lol yes....as bad and forgettable as they ALL were, I haven't forgotten the hilarious and lengthy rollout to the ultimate non release of 'Detox', starting with 'Under Pressure', and those ridiculous, over the top accompanying ads from Dr. Pepper, featuring Dre in yet another of his beloved Sci Fi get ups, then all the subsequent leaks, from 'Turn Me On', and a handful of other failed singles, leading to Kush, and then their ace in the hole, a love ballad between Dre and Em, with cinematic visuals of fallen hip hop heroes and a lovesick Dr Dre....Hilarious.

Lol that thirst for Under Pressure was real. It was Dre and Jay and everybody expected some classic shyt. I remember when it was supposed to leak and nothing was coming out. I even remember a Dre interview when he said I got it on the iPod in my pocket. :troll: Or was it Jimmy? Not sure but everybody was :to: after it was released.

Let's not forget this shyt:russ:



If Nate Dogg was alive you'd feel 100% percent different about this song….Guarantee it. It took me a minute to get it but this song was dope, just not the crazy banger you'd expect from Dre.

The low point for me was when he dropped that single with him and Eminem flirting with each other.

Lol the rollout is really what hurt the song. People anticipated the fukk outta this song. There was a thread on the hamster about the song hundreds of posts deep before it even dropped. People thought the next still dre was upon us. Then the song dropped and it was weird ass looped beat and awful YM punches

Under Pressure was garbage, but Kush is a banger to this day. The Recipe should've been a Dre single for Detox instead of a bonus track on GKMC. Topless & shyt Popped Off would've been classic Detox singles if they made videos and did a proper rollout. They dropped the damn ball :damn:
