Day 76: Hold up, Wait a minute, Let me put some "Kush" up in it (Music Video)

Dr. Dre - Kush featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon

- Alt Audio Link Link removed =(

Ever since this new song came out by Dr. Dre, I've been bumping it non-stop as it's really catchy, has such a dope piano beat, and the name of the track is awesome ("Kush", need I say more?). It's still a bit unreal to hear Dr. Dre rapping since he was on hiatus for so many years, but it's looking like "Detox" is finally becoming a reality and will be coming out very soon (c'mon, it's on wikipedia!).

One thing I noticed: This music video featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon was shot in Downtown LA, and I recognize the venue they shot the end part where Dre is walking down the stairs & the slow-mo part when he's walking through a corridor with Snoop. It was shot at a club/lounge called "Exchange" which is a pretty nice place to party at. For those who have been there before, you'll recognize where I'm talking about.

Overall, this is a pretty cool music video as they use the 3D still-motion filming (or whatever it's called) but they add their own variation by having Dre, Snoop, and Akon being the only people moving while everything is still. I'm seeing this 3D still-motion filming being used more & more in movies (Ex. The Other Guys) and music videos (Ex. Rap Song by T-Pain), which is kind of cool seeing how technology & filming are advancing.

Day 60: Is Dr. Dre really coming out with the "Detox" album? **REPOST

Photobucket
- Saw it here first: AshleyOutrageous.com

So, just recently there has been a buzz again about Dr. Dre giving people the notion that he will be releasing his so called "Detox" album that has been "in the making" for several years now. This album has been an on & off project that sort of faded away for a long time, but news about it is finally emerging again.

I just found this new XXL Magazine cover (above) for the December/January 2011 issue, so we will finally get a scoop on what the deal is with this "Detox" album that's supposed to top all of his older albums. Sources say this album will be set to be released in Q1 of 2011, but I'll believe it when I see it! More info about this can be found at: xxlmag.com.

On that note, here are two tracks that just recently leaked from the his"Detox" album. The first one features Akon & Snoop Dogg and the beat is fire (the way Dre uses the piano is siiik). The second features Eminem and sounds aiite (Em's verses are pretty deep though).

Dr. Dre - Kush featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon [**REMOVED]

Eminem - I Need A Doctor featuring Dr. Dre & Liz Rodrigues [**REMOVED]

FYI, these probably aren't the final versions of the songs as I'm sure Dre's gonna make some finishing touches to them. With that, should we believe "Detox" is actually coming?

----------------------- **REPOST:

Sorry everyone, but this post was taken down earlier because of the audio links (so lame). Well to make up for the loss of music (which I'm sure you can find elsewhere), here's a behind the scene look of the making of Dr. Dre's music video for the new song "Kush" featuring Akon & Snoop Dogg [Not suitable for everyone]:


- The music video was shot this past weekend in Downtown LA (Location: Unknown) with appearances from 50 Cent, E-40, and more

I'm pretty sure Dr. Dre is finally serious about releasing the "Detox" album, so we'll have to wait and see what else comes out in the next month or so.
