Dr. Dre Operates On Chrysler In New Commercial
Sun Apr 24 2011 by Idolator Staff
Does Chrysler need medical attention? They seem to think so. Dr. Dre is following in his Grammy buddy Eminem's product-shilling footsteps by appearing in a new Chrysler commercial, just as Slim Shady did during the Super Bowl. But he's not just part of the advertising — the recent lawsuit winner has teamed up with the American auto maker to provide a 10-speaker in-car sound system called Beats By Dre. Hopefully the "My Prescription" rapper has better luck with cars this time around than in his "I Need A Doctor" video. Watch the ad below.

Wed Apr 20 2011 by Robbie Daw
The New York Times reports today that "I Need A Doctor" rap legend Dr. Dre, whose Detox is due out sometime before the End Days, has successfully sued the current owners of his former label Death Row Records over a royalty dispute. Dre parted ways with Death Row co-owner Suge Knight in 1996 when he left the label. Ten years later the record company slid into bankruptcy, and its assets were subsequently purchased by WIDEawake Entertainment Group in 2009. There was just one problem—WIDEawake didn't have the rights to sell Dre's classic debut LP The Chronic digitally.

Dr. Dre's Detox is still a ways away, being that there's still no official release date yet.

Eminem Looks Back On His Time With Dr. Dre In The Video For “I Need A Doctor”
Thu Feb 24 2011 by Becky Bain
The video for Dr. Dre's sweeping Alex Da Kid-produced track, "I Need A Doctor", kicks off with a pretty impressive car crash, where Dre's ride flips in the air multiple times before smashing down on the ground. And that's just the prologue of this morbidly fascinating clip. As Dre struggles to stay alive, Em visits his longtime friend in a dimly-lit steampunk hospital while Skylar's ghost sings the hook. It's haunting in every meaning of the word. Vid below.

Last week Lil' Kim was unleashing her venom for Nicki Minaj—with the cover of her Black Friday mixtape, the video for the tape's title song and in her interview with Rap-Up.com. However, the site has posted part two of its one-on-one with Kimmy Blanco, and in addition to news that she's collaborating with Dr. Dre, the diminutive rapstress is singing a much friendlier tune when it comes to other pop stars like Rihanna, Usher and Lady Gaga.
