Okay, so we all know Andre Young ain't Paris Hilton when it comes to media-whoring. Still, we started to worry for a moment there, what with the Doc refusing to leave his studio for the past… eight or so years. Thankfully, Dre has returned from this wacky exile and given GQ an exclusive interview. Prediction? Expect to read nothing hugely revealing about Detox (features, concept, release date) and plenty of quotables on out-of-date, Hip-Hop message board fodder. In fact, MTV.com have already got their hands on one excerpt from the interview. Here's D-R-E on Jayceon and Curtissss' tired, little tiff:

Here go the obligatory conspiracy theories: 1) Def Jam CEO Jay-Z is too busy rapping about umbrellas (ay..ay…ay) to release the damn thing. 2) Track producer Dr. Dre, in a final bid to make Jayceon realize that their working relationship is done, used his leverage to pull the plug. The only way Game would learn? 3) Uh, aliens. Something to do with aliens. Inexplicable? Yes sir/ma'am, but come on: how often are conspiracies believable? Word to the Cuba-residing Tupac.
