Its official! Dre is the 1st hip hop billionaire (Apple Deal

[Notalius]

Kinda coo but kinda wack too.

Does he really need to be any richer? What's the benefit...

He has more money than he ever needs.

He built that shit from nothing to a respectable, fashion-trending iconic brand. Stupid to just sell it to Apple. They were beginning to rival Apple, in style and quality perception.

Does it matter lol ? .. he's a billionaire now .. we don't even know if he would have made the billion anytime soon. I mean, it's not easy to get from 500m to a billion.

Yeah but what's the benefit of having an extra 500m in return for losing Beats?

So what... he can buy another 100 Bentley's?... Bored in 2 seconds I bet. It's meaningless.

Where as Beats is a cool-ass brand which they unbelievably made in to something in a pretty dull market and kind of revolutionized it as they intended to. That's pretty amazing. To throw that away just for more money to buy more shit... meh. I mean maybe he could have big plans for the money but I doubt it as whatever capital he needed for anything he could raise right now anyway due to what he's done with Beats.

Would you rather be remembered as the man who revolutionized something or the guy with a billion $.

Where's all the Apple hate coming from?

This forum hates anything popular.

Literally.

fuckin hipsters lol

[Just Silver]

Did someone say hipster

[IBasicallyRage]

This forum hates hipsters.

Here, children, we see the natural hipster in its own habitat, a hipster hating on the popular trend of "hating hipsters". Its completely contradicting and confusing, but thats what hipsters are, confusing.

If I said I hated hipsters since day one, that'd make me hipster. Oh God.

I doubt it. Beats by Dre wasn't his only business


don't forget that him and Jimmy Iovine opened their own university a few weeks ago & The Academy will enroll its first class in fall 2014.
