Video: Dr. Dre – “Kush” (feat. Snoop Dogg and Akon)
If you’re like me, you’ll be surprised by the topic of the new single by Dr. Dre. Just kidding. It’s Mary Jane. Ganja. Weed. Grass. Kush.
It’s the first official single from Dr. Dre’s new album, Detox. They put the video out on Friday, and by Sunday night, it already had almost 1.7 million views. [2,216,859 at time of publication -ed.] Eleven years after his last album, 2001, Dr. Dre is planning to release Detox in February. It’s been a long time coming, and the album has been hinted at for years. It’s finally here!
It’s a pretty cool video, too. Stop motion photography, lots of ladies, cash money, Snoop in braids and Dre looking older and wiser. In a tight fitting leather motorcycle jacket, no less.
The last time Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg appeared in a video together was for 2001‘s “The Next Episode.” See it after the jump. And check out Snoop’s doo!
Lots of ladies and cash money in this one, too. “It’s the one and only D-R-E!”
Looking forward to hearing Detox next year.
I heard Dre’s changing the title from Detox to Chinese Democracy.
Funny that you mention Chinese Democracy, Jake. I saw a bunch of similar references to the Guns n’ Roses record when I was looking for info on Kush.
Four days later, it’s got over 4.8 million views. I read that Dre spent some time in Detroit with Eminem working on/finishing up Detox. February!
