Video: Dr. Dre & Jimmy Iovine Talk $2,229 “Envy 15 Beats” HP Laptop
As if the headphones weren’t trashed enough by real audiophiles for being overpriced, here’s an overpriced laptop.
The HP Envy 15 Beats limited-edition laptop is set to arrive October 22 and will feature the same technology applied to Beats by Dre headphones. The black notebook computer — retailing at $2,299 — will come bundled with mixing software and a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. Fellow producers Timbaland, Polow Da Don, Pharrell Williams and Will.I.Am also helped fine-tune the machine’s sound.
“Sound is the heartbeat of music,” Iovine told MTV News about their latest collabo. “And Dre is the heartbeat of sound. He set the standard for many, many people.”
“If I spend a year in the studio and spend all this time tweaking [my production] and making sure it sounds right, my main concern is for you to hear it the way it should sound,” Dre explained to MTV News. “The way it was meant for you to hear it.”
Also this month, Beats by Dr. Dre is set to release a Lady Gaga-inspired line of headphones called Heartbeats. Diddy told MTV News recently that he might partner with Iovine and Dre for his own line as well.
“I feel like I’m in great company. I’m in the best company of the world,” Diddy said of uniting with the pair. “I feel like how A-Rod felt when he got traded to the Yankees.”

i know Diamond aint a classic natural beauty… but she look mad sexy like a world class blue chip chickenhead…
i have a soft spot in my heart for the dark skinned hoodrat types with freshly-did weaves and elaborate fake nail game … and maybe even a gold front on one of the two middle top teeth for extra sparkle … they always smell so good

Patra was the greatst dancer since Tina Turner in her youth … i loved when sometimes when she danced, she would spread her legs far apart and it seemed like the only thing moving was her coochie bone… in that video with Yo-Yo (”Romantic Call”), Patra was so ferocious, that Yo-Yo’s fineness iwas put on total mute …

Yo-Yo’s fineness
^^
Word. Always had a thing for her.
Both broads from Crime Mob could give birth to my children, it’s all good.
And late cosign Joe. The casting directors on The Game deserve an applause.

Tupac’s cameo in Romantic Call was maddddd random. I’m guessing he smashed one of em (Patra or YoYo).
Yo’s blond highlights, green eyes, and thick L.A. accent was wife material. If Cube ain’t beat he lost.

since How To Be a Playa.
^^
Bill Bellamy just wasn’t believable in that role.
Too corny to be smashing that quality and quanity of vagina, in movies and in real life.

Diamond is a dime to me. Like, seriously. But she would be the type of Bmore chick that wouldn’t fuck with me.

Fuck outta here with that overpriced bullshit ass HP and stop dodging the fact you haven’t delivered Detox after damn near 10 years.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
[...] If you are sick of hearing about this you might want to pass…more video of Dre and Jimmy talking about the Beats by Dre sound and their work with the HP Envy laptop. HP also confirms what we first exclusively reported, that each Beats edition of the laptop will include Beats by Dre headphones. Via: NahRight [...]

Dayum…he did come across fruity. Then again, Ice Cube hinted at that back in the day…Get a computer that can run Reason and you good. Don’t pay for just a name.
October 13th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Shit…. images of dre in world class wrecking crew came flashing back just then…wid make up on n shit…first few seconds were st8 homo…n whats wid da tight fitting shit he always wears now!!!!????
October 13th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
I hate to say it but Detox must be trash if it took Dre this long to deliver. I mean how hard is it to get some good writters to write for you when you’re the doctor himself. I mean he can’t be that busy with other projects.

$2300 for an HP laptop? fuck outta here. i can buy a mac book pro for that.
