Dr. Dre - Kush
Artist: Dr. Dre
Featuring: Snoop Dogg , Akon
Producer: Dr. Dre
Album: Detox
Label: Aftermath/Interscope
Earlier today, Dr. Dre rode into Compton on an real, live unicorn, holding aloft the Holy Grail (which was filled with water from the fabled Fountain of Youth), and spoke three words to the shocked onlookers: “Detox is real.” OK, OK, that might not have been exactly how it went down – but then again it may as well have been, considering the shockwave that went through the hip-hop nation when Kush, a now-confirmed track off the superproducer’s mythical junior set, leaked to the ‘net. Apparently the only weed-themed record on the project, this smokers’ anthem finds the West Coast mainstay cooking up a bouncing string/piano-loop backdrop for his own blunted rhymes, as well as those of an old friend; joining Dre to puff on the chronic once more is – who else? – Snoop Doggy
Dogg, who announces that he’s still “tighter than the pants on will.i.am” in his lazily-drawled 16. Akon rounds out the lineup, contributing a THC-drenched verse as well as a street-ready chorus. Does this joint give you high hopes for the endlessly-awaited album (now scheduled for release in December), or is it a puff-puff-pass? Ready… set… debate!

Finally, finally, finally! I’ve been waiting to hear something new from that Detox album.
But with that said I’m not just gonna give this track an automatic 5 stars just because it’s Dre. At first I wasn’t really feelin this I was thinking maybe 3-4 stars, but after a couple more plays, oh yeah this is a classic, 5 stars. This song would be better if Nate Dogg was on it instead of Akon, what ever happened to that guy? Is he still alive? |

This track is still growing on me, and while it doesn't have the flow of his older tracks I have to remember that music moves on, and so do some other people on this site. This is extremely catchy. As for the rest of the album? It's not going to be a classic I can tell you that much. Is it going to be good? Of course it is.

I think you guys are over-hyping this song that sounds like it should have belonged to Game aswell as him trying to flow like Game.
It's okay, the Akon collab wasn't expected but meh it's an okay start. |

How can a song with Snoop and Akon on it be bad? I just hope that Detox won't be a major disappointment, after a great single (like "The 7th Seal").

I gotta give this a few listens, but this is not anything close to classic. Just doesn't give me the feel feel of "Still D.r.e." I wanted play that over and over., but this l won't puff, I'll pass.

Im completely speechless......... This is insane. It is SOOOO good to hear from Dre. This is a classic Dre record. The production is absolutly FIRE!!! And the feature of Snoop Dogg is perfect, but i think Akon just doesnt fit. He probally should of put Eminem in this.......
Anyway, this song has a great energy with a nice hard flow. A deff Banger. |

Yeah this track will definitely be a staple in many dj's crates for a while......tight beat & verse from Dre and Snoop and Akon on a chorus is always a bonus........the break at the end DOES sound like it would have been Nate Dog's contribution to the track. Overall no complaints about the track...HEAT -

Holy $hit! I didn't see this coming at all. I knew Detox was coming but we've been waiting for this album for well over 5yrs now, so I figured all was lost. I am happy to see that it isn't true! Excellent Track with Snoop bringing it back to the original LA type flow we all love. CLASSIC TRACK... The Beat is SICK too.

As soon as that piano line dropped, it was 5 stars straight out... I haven't gotten this excited about Detox since I heard Dre say "Look out for Detox" on 'Higher' by The Game.
I think Dre has found his groove to reach the ears of the younger generation, while still keepin it "Dre". Akon sounds like he was back in his "Trouble" days (hopes and dreams though about Akon stopping that club/house/pop nonsense). Snoop wound back the clock a good 10 years with his verse. CLASSIC... No, no, no... This was just a sample... |

Detox is never goin to live up to the 10+ years of hype. Good first single, though I was expecting more. Production is nice from the doctor and both he & snoop spat some sweat rhymes. Could do some damage on the charts (despite the subject matter).

This Is Classic Dre. That Inhale Exhale Thing Had Me Cracking Up. Very Entertaining Song. I Kinda Thought They Put Too Much Music Than Bars. Snoop Doggy Dogg Fit The Song Perfectly. Bet He Was Smoking Some During The Song. Akon Shouldn't Have Been On This Song. I Like Akon But This Just Wasn't His Type Of Song. 4/5.

Not at my expectations but close. I could of pictured this on 2001 but since that was back in '99 and it's 2010, about to be '11, this feels outdated. Only since I was expecting something more advanced from the last time. Overrall still dope, instead of Akon though I would of prefered Nate Dogg. Dre and Snoop still got it though.
