Apple Buys Beats By Dre, Beats Electronics, For 3 Billion
“Apple Buys Beats By Dre, Beats Electronics, For 3 Billion” is huge news for Dr. Dre and for Apple.
Dr. Dre used his neighborhood and background to produce music that defined an era. What everyone is thinking, but not saying, about this deal is “a black man just became a billionaire?” And the answer is YES. Dre was smart enough to team up with Jimmy Ione, and the rest is history.
Apple has built its business on a keen understanding of the interplay of culture, tech, and entertainment. It’s only logical that it was Apple who did this deal.
Congratulations to both. Steve Jobs would be proud! – vlog produced by Zennie Abraham Zennie62 Blog http://ift.tt/1d6iMwr – youtube video via IFTTT
