but bruh.Damn 50 just needed to wait a little longer. I put money on it Dre told him just to chill for a while longer but 50 just wouldn't listen
People forget how Jimmy made it mandatory for his artist to have beats by dre stuff in their video...

Dude literally turned interscope into a marketing tool for Beats by Dre...and now that he is going to come out of this with an enormous amount of money...he is just tossing interscrope in the bushes...since it served his purpose and he has no more uses for it...
GOAT slimeball business move
That's exactly what I was thinking. Rap stars aren't exactly the popstars they were 10 years ago. There definitely is a market for popular rappers if they manage themselves properly via the internet, merchandising, shows, etc."UMG will make an estimated $400m in the deal, according to insiders."
HITS Daily Double: News
Universal is eating good off this deal.
The bigger issue is this could be a sign major labels are done with rap completely. Island/Def Jam has been broken up and the funding won't be the same for Def Jam. Lyor is a seen as a joke now with his 300 label on Warner. You have legacy artists and people like Birdman, but that's about it.

50 cares about money but you can tell he cares more about fame and being the biggest star and record sales to brag about. Under the Interscope umbrella and with their push and money they put into his project he'd be able to get a much bigger look and better chance to sell more. He knew he couldn't do it under Jimmy Iovine because as he said, interscope became all about Beats By Dre. Now that that's over with and Jimmy is gone (who he had a terrible relationship with) he could've stayed and got his second chance to drop a big "industry stopping" album. He can't do that independently
stinkers to piss off one of their bosses.i just wanna know wat dre thinks of this
this like the third time he got fukked over but this time he paid by it so i guess its a plus
