[DrX]

jew man won again.....he became a billionaire off something that was created by ppl he never want to be seen with

 

[Mac Casper]

This dude looks like young blood, like some intern fresh outta trade school

 

[Beerus]

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

but bruh.
Fiddy is independent. He's better off than being caught in a deal with a major, especially at this point in his career He has control over his shyt. Seriously cmon brehs smarten up.

People forget how Jimmy made it mandatory for his artist to have beats by dre stuff in their video...

People forget how Jimmy made it mandatory for his artist to do beats by dre commercials...

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

"UMG will make an estimated $400m in the deal, according to insiders."

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.

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.

Just look at the acts the new CEO has made huge under his own label to see the direction they're probably going in. It could be a good thing for rappers in the long run, really. Guys like Tech Nine need to give seminars to school these dudes.

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

and good riddance. 50 has nothing left to contribute musically. theres much better legends & vets who can still somewhat go, that are stuck on indies, so his garbage can albums should definitely be indie too. he hasnt been hot since GRODT. and hes been a cancer to the culture since he got on interscope; making it about everything but the music, dwelling on sales, theatrics & stunts.(i dont care about the beef stuff. im all for that.)

now we gotta sit back and wait for jay-z, kanye and some of these other stinkers to piss off one of their bosses.

time to destroy & rebuild.

i cant even use the larry holmes smiley cuz larry holmes was still able to give out that work past his heyday.
