they play it all the time on the radio here in NYC

They do, but only on Power 105 & Hot 97.

If you have a number one single, you're on those two PLUS Z100 & 92.3; maybe even 102.7 lol.

Since when did 92.3 start spinning hip hop. has it changed since 2003? z100 doesnt count either

Nah, I agree with you. Lil Wayne is a fucking disgrace to hip-hop.
I seriously never understood why people think he's good.
6'7" is terrible if you ask me, the definition of wack, I don't even wanna talk about it anymore ;)

92.3 used to be Rock, but now they are like a duplicate of z100; they just play the most poppin' songs.

& all I'm saying is, the "top" singles; Not Afraid, Love The Way You Lie, Aston Martin Music, Over; are played on all four of the stations.

That's a major reason why those songs I mentioned got in the Top 10, because of that exposure. Kush, is just played on two of those & no racist (I'm white), but the average white family doesn't bump Hot97 & Power105, so those kids aren't getting around to hearing songs like Kush.

In this day and age, YES it is flopping. No matter what you try to justify it with.

6 Foot, 7 Foot has all the energy and charisma that Kush lacks.   Granted the video makes up for the charisma but that alone does not help the song.

I don't live there, but if those are top 40 stations I'm sure Dre fans don't want him making the type of songs that will get play there.

^I'm sure they don't.

But without making a song friendly to all those stations, you're not going to have a Top 10, let alone a #1 single.

So considering Dre is stuck only getting play on Hip Hop stations, is this really that bad?

Think of all the people who sell; Eminem, Drake, Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne & Kanye. All had singles (except maybe Kanye) that got play on every station.

Who cares if he has a number one single? Has he ever had a number 1 single? I'm more concerned about the quality of the album.

Who gives a shit if the song is only 34 on the charts?  Dre has never made an album with radio hits.  The closest thing Dre ever made to a radio single was "Next Episode".  Would you suggest he start making songs like the Black Eyed Peas and be number one on the radio?

FUCK THAT!

well seeing this was a track to supposedly please the 'office people' and the predictable sound of it, they may as well release a real real detox cut next. i really hope the album will not be full of any/many tracks like this, should certainly be some better and fresher sounds on offer. it's whether the whole album has a really cohesive play through experience or its just like 12 tracks and half being not that great (eg kush, i need a doctor). the best thing about chronic/2001 is the cohesiveness.

I am not in Europe you fuck face.  And just because you heard a Dre song on the radio does not make it a  hit.  And like I previously stated Dre doesn't make radio hits on his albums, so fuck chart positions.
