50's 'Get Up'. average lyrics but the beat was banging and catchy as hell - Storch & Dre is a sick combo. don't think the record was pushed very hard and had a crappy video. way better than 'Kush', I can imagine Dre rapping on this beat and it being infinitely better. potential for extra production as shown on the live clip with the guitars coming in and live set-up skip to 1:55...http://www.youtube.com/v/c9wAjSybpQA?
^But imagine how far that song could've gone if it was pushed right.http://www.youtube.com/v/CLklnMWl63k

That's a tremendously naive statement. it isn't naive at all. Its honest. Half the successful artists out are only successful because they got the right push by the right people. In terms of financial success, talent rarely has anything to do with it.

With the right push any song could be a hit.
That "right push" argument is stupid.Basically saying that anything they try to push as a major single will blow up. Meaning you're also saying there are hundreds of singles every year that labels, for some INSANE reason, don't want to properly push.Every time an artist drops a single, the goal of the label is to make it as BIG of a song as possible.Bottom line, going by your logic & understanding all singles are created with the intent to blow up; every single single should be the biggest song ever.Some things just don't catch on & the public doesn't like it. Hence why "Kush" will never be as big as a Lady Gaga or Eminem single; even though we all know Interscope is doing everything in it's possible power to make it as big.

In terms of financial success, talent rarely has anything to do with it. Yes, talent is not the deciding factor in most cases but popularity is popularity. Audiences are unpredictable so nothing is a guarantee. I don't buy into the "right push". Product can just as easily flop by being pushed too. I think there's a lot of people with a very naive approach to how music works. There's this conspiracy theory concept of some evil Jewish billionaire like Jimmy Iovine who can make any thing a hit or a trend by pushing some magic button and making it the "greatest thing in the world". There's no denying that there is a ridicilous amount of politics, deception, and favoritism in the entertainment industry but there is also music that just plain does not catch on, no matter how hard the label pushes. So sorry, I don't buy that "all it takes is the right push" theory. I'm not denying that having the record label in your corner can be a huge deal-maker but I'd say it's more about having the right gimmick/package in terms of marketing.
