The 'net has gone into a tizzy over the last 24 hours, due to a leak of a song titled "Under Pressure" by Dr. Dre featuring Jay-Z hitting YouTube and SendSpace.

As many sites pointed it, it seemed to be a straight-forward rap track, without a chorus to speak of.

There's no chorus, Dr. Dre says, because it wasn't finished yet.

The rapper -- who's threatened over and over to eventually release his album "Detox" this year -- took to the Interscope website to "set the record" of the record straight.

"I want to set the record straight for everybody who's been waiting to hear my music.  The song that's on the internet is an incomplete song  that I'm still working on.  When it's ready, you'll be hearing it from me." Signed Dr. Dre. It was posted this morning.
 
The track kicks off "The long-awaited 'Detox, bitch / But maybe I don't wanna stop / Maybe I don't wanna quit/ Maybe I like hos/ Maybe I don't want a wife/ Maybe I'm psycho."
 
And maybe you just like suspense, Dre. Don't you remember back in early April when you teased that the new Jay-Z enhanced single would drop in two weeks? Maybe he was waiting on the solstice.

    "Rapper Jay-Z (b. S. Carter) died today at Sloan Kettering hospital in Manhattan, NY. The rapper has spent the last 2 years fighting an ongoing and quiet battle with prostate cancer. "We had such hope" a family member speaking on condition of anonymity explained. "He had gone into remission some time back, maybe 2 years or so but lately he just wasn't looking right." Jay-Z along with Eminem were set to co-headline two very special performances in Comerica Park and Yankees Stadium in Detroit and NY respectively. At this point it is unclear of the exact cause of death. He is survived by his wife, Beyonce Knowles. He was 40 and will surely be missed by the hip hop community. We will update you with more details as they emerge"
