Read off the Top 10 to me & I guarantee you Kush doesn't come close to sounding like any of those songs lol.

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.

still not that good considering that its his first buzz single over 10 years.  a song about Weed aint really the right way to come back

Keep their heads ringin was dre's last top ten song.  None of the 2001 singles did all that well.  Still D.R.E. peeked at 93.  Obviously didn't hurt that album's sales at all.

Dres records have never charted that well, but these days when there's so much emphasis on the top 10 it can't be a good look. Hopefully the single stays strong, last thing Detox needs is more push backs

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.

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.
