Artist: Dr. Dre

Eminem confirmed that a new album was on the way last year. Since then, it was also revealed that Dr. Dre has once again linked up with Em to work on the pending album (you know, instead of releasing Detox ). In a recent radio interview, Dr. Dre stayed fairly tight-lipped about Eminem's progress in the studio, but he did say that Slim Shady is “finishing up his project." As for Dre? "I’ve just gotten inspired again to go back into the studio, so I’m just really having fun with life [...]

Over the past year or so, some previously mythological/never-going-to-ha ppen albums have indeed either dropped  or started their promotional cycle. One of the most surprising single drops of the year came in January with " Pay the Price ", the comeback release of Deltron 3030. Equally worthy of a "is this really happening?" (though not quite as exciting) is the news that Papoose's  Necrima Dream is finally dropping tomorrow, March 26. With these occurrences in mind, we began thinking about other projects that will probably never see the light of day. We already wrote about [...]

Eminem is about to complete his eighth album ,  according to Dr. Dre. "Em is finishing up his project," he said to Power 106. "And for me, I’ve just gotten inspired to go back in the studio, so I’m really just having fun with life and having fun being creative and just trying some new and different things with myself." Eminem's new album - one of our most anticipated of 2013, by the way - is the follow-up to 20102s Recovery. It's now slated for a post-Memorial Day [...]

Director: Andy Capper Cast: Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, Daz Dillinger, Diplo, Damian Marley, Bunny Wailer Certificate: TBC Running Time: 96 minutes Release: March 22 Last summer, Calvin Broadus shocked the music world when he told us he was no longer a doggy dog, he had now been reborn a proud lion. And to go with his new moniker, he would be taking a new outlook on his musical output, he would embrace his desire to make the music of the Rastafari, reggae. Absconding to Jamaica for a spiritual journey and to record his [...]

Here is who we listen to and wish had more tweets in them.

Dr. Dre has a reputation for being an obsessive, meticulous perfectionist who isn’t satisfied until the take meets his high standards. He once locked Eve in the booth for 40-plus takes, and another time obliterated Gwen Stefani’s self-confidence until she talked to 50 Cent, of all people. But every time an artist relays a story about how tough Dr. Dre was on them, they always end it with how grateful they were that he pushed them to their artistic limits. But what about his own artistic limits? Does Dr. Dre have anybody to push him to test his? [...]

For those scoring at home, Dr. Dre has 60 million new reasons to never put out another album. The Hip-Hop-godfather-turned-music -mogul is currently working on a brand-new music streaming service.

We're constantly fascinated with the creative process here at Flavorwire, and one of the most important components of that process is the space in which it takes place. For musicians, at least as far as the recording process goes, this place is the studio, and as such we thought we'd take a look at the studios of some of our favorite musicians. The contrasts on display are intriguing, from the endearingly chaotic to the pristine and very expensive, from analog to digital, from minimalist to decked out in all sorts of crazy-looking gear. We hope you enjoy them as much [...]

• DJ Mighty Mi - Nuthin But A G Thang (Mighty Mi & Slugworth Remix)

We couldn’t just hate on the ‘90s and not give credit where credit is due. Like we mentioned in our 15 Worst Music Videos of the '90s  post yesterday, there was a lot of good and a lot of bad that came out of the decade. This post is all about the former. The ‘90s brought a lot of exciting new styles to music with artists breaking stereotypes and deciding to try new things and us, and the influence still lives on today. Here we highlight the best that came out of that grungy, not-so-distant era in the form [...]

Looks like Skylar Grey has been taking some cues from her mentor Eminem . The "C'Mon Let Me Ride" singer revealed the cover art for her debut album Don't Look Down . It's, well, interesting to say the least. The singer formerly known as Holly Brook , is standing in front of a washer and dryer on the cover, looking down (you told us not to look down though, Skylar!) at a bloodied ax proudly laying atop the two machines. Skylar is clad in see-through black lace [...]

According to the Forbes Rich List for 2012 , Dr. Dre topped the charts as the highest earning musician with an income of $110 million last year. The rapper and music producer, who trumped Pink Floyd star Roger Walters and Elton John to reach top billing, owes the financial accolade largely to the success of his Beats by DRE headphones range, which accounted for a large chunk of his annual paycheck. Dr. Dre’s hi-tech headphones, with their iconic ‘b’ logo, have become an A-list accessory, with celebrities like Eminen, Snoop Dogg, Katie Holmes, Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney [...]
