Dr. Dre to become the first Billionaire in Hip-Hop, Beats to be bought by Apple

Yo Master P got paid millions for groaning for 2 seconds in a music video, respect the hustle lol.

One of my best friends paid $1100 for ear buds, he even had to get a mold of his ears from an Otolaryngologist to send to the company so his ear buds would be made to specifically fit his ears. The sound quality was GDLK, but I wouldn’t pay that much for ear buds then again it’s his money to do with whatever he wants with and he seems happy so I guess it was worth it.

800 Million isnt 3 billion. But thats just splitting hairs.

Anyways, we all own high price tech, so its pretty obnoxious to act like Beats are worse than Iphones or tablets or random electronics that cant handle more than a drop or two.

Hell, my cousins PS3 fell on the floor about 3 feet and that was THE END. So i mean all tech is sensitive.

Its like where did the rest of the claimed 500 mil? come from

It didn’t come from direct to DVD horror and teen movies to put his son out there, lil romeo

Snickers commercials.

make that money

Replace that laptop HDD with an SSD and it can take a tumble or two.

RZA has headphones with WESC too.

And 50 Cent has the SMS Audio line.

Headphones is one of the most played out gimmicks the past few years.

Beats are popular because they are the first set of headphone made specifically for hip hop and electronica. The low register for deep bass is phenomenal. Also the noise cancelling on outside sound is great. Everything about the beats are great even though they are pricey.

I dunno what about that was funny.

because you could most likely get a much better set of headphones from Sennheiser, Audiotechnica, Koss, etc… in whatever price range?

It’s like Skullcandies all over again. Though like other people said, I can respect the hustle.

Dude, a good pair of Pioneers or Sennheisers will cost almost as much as the Beats Mixr or Beats Solos HD.

I have a pair of Sennheiser and I had a pair of Shure SRH750. They arent good for hip hop.

Again, Beats were made specifically for fans of music with low deep bass. The rumble and boom of hip hop and dance music is way better on Beats.

IIRC the newer beats are more equalized, the first generation beats have REALLY deep bass that made your ears vibrate at high volumes. I wish I had a pair of those.

One other thought, since we’re talking about this.

Beats Audio. This technology would now be Apple owned.

That was a decent drawing point for HTC.

who’s dick did this nigga suck to get that deal? Like some1 else mentionded, 14 dolla shitty headphones sold for 200. You have to be a retard to buy one of these.

bbq erryday drivin fancy cars no moe livin hard

nigga :smokin:

and it would help sell the iphone23423432 too.

“now with beats audio, only $949”

We didn’t forget. We just didn’t even know or gave a shit to find out.

Wonder who is losing a job soon in Apple when they find out they just paid a black guy that kinda cash

Oh yeah, the whole “set up my lemonade stand” routine. I know what that’s code for!

You’re going to let him pee in your mouth for a dollar.

That’s why they bought it. They’re trying to compete with Spotify in the streaming services market, but it’s probably too little too late.

This reminds me. Sony used to have headphones you’d see all over the place, like Walmart and everything. They were $20 or so. God damn, did those things pound. Never tried Beats. I’d only have use for 'phones in the gym…And I’d be wearing big headphones in the gym.

I don’t like ear buds, that said. But I use them.

I get my earphones from RiteAid for $10. Even though they begin to malfunction every 3 months they only cost me $10.

I do have a pair of Beats that were a gift. If I don’t need to cancel noise I don’t use em. Giant headphones are too uncomfortable. Feels like I’m wearing a motorcycle helmet.
