Grammy 2011 Recap

My Favorite 10 11 Singles of 2010

In this musical day and age, the single has once again become the most important item to further an artist’s career. It started off as the single, in the 60s when bands were forced by their record companies to put out a new single every few weeks. Then we moved to the golden age of the album, where bands were allowed the creativity and given the time to properly craft entire musical theses, instead of mere thoughts. Then we moved to the music video, and now, in the age of the internet, mixtapes, and iTunes downloads – the single is the most powerful musical item once again.

While I prefer albums, I must admit that as a blogger, singles are my bread and butter. Leaked albums are few and far between these days, so single releases or leaks are what I’m able to hear, share, and write about the most. And so, I present to you my favorite 10 11 singles of 2010:

Dr. Dre – Kush Video

And in case you didn’t catch the track the other week…

Dr. Dre – Detox Leaks

So Dre has finally released the first track off the much-anticipated album Detox. He officially released Kush today on his site, and it seems to be the same as the version that was recently leaked. Additionally, a new song – I Need A Doctor – was leaked yesterday.

Check them both out below, or stream Kush on Dre’s site.
