So the Beats acquisition actually went through..

[STAN JONES]

How much of Beats does Jimmy Iovine own?

im not sure but i remember reading him and Dre own a combined 75% of beats and HTC owns the other 25%

my guess is he owns 50% or more


edit: HTC sold their 25% last year...i bet theyre mad as fukk they did that

 

[Xtraz2]

Man who cares? Y should I care if Dr Dre is richer because of this deal? To me, this shyt is sickening.

Why is it sickening? Some of you dudes need help....

Forbes said around 20-25 percent for his cut so

But after taxes and shyt you can pretty much cut it in half unless he has a way to loop around it.

It's sickening because of how we venerate rich folk, esp black rich folk from the entertainment industry. It's good he got the deal, but what does him being a billionaire have to do with me? I'm not hating on him; I'm just not going to get excited about him being a billionaire now.

Yeah I doubt he'll do anything for the black community.

It's not even about that. I don't want a handout. I'm just saying why should I celebrate this?

 

[MewTwo]

Just had a thought. If Oprah, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Puffy, Master P, Birdman, 50 Cent, Russel Simmons and Dre all pooled their money together they could do SO MUCH for black people. As Dame Dash said it's really a tragedy that powerful black people don't collaborate together on social issues.

I'M SAYING ALL THESE fukkING THREADS ABOUT IT ARE ANNOYING. First it goes thru, then its not going thru, then it is going through. Okay, that's cool. It's like I'm supposed to be in awe, like we're witnessing history or some shyt.

You shouldn't, but why exactly is it "sickening" though?
