Remember in Heroes when loveable antihero Hiro Nakamura would stop time and move through a world frozen in time, with people mid-action and objects in mid-air? Joseph Kahn, director of Dr. Dre’s lead single from the long awaited Detox, has taken that idea and put created several of these scenes for Dre, Snoop and Akon to move around within. It’s cool that they’ve taken some initiative with this video and done something different, it’s a shame however that the settings they’re in are the standard hip-hop video nightclubs with bounties of babes, bottomless alcohol supplies and money being thrown around like confetti. Then again the song is about getting high so maybe hoping for something entirely original from the video was foolish.
You’ve also got to admire the shameless promotion for Dre’s headphones Beats by Dr. Dre and Ciroc Vodka.
Check out the video for “Kush” below.
