Monday’s release of the song “Kush,” 
brought a bit of a renewed anticipation to Dr. Dre’s Detox album, after a year filled with false starts. The single, which features Snoop Dogg, Akon and an artist Slim Da Mobsta confirmed to DubCNN.com as Chief Thuderbird or Sly, almost met the same fate as “Under Pressure.” During an interview with Big Boy of Power 106, Dre said the song was also an unauthorized leak, but it will be a keeper nonetheless.
“It got leaked, and it was a version of it that I wasn’t really happy about,” Dre explained. “But we’re gonna go ahead and push it and put it out, since everybody seems to like it. It’s about weed smoking, and I didn’t want people to think that’s what my album was about. This is actually the only type of song with that type of content on it.”
In addition to pushing his line of Beats headphones—which Advertising Age just named one of America’s Hottest Brands—Dre said he was looking forward to more collaborations with Snoop as well as meeting and working with fellow Compton native Kendrick Lamar. All of the progress has apparently sped up Dre’s usually methodical recording process.
“I see the finish line right now,” Dre added. “I’m wrapping it up. I need about two or three more songs, and hopefully I’ll start the mixing process at the end of next month. From that point I’m about 30 days out. One of the reasons it was taking so long was because I felt like I was doing it more out of obligation as opposed to actually feeling it.” (November 16)
UPDATE: A spokesperson for Interscope Records and Dr. Dre just gave word that “Kush” will be made available on iTunes tomorrow, mentioning that Detox is presently planned for “early 2011.”
unless its a 4 cd set that makes my ears cum,i wont like it 🙂 thanx dre for the wait…
LOL
LMFAO!!!!!!
Hopefully dre releases Kush as a single within the next few days.
this shit aint gon drop…you been in the damn mixing process for abt a decade now…just retire fag

i’m agree with you, imagine messy marv or the jacka on a dre beat!!!!!!!!!!!
u feel me tho!?, my nigga that shit would slap
no shit that dre will take a while to release his album. he takes like a week on his drums alone. why the fuck are people surprised by his pushbacks? jesus you people are stupid and ignorant as SHIT to hiphop
Don’t worry, Dre. I’m not expecting a Detox, let alone a song like “Kush”.
only three songs , so that will only take like another 3 years , get the fuck outta here , detox is a myth like the monster of loch ness it apears once in a while but when it comes down to proof ain’t nobody seen nothing , no cd , no detox
that’s what I was about to write
i bet he has about a 100 songs that we the fans would find incredible but he over analyses, im not too happy with this song, the beat is insane but the song aint great. i really hope that jay z verse from under pressure gets used, “i should be ducking theese clubs, tiger woods” freaking awsome. cmon dreeeeeee detox us
yeah I agree but why doesnt Dre drop those records we think are incredible instead of this…
Dre shouldn’t even put that crap on the album, a sane person like me can hear kush is not tight at all.
I second that. I heard “Kush” and was like “it took you 10 years to put out a weed song?!”
If dre is truly serious about making a classic, then Kush shouldnt be on thier, if not go ahead an put that crap on the album.
HOttest blog for sneakers in the world!!

o.k., knowing the industry and dre’s obsessiveness -it seems like we wont see detox till at least may 2011. cause 3 more songs can take a month. mixing a week. mastering a few days, but the record company is gonna have to get its shit together and all that will take a couple months. i predict DETOX: Summer release.
Thomas, it aint about a weed song, he shouldn’t put it on the album cause its not tight.
and oh yeah- i feel like kush isnt really a leak and that dre is trying to feel people out- to see what to actually release as detox(Sasquatch)lol
ur right
yeah, very good point.
you’re learning
This don’t make the 10 year cut. you making us wait for this, generic sounding beat, with the must unoriginal topic in the world.
no way the beat is fucken sick, however the topic and snoop and dre are weak sounding on the lyrics.
TO ALL THE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO HATES MAN SHUT THE FUCK UP.
for real tho, its funny ass hell reading all these fools who take this shit waaaaay too serious
Dre is a beat don! the sound is the same now! produces all
over the industry have studied his sound copied it and moved
on. now people are to into different sounds (kanye’s sound
for example, extremely filtered drums and new electronic
sounds and synths). All this waiting sounds like beats frm
2002-2007, and mixing that took to long. Jus sayin the shit
sounds old. Even the song with Jay-z and who CARES about
features from rappers people have moved on from.!!!!
WAT???? NO RICK ROSS FEATURE THAT AINT COOL MAN NOT HAVIN THE BAWSE ON THE ALBUM!???! IM GON ARREST DAT NIGGA LIKE I DID WIZ KHALIFA…oops!!!!
who else thinks dre should have curren$y and lloyd banks on a track together that wud b EPIC & DOPE
honestly who really cares about Dre or Detox anymore?
Dude needs to step down
go suck a dick faggot
we no the song aint take 10 years but he been working on the album for over 10 years and surely has better tracks, dont get me wrong the track is good but im expecting better! anyway im happy with lloyd banks hfm2 for 2010 thats gonna be classic! if not classic then great.. anyway its gonna be dope!! HFM2 nov 22

Its the Dudes last album,let him do what he wants.Jesus Christ..
for all of you that think that it tooks 10 whole years to make songs like that, you’re fucking ignorant
he’s been producing the past 10 years, for eminem, the game, 50 cent, etc. Producing is just like if he was writing lyrics for 10 years, it’s hard work. SO in the time between, he gets to work on his album
So it did not take a full 10 years you dumbfucks, you dumbasses need to get your ears torn off for being so damn ignorant
lol, yeah I know that he hasn’t awake for ten years in his basement working on the levels in this wack track. but with that much hype around your album, shiet, you should be putting out some tighter shit than that. I mean go steal some scott storch beats or something if you have to, we want a still dre 2010.
Um we know he didn’t take 10 years to make the song. But Detox has been in production for like 10 years.

I’ll believe the album release when i see it. On another note glad to see dre acknowledges kendrick lamar cause dude is one of the best upcoming rappers (scratch that) mcs out right now
yes we no the song didnt take 10 years to make but he has been saying he been working on this album for over 10 years now and must have better tracks than that.. i mean it was good but not great!
i rather banks hfm2 over detox straight up!
“I see the finish line right now,†Dre added. “I’m wrapping it up. I need about two or three more YEARS…”
There fixed it for you Dre
Translated, Detox sounds like it will come out next summer.
MAN TAKE DAT WACK ASS NIGGA AKON OFF DA ALBUM!!!! I RATHER HEAR Z-RO FROM TEXAS SING THE HOOK
Z-Ro very underrated and a emcee from the south that can actually spit game. He teaching right now too, good look for him as well as Bun B. Lil who? lmao hes an entertainer not an artist.
dylan
How about you shut the fuck up and leave one of the greats alone. Without DRE alot of shit wouldn’t of happened. All you fucking lil teenagers trying to talk shit on here thinking your hard or fucking know rap its a joke. fucking go listen to soulja boi all day ya faggots

couldn’t agree more. i’m 16 but i still recognize everything dre has done for hip hop. people saying detox will flop are just fucking idiots. if he already has 2 classics, what makes you think this will flop if he’s had longer to work on it? damn right, go listen to soulja boy
FUCK DR DRE
I can’t wait to open my Detox CD and read the note that says, “Gotcha Bitches!”
hahahahaha
Like ive said on here many times before, I am at the point where I couldnt care less if this album ever comes out.
It doesnt hurt to hold off on an album for a while to build hype, but its 11 years and counting. I was excited in about 2005, now I just dont give a fuck.
who cares these retro shit, these songs like 2005
Yeah fuck those weed anthems. I mean grow up. How old are you Dre? 45 years and still rapping about weed.
love how these bitches talkin bout dre are very happy now….
but when DETOX drops haaha u can see them in a corner with a face””naaaah DRE did it again FUUUUCKKKK”””
kid go fuck yourself, dre is making the best album of the last 20 years and all haters can go fuck a dick
Ha Ha….yeh…45…

Im with you.
Detox will be an ordinary album. Its been too long and music has changed too much.
I bet there are still people dreaming about the album, thinking its going to be monumental. Dre and stupid ass fans have been keeping this lie of an album going for years, then we wonder why we get dumb music cause you got stans and dumb ass fans.
I agree. Been a Dre fan for a loooooooong time, but all his ish lately sounds the same; same beat. He needs to go back and start sampling and slicing record beats. That way his shit will sound like no one elses and be original.
I’m Happy That Dre is on his best shit.DETOX will change the landscape of hip-hop just like The Chronic did in 92.
i dont know what the *uck u been listening to….but dre been fell off…half of his best work was either sampled or scott storch made it and he took the credit…detox is gonna be *uckin trash…no hate…chronic and doggystyle classic….thats about it.
@hootie
your a fool if you think he stealing credit for Storch’s work. Read the fuckin cd jackets, if Storch worked on it his name is always there, and he openly talks about working with him and brings up the mutual respect he has for him. Storch’s other work never sounds as good as the work he does with Dre, you wonder why? maybe because it takes more than a Storch piano riff to make a solid record. There’s a lot more to beats than you think.
like this site
detox is gonna be as lame as half of the shit on the radio now….that mother fuckers just trying to stay relevant
detox coming out 3001
hahahaha
hes like maker of Metal Gear4, dude comes out with best game ever-a masterpiece and says it sucks himself ahhaha like his brain is 20 yrs in the future and the ps3 cant even do what he wanted
agree 100%
The shit leaked two nights ago, Dre spoke on it in a radio interview yesterday, and already today I heard it on the radio in Toronto. Just watch the machine (interscope) push the shit outta this record and album. The bulk of ya’ll can bitch till you die, they’re trying to push this shit to the masses, not keep it limited to hip hop fans. Hell, most of you don’t even support the music you like, so why bitch if you ain’t gonna buy it.
In TORONTO? U heard “Kush” on FLOW93.5??
Probably on the mix shows then cuz i doubt their playing it rite now…
not even 93.5, Z103.5
I cant believe it, it’s actually going to happen.
Every solo dre album changed hip hop
this one will to DETOX FOEVER!
If Detox sounds like “Kush”, I don’t even want Detox. I want sum crazy shit. His craziest productions are the best to me. “Natural Born Killers” and “What’s the Difference” for example are still sick as fuck.
your mother like’s “Deez Nut’z”
if you dont know hip hop dont comment dumb shits
it’s REALLY weird with hiphopdx.com
hiphopdx.com alwayz gets a lot of hip-hop newz….but when it comes to the BIG-BOY newz, it alwayz seems like hiphopgame.com getz it first.
hasn’t anyone seen the XXL mag, with DR. DRE on the cover?
F%$k all you haters, hust be happy one of the giants is still standing tall, not cube, not Jay, Nas maybe and not even the Wu is preforming for so many years.. Dre will school us again with innovation..
An dfor those who thought Dre fell off because his last cd is 11 years old, read again bitches http://www.allmusic.com/artist/dr-dre-p26119/credits
Deeeeetooooox is comming!
There’s nothing innovative bout “Kush” Track sounds like it was made in 05. I want tracks that sound like they’re made in 2013
Yo Dre, dont pay attention to these comments bro. These guys are obviously haters since they waste their time coming to a blog just to speak negative of a person. Kush is great! Cant wait for Detox!
