Dr Dre may have just become hip-hop's first billionaire after selling Beats Electronics to Apple (Don MacCathy/London Ent/Splash)
According to The Financial Times, Dre has been in serious talks with Apple to acquire the brand which is valued at a cool $1 billion with an announcement believed to be made next week.

Technology analysts are speculating that Apple are more interested in the music streaming leg of Beats Electronics rather than the headphones, and they are also reportedly considering a deal with Spotify.

In September 2013, Beats Electronics received a $500 million (£295 million) investment from Carlyle Group, boosting its financial value.

I believe it, cuz beats is more than headphones and speakers n shit... They got computers and phones and other devices that feature beats audio built into them... Thats why apple wants it, they could give a fuck about the headphones. Its cuz they wanna control the market with everything


Which is funny because that might mean that the pc companies that sell computers with beats built in will end up having to pay apple for using it... So that means that apple might be getting money from mac and pc sales, when pc was basically their main competition since the start lol, i wonder how thatll play out



That seems so crazy to get $3,200,000,000 from an idea as simple as that..."well uhh im a producer so lets make some headphones, we'll call em uhhh... Beats". But i gotta give dre props hes gettin more than jay z and puffy i think, and hes got people dropping hundreds of dollars on that shit, cant knock his hustle

But make some new beats you dickweed. Theres no excuse now. There is no sanely possible way to even come close to spending 3 billion dollars by the time you die, so you can just stop everything else thats keeping you busy because you dont ever need to make another dollar from now on. Make some music and if you dont wanna rap then make some beats so the west coast can get its shine on again, if you dont wanna do it.

I put that on mommies that if dre stops making beats because he dosent need the money, im personally walk to dr dres house and ima bring tubesteak with me and we ar going to punch that nigga in da fuckin mouf!
