What does hip-hop's 'first billionaire' have that Apple wants?
"Oh Shit, the Forbes list just changed." The words come from Tyrese Gibson about a minute into a video posted to (and since pulled from) Facebook just a few hours ago. Gibson is talking about Dr. Dre, who stands behind him, arm draped over his shoulder. Dre himself then addresses the camera directly, boasting "The first billionaire in hip-hop, right here." High spirits (and, be warned, very colorful language) pepper the video thanks to "all the Heinekens" that have evidently been drunk. Celebrations? If you'd just secured a $3.2 billion deal for your company, you'd probably splash out on a case of dutch courage or two, too. Sure, this is still not actual confirmation, but it's the nearest thing to public acknowledgement of the buyout yet. Why, then, do many still feel like the deal makes no sense?
