Well, fine, if it falls off the charts, next week, I'm all for hearing these brilliant backseat P.R. marketing plans to reinvent Dr. Dre but right now, he's got the #4 single in the country so saying they need to scrap it all and try to sell him like he's in 20's or 30's again sounds absurd to me.
Noobcake: Like i said before, it's impossible to market a 46 year old rapper to today's record buying public (teenagers). Dre is the same age as their parents. It's just not gonna happen for him this time unless every song on Detox will contain 2 Eminem verses.
Who gives a fuck about florida. Dre releasing a song with david guetta aint gon do shit either.
Lmao Off at basin what dr dre needs over what's hot in Florida that's like saying gucci mane should start tailoring his music to what's hot in New York.

They play "Kush" speeded up in Miami then they mix it with another track so it sits on there for 2 min speeded up a few people move. There is a PR problem cause you're talkin about getting college girls 17-25 and guys 22-45 to buy the album and it's goin to be a rough road ahead if they can't reinvent him and he drops a song worth listening toWho gives a fuck about florida.

Jimmy that's one song that's not gonna sell an entire album. Pitbull & T-Pain got a dope track out gettin mad play but it's not gonna sell a platinum album. The expectation here is a platinum album not one song carried by Eminem that people will bootleg and not buy the whole album. Don't forget we've waited 12 years for this shit. This is hardly "Nuthin But A G Thang" or "Keep Their Heads Ringin."I can tell you I go to the biggest clubs in SouthBeach Mansion (Liv), O, Space, Set, Nikki Beach, Mynt Lounge, etc. they aren't playin that shit down here. They aren't feelin it. Like I said they play "kush" speeded up real quick how's that going to sell a million copies?
You don't put somebody's image on the cover of a magazine like that unless there is a level of confidence that that image is going to sell magazines.
Crooked I was never on a cover as a solo act. He was part of something bigger like Slaughterhouse signing to Shady or the new Death Row. Making a single like "Let Me Ride" is kind of like preaching to the converted in my opinion. Dre's fan base are buying this day it drops. And the ones that aren't going to buy certainly aren't going to be turned around by one song themselves. The audience you're talking abour are either a) going to blind buy it on opening day or b) wait for the early leak, download it, and make up their mind there. Investing marketing and promotion dollars to make these people aware of a product they haven't stopped asking about for 10 years is pointless.
