    Here’s the first video from a Dr. Dre album in almost 10 years. Was “Kush” worth the wait?

    1. Agreed. I’m a huge weed smoker and dre fan, and this doesn’t make me want to smoke weed or listen to dre at all. It sounds like a whack club track from 2005. The video is played as hell too…i just saw that same concept used in a terrible video last week. Nothing about this is unqiue, original, entertaining, or fun…at all.

      1. how bout you go back to your fuckin home in kansas and leave this westcoast shit alone…boy….get on our hype bitch

    2. Pretty good, Akon, not feeling that part too much but overall good, better than some stuff out there now, Just hurry up and drop Detox

      1. these blogs are designed for hating, I get that, hate on the record if you want, but how are you gonna hate on a 46 year old for looking worn? What are you 12 or something, still got that face that’s smooth as a baby’s ass, do you shave yet? Got a bush growing down there yet?

        I’ll bet have you whining bitches in here don’t even own a genuine copy of the Chronic or 2001. Does hating every detail of the fact that this record is coming out in two months make ya’ll feel like you fit in or something?

    3. People dont really realize how historic dr dre and snoop together is. they were doin there thing in 1992 and still there running shit. and of course nate dogg would have been better but that cant happen 🙁

    4. The only people in the world that bitch and complain about everything now are old white people. Shits old. Everybody else moved on.

      Video hot.

    5. The 30+ crowd has moved on in life. Dre said this is the only weed song on the album. Good leave that shit to Wiz, keep it grown man.

    6. Keeping the tradition going with snoop dogg huh, and also I believe that is nate voice in the background with Akon.

    7. cool but still … i was expecting better after dre put the hip-hop planet on hold for about 10 years

      and i aint feelin akon on a dre track, i miss a good nate dogg vocals on the hook

      1. If it takes you 10 years to make an album, you better come out with at least an opera lol
        He made us wait for a masterpiece, but from I’ve heard until now, I can think about many songs that are better than this one.

    8. I waited 10 years to hear a good G-Funk Musik Dre… and not to see a Lamborghini!!! As respect to your fans you should have used the TRACK not first with your advertisement!!! Thanks for humiliating Dre!!!!!!!!!!!! A fan of you.

    9. this song has grown on me…and the video makes it hotter!! Video has high production values for sure!!! If you are a teenager and think that Dre’s music sucks today…please do your homework as this mans music has grown as it should…Dre been in the game almost 30 years!!

    10. Fuck you haters ! Everybody who has listend to this shit knows that akon aint the perfect fit for it, but it plays out .And the song is actually atleast 4.2 worth out of five. Video is dope, thats what i think ,yep dre looks old , but he also looks like he has been in the gym quite a lot lately , so for conclution id say that hes still dre and classi !

    11. maaaaan, fuck ya’ll hatin ass motha fuckas, You wanna hear dre old shit put his old shit on then. This is str8t C-A-L-I shit…kush is a big fuckin part of what we do out here, beat sounds str8t westcoast…boy dre puttin in on again. Two OG’s in tha game grown up for real though…..ya’ll outta staters dont EVEN know how it go every fuckin day out here.

    12. yall who saying dre is weak this is weak if yall can do better prove it if not shut the fuck up and let d.r.e. do his cali thang and its west till i die …half yall still promoting on myspace and soundclick make a million then talk

    13. like this song,video is coo. just find it funny that these old dudes are surrounded by people 15 yrs younger.haha. they seem outta place.

    14. I like the vid pretty good, I like the track too though i’m with everyone else on this Akon wasent the rite selection for the hook, as for people saying about they expected more from the beat I to a certain level agree BUT beats are sooooo weak at the minute that beats from 10 years ago that dre did still sound better than most shit out there today.

      1. Who do you think, nigga? There’s only one who can do it, but unfortunately not able to at this moment. Nate Dogg!

    15. i thought e40 n fifty meant to be in the video, where the hell they at dudes, i mean fo real!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????

    16. i like the concept of the video but they should of had more smoking because “kush” is the name of the song if im not mistaking! and could of been a lil’ more gangsta looked like snoop was trying to hold back alot lol still a hot video compare to the shitty videos they put out now a days!

    17. this is not what I want from Dre.
      NWA to akon FAAAAIIIIILLLLL, I WANT SOME HARD SHIT.
      chasing a club hit, which it probably will be, but id rether that new WC “That’s What I’m Talkin Bout”.
      GET BETTER NATE DOGG!!!!!

    19. cool video, could have used more smoke but i can dig it.
      is it just me or is that nate singing right around the 3 minute mark?
      unreleased material from him?!?

    20. An already used nate dogg hook would have been better than Akon’s. But if this somewhat commercial beat and video is what comes out first, then what will come out in a month or two will be so incredible that peeps ear will begin to bleed cuz they won’t be able to stop listening full volume. well, at least i hope that’s how it’ll go down….

    21. Would you NERDS shut up about Nate Dogg already! We know the story OK, fuckin’ geeks stay on rant mode.

      Half of you virgin mother fuckers don’t even smoke.

    22. I like the video, but Snoop was the only one smokin’. The song is pretty good, but since he waited for so long to release a single – people are going to expect something no less than amazing – and amazing it isn’t.

    23. Dr. Dre sucks… he can’t even write his own shit. Gucci Mane has been the game for 20 years and been killing these pussy niggaz for years. He went 100 times platnium in one day for his It’s Gucci Time single. No one can fuck with Gucci.

      It’s Gucci Time!

    24. Well I dunno what people think of as amazing anymore, but I mean this works. Its modern. Its what will sell and make it worth the Dr’s time to put out.

    25. They are lords of time and movement and when i look at the boy falling and Dre walking under him i think of the son that died and he couldn’t stop it. We can’t stop some events, but we are still watching.

    26. detox is gonna suck so bad……how you announce you have an album coming and wait like damn near 7yrs to put out such a wack-ass single

    27. I liked it. Westcoast sound and love that they put a bit of Nate Dogg in there. Can’t wait for Detox. I’m still bumpin 2001! I just wanna fuck you. No touchin or huggin girl you got a husband who loves you. Dont need your arm mine!

    28. i would give it a 5, but i wanted the rating to stay at 4.20 lol. i cant help but notice tho that everyone in this video are like half the age of dre n snoop… they gettin old, but still droppin some good music

    29. Dre just looks too old to be doing this kinda shit. nigga in a club in a snug leather jacket with people half his age. Not a good look, but hopefully it works for him.

      1. got love for THE GOOD DOC…but i have to agree with this comment. i watched 30 seconds of the video, and said to myself…”this doesn’t work!”!

        it’s going to be hard to market DRE. i’m interested, in seeing the cover artwork, for ‘DETOX’.

    30. 1) I think it’s interesting that, as of right now, it has an average 4.20 rating. Nice.

      2) It doesn’t deserve a 4.20 rating. It’s an uncreative song about bullshit. Thanks for making me wait for 10 years for it.

    31. Nice Single, I hope puts out a Forgot About Dre part II, cause that would be sick, but eminem would have to use his SSLP style again.

    32. Man, this is a song without substance. I think it would work better to just release Dre’s beats. I would rather hear the instrumental because Dre is a good producer, the lyrics are trash and AKon is garbage. NATE DOGG WHERE YOU AT ? Well he probably knew not to get on this and ruin his legacy. I don’t care about Detox anymore. BRING ON the next Eminem album…PEACE!

    33. WTF was this? I waited 10 years to see Dr Dre dresses as Terminator? OMG hip hop is not only dead, but full of zombies. Dr Dre looks like shit, nigga why you waxing your eye brows? Makes you look like a Transexual Terminator wanna be! FUCK DRE

    34. got mad repsect for dre!!! but real talk he needs to do grown man music ya heard like some soulful type shit.
      n the song is dope but the video should of been mre relaxed cuz its about kush…no one was even blazin in it lol

      1. snoop dogg was blazed, he was blazin most scenes he was in….

        compared to 2001 this would of bin the worst track on the album, its stil a sik track, the album will still be dope, but niggas need 2 realize that its not guna be anywer near as good as 2001…detox will be the 2nd best album of 2011, j. cole will have the classic album of 2011

        FACT…..r.e.d album 3rd

    35. who gives a fuck bout image n who real. we all know dre gna come with some bangin music, i bin tempted to hate and doubt like u young ass mutha fuckers but respect the music genius and appreciate havin time to listen to other producers, i.e. J Cole, DJ Premier

    36. 5 stars easy. Lol at you young pussies complaining about Dre’s age. Mad that he’s putting out better music than your favorite rappers like Soulja Boy and Bow Wow?! LOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    37. man dr dre aint the same , he tryna cater to the pop rap shit now , akon ? come on man . song is ok i guess , the rhymes is weak though . simple and the beat aint special either . 3 stars

    38. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz how fucking unoriginal can a master be. needs to pull his ass out of shitty marketing deals with shitty headphone and computer companies and get back in the studio. or just call it a day, he’s had an amazing career.

      1. How are those shitty marketing deals?? How about you back up your idiotic statements with some facts you stupid fuckstick.

    39. What the idiots beneath me don’t seem to understand is the new Dre album wasn’t going to be a life altering experience…….yeah it’s a song about weed but what does a nigga expect from the man? intellectual poetry…please stop it niggas……THE SONG IS A BANGER…..point blank, period.

    40. The real masterpiece is My Dark Twisted Fantasy. If you don’t know how dope and innovative that album really is, well I don’t give a fuck cuz it’s your loss.

    41. only thing i like bout this track is the beat n “still I am…Tighter than the pants on will.i.am. the video was aight but had a 2% relevance to the song. not to mention dre looked a damn fool in that leather jacket lol

    42. Dre and Snoop look like 2 faggots! Come man dre with his leather jacket and snoop with his riduclous hair. totally no image! it’s not 92 anymore. leave rap alone! you to old

    43. It’s funny how many people are writing that, ‘Dre should grow up and be on some grown man shit, enough with the weed talk’.

      Son…Dre’s ONLY albums are called The Chronic & The Chronic 2001. Dre is known for making that G-Funk weed music. I don’t wanna hear Dre on some grown man soulful shit.

    44. Replace Akon with Nate Dogg(get well soon homie) and this song is a banger. Still hot tho!
      Rating
      Song – 4/5
      Video – 3.5/5
      Snoop Bringing back the knocker hair ties – 5/5
      “Still I am, Tighter than the pants on Will.I.Am” – 5/5
      Dre’s leather piece – 0/5

    45. honestly… this shit is solid. its not amazing, but its solid.

      you have to realize that this is the first single for his cd. he has akon, because akon can make a good hook (and even though akon is in pop songs, akon can thug it out too). they woulda had nate dogg, but of course nate dogg has his health issues unfortunately.

      the beat is hot as shit, the lyrics are okay… but do you ever really listen to a dre/snoop song expecting out of this world lyrics? no… its shit to lay back to and enjoy.

      and if you like to smoke, which a shitload of people do… then roll up a fatty and bump this. and if you dont smoke, then you can still appreciate it and enjoy it just like you do to other snoop/dre records (i’m not saying this is as good as those by the way…)

    46. i hate how fans are so 2-faced…

      its either “come on… i hate how these artists change up their styles and dont rock it like how they used to”

      or its “man… ANOTHER song about weed… cant these guys do something different.”

      Dre makes lots of music, most of it is pretty top notch, and some of it.. a decent amount.. is about weed.

      i think that its dope that they update their music… but still can make a banging weed smokin song. cuz honestly… thats a bigass part of the reason why we love dre and snoop. i think listeners gotta realize thats what they do and thats what people enjoy and that doesnt mean they are just doing the same thing over and over

    47. 10 years wait for Detox!!!!!! I ask myself: how many time has dr dre and its crew uses to
      produce this Shit???????????!!!!!!!!!!!

    48. wow, not even a Dre fan but this shit is dope, the beat is banging and Snoop and Dre went in. Def looking forward to Detox

    49. Guys, this is merely a pleasent farewell to tha dayz of the chronic…

      Dre did not want this on the album. But instead of always scrapping leaked trakcs he decided to put it out as the 1st single since a lot of ppl thought it was hot.

      But he was ademant to stress that this is the only song of its type and sound ont ha album and doesnt reflect the rest of Detox in any way……

      So plz relax ur hatin asses and light one up for tha last ever Dre/Snoop chronic rendition.

    50. I dont know if anyone else noticed but dre didnt sound like dre…. he kind of sounded like bishop lamont… i may just be hearing things

    51. This shit is good, no question, they know what they doing…..

      all hilarious comments on this last page……..

      “commercial rap at its finest. 4/5.”

      “dope , classic vid, but I still don’t really believe detox is coming”

      “Dre’s leather piece – 0/5 “

    52. dre said he was gonna work out for the last five years just to get in shape for his last cd. maybe not the kind of promotion we need, but the track is crazy, to me it’s the detox track we’ve been waiting for. hiphopdx kids need to understand this isn’t kudi or lupe…it’s dre…you know the guy who made the last two “chronic” cds? forget the “dre needs to be deep” shit, a weed track is the perfect mix as the intro successor to his last two albums. the rest will come. now if dre could only get j. cole on this album somehow it would put give us all an ace for the album and 2011.

    53. Man, look at all the innovative thinking in this video! The expensive car, the money in the air floating, the girls, and leather jackets…

      I feel like I’ve been time warped into….uhmm.. 1999?

      Good song….

    54. the leather jacket from dre is so gay and then snoop looks like a girl. but anyway dre and snoop never had an image and have always look ridiculous

    55. mainstream rap died in the early noughties and became corporate garbage. now we have mainstream fans who love listening to shit like “love the way you lie” whilst real rap fans hate that shit.

      im glad to say that those gaybois wont be singing along to this, this ones for us guys so enjoy it!

      1. I don’t mean to burst your bubble but mainstream rap did not die in the nineties. In fact, the nineties gave birth to mainstream rap. Rap didn’t become popular until the nineties. On another note, this song right here is just as mainstream and commercial as anything else. When was the last time you turned on your radio, kid? You trying to come-off as a real hip-hop head but you are so clueless.

    56. damn we have a dude that has a hot ass song out and all we can do is pick it apart to find the most negative shit to say. what a bunch of jerks boss thug. i’m buying and i bet about 10,000,000 more are going to buy it. i bet this will be the album of the year

    57. i wish dre had kept the other song it was poppin too….dre come with it boss thug i’m gonna promote this shit! LOL

      1. Yo Ya’ll niggas is full of shit when it come to Hip Hop. How in the hell can you say that Dre should borrow??? Half the producers in the game borrowed from Dre. Guilty Conscience 2?? Do you even remember how that beat sounded like?? Like a Dr Dre beat…..

    58. When I first heard this song I was a little disappointed. Then later I started to feel it. But I’m back to thinking it’s a little boring and dated sounding. The video is definitely boring. It’s Crack A Bottle 2: Forgettable stuff.

      1. You Mean ‘Guilty Conscious 2’.. shits pretty played out.. 10 years for that & he decides for this to be his first single? And WTF is with the Jacket.. Think he borrowed the wrong item off Kanye.. should have borrowed a beat

      1. What!! Kanye is a student of Dr Dre!! There no way detox will sounds anything like Kanye shit. Who are these people posting these comments. Know your history or dont listen to music.

      1. Yeah but Dre is not NY hiphop He’s LA hip hop!! Totally different sound. Dre’s Rain in Rap back then is the reason why hes hot now

    59. it ok…. not what i expected! could be WAY BETTER. im SO TIRED of hip hop videos w/ parties! that was played out 15 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!! come on dre! this is SOPPOSE TO BE DETOX!!!!

      1. The hell you talking bout?? Thats exactly how detox is suppose to sound like. Smoking, partying and bullshitin. just like Back then.

    60. I think Dre and Snoop came official. IDK what was up with Snoop since The Last Meal. Maybe he promised Dre that he’d be on some weak shit until Dre started working on Detox, IDK but this is the best Snoop I’ve heard in awhile. I think the thing that hurts this song is Akon’s bitch voice. His voice doesn’t belong on a track like that (L.A. Thuggin type of beat) it better suited Nate Dogg. You put Nate on the hook and this is certified classic. I think it has some replay value depending on your mood.

      1. Nate isnt in a position to sing dumbass so who else would you go to?? Akon is internationally known so smart move by Dre. Game. Set. Match.
