East v. West: The Beef is OVAH!

If this were 1996 do you think you would ever see this picture...

Of course you wouldn't. Dr. Dre in a Red Sox uniform, in Boston? Never would've happened. You know some crazy Bad Boy Records "exec" would be at Fenway to beef with the good Dr and all hell would break loose.

The good news is, this is 2010 and it's official, the BEEF IS OVAH!!

Some believe it ended when Tupac and Biggie were killed, but truth be told I think it ended when these guys realized there was MUCH more money to be made by being a touch "friendlier" to mainstream America. Still gangsta, but gangsta chic if you will.

So, what's the point of all this? Well, Dr. Dre was in the Bean over the weekend to promote his new line of Beats headphones branded with the Red Sox logo on them. You can get them here.

Ok, yes the $400 price tag is eye popping to say the least, but I have tried a pair of these out and take it from me, a former DJ, these headphones will blow your mind...NO LIE. The sound that these headphones put out is absolutley phenomenal. Plus, when you wear them you can rock your Nation pride.

A couple other notes on Dre...his new single will be realeased in a couple of weeks, it's called "Under Pressure" and it features Jay-Z. The much anticpated album "Detox" is scheduled to be released before the end of the year. Of course, this is not new news to you if you caught the Opening Day pre-game with Heidi Watney:



Dre and Jimmy Iovine also showed up on another peculiar show the other day...that would be Maria Bartiroma's CNBC show. I know they are on their grind, but really!??!?!?
