So, instead of one best music video of 2011, we've arrived at nine! See which videos really made a mark on 2011 below. More »
Dr. Dre Taking Break From Music, So Much For ‘Detox’
Tue Nov 15 2011 by Becky Bain
Just when we thought Dr. Dre's Detox — an album that has been almost a decade in the making — may actually see the light of day, the hip-hop mogul has revealed that he's going on hiatus. "I’m gonna just wrap it up for a minute because I’ve been working on music for 27 years now and the longest I’ve ever been out of the studio in 27 years has been two weeks," Dre told FADER TV outside the launch of his Beats By Dre store in SoHo. "I'm gonna take a little bit of a break." Watch the interview below. More »

Wed Aug 10 2011 by Robbie Daw
While you're poring over the reviews of Jay-Z and Kanye West's newly-released LP Watch The Throne — and, you know, actually listening to the album — consider this: Jay actually is on the throne, according to Forbes. The 41-year-old Brooklyn MC has topped the mag's annual Cash Kings list of hip hop's top earners, with $37 million in the bank, for a staggering fourth time in five years. Just behind Hova is Diddy and Kanye, while "Super Bass" diva Nicki Minaj is the only female to make the list of kings. Peek at rap's biggest bank-makers below.

Dr. Dre, Diddy, And Drake Do The 2011 ASCAP Awards
Sat Jun 25 2011 by Idolator Staff
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers honored extraordinary lover Diddy with their Founding Fathers award, and on hand to introduce the Dirty Money-less "Looking For Love" rapper was last year's recipient, the one and only Chrysler-shilling Dr. Dre. The actor/producer/person-we-aspire-to-be-when-waking-up claimed "music runs the world" in his speech (though Beyonce might beg to differ) before citing Dre as his favorite producer. Aww! In other news, Drake nixed the teleprompter in favor of speaking "from the heart" in his kudos to Boi-1da and Noah "40" Shebib as Songwriters of the Year. Catch both speeches below.

Dr. Dre Gets Behind The Wheel In His Chrysler Commercial
Fri Jun 3 2011 by Robbie Daw
When we saw a rough version of Dr. Dre's Chrysler commercial back in April, it was via someone filming a screen showing the ad, and it had an instrumental riff of "I Need A Doctor" playing in the background. Now the final cut of the hip hop medic's auto endorsement has finally been unveiled, and his recent hit single has been swapped out with an all new track. Take a ride with Dre below.

Eminem And Dr. Dre “Die Hard” With A Vengeance In Their New Single
Sat May 7 2011 by Idolator Staff
It's one of the most eagerly-anticipated matches of the year — no, not the Pacquiao vs. "Sugar" Shane Mosley title fight, but Eminem and Dr. Dre re-teaming for Detox. Breaking from the medical theme of their first two tracks, "My Prescription" and "I Need A Doctor," the Chrysler-plugging duo sound like they're beyond the help of pills and physicians on the new track "Die Hard," which premiered last night (as promised) on Showtime's Fight Camp 360° (promoting tonight's Pacquiao vs. Mosley sparring). Do the "Hell"-bound rapper and his litigious buddy deliver the explosive TKO we'd expect from a single called "Die Hard"? Check out the track's debut below.

Mon May 2 2011 by Robbie Daw
Beats By Dre innovator Dr. Dre promises on “I Need A Doctor” that he's packing up his bags after "one more CD" — one would assume the eternally-unreleased Detox — but ahead of the iconic rapper/producer's exit from the world of hip hop, there is, of course, more music to be heard off said final disc. And, surprise — this coming Friday (May 6) will bring the third single off Detox, the Eminem collab "Die Hard."
