The recent Grammy show performance with Eminem sealed the deal, proving the good Doctor was indeed preparing the promo push for Detox. And today, the video for “I Need A Doctor” brings us one step closer to seeing the release of an album long thought to be a myth, left on the backburner or accruing dust in the vaults. Yes, Detox is finally coming. Again.

I like it you cant help but feel for the dude. After losing his son and all. Eminem poured his heart out in the song as well.
Great song, great video. I just hope Detox actually comes out one of these days.
Dre looks like he can do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8ah2LtcWls
just a gimmick to remind the young kiddies all the work dre put in.
i aint mad at them…i wish someone would politely tap dre on the shoulder and tell him that the tight sweater thing is kind of tired now though.
aggin lookin like a buff bill cosby to me…these young kids dont give a shit about how fit dre is and his older fans are just gonna clown him for it…i understand you wanna be healthy but ur making your fitness a focal point it kind of screams that hes insecure.
muscles dont equal youth.
no way will the album live up to the hype thats built ova the years.
i still think that its gonna be betta than most of the basura put out these days.
i got my Dr. Dre sticker pack 2day from here:

the shirts freshhhh. great quality print.
i didnt realize they print on AA tees though…shits mad snug. i think ima cop a lg & give away the shmedium i got.
detox coming out? i’ll believe it when i see it
I like the archival footage, I don’t call it a gimmick, just stating facts. Ppl are gonna buy this just cause Em is on it. But all of a sudden, this song is a lil more bearable now.
Em poured his heart out on that second verse. That alone gets it on the iTunes.
Dr. Dre is auditioning for a Reebok commercial in this haha! The Zig shoes, him working out, drinking Gatorage, c’mon son! Only thing missing was him holding up the shoe and a copy of Detox letting us now it’s actually coming!
But I did enjoy the video, the archive footage was real nice.
I had it engraved in my mind that this video would suck but damn that second verse by Em, the archival footage and chorus did this video many favors, loke it a whole lot better than the song alone.
All in all, a pretty damn good show.
Em’s second verse is pretty thorough in its break down of his and most hip-hop fan’s issues with Dre.
This shit have cost a fortune tho… ya don’t really see production $$$ thrown at rap vids like this these days (writing off a Ferrari!?) the whole rebuilding concept is a bit old tho…. still the vid is dope for the classic stock footage alone.
I know why, but still thought it was suss havin Dre mourning over Eazy’s grave when his son died recently yaknow?
nice song. nice vid. go detox.
i bet the budget came from product placement.
Great!
well done, the years and especially this last decade have definitely taken a toll on him though, you can see it on his face.
still dont like the hook though, but ill live with it
great video!
this was pretty much the sickest possible video b4 you see some chick floating around starts singing and ooooh wait i thought this was a Dr. dre song but oh whats that it just sounds like the serious piece of crap sound that eminem has incorporated since marshall mathers lp, am i the only one that isnt completely disappointed with all this crap he’s been coming out with from detox, i go from having the chonics to this bullshit, aint no more g thang, you need to really not just look at the clips you put in this video and sit down listen to your b4 work dre and be like wow im sucking into the media i once said fuck you im doin the music i want to and making shit thatll be popular, ice cube keeps it real and he still pops off a good song here and there, i want chronic, i want that funky g shit you did oh so well dre…god dammit go smoke some weed
I’m going be honest I wasn’t expecting much from this video & it turned out really dope! To the point it actually gave me chills! Especially the ending & I haven’t gotten chills from a video in quite a while which really says something too!
Not Reebok Zigtech’s – Those are K Swiss.
And if you noticed them then the scheme worked!!!
Product Placement Galore in this vid!!
Love it the tracks & even the visuals but the product
branding kind of took away from it.
From beginning to end…..
Lamborghini
HP
G Shock
K Swiss
Monster Cables
Beats by Dr Dre
Gatorade
Wow!! Video turned commercial!!!
