from the LA Times:
After Eminem had his five-month marketing blitz — which saw the gradual release of multiple tracks and a partnership with Fox series “Family Guy” — producer-rapper Dr. Dre appears ready to start receiving similar treatment.
The rap impresario will appear in an ad for a major soda company — one that has some experience with long-awaited albums that can never possibly live up to your expectations. The clip will start airing on national television June 1, Billboard tells us.
The ad features a bit of “Detox,” but don’t get too excited. It’s only about eight seconds of a slow groove, and the crowd seems more interested in getting down with the soda than Dr. Dre.
On and off release schedules since about 2004, “Detox” will supposedly be out by the end of 2009.
