New Music: Dr. Dre Ft. Snoop Dogg x Akon “Kush”

Monday, November 15 2010 9:56 PM EST | Posted by: Amaya | Posted in: Blog, Music

Director Joseph Kahn recently spilled the beans that the video for this was coming. Sorry to say Doc, but if this is what we’ve been waiting 10 years for, let’s hope it gets better than this.

    Its great compared to the garbage out now.

    When Dre and Snoop record together, this is what I expect to get out of it.

    I’m sure the album will be good although it’ll never be good enough due to the long wait.

    Personally I’m glad to see Dre coming back. I’d much rather see Dre crawl to the stage on a walker with a Depends on then Watch anymore spoiled brats stand on there soap boxes, throw twitter Temper Tantrums and act like homos….

    3.5/5 for the track

  4. Donn says:

    Another song to inspire the youth huh??
    I expect more from a living legend, i expect weed songs from Wiz Khalifa. Lil Wayne and the new generation but not from Dre, i thought Dre would be on that year 3000 shit
    Not everybody in America smokes weed and shoots and kills ppl
    Make some music to change the world Dre, not another joint that won’t be hot 6 months from now. Amaya is right, you made fans wait this long, u shouldnt release nothing but CLASSICS. Not this….. Not everybody is hard and gangster. Make music EVERYBODY can relate to….

  5. Mr.west says:

    Dreams come true… It’s Detox bitches!!!! Y’all know when Dre drops the game stops, inhale exhale AND WE STILL SMOKING!!!!

    DRE ALL DAY!!

  6. Go_white_rapperz says:

    Definitely really good track but it’s not amazing
    Still though NEW DRE IS AWESOME

  7. Mitch 3K says:

    @ DONN

    See, thats the kind of thing I dont understand

    Dre makes Gangsta Rap, dont nobody wanna hear him preach, lol

    Other forms of music never treat artist like this

    “You know, I really wish Metallica would make a gospel record, enough of that anger, heal the world already guys”

    Nobody wants to hear that shit……..Leave the self righteous “Holier then Thou” stuff to the Kanye’s of the world

  8. ironic says:

    not wack, but not impressive…

  9. teejay says:

    I believe we can all agree, this is better than “Under Pressure”

  10. Haters are annoying--> Belize, Android the rick ross stan, Mac Weasel , the bitch boy cold blood, and lucass, says:

    i agree with amaya i hope it gets better but this is kinda dope to

  11. DR. Dre MuthafuckerS! says:

    @doo doo brown aka cock sucker just shut the fuck up! why are u bothering reading ppl’s comments! if u dont like it click to a gay porn site u dick!!!!!!!

  12. villain says:

    this is dope as

  13. steve says:

    Sounds good, it’s a cool collabo but I wouldn’t say it’s anything “groundbreaking” like Detox was hyped to be.

  14. Killa Shady says:

    Rap Radar is hella Late!
    this was up hours ago…

    and this was better than Under pressure, and those other lame pop & techno bullshiiiiiit!!!!
    as long as detox stays like this, and no worse. I’m happy :)

  15. @ Mitch 3K says:

    Cosign to that!!!!!! DR. DRE IS WESTCOAST BEAT MAKER! U all forgot that he was from N.W.A.!!!!! GANGSTA RAP!! not pussy mainstream pop!!!

  16. K GRIZZLY says:

    its okay but i thought the first single was gonna be some west coast good old funk a splash california love mix with a side of still dre

  17. Ac@pella! says:

    This was wack as hell.

  18. Donn says:

    @Mitch 3k
    No one wants to hear about positivity and peace? lmao
    That’sexactly the problem with our generation, Y’all get on this site all the time talking about rappers don’t talk about nothing no more, what is Dre saying in this song besides the same thing as all the other rappers. This is Dr.Dre, a powerful veteran. Like I expect big music, something that will stop the internet. Like c’mon, leave that preaching shit to the Kanye’s of the world???
    These artist have a responsibility to culture, to music to take it to the next level and challenge what music is and can be. C’mon Dre, give me something GREAT, not good…push and challenge hiphop….

  19. doo doo brown says:

    at DR. Dre MuthafuckerS!;;;;;;;; see i haven’t even profanaties or insulted u but the truth came out so easily

    Jimmy Ivine must be proud of you and he will hand you a cookie and a signed copy of the latest soulja boy album.

  20. Hip Hop Fan says:

    The beat is crazy! DR.DRE>everyone else. Plus Dre & Snoop together again. OOooo Weeee Legendary.

  21. Mitch 3K says:

    @ DON

    I grew up in the 90′s man, I remember a time when rappers didnt have sticks up there asses and made entertaining music

    My problem with this generations music is that its either too stupid or too soft

    I dont wanna be told to take my vitamins and go to church from a rap record, anymore then I want Walt disney G Rated horror film…….

    I’m 26, grew up on the 2pac’s, Wu Tangs, Mobb Deeps……….and the Dr. Dre’s. Guys who went as hard as they could and made classic material because of it. Once it started blowing up, then here come people like you with the Sally Struthers routine

    “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN…………THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!”

    Maybe your right, who knows, all I know is that Preachy rap = No listen from Mitch

    My 2 cents on it, no offense

  22. Donn says:

    @Mitch 3K
    Naw, i respect the preference, its just not everybody is gangster and from the hood, guys always want to act like they don’t have emotions, like i think HipHop just needs balance, have the hard stuff for the dudes who want to hide their emotions under hardcore beats and and gangster lyrics and have music for the ppl who thnk about ppl starving, ppl in France, ppl who go to Ivy League schools, who go to ballet and art exhibits and are into art. Just a balance is all i ask. After hearing Kanye’s album i wish every rapper would just put that soul and challenge in their music
    Like Snoop didn’t go hard on this, Dre didn’t go hard on this, its simple for almost a decade of waiting for Dre music. I want to see HipHop push culture to the next level.

  23. Bangers N Mash says:

    This is fucking fire. Take notes rappers.

  26. Stellanator says:

    does anyone have the mp3 without tags for this?
    this shit is dope.

  27. Mitch 3K says:

    @ DONN

    Yeah, its not groundbreaking at all, but with Snoop and Dre you pretty much know what your getting out of the content, hasnt really changed since The Chronic. And for what they do, there still good at it.

    Content Wise, I expect Dre to do what Dre has always done. I’m more intrested to see what the album sounds like sonically. Dre’s albums were always about the beats more anyway when you break it down………. This beat works for what it is, tomorrow morning I’ll drive to work with it and give it the official road test………. But Dre’s albums have always been way deeper then the single. Nuthing but a G thang and Stil DRE are far from the best songs on his albums

  28. MJB says:

    Amaya trippin. Loved it myself! I just hope the meme isn’t already set that any new Dre sh*t won’t be good.

    I am one happy f*ckin hip-hop head these days. My cup runneth ova!!! I blame Kanye. Thanks wit your ole dramatic ass. LOL

  29. Donn says:

    @Mitch
    Yea i feel you, don’t get me wrong, i downloaded this joint and will bump it next to all my other stuff, just wanna see something bigger than this, but u right, it works for what it is
    Nice to have a constructive convo without name calling and shit lol. Respect…

  30. mac DIESEL says:

    WHY THE FUCK IS AKON ON THIS??? ANYWAY, IT’S AIIGHT BUT THIS CAN’T BE THE FIRST SINGLE OFF THE ALBUM!!!! IT GOTTA BE MORE EPIC THAN THIS!!!! ESPECIALLY AFTER U MAKE NIGGAS WAIT FOR 10 YEARS!!!! FUCK YOU DRE!!!! GET BACK TO WORK NIGGA!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  31. MJB says:

    Good wrap-up @ Mitch 3k.

    The reason why I’m so fulfilled right now is because I can get this and much more these days. Dudes are scrambling to put out music…picking days of the week to bless us and sh*t. Jay Elect, Hov, Pusha, ‘Ye, Weezy, Bun, Cole,Minaj, Wiz, Drake etc, etc…Regions be damned too!

    I’ll be McDonalds cause I’m lovin it. *kanye shrug*

  32. Mo Haze says:

    Its like some people prefer lil wayne to do that a millie a millie bullshit. Fuck ya’ll haters this is Nice!!!! Never doubt the doctor. He’s the only one that has that west coast recipe. We need this Nigga in the game.

  33. BongressS says:

    this shit is fucking tough. where the fuck the hate coming from?

  34. CRUCIAL says:

    ITS KINDA DOPE. I CANT SAY IT DIDNT MAKE ME BOUNCE. NEEDS NATE DOGG ON IT THO.

  35. TheRealShifty says:

    This is fucking amazing! Who the fuck is y’all to say this isn’t good???

  36. ohchetson! says:

    If your hating on this, you’ll never be satisfied with DETOX no matter how dope it is. The production on this shit is so dope. Idiots are going to hate just to hate.

  37. Music says:

    This the same beat that was used in the Lebron and Dre commercial.

  38. alex says:

    NATE DOGG HAD A STROKE WAITING FOR DRE THEN HE HEARD THIS BEAT AND SMOKED SOME OF SNOOPS WEED AND MADE THIS CLASSIC!

  39. EMINEM FT ROYCE LIVING PROOF NEW 2010 says:

  40. BBoggz says:

    SNOOP WAS NICEEE.

  41. ripper says:

    Okay…I guess it is okay not the greatest. It will probably have to grow on me. Snoop verse is pure flames ( no waka) though. I really think he waited too long to drop some shit. I am from Los Angeles so it is okay. Shit will get soem type of bumpage in my rides.

  42. franklyn says:

    Negative comments on this are truly irrelevant, this track is exactly what true chronic,dre fans can espect. and he switched it up 2012 style! i’m fucking with this heavy, even with akon on it..:-) Nate dogg doing the singing would make it a classic.

  43. HAHAHAHA says:

    NO…NO…NO…NOT yet Dre, that stil ain’t good enough. If thats the shit he been hiding in his studio, I understand why he not dropping his album yet. Most awaited phenomenon of the world

    1-Detox
    2-Return of Christ
    3-End of racism
    4-Shooting Justin Bieber if he tries to do the doogie one more time

  44. Truth says:

  49. alex says:

    i hate it when people say “OH 10 YEARS IT SHOULD BE BETTER” like they know its hot but like they are waiting for the music to be 10 years better the chronic 2001 when the album of the year wont be better then chronic 2001.. what are you saying, guy waited so he made sure what you heard was nothing below what you expect the feeling to be when you first here one of those classic dre joints…so what you really saying? he shoulda came out 5 years ago with some whack shit????
