9 Times The Simpsons Predicted The Future
5. Dr Dre Actually Does Have A University Building Named After Him
Lisa and Hugh spend their time hanging out in their university accommodation: Dr & Mrs Dre Hall. Now, as decent a gag as this is, it actually came true. In May 2013 Dre and his pal Jimmy Iovine, the co-founder of Beats Electronics along with the good doctor as well as being the founder of Interscope Records, handed $70 million to the University of Southern California.
That wedge was used to set up the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation, which aims to "to shape the future by nurturing the talents, passions, leadership and risk-taking of uniquely qualified students who are motivated to explore and create new art forms, technologies, and business models, which all sounds very noble. Mrs Dre remains, for the moment, unrecognised for her good works by any universities.
