[Karl.]

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Beats are the Jordans of headphones in terms of price

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

And not getting what you pay for

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Apple is giving 2.2 billion in goodwill.... Standing ovation to Dre when the deal finally goes through....

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

You went on a long ass tangent because your god wasn't the first billionaire in hip hop even tho he been doing 200 shows a year for the past 5 to pay Live Nation that 150 mill they fronted him. You that hurt about another man's pockets huh?

1,087 posts all with Jay-Z dick in your throat. That's dedication.

 

[GetoBoy]

Says the same nigga with 10,877 with the same nigga's name in his mouth non stop....10,000+ post just to hate??? Fuck dedication yo bitch ass deserve an award for that type of shyt!!! In fact for that type of work ima gone ahead and give you a complimentary ether click.....You're welcome!!!

So hold on, did they release the specifics of the deal? Is he really settled at a billion, or did he just clip it like niggas was saying due to taxes? What's the subtotal? 1.1? 1.2?

I think this is a tenuous claim. Dude is the product endorser for a company he invested in, he didn't make this money from hip hop, he made it from Chinese factory workers putting together headphones after his record exec buddy asked him to be the name and spokesperson for the branding they were creating. This is not from record sales or from the music business.

This isn't a win for hip hop, it's a win for investing in tech firms and new multimedia.

I won't dispute he's set for life but to call this a win for hip hop is like suggesting I owe my boss if I use the money I make at work to buy a lottery ticket. Where the money comes from doesn't matter as much as what you do with it once you've got it in your pocket and how you invest it.

What are headphones specifically used for?

 

[rip.dilla]

And you need to listen to 2001 on quality speakers, an album released a good 15 years ago to know Dre is a master with musical sound which translated to his endorsing those successful headphones ..

Its all intertwined. Its still a win for HipHop ..

His image and allure (which come from hip hop) propelled the success of tge brand. Along wit catchy marketing ...the name of the product itself is genuis & enticing...which goes back to hip hoP...the shit is named beatz for god sakes

A beats by sonny bono or beats by sting, or whoever wouldnt have took off like this even if as intensly promoted

This is in fact a by product of hiphop. Dont try the make the shit deeper than it is

@pissedoffnobody

That Dre ain't the first billionare rapper or that Dre beats ain't hip hop?

Dre Beats the smartest thing ever done in Hip Hop business history.

Last I checked they didn't come with a label specifying their use. Considering Lady Gaga and Justin Biever have had a Beats line, your point is moot since they've been marketed to pop and Eurodance fans too.

If you do your research you'll see this was Iovine's baby from the beginning when he wanted to invest in tech, Dre was brought on but the ball was already rolling between Monster and Iovine.

This is a case of a record exec working with an Asian tech firm and bringing on a black spokesperson to partner in as well. This is like Nike making Air Jordans and letting Jordan eat off his own branding with stock options and Adidas doing Stan Smiths.

Monster Cable goes back to 1979. Beats is a brand under them, just like Air Jordans under Nike.

This is a product of Jewish investment and Asian factory workers with a black guy as marketing. Just like RUN DMC and Adidas, Jordan and Nike, Jay Z and Nike. That's not deep, that's the facts once you stop trying to fuck with them to suit some agenda like this is any different. If Noel Lee and Jimmy Iovine hadn't got together and decided he was a better face for the brand than they were, Dre wouldn't have any headphone line with his name on it.

Ur more than a mere spokesperson and marketing ploy when you own 20 to 25 percent of the company. All that extra shit u talkin is jus extra shit it aint that deep
