Dre's billion is diminished cause he had a Jimmy Iveen holding his hand to earn it

[A Real Negga]

Sorry, I can't respect your hustle...ITS NOT EVEN YOUR HUSTLE. You got a cac making all your decisions and profiting more off you. From Aftermath, to Beats, Dre is a puppet, not a boss... JAYZ is a boss. Now when he hits a bill, I think that would be truly more deserving and more real.

Why are ppl crowning Dre as the greatest hip hop businessman? I'm not hating, I just hate all the praise hes getting.. its not justified. I'd actually feel embarrassed to call myself a billionaire if I "earned" it like Dre did. Anyone else feel this way?

Are you an idiot? I'm a Jay Stan and everybody knows he has cac handlers helping him navigate the upper echelon of the corporate world. Shut up.

Ask yourself this question though and be honest,do you feel this way because Dre aint all out there bragging about his business moves like most rappers do?...Cuz that's probably whats really making you think Diddy,Jay,50 "did it by themselves"....Only thing Dre don't do is comeout and overstate his involvement to the public,i think his name was way more influential in beats being successful than whatever Iovines involvement was...you think Beats by Jimmy iovine woulda done numbers

Lol good luck with your "real nikka mentality"

Diddy's a Boss.... Jay is nothing but an endorsement man too... He don't own shyt.


Dre is wet behind the ears when it comes to business... When Iovine told him about this idea... The nikka was probably ecstatic just to get 20% of the company and make $100 mil one day.



BEST BELIEVE SEAN COMBS WOULD OWN 51% OF THAT shyt.... NAH... 65%.....



Dre = Created a business from scratch that uses HIS NAME, started with 33% of the company, and now has 16 to 20% of the company...

Diddy = got hired by Ciroc as a spokes person, and now MADE SO MUCH MONEY FOR THEM, he's virtually a fukking part owner.... Don't feel like looking up stats, but I think Diddy get like 50% of profits.. I dunno... something CRAZY.


The point is: Dre MADE his own company, and got less Clout than Diddy got in a company that he JOINED and just "Took Over"


That's the difference. Dre not a business man. Neither is Jay tho (Mr. Barney's collection / .15% of the Nets ass nikka). Diddy is the REAL DEAL.

i think his name was way more influential in beats being successful than whatever Iovines involvement was...you think Beats by Jimmy iovine woulda done numbers

You are like, COMPLETELY missing his point...


His fukking point is Dre should own 60 to 70% of this company RIGHT NOW.... PERIOD..... Not 16% to 20%.... that's a gip


Best believe if this was Diddy's shyt, he'd own 60 to 70% .... If Dre was a business man, he TRULY WOULD be becoming a billionaire soon.


But at the same time, Dre knows shyt about business, so he needed Jimmy Iovine just as much as Jimmy needed him. Jimmy is the business man / visionary... Only thing Dre wanna do is make beats (instrumentals, not headphones)..... He would've NEVER done this on his own if Jimmy hadn't got him to do it.

Common hater.

Oh wait.... Didn't even finish reading thread starter post:


At the end of the day nikka, a billion is a billion... Unless you played the loterry, that's the hoe way.


But if he made a billion of LEGAL MONEY and didn't hurt any kids, you can't diminish shyt just cus he not the main owner...... fukk that mean....



All that said: Dre will be worth $619 mil to $650 mil TOPS after the deal goes through.... So he's not a billionaire regardless.


But I'll let yall keep thinking what you wanna

 

[Malik]

yall nikkas...

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Lol, shyt can I be a diminished millionaire

Money is money, who care who you got it with or how you how you got. If you did it legally and didn't have to fukk people to do it....

I'm sure he won't be losing any sleep over anyone not "respecting" his billionaire status

For somebody who own 60 to 70% of everything,and is aaaaallll in the commercials,everywhere promoting....Seem like Diddy should be the one who reach a billion faster...Instead Dre in the background just "making beats",making giving 100million dollar donations and he still probably gon hit that mark first....Dre chilling,probaly aint going to no meetings,barely does commercials and the billion is right around the corner...you really think the next 200-300 million endorsement aint gon come easy for Dre after this deal if he so chooses...But you don't respect his business acumen though so that's gon be a problem.

Dre is a highschool graduate,who produces and got famous thanks to Eazy E as well as his musical contributions to NWA,then got more famous because he took part in making more classics but Snoop got em over,as well as Suge made it possible...then Dre left and Aftermath became a success and Dre got new life largely due to Eminem....Dre BUSINESS WISE been playing background and riding coat tails for much of his career,but now he bout to get a billy and yall mad

Dude is from Compton,never went to college,never has ideas of his own outside of music and he bout to get a damn billion,get yalls head out yalls behinds and that man....and besides that this aint a damn BUSINESS forum,its a hiphop forum

So tell us why we should be more happy for a nikka like Diddy,than Dre or Jay who got theirs mostly through what they did musically and giving us classics...Diddy been hoppin around like a mascot for years which is cool,but a nikka like Dre who simply did his thing by way of music and managed to get a billion I don't see how u can be mad at that,and some of yall seem very angry...the artist won for once,and the sad thing is yall respect these sand nikkas in dubai and cacs when you REALLY don't know how they got it,and would probably be disgusted if you did

yeah thats exactly what im saying. as a man i dont know if i could even want a billion dollars like this. and i certainly wouldnt brag about it. like wheres your pride? its kinda like dudes who think their balling driving rentals. yeah you really in the car, but its not really real. So yeah Andre your bank account may have all those zero's but that shyt dont really count, not to me at least. The way his hand was held with every business move, the value of his money is just lost to me.

NOBODY gets to a billion without having a strong backing and a solid team. Stupid thread
