At some point, the inevitable will happen -we’ll hear Detox. It’s been too much rumbling about the album, including some of it from Dre himself . So whether it drops in 2011 or 2031, we’re going to hear it. That being said, one of the best things to happen to the West in 2010 has been the emergence of Compton’s own Kendrick Lamar (who has been out for awhile, but now starting to get his just due).

Overly Dedicated and The Kendrick Lamar EP rank as two of the more complete projects I’ve heard this year. The quality of his music is now affecting his buzz. So much so that Dr. Dre reached out on radio a few weeks ago expressing his appreciation for the upstart’s movement. Time works fast and here’s visual proof of the two meeting up, most likely to talk business. The conversation was apparently effective as the two were in the studio last night for a Detox session.

Only time will tell what the audio results sound like, but I’m more than positive they’ll be something worth rewinding. In a dream world, a Kendrick Lamar/Dom Kennedy EP type project produced by Dre would be the conclusion of such a meeting. But that’d be just asking too much, wouldn’t it?
