Dr. Dre TV Series Reportedly Dropped by Apple

Vital Signs, a television show that Dr. Dre was developing revolving around his life was, was reportedly pulled by Apple boss Tim Cook. There were concerns about scenes involving sex, violence, and drug use, reports The Wall Street Journal. Apple’s focus will be on making more mainstream TV programming going forward.
