Dr. Dre & Jay-Z Are “Under Pressure” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 06/17/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre

Well holy motherfucking shit, what do we have here? (Hey, sometimes you just gotta swear). More than two months after Dr. Dre promised his new single "Under Pressure" would be dropping later that week (surprise, it didn't), the good doctor's single, the first solo single we've heard from him in over a decade, has, whether intentionally or not, found its way onto the interwebs.

Predictably, "Under Pressure" is disappointing, but that's probably got more to do with the insane amount of hype surrounding it than any huge failing on its part. Dr. Dre's verse is ok, the beat is ok, and Jay-Z's verse is ok (for him). I don't know, maybe I'm jaded, but I'm not impressed. Maybe I just need to give it a few listens, I'm writing this as a first impression. Anyway, at this rate "Detox" will drop sometime in 2012.

~~Sorry, you're just going to have to live with some tags. As soon as the clean version inevitably drops I'll update.~~Updated with the tag-free version, though I'm not sure it matter much. The track's still wack.

enigmAtic And ecstAtic (joshL)	wtf???? where is the rest of it? lol. i like the beat, but the verses r as bad as Gucci or Plies. also, where was the hook? is it jus me or was there not a hook? i hope DJBooth never posts a song this bad.

enigmAtic And ecstAtic (joshL)	not bad.... i mean dissapointing. it still has potential if verses are tweaked and hook is better. also, it would be nice if i could actually understand wat they sayin. sound quality pretty bad. i kno kno, not ur fault.

hmmm...beat is ok nothing special, Boi1da beats sound better than this one. Not what i was expecting from dre. After all he won the Vibe best producer of all time award.

If this an indication of Detox, a lot of people's hopes & expectations will be dashed...maybe im expecting too much from the godfather of hiphop.

Then again maybe my expectations are too high. Maybe im expecting Detox to be another game changer like the previous two...maybe...just maybe.

TheBayToLA	This was obviously leaked before it was finished, but at least Dre hasn't lost his sense of music and what makes people move.

I have had 0 expectations for anything Dre has released. It's always gonna be a "gotta listen to this", but I just don't attach hype to it. It's not like his album's coming out! Heh, but seriously, I just lack the ability to have expectations when listening to something like this.

And well, knowing that, I can safely say that I still don't like it too much. It seems a bit on the LCD (lowest common denominator) appeal, on pretty much most edges. Just with better (potential-wise) artists.

Nathan S.	For the record, I'd agree that this probably isn't the absolute finished version, but I can't imagine what Dre still needs to add to make this a dope track...unless it's an entirely new song. You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig. So to speak.
