Great article at the Rap Dictionary:
"Andre Romel Young (born February 18, 1965 in Los Angeles, California), better known as Dr. Dre, is a pioneer of today's hip-hop culture and gangsta rap. Dr. Dre started his producing career as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru during the first half of the 1980s. In 1986, he and fellow World Class Wreckin' Cru member DJ Yella were two of the founding members of N.W.A., a highly successful and controversial group that created the protoype for much of what was termed "gangsta rap" in the 1990s. Dr. Dre enjoyed significant success in NWA, but left the group at the peak of its popularity in 1991 to form Death Row Records with Suge Knight."
"The release of Detox, which was to be Dre's final solo album, was planned for 2004. The project was declared to be cancelled for a while, as Dre decided to put all his effort into producing the artists on his Aftermath label, including Eminem, 50 Cent, Eve, The Game, Stat Quo, and Busta Rhymes; former NWA member Ice Cube is currently negotiating a contract with the label. However, in November 2004, Dre and Interscope confirmed that Detox was still in the works and is currently scheduled to be released in Fall 2005. On the Eminem song "Encore", featuring Dre himself, Eminem mentions that the Eminem crew will "make" him do the album."
