Beats By Dre Cuts The Cord

At the end of this year, Beats By Dre and Monster Cable will part ways. Jimmy Iovine says it was always in the plan to create a strong viable company that could stand on it's own. The original deal was a 5 year deal that is now coming to a close. In that time frame, not only have they become the most popular headphone company but now they have several other products from the Beats Box, their deal with Chrysler, a deal with HP and HTC buying a majority share of 51% for $300 million dollars. The brand has grown so quickly that Iovine says they have to be nimble. However, this was always the plan. The company seems to thrive. The first Beats store opened in SOHO back November. Jimmy Iovine had a lot to say except who they'll be working with. They're pretty tight lipped about that. It's reported that Beats is responsible for more than $500 million of the headphone sales.

Whoo Kid Debuts New Dr. Dre and Slim The Mobster

Dr. Dre always has been and will always be the business. He has done more in this genre than any other. He has truly been like Quincy Jones with the number of lives he's had in this industry. The World Class Wreckin Crew, NWA, Death Row Era, his solo career, Aftermath, his Beats venture and so much more. He is amazing. For those that say Dre fell off. Check out his new joint with Slim The Mobster.

Beats Store Is Open

The Beats By Dre store is open and off the chain. Despite 50 Cents announcement of his new Sync By 50 line, the BBD line continues to plow through the market. They were first to introduce the new high end line. Since then, many have tried to chase them down including Fif's Sleek now Sync, Luda's Soul line and more. Honestly, Sennheiser makes the headphones for both BBD and Soul and Monster makes the cables/connection. However, BBD doesn't stop there. They are now introducing a wireless option like Fif's Sync line as well as advanced controls on the headphone of the Solo's. They have also introduced more colors and signature series as well. Check out the video of their store opening with their Social Media Manager Karen Cavil.

Diddy To Release a Booty Book?

Ok Diddy has been one hell of a promoter. We all have seen what he has done over the past two decades with artist and alcohol, to name a few. But this is a whole new direction and I'm not so sure that it's a good one either. It is reported that Puff will release a book with pictures of asses. Really?!?! Why? It's reported that he's even partnering with Jimmy Iovine of Interscope Records and highly influential and talented fashion photographer, Raphael Mazzucco. What could be so intriguing about this book that people would want to buy it. I could see it generating interests to see it but to buy it as a coffee table staple, I don't think so. Besides which, what makes us trust Diddy as the "Ass-ologist", the end all be all in judging booty's. Oh wait, I forgot that he liked it when Superhead put her finger in his butt when they smashed, my badd! Okay, maybe he knows a little something about it. The book is set to be released after Diddy's birthday in November.

Interscope Is Under The Scope

It is now being reported that Interscope Records is now being investigated for facilitating drug transports and transactions. At the center of the whole investigation is Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond. This is the same man who is on the run from the FBI for being the ringleader of a major cocaine drug ring. In addition, he has been fingered as the one who ordered the first shooting of Tupac Shakur at Quad Studios in NY. Pac was on his way to do a feature on Biggies album when he was robbed and shot. Things seemed shady causing Tupac to suspect that Biggie and Puff were involved. Realistically, someone else that Pac had a relationship with that went sour was present at the studio that night and knew he was on his way, Jimmy Rosemond. It seems as though everything is closing in on this former record exec on the run. Interscope was been brought into the picture when authorities acted on a tip and arrested Khalil Abdullah, a Rosemond associate, who pleaded guilty to narcotics trafficking and obstruction of justice charges. DEA agents say they confiscated a case containing $800,000 at recording studio arranged by Rosemonds road manager. Interscope releases a statement that they have no involvement or any knowledge of such activities taking place.

Is The Game In Need Of Some Cash Money?

The Game announced recently that he will probably sign with Cash Money when his deal is up with Interscope. He says that he and Birdman have had a long relationship that reaches back before he dropped the "Documentary". When asked why Cash Money, Game said "they winning right now. I'm winning and I wanna be down with a crew that's winning". Game was saying that right now they are trying to find a way to make the Cash Money/Black Wall Steet deal work. However, Game is confident that by the time it's necessary, the deal will get worked out. Maybe that explains why he recently dissed Jay on the song "Uncle Otis". Game is starting to seem real pathetic these days. He's damn near lying on the floor kicking and screaming like a baby for attention. Three minutes ago he took to twitter to publicly humiliate himself by begging to reunite with G-Unit. Every now and then he takes a lame ass shot at "The Throne" and now this. (SMH)
