Superstar Hip-Hop producer Dr. Dre will be part of a $40 million dollar advertising campaign being launched by Hewlett-Packard this weekend.
The eight-week campaign is titled “Let’s Be Amazing” and features Dr. Dre, comedian Rhys Darby, photographer Annie Leibovitz and others.
The spots are part of Hewlett-Packard’s attempt to redefine itself to their consumer base, in addition to giving the company some “personality and distinction.”
Dr. Dre’s commercial features the Aftermath Entertainment CEO in his recording studio expounding on the benefits of the HP Beats computing system.
The producer’s HP ENVY 15 Beats limited edition notebook PC is a collaboration between Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine of Interscope and HP’s engineers.
“The laptop is the new stereo for a lot of people and that’s why we’re putting out this computer with incredible sound,” Dr. Dre said of his new notebook PC.

Watts, CA native Glasses Malone with his grizzly slow rhyme-style which he refers to as a steady moving Beach Cruiser flow, has been waiting in the wings to blow up since he signed his $1.7 million dollar deal with Sony a few years back. With the backing of Sony, it looked like Malone was set to become the next big national face from the West Coast, however Sony decided that it wanted out of the Urban market and dumped it’s entire division dedicated to it temporarily leaving him without a home. Glasses began his hunt looking for a new outlet to put out his album, The Beach Cruiser, and soon found help from West Coast veteran Mack 10 and his Hoo-Bangin’ Records company who in turn took the promising star to Baby & Slim’s Cash Money Records. Things looked good for Malone at his new home as his single “Certified” featuring Akon took to Southern California radio and soon found itself on rotation in other stations around the country and it appeared as though The Beach Cruiser album was shortly on it’s way. Months after the “Certified” single, the album was pushed back and has been time after time since 2007 when we last spoke to Glasses Malone & Mack 10 in an exclusive interview. Glasses Malone is armed with hope though as he’s gone back to the drawing board for The Beach Cruiser album and still has the backing of Cash Money Records. AllHipHop.com met up with the self -proclaimed “President of the New West” out in Long Beach, Ca to talk about his album and get the story on what’s been going on with his career since we last spoke with him.
