Detox is probably going to be a lot of nothing.
That said, greatest Detox leak ever, one that they REALLY should've had as a single... T.I. did a great Dre verse. Dre seems to have the greatest chemistry with Libra MCs (Tip, Eminem, Snoop). He should consider getting Wayne to ghost for him some.

I don't think that tune is all that bad really. I'm more unsurprised than underwhelmed. It sounds a bit like a track that didn't make it onto Chronic 2001. Like so many tunes before it though, it is ruined by Akon.
I don't think at this point it is really possible for Detox to meet everyone's expectations.

I take it you got to Nas' verse when you realized it wasn't amazing.

Yes, I think I spoke too soon. Slurry, woozy rappers seem to fit best over Dre's beats. Maybe. Whichever, Nas and Dre don't really go together. Ah yes, The Firm.

http://rapgenius.com/lyrics/Earl-sweatshirt-ft-vince-staples/Epar - jusfound this when googling stuff about Odd Future. Bizarre idea that i'm not sure is good or bad, undertones of that 'English 50Cent' twitter thing.

Actually I think back then Nas needed more Dre. "Phone Tap" is one of his top 10 records by far...
There was actually a rare version of that I only heard a couple of times as a child with verses from Foxy and Cormega as well. I'm going to have to probably commit crimes in order to find that damn thing...
Fucking Trackmasters. May they rot in hell for all eternity.

Have to say I love It Was Written* (Dre track on there too, I know), so can't hate on the Trackmsters completely, though their track record isn't great.
* Apparently Lupe's favourite hip hop album of all time

There's a movement of Rap to say that album is the greatest of all Nas' works. I'm not trying to be 'that guy' but, if you were to compare Illmatic to It Was Written, and then seriously conclude that the latter is the superior... I might believe you were possessed by devils or something.

Definitely not as good as Illmatic, but way better than its reputation used to suggest (then again, I don't think Illmatic is quite as good as its reputation ,tho close). It hangs together as an album really nicely. Take It In Blood is one of my favourite Nas tracks.
Side one has a premier track too.

I don't think anybody's talked about Meek Mill here, or maybe I missed it.

He's alright, his voice/delivery jar me a bit. There are some great tunes on that mixtape I posted (I think?) most of them produced by Cardiak. Luka mentioned him first, I found those tunes through looking at Cardiak's discography (which I need to investigate more).
Noz's Top 50 rap singles of the year http://www.cocaineblunts.com/blunts/?p=6513 Some great tunes on there, personally I much prefer 'Hard in the Paint' to 'B.M.F'. 'Freeze Me' would have been in my top 3 too. 'Monster' isn't that great imo although Minaj's verse is actually worthy of hype. Loads of gems I hadn't heard, like:
