I mean, wasn't it? The Chronic album was shit, the only song that I kind of halfway liked was the intro and no one even rapped on that beat.  

Seriously though, it's hard to compare singles from an artist's albums, especially when they are years apart.

"Kush" in the charts (first week)

Hot 100
49 NE 01 Dr. Dre Featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon, Kush

Hot Digital Songs
36 NE Dr. Dre Featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon, Kush 45,000

Video + Interscope promo = potential HIT until the next single

Video + Interscope promo = potential HIT until the next single

I wonder who'll be on the next single?

If the album is coming out in February the next single will have to be big for the hype, so I reckon Interscope would go for a Eminem or Jay-Z feature. (Not saying that's what I want)

Shit, it might even be feat. Drake with Lady Gaga dropping a hot 16 plus the hook...

Yea I'm gonna have to guess Eminem... maybe even 50 and Em.  If not maybe Jay-Z.  Maybe a Forgot About Dre kinda sequel; something in the same vain as "I Need a Doctor."

For marketing, they definitely gotta pull out the big guns and the smartest/easiest choice would be Eminem.

cant help it.. I keep wonderin whats the next move.. shiiiit.. its DETOX!

the censored version right?

i have no doubt honestly, that RADIO programmers can boost a song all the way up to the #1 in the top 8 at 9pm now at all.

this song isn't radio friendly to all the jerky tight ass pants wearing people here in LA, where techno dominates and for it to just jump to #1 shows me the darker side of the world of RADIO.

The Machine can be bought, and indeed programmed, itself.

No shit huh... did you just realize this?  They deny it and if there is no cash involved, there are other "incentives.."

god! i thought it was ironi...
but if you think chronic was the shit, it is your opinion, i respect
and i don't agree... most of west coast fans agree with me i guess

god, we really finally heard someone said "chronic was shit"
now let me tell my guess... probably we will hear 2001 was the worst rap album ever..... EVER! (i didn't mean that btw)

"Kush" Gives Dr. Dre First Solo Chart Appearance Since 2000

The well-timed leak of his new single yields dividends as "Kush" sells 45,000 copies in two days.

On 2000’s “Forgot About Dre,” Dr. Dre rhymed, “Give me one more platinum plaque / and fuck Rap you can have it back.” And although it’s taken him over a decade, the legendary co-founding member of NWA is getting a headstart on that last plaque with his single “Kush.” The song has debuted at the number 48 spot on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 chart, which ranks the country’s most popular singles based on sales and radio airplay. While Dre was credited as a producer and co-writer on Eminem’s 2009 single, “Crack A Bottle,” the debut of “Kush” marks the first time a Dr. Dre single billed as a solo effort has appeared on the Billboard charts since “The Next Episode.”

After an unmastered version of the collaboration with Snoop Dogg, Akon and newcomer Sly hit blogs and other music sites, Aftermath quickly posted a mixed and mastered version to Dr. Dre’s official site and made the single available for purchase via iTunes on November 18. Despite being released mid-week, the single sold 45,000 copies.

Various reports have stated a video to “Kush” has already been shot, with veteran music video director Joseph Kahn at the helm. While Detox has been delayed by rumored unofficial leaks, Dre maintains his Hip Hop swan song will finally be released in February of 2011.
