I follow the tech industry. One thing I've always known about Apple is that they some secretive ass muthafukkas. Every single time when a partner of their pre-announces some shyt, Steve Jobs would get pissed and cancel the deal, no matter how far long it is.

So when I seen Dre put up that video tawmbout "first rap billionaire" before anything was even announced I was like :ufdup:

But then I thought, wait...Steve Jobs is dead so maybe that Apple tradition of sonnin cats that don't keep they mouth shut died with him :ehh:

But it's been almost over a month now and the rumors are that Apple is on some "fukk Beats" shyt :camby:

Damn, Dre. You done fukked up AWWWWLLL the money :umad:

AppleInsider - Apple Turns Cold Shoulder Towards ATI at Macworld

:mjpls:

You could almost feel the sadness by glancing at the faces of the numerous ATI employees staffing the company's conference room at Macworld Expo New York. According to reliable sources, a recent mishap has left the graphics chip supplier in a tub of hot water with OEM partner, Apple Computer.

On Monday, a message posted from an ati.com company address appeared on BusinessWire, detailing the company's plans product plans for Macworld. Under normal circumstances, this would not pose as a problem. However, the published blurb provided advanced information on Apple hardware products to be announced at the expo.

"ATI plans a surprise announcement on July 19," the messages stated, in part. "In a keynote, wait for Apple to announce three new systems with ATI graphics in them. One will be an iMac with the RAGE 4XL chip, the remaining two are PowerMacs which will ship with RAGE 128 PRO standard and RADEON."

This blurb was apparently enough to send Apple cofounder and CEO, Steve Jobs, through the roof. As a result, source said, Mr. Jobs ripped all mention of ATI and their products from his keynote presentation this morning. Apple's introduction of new Power Mac G4 systems went without mention of the graphics chip that would ship inside, and the same was the case for the company's new iMacs and Power Mac G4 Cube.

"Oh, you've got it now too...," one ATI staffer commented uneasily to AppleInsider correspondents who asked for confirmation on Apple's rumored retaliation. "So we take that as a confirmation?," an AppleInsider editor then asked, as the complexion slowly faded from the faces of two ATI employees. "We really cannot comment on that," they then stated reluctantly.

"I bet ATI won't have the chance to make that mistake again," one Apple Employee said Tuesday afternoon when asked if Apple was angered by the company's slip-up on BusinessWire.

You need a reading comprehension class bruh because that article mentions nothing about Beats. You're simply speculating.

Everywhere...You never there.
tyrese causing billion dollar losses out here:mjlol:

Soon as a saw the vid, and him in the vid, saying what he said... I'm like, :what: .... That ain't even yo money, nicca! :mindblown:



With that said, the video...any video announcing a finished business transaction while the deal is really still pending is a bad look. Dre should know better.

Who does that shyt? Most billionaires don't even want their photos in Forbes.

Still hilarious to me how people think Dre owns Beats and Apple gave him 3 billion, lol. Jimmy Iovine owns Beats, Dre prob got 150-300 mill off that 3 billion.
