Dr. Dre's delayed-forever "comeback" album, Detox, is still a long ways away from seeing the light of day (2011, maybe). However, the headphone salesman decided to wet our appetites when he delivered* "Under Pressure" unto the internet's doorstep.
Featuring Jay-Z and sampling Kraftwerk (FTW), the track is... solid-ish. This is big news particularly because Dre announced the single's release way back in April and he wasn't lying.
Hopefully this inspires more kept promises and we'll finally get to hear Detox (It probably won't).
"I'ma treat every day like the weekend."
* EDIT:// Forgot to mention the numerous (and fucking annoying) "New Music Cartel Dot Com" tags. They're there because this track is an unfinished leak. Here's what Dre had to say about it: "I want to set the record straight for everybody who's been waiting to hear my music. The song that's on the internet is an incomplete song that I'm still working on. When it's ready, you'll be hearing it from me."

That line reminds me of Large Professor's classic line from 'Just Hangin' Out'
Preparin' for the festivities to begin
And everyday seems like a day from the weekend
I'm not mad at the track (a return to the Wreckin' Cru days where he was infatuated with Kraftwerk) but seriously, I do hope Dre is telling the truth when he says it's not finished - there's just a lil' sumthin' missing - we need something a little more. Like when Dre's initial verse ends, and we're sitting on an empty aimless beat for like 4 measures. TWEAK THAT WITH A BRIDGE, DRE!
Agreed. I mean, it's clearly missing the hook, so I'm hopeful the finished product will be at least 2x better.
Getting rid of those NMC tags won't hurt things either...
