The Major League Baseball season started Easter Sunday, April 4 in Boston, Massachusetts. As the hometown Red Sox ultimately came back to defeat the New York Yankees in a 9-7 shootout, Hip Hop fans may be interested to know in who took batting practice besides Derek Jeter and David Ortiz. One of Rap’s icons, Dr. Dre, joined Interscope President Jimmy Iovine at historic Fenway Park to endorse their Beats By Dre headphones.
Fox’s New England Sports Network spoke to Dre and Jimmy, both wearing Red Sox uniforms – and Beats By Dre headphones. “I was cool right up until I walked on the field. Now it’s a little intimidating,” said the Aftermath Records founder, noting some nervousness. Sporting the unform number 808 (after the historic Roland drum machine), Dre admitted that while he’s long been known to wear team caps, he’s only a novice baseball fan. “I played a little bit when I was a kid,” said the Compton, California star producer and rapper.
Iovine, a Brooklyn native, said that he was not uncomfortable wearing Red Sox colors despite his city’s bitter sports rivalry between the Yankee pinstripes and the team where Babe Ruth began his American League career. “If you were from Brooklyn, you were a [New York] Mets fan, a [New York] Jets fan, or drank Pepsi. Those were the three rules,” said the man who helped launch the imprints of Death Row, Aftermath, G-Unit and Shady Records throughout the last 20 years. Both record executives stated they rooted for Boston.
The big news came when correspondent Heidi Watney Jason asked the duo what their ideal at-bat anthem would be. “The new song [Dr.] Dre has in his pocket – called ‘Under Pressure.’ It’s a brand new single by Dr. Dre [featuring] Jay-Z. That’s the song I’d use,” said Iovine giving details to last week’s confirmed rumor of a Dre/Jay Detox collaboration. Dre concurred, “Absolutely. That’s be it. ‘Under Pressure’ – it’s so fitting.” Lastly, Dre said if he had to choose, he’d like Ortiz to use that as his at-bat anthem, pulling from the two lineups.
Dr. Dre and Jay-Z have previously worked on Volume 3: Life & Times of Shawn Carter and Kingdom Come. Jay-Z also famously penned Dr. Dre’s 1999 smash single “Still Dre.”
tight, now we just need to know when its gonna drop, we need some release dates and singles in this bitch, Detox and Relapse 2.
100% agreed.
faSHO faSHO faSHOOOOOOO
Jay-Z on a Dr.Dre album? Shit I’m so down. He wrote STILL DRE, he might as well go on WAX with the dude. God I’m so pumped, this is EXACTLY what rap needs right now.
The last album I TRULY played from start to finish was 2001. Real Talk
What kind of reporting is this? Redsox won , we didn’t lose.
Get your facts straight.

Damn can’t wait for that song to come out, hopefully it’s out by tuesday. “Under Pressure” sounds like it will be a legit song, not some bs like lemonade.
How do I say this without being an ass….
PUT THAT SHIT OUT. It’s seriously been years… YEARS DAMNIT.

Carrying gems in his pocket. How selfish.

Hi I’m Ceazar and I comment on my own shit. Split-personality getting to ya?
I’m gonna love it when this album outsells every other fuckin album in the world!! yeeaah!
Detox is commin out sometime this year.. talk shit all you want, but the giant Interscope promotional machine is startin up.. they leaked rumors of the single with jay just to see what kinda buzz it got (off the charts.. hate all you want, dre has the music world buzzin over a SINGLE!!!!!!!!) ive been talkin shit sayin dre needs to hurry up and drop an album, but fact of the matter, when he drops it, everyones coppin that shit.. in a store, itunes, or “illegal download” yall coppin it.. dont lie to yourself… ive stopped lying to me…..
dre is lining himself up with game, jay-z, who’s next? rick ross? fifty is dead.. dead i tell you.. facts are facts, jay hot right now, so that’s the direction dre goin’ in.. the MONEY
Dre has always collaborated with Jay. 50 ain’t dead, he has so much money and fame he doesn’t need a major record label anymore.

I think it’s funny dre doesn’t write his own lyrics but the masses are ok with that.
if he openly uses ghostwriters thats cool with me. He’s a master producer. I’d rather hear him spit some shit Nas or Jay wrote for him then have to listen to a dope beat get wasted on somethin like “Never let me slip, ’cause if I slip, then I’m slippin”
it’s the dudes who claim they write their shit but don’t that bother me
Or how about he just doesnt spit at all? Id rather hear nas or jay spit on a dre beat then dre pretend like hes a rapper
I WILL BE BUYING DRE’S HEADPHONES THE SAME DAY AS THE DETOX ALBUM IS RELEASED.
That was probably the worst promotion I’ve seen.$300 Headphones GTFOOH>>>>>PASS…..
b4 2012! hurry DRE!
http://www.defiledasianslutbitches.com
Dr Dre – DETOX, Game – The R.E.D Album, Eminem – Relapse 2 —- Buy them albums, its gonna have some classic music for everyone
Those I intend to download.
Reflection Eternal- Revolutions Per Minute, Nas/Damian Marley – Distant Relatives is what I will spend my dollars on. Plus, those have release dates.
vvv……. Kweli: “jay verse……I get repspected by the BEST M.C.’s….. in this world”…… yeah, your guy already knows whats up. get like him.
yeah, if game does put a release date it is worth buying. the nas/damian marley collaboration is good? what songs you reckon are the best on that? thanks
Dr Dre I would have told her this: If you want that at home plate sound throbbing threw your ears, you will put on Beats because its going to be like batter up! 🙂 See thats hot 🙂 UNDER PRESSURE, cuz she put you there lols
People You are right, 50 Cent and G-Unit are over.
Now Dr. Dre and Jimmy are chilling and doing business with Jay-Z now. I can’t wait to hear this joint from these two, I hope Jay killed it. But the vibe now all over the USA, that nobody is not feeling 50 Cent.
I hear folks jammin Rick Ross, Diddy, Jay, Young Jeezy and soon to T.I.
This true facts people will support Good Music, Not Bullshit, Fake Beef Rap shit. Thats played out, Beaine Sigel signed to a losing TEAM.
STOP DICK RYDIN
weak ass old ass confused looking clean off the drugs nervous whos inside that camera watching me dr dre. detox = relapse
Just me, or does DRE look old as fawk?
Is it just me or that is because he is actually old?
I think he looks young for bein 45 years old…just for the record that is old
Why are you guys waiting for Detox? Most of you will steal it. He is making millions off of those headphones. Dropping a bad album will ruin his brand. The dude with the blanket selling bootleg dvds and cds makes more off of music than the rappers and producers do. I asked Umbutu when that new Dre coming out, he told me to preorder and gave me his website address. WTF!! Paypal and everything.
under pressure,like as in david bowie fankie mercury collab
these two fuckin fags
FUCK DRE…………….disloyal shoe shiner………………..
Im looking forward to Detox whenever it drops……………
This is not news!

There are many sassy ladies and handsome military guys seeking fun, friendship, love ,marriage and even more!!!!! Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
nice
Sweet we get a fresh verse from dre ghost written by hov, and still no confrimation that this is a relapse single. And even if they did confirm it, they said that like 2 or 3 years ago and they even droppd a song claiming to be the first single i cant remember the name of it..not excited 1 bit.
detox*
That shameless advertising made me want to shoot myself. Jimmy Iovine made me want to puke.
That song will never see the light of day. For those who think it will, all you have to do is say it out loud: “The first single from DETOX, is called Under Pressure and features JAY-Z”.
gtfo
