This cut featuring rapper Snoop Dogg and R&B singer Akon was leaked onto the internet on November 16, 2010. The song was Dr. Dre's first solo single in nine years, his previous release being "Bad Intentions" in November 2001.
The song's subject matter is smoking marijuana. "Now that puff puff pass sh-t" declares Dre before Akon sings the chorus and Snoop Dogg spits in his verse, "Kush 'til my mind gone."
Dre reluctantly agreed to release this as a single after it leaked into the internet. He told American radio host Big Boy that he was unhappy about the release of the song as it hadn't completed it and he didn't think the track was a fair reflection of the album as a whole. Said Dre: "It's a little bit unfortunate with the technology today. (Kush) got leaked and it was a version of it that I really wasn't happy about, (but) we're going to go ahead and push it and put it out because everybody seems to like it I just thought the content, it's about weed smoking, and I don't want people to think that that's what my album is about. This is actually the only song with that type of content."
