts though, sounds more like a Recovery leftover than Detox.

[xxTrigger1989xx]

No hate from me, but I'm hoping for something different that wasn't in the leaked version

[Fa-Q]

Its not the first single? I thought Kush was?

[Poison Ivy]

Its not the first single? I thought Kush was?

So, did I but I guess not.

It's smart, business wise. No one outside of real hip hop fans really knows who Dre is or cares. They probably know his name, but the last time he had a hot song out N'Sync was probably the biggest band alive. Em is one of the most, if not THE most, popular musicians out. Attach his name to anything and it will get listens and sell.

This is all assuming it IS the 1st single also...

sigged
songs with Eminem and a chick on the hook in 2010+ don't flop

hate it or love it, but it will go to #1 in a day

[VenomBlackViper]

I definitely am not hating, in fact, I can't wait for the CDQ

This.

[2shady4u]

i dont think the song is bad but honestly its been how long since everyone has been anticipating this album...i dont look at it as anything close to "forgot about dre"...honestly a great street single to get people more interested but for someone who has been working on an album for "so long" i just thought something like this would be on par

It's true it''s an Eminem song and Dre is just a feature. It's good for Eminem and Scylar but it kinda sucks for Dre since the first single should be mainly about him. Perhaps they wouldn't have released it as a single if the song hadn't leaked and showed a potential. But maybe there's nothing better on Detox. Now I don't mean quality wise but the mainstream appeal.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Fuck them boxden nikkaz

why dont they take our opinions on TRSHADY!
