What is "kush?"

I just read on the forums and some guy stated that he hates kush and kush anything. What makes kush a kush? How is the strain different from all the others? Why do all the rappers sing about it? Why don't people praise haze more? I notice so many people enjoy haze over ask that other shit... I grow and love doing it. But I never smoked weed in my entire life. Lol. I'm just curious.

Wikipedia says: Kush refers to a subset of strains of indica cannabis. The origins of Kush cannabis are from landrace plants mainly in Afghanistan and sometimes, Iran, Pakistan, and Northern India,[1] with the name coming from the Hindu Kush mountain range.[2] "Hindu Kush" strains of cannabis were brought to the United States in the mid to late 1970s and continue to be available there to the present day.[3]
Kush strains were among those cultivated by the British firm GW Pharmaceuticals for its legally licensed commercial trial of medicinal cannabis.[4]

Yeah kush is just a strain of weed. And as far as rappers talking about it......I think it's an "african american" thing. I can't tell you how many times I've been told "I gots dat kush" and it's really just brick weed. Lack of knowledge I guess. Yeah haze is great I think it's better than kush because I like the high it gives me.

In reality, kush strains are strains containing genetics which originated from the Hindu Kush region.

In idiot speak, as well as certain parts of the media, it simply refers to potent weed. In the UK, the media replace "kush" with "skunk", for the same effect.
