It’s been a little tussle in that area also, just because of age and being able to identify with the younger audience.”In the interview, Dre revealed that although he would continue to work with new talent, Detox will indeed be has final full-length album. “As far as me going into the mic booth, that s**t is over,” Dr. Dre revealed. “I’m always going to talent scout and try to find new artists to work with. But, yeah, that’s it. I don’t see myself doing it the way I’m doing it now…”
