Kush not gettin the push on charts
« on: January 08, 2011, 11:03:35 PM »
Howcome Dr. Dre's "Kush" is not doing very good on the charts?  "Kush" currently sits at #58 on the charts now this would be good for your average artist but for Dr. Dre this thing should be at least in the top 30 at worst.  "Ashton Martin Music" (Rick Ross/Drake) and "Deuces" (Chris Brown/Kanye/Drake) are sitting above "Kush."  I was out in Hollywood and they play the track at the club and everyone gets down but back in Florida nobody is really even listening to the track and it gets an occasional first verse spin in Miami.  E-40 & Too Short get more spins with "Biiiatch" than "Kush" gets in Florida.  So what's going on here is the track going to catch fire eventually and it just takes longer or is Dre going to try another single (or worse yet the album gets pushed back AGAIN).  In the day and age of bootlegging, the West Coast alone is not enough to push the album up the charts.  Now rap as a whole is struggling but for all the promotion (the HP Commercials, Mafia Wars Dr. Dre promotion, the track with Jay-Z, etc.)  Maybe Interscope is losing its ability to push artists also as they couldn't push Busta Rhymez but this is a shocker to see "Kush" sitting stagnant and struggling for airplay in the South.

He needs another single before the album drops, it'll cross promote and give hope that this album is actually coming out soon. No one cares about a single for an album without a release date.

If Interscope really wants a track to be in the top ten, it'll happen. This all just makes the fact that it "wasn't supposed to leak" more believable. You would think Interscope would gear up and put their 100% effort into their most hyped album of all time. . . which leads me to believe Kush was either never meant to come out and it was a forced rush job, or they have completely different plans.

"Kush" is just a warm up single and is doing pretty damn well, I hear it on the radio at least a few times a week and I don't even listen to the radio like that... and not to mention people I know are actually talking about the song and not cuz of me bumping it around them, so that proves it's doing what it's supposed to in terms of creating a buzz obviously

also, what "weed" track has even gotten a pass on radio/TV like this in recent years? the content is another factor

Hes right....Usually drug related songs dont get much of a push on radio, the only reason its so heavy in rotation is cause of the hype around Detox. Not to mention its a good track. Look the song peaked I think in the mid 30s on the billboard charts.....For a street single that came out of nowhere, that is good. The song is serving its purpose, Dre took the negative buzz on his album and switched it up. Now everyone that was thinking the album wont come knows its actually gonna drop....So the hype is now positive....Very soon your going to get the single that Dre actually wants you to hear....Thats when your really gonna hyped up for the album and thats when it will get a release date.

It's not that good
Cool breeze; I'm hopping out of new Beams
My outfit ran me a few G's but none of that will matter if you leave
I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
Recline, in the mean time, twenty three shine, diamond bling blind as I rewind

I wonder who will be featured on it, i have a feeling that it ain't gonna be a solo song.
