Discussion - how 'under pressure' should be looked at? - You discuss

How do you think "Under Pressure" should be judged upon when it wil eventually be released?


Should it be judge upon:
  • Solely on the track's quality?
  • Success in numbers (charts/radio/sales)?
  • Both-quality and success in numbers?

As you have seen and voted on the poll of this question - the results so far are even. So i think it should be discussed and you should explain your reasons.

Please give a good length of justification of your responses.

No show of Dre at Coachella

Yea he didnt appear at the Coachella festival. I thought so anyway.

My justification of why:

  • It was never confirmed that Dre was going to appear at all.
  • Makes sense to unleash the track through itunes/CD/radio etc and not as a live performance.
  • Dre needs to really promote the track before its released.This way success will be in numbers too.Dont matter who you are, you still gotta promote so at least the ears are facing his way.
  • If he did appear then still not enough eyes was gonna be on him.  You there is still alot of people who have no idea that Detox exists or that Dre is still in music>sersiously.
  • You cant expect Dre to suddenly do a huge performance suddenly, especial as he hasn't performed after a looong time.


He said "in about two weeks", not exactly 2 weeks or an exact date. But it could be soon.

Whatevers happened, stick with drdre-detox.blogspot.com - your number one source.

    Updates today will appear in this post:

    Chef Jeremiah has been on the grounds at Coachella snapping photos, and dropped a tweet confirming that "Dr. Dre sounding good @coachella #soundcheck"

    Jay-Z Rumored To Bring Dr Dre On Stage At Coachella Festival??

    Nearly four days tardy on last week's promise to unveil "Under Pressure" as lead Detox single, Dr. Dre and Jay-Z  may have something else up their sleeve. The past collaborators may commemorate the reunion (and Dr. Dre's return) with a joint performance at this weekend's Coachella Festival in Indio, California. Sources close to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records anonymously told HipHopDX that the Compton's finest may share the stage with Brooklyn's finest during Jay's headlining Friday April 16 performance.

    These rumors have yet to be substantiated in any way, and that source also said that scheduling conflicts remain in the way. Previously, Jay-Z has built a reputation for special guests, between Nas in 2005, as well as Michael Jackson at 2001's Summer Jam.

    Dr. Dre, who rarely performs as of late, is veteran to several legendary Rap tours, most recently 2000's Up In Smoke Tour featuring members of N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Westside Connection and others. To date, Dr. Dre has yet to perform at a festival of this kind.
