Dre track previewed on Pepper ad
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 29 May 2009
The first glimpse of Dr Dre’s much anticipated and somewhat delayed new album ‘Detox’ can be heard in the new US advert for that fizzy syrup popular with any Americans not in the current Guns N Roses line up, Dr Pepper. Dre guests in the latest instalment of the drink’s ‘Trust Me, I’m A Doctor’ campaign, and in it he references the decade long wait for the new long player, saying to camera: “Scientific test prove when you drink Dr Pepper slow, the 23 flavours taste even better. For me, slow always produces a hit”. He then steps behind a DJ booth and plays a few beats, seemingly from his new album. ‘Detox’ is now scheduled for a late 2009 release after the project was delayed due to Dre’s commitments to the new Eminem and 50 Cent albums. Dr Pepper’s ‘Trust Me I’m A Doctor’ campaign has featured other made up doctors – retired American basketball player Dr J and Dr Frasier Crane – plus Kiss’ Gene Simmons, accompanied by his song ‘Doctor Love’.
