Dr. Dre welcomes everybody to the jungle with his latest Beats commercials for the World Cup 2014. The Game Before The Game captures the unseen game played out in the soccer player's locker rooms while fans are perform their superstitious rituals in order for their favorite team to twin.

The video starts out with a foreboding score by Michael Einziger and Annmarie Simpson as a father gives words of wisdom to his son. He advises, "Run like it is the last day of your life. Run like you're a crazy man chasing happiness."

After stepping off their bus, the soccer players walk past their screaming legions of pass and the flashing cameras, heading off into their room. That's when the song, Jungle, by X Ambassadors and Jamie N Commons kicks in. The famous players are practicing their trick shots while fans are setting up shines, hoping it will please their sports god.

The star-studded video features Neymar Jr., Chicharito, Luis Suárez, Mario Götze, and Robin van Persie. See if you can spot Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Serena Williams in the video too.

If you're wondering why LeBron James is in the ad, Beats chief marketing officer Omar Johnson has an answer for you. In an interview for Advertising Age, Johnson states, "[James] heard about the commercial; he wanted to be in it."

It's ironic though that just a cool commercial as this won't be promoted during the games. As reported here, Beats headphones have been banned from the World Cup because Sony is the official sponsor.
