Said a bunch of people, today, upon hearing the news that Apple appears to be planning on creating an original TV series, and that – wait for it – DR DRE is working on it with them.
Whaaaat. We know, right? Crazy town.
According to those who may or may not be in the know, the show is currently titles ‘Vital Signs’ and will be offered through Apple TV. This person also made to sure to let everyone know that they were not authorized to be speaking about the subject because it was private. Well, Duh dummy.
Dr Dre has done pretty well recently, joining Apple after it acquired Beats Music for $3 billion in 2014, and producing the well received 2015 film ‘Straight Outta Compton’.
Apple declined to comment on the project, and no-one anywhere was surprised.
Would you watch an Apple original TV series co-created by Dr Dre?
Tomorrow, June 30th, Apple music will launch! And everyone in the world will be talking about it because 1. It’s newfangled and shiny, 2. It’s free for 3 months, and 3. It’s launching with an exclusive Hip Hop classic that everyone thinks is cool/pretends to be cool by knowing all about it.
Yup, The Chronic, the 1992 West Coast hip-hop album by Beats co-founder and now Apple God Dr. Dre. This is the first time the album has been on a streaming service (including Beats!), and will join the likes of much hyped 1989 from Tay Tay Swift. Another draw? Happy maker Pharrell will release his new single “Freedom” exclusively on the service.
A number of other Artists are said to be in talks with Apple about releasing exclusive content onto the platform. BUT WAIT THERE”S MORE!
Aside from the streaming service, Apple Music is also offering Apple Music Connect platform, a social network that lets artists share (more) photos, videos, and other content with fans.
And then there’s Beats 1 radio, which will feature special interviews and music curated by celebrities. Slim Shady himself, AKA Eminem, will be the first Beats 1 interviewee following tomorrow’s launch of Apple Music and Beats 1, and Dr. Dre will host his own radio show on the station.
Apple Music is expected to launch around 8AM PT Tuesday morning alongside iOS 8.4, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system. It will be available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac and PC through iTunes.
The first three months is free of charge thankyouverymuchApple, but after that there will be a subscription fee of $9.99 per month for a single user or $14.99 per month for a family plan of up to six users.
If you’re not down for commitment, you can still listen to Beats 1 radio, see what artists are posting on Connect, and hear ad‑supported stations on Apple Music (with limited skips) without a membership.
