think that would be the best way for me to sum up why i'm not really down with this joint as much as some. buzz single or not, it just doesn't have the level of class i'd generally associate with a dre production. not the sound exactly...more the kind of sheen and polish to it. very surprising for his own single given how meticulous dude is. someone else made a thread about his beats from the core g-unit era...all those tracks shit on this one. its just nowhere near that level of quality. i highly doubt i'd ever want to play it far off the future. so after all these beats and ideas that would have been saved this project...this is really one of the best 15/20? don't get me wrong it knocks and everything in its own way, but seems kind of watered down compared to a lot of his previous production. again not strictly to do with the sound, more the execution of the track with like the corny 1, 1, 1 shouts and all the heeeys and hooos. a bit crowded and messy. plus dre's drunk/angry sounding flow doesn't help. akon is a personal thing but i find his wailing annoying, always have. 'holla at my niggie'.i'm still confident detox will have some super crazy ish, but this track seems like a really unusual way to get the ball rolling. very lacklustre and dissapointing. dre would have been better off canning this track altogether. 0/1 so far. you'd of expected the set-up for this album to be absolutely perfect, promo singles and all.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=anticipointmenti don't want to hear excuses or justifications just if anyone thinks this track is something special or meets their expectations for the whole detox aura and why. or just flame me for having 'ridiculous' standards, 'reading into it too much' or not understanding what a buzz single is supposed to be if the next thing to drop off the project isn't absolutely insane...
You have zero credibility in this thread, your user name is detox is a myth lol
I give the song a 9/10 based on my own personal expectation of Dr. Dre. And compared to EVERY OTHER hip hop song I've heard in the last 5 years, I'd give it a 10/10.
Fact is 1) Detox is a myth until Dre releases an album called Detox

I like it how Detox is a myth but there was 11 years between Toy Story 2 and 3. No one said Pixar fell off
Honestly I'd just rather hear Dr. Dre rap about smokin' weed, sendin' niggaz 2 kill people 4 short money, encouraging me 2 get drunk, DEATH ROW RECORDS, some politics, raps about hoes, and being able to literally shit and wipe his ass clean with fresh money. Standard Dr. Dre shit but on some 2012 shit. Darker beats, none of that "drink the kool aid" shit, real classy gangsta music like that Bugatti Boyz shit but mixed with that "OG 2 BG" shit, and ghetto ass sine wave synths mixed with some mexican stratocasters and harder sounding 808's than a Gucci Mane drum pattern but without tha Three 6 Mafia hi hats. as far as "Kush" goes, I'm sure i'll forget about when I get the rest of tha album. The version with Game on it sounds better tho.
Dre created this "myth & monster" called Detox all by himself. He has continued to hype an album for over a decade knowing fans were anxiously waiting to hear the final product. Only God & Dre know how many variations of the album & tracks that were created to land a spot on this. I'm not sure if Dre intended to be the Geroge Lucas of rap, but he sure is now. Most people's expectations grew the longer he waited to put this out. To the point where now NOTHING he releases will be able to please everyone. That's what happens when you promote some mysterious project for so long. Just my three cents
