Music Video Pick of the Week

Dr. Dre - Kush ft. Snoop Dogg, Akon



After a near decade wait, Dr. Dre treats fans to a new music 'Kush,' the first single off his long-awaited 'Detox' album.  After years spent perfecting 'Detox,' Dr. Dre plans to release his third album this February.

In this music video, motion is limited to Dre, Snoop and Akon while private jets, pimped out rides and video vixens are all put on freeze frame. This effect is created by combining CGI effects, wax figures, real people and wrap motion photography. All of these effects are used in such a blended fashion, it's hard to tell what's real and what's fake.

This is my pick of the week not only because it looks cool, but because it's affective in telling the story of these 3 bigger than life rappers. They want to show who they are, how they party and a glimpse of what a true baller is. This video also does a great job at showing a new Dr Dre. He's mature, distinguish yet still a true O.G. Overall a great comeback video from this sleeping giant.
