Don't forget the teeny bopper crossover audience can = massive sales.This is 2010, some people out there never heard of Dre as an artist or plain forgot bout him lol.Dre said it was a leak, he was playing it safe. Drop a crossover track first, get some airplay.Get massive sales too for a leaked track that was never meant for release. How often does that happen?
Quote from: Matty on December 04, 2010, 01:24:59 PMbut this is still a weak crossover track for dre.Hardly a weak track. I don't like rating shit on forums as cats all have different ideas on whats hot - it's an 8.5/10 for me though.
but this is still a weak crossover track for dre.
Jeez Matty, you're really trying to get your point across aren't you. Was another new thread about it really necessary ?Kush is dope. I don't know what your problem with Dre's verse is, that's a classic "I'm the shit" Dre verse. If I'm not mistaken you and I both agreed when the Power Beats add was playing that this beat was slapping (before knowing this would turn out to be Kush). He is playing it safe though, especially when the more experimental, techno influenced Under Pressure got terrible feedback across the board. Kush is like a safe westcoast version of your typical Dre influenced piano, lowrider beat with a little bit of 2010 twist to it. And it's getting positive feedback, that's all that matters to him at the end of the day, hence shooting the vid and everything.
i think Dre is not sure about the direction of his single, if you look at the creation of Under pressure for example.by the way, Matty, you forgot to attach this song:http://www.youtube.com/v/zG0ATtt_-d0?fs=1
And lol at saying Under Pressure is better. Dre sounded so awkward on that joint. Looks like you're having that classic internet message board mentality where everything that's either underground, unfinished, released criticized and forgotten but then after a while better than the official shit... basically everything is better than the official version. Basically if the situation as reversed (Kush being the flop single and Under Pressure being the official one), people would make threads how finished Kush track would sound better than Under Pressure. People over analyze things too much nowadays.
wait for the amount of threads when detox actually drops!
i see where you're coming from. compared to some of the tracks coming out in the early 00s, it's definitely inferior.but, like some people have said, it's bumpable. hopefully the next song to come will be something epic

People over analyze things too much nowadays.Under Pressure may have been better in a finished form. Just speculating, but i think so. Neither are really what I'd like to hear. And this 'internet message board mentality' is just me being personal with the opinions and putting it out there. I thought you might give me a little more credit than the average message board hypocrite
^^^ I think that's the key homie, too much expectation. It looks like Dre was going to try and go in a different direction ala Under pressure, I Dominate, but the feedback from Under Pressure killed that shit dead, so now he's trying to play it safe and update his classic Westcoast sound. I love the track, but I think Detox is going to dissapoint a lot of people, the anticipation is so high that if it doesn't instantly give your ears an orgasm it will be viewed as a failure. I'm just enjoying the music, and for me Kush bumps. Like someone said though, 2 Game verses and a Snoop verse and would of been the perfect set up for RED
