Dr. Dre to Star in Scripted Apple TV Show All About His Early Career
Dr. Dre is a self-made rap industry mogul and one of the pioneering MC's of modern hip-hop. His exploits speak for themselves: He's a founding member of Beats Electronics in addition to the seminal gangster rap quintet N.W.A. , which has enjoyed renewed spotlight since the group's biopic Straight Outta Compton dazzled audiences in the summer of 2015.
But Dre isn't done yet: Per The Hollywood Reporter, we've learned of plans for a scripted-TV series about the rap legend's life, which will apparently depict much of his wild, sex-havin' early days. The show is called Vital Signs and is being financed by Apple—which owns Beats Electronics—and insiders say the series is likely to be distributed by Apple Music and perhaps some of the company's other properties, like Apple TV. Vital Signs will reportedly feature actors Sam Rockwell and Murder in the First's Mo McCrae. And oh yeah, Dre will also co-star in the show; that's kind of a no-brainer.
