Alex Da Kid: Dr. Dre Trusted Me With 'I Need A Doctor'
Producer talks to Mixtape Daily about Eminem-featuring Detox track.

At this rate, Alex Da Kid might want to consider changing his name to Alexander Da Great pretty soon.

The British beatsmith was nominated for two Grammys this week for his work on B.o.B's blockbuster hit "Nothin' On You" and Eminem's chart-topper "Love the Way You Lie." He also produced Nicki Minaj's "Massive Attack."

While he only has a few placements under his belt, the producer has a knack for knocking what he does do out of the park.

His next big single comes courtesy of his work with Dr. Dre.

The veteran hip-hop producer invited Alex Da Kid to work with him on a track for his forthcoming Detox project, "I Need a Doctor" featuring Eminem.

"That was amazing," ADK told Mixtape Daily about the experience. "He's one of my favorite producers of all time. Everybody knows how much of a perfectionist he is: He's been working on his album for 11 years. For him to bring me in, trust me, not micro-manage me, and let me bring what I do to the table, I can't even describe how that makes me feel."

The song recently arrived online, and on the number, Eminem attempts to turn the tables on his mentor. The MC credited Dre with being one of the people to help him out of his funk the past few years, so on "I Need a Doctor," Em looks to repay the producer.

"It hurts when I see you struggle/ You come to me with ideas/ You say they're pieces, so I'm puzzled," Eminem raps on the track. " 'Cause the sh-- I hear is crazy/ But you're either getting lazy/ Or don't believe in you no more/ Seem like your own opinion is not one you can form/ Can't make a decision/ You keep questioning yourself, second guessing/ It's almost like you're begging for my help/ Like I'm your leader; you're supposed to be my mentor/ I can endure no more/ Don't you remember who you are?"

"I think it's gonna be huge," Alex Da Kid said. "It's just my opinion, but it's one of my favorite songs that I did and just what it means for hip-hop."

Nice, thanks for posting!

Wasn't Alex who said something like "you gonna hear the best song of all times"reffering to Dre&Em?I guess this is what he was talking about.

Lmao @ Alexander Da Great, that would be a good change.

Annoys me that he said Dre has been working on Detox for 11 years though lmao. People keep saying that but it's not true.

in 1999 he only just finished / put on The Chronic 2001 so he wasn't fucking working on Detox since then, pretty sure it didn't even get talked about until like 2003. Not seriously anyway.

And Dre himself has said he's just kept putting it off but he's only put in months of work on it. He's just been unable to commit to it, it's not like he's been sweating 24/7 and making tracks for 11 years. This album really is legendary, in the true definition of the word it's so blown out of proportion.

It's still an amazing track though & It has the potential to be a big hit.

I like the content, I like Em's sincerity too, but it's just...this shit really needs to be mastered. The beat is far too loud, and I don't like listening to it on my headphones because of it

At first I didn't like the song, now I do like the song, but not in its current state. If that makes sense lol

so basically u will love the song once it gets released in its mastered

[mceddie]
