About this listen
Dr. Dre has found his classic anthem Still Dre resurgent everywhere this week after Goodyear unveiled a viral NASCAR commercial set to the legendary beat. Stock car racing analyst Adam Stern posted that the ad notched a jaw-dropping 1.2 billion impressions and 670 million video views across platforms, including forty million on TikTok and another fifteen million on YouTube, making the iconic Dre and Snoop Dogg track once again the soundtrack of American industry and sporting spirit, decades after its release. Dre’s presence is also dominating talk shows. On August 22 he appeared alongside Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent on Jimmy Kimmel Live, delivering backstage banter and nostalgia-laced insights about hip-hop’s trajectory.
One of the juiciest headlines: Grammy-winner Eve made news by delving into her past romance with Suge Knight as a jab at Dr. Dre, a revelation pulled from her memoir Who’s That Girl and amplified by Black Enterprise on August 22. Eve admitted dating Dre’s then-rival out of “sweet revenge,” especially after collaborating with Dre on the Grammy-winning Let Me Blow Ya Mind, though the short-lived drama apparently ruffled feathers at Interscope and with her label bosses. She recounted they eventually advised her to break it off to protect her music career.
In major industry news, Alicia Keys was just named the 2025 recipient of the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award by the Recording Academy, as reported by Vibe Magazine. This annual accolade cements Dre’s biographical legacy by institutionalizing his name with excellence and innovation in music. Elsewhere, his biographical legend lives on through inspirational social media content, with several viral posts this week, notably a motivational video tagged @drdre by @timeinvestors and another Instagram tribute to Dre’s role in launching Eminem’s career.
Adding another layer of notoriety, there’s strong buzz on industry blogs and entertainment sites about Dre’s involvement in a new series for ABC titled Dre’s Anatomy, set to debut this Fall. He’s described as a renaissance man—music mogul, entrepreneur, and soon, network star. Meanwhile, a video of Still D.R.E. performed live in Yorba Linda, California, exploded on Instagram with hundreds of thousands of views and universal acclaim for Dre’s enduring stage energy.
While there are no confirmed new business ventures or headline-grabbing controversies this week, this latest wave of commercial virality, mainstream recognition, and nostalgia-fueled buzz prove that Dr. Dre remains culturally untouchable, driving headlines and redefining musical impact well into 2025.
