There are many business decisions Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine made in order to turn Beats by Dre into a multibillion-dollar company. One decision we certainly won't discount is their relentless push of product placement in music videos.
The concept of product placement in music videos is pretty commonplace these days, especially when there's always a buck to squeeze out somewhere. We've lost count of how many times Rick Ross has tried to shove Belaire Rosé down our throats, or what Lil Wayne looked like before he started dressing like a skater in every one of his music videos because of Trukfit. Other rappers like 50 Cent and Ludacris have even gone the headphones route. But they don't do it as successfully as Dr. Dre. Or as excessively. Here are 40 Music Videos With Blatant Beats by Dre Product Placement. Stay woke, my friends.
