I don't live for the man, but I do study him so I can hope my pimp hands one day become as strong as his. When i first started listening to him, my hands were only strong enough to crush a beetle. Now that i've studied him for 15 years, my hands are strong enough to crush a dog.
Whether or not "I Need A Doctor" is a proper choice for a second single, if its a hot record, if its a hit record and if it really is all about numbers, it's all secondary right now. In today's record business, it's hard to judge an album's direction based on its singles. One song won't make a huge difference in the long run, I think the important thing is the album finally looks like it's dropping in the near future. The better this song does right now and the more people accept it and react to it, the quicker we get the album everyone's been waiting to hear. I was never thrilled with the idea of "I Need A Doctor" being a Detox track but chances are like "Kush", it's not reflective of the album's direction or content. At least, I hope it isn't. Keep in mind that we still haven't heard an official Dr. Dre production from the album, we just have 2 non-Dre produced joints to go off of right now. It's more of a political issue than anything else at this point, if the label gets the reaction they're looking for, it's only a matter of time.
but it's sad that numbers are such a big motivator for dre
+1, totally agree
