You ever wonder how much Dre really makes?
« on: March 07, 2002, 01:33:15 AM »
One of hip hop’s favorite subject matters is money. Whether it's underground cats talking about not having it, mainstream rappers acting like they have it or rappers who actually have it and let us know all about it. Do you ever wonder how much they really make? Well, Dr. Dre, producer extraordinaire and Interscope Records executive made a whole lot in the year 2001, 31.5 million to be exact.

Dre made Forbes Magazine’s list for the highest earning celebrities, he ranked 21st. Not too bad for a man who started out selling tapes out the back of his car and making his name by DJing house parties.

31,5$ and DETOX and The Eminem Show is soon dropping...
And keep in mind that this guy was born and raised in the Ghetto, and God knows what he did back in the day to survive... man I´m pride of Dr. Dre, he´s my hero...  ;)

What about Snoop? I wonder how much money he´d made last year, with all his movies and shit?

[L.O.C.]
Gårdsdagen efterlod mig sådan temmelig sløj
Men vi har en tank fuld af benzin og kabine fuld af røg
Klokken er ved at være halvsen
Vinduet nede og tager hjørnet langs kantstenen
Hey Stoddah sæt lige farten ned
For panserne hænger altid ud det samme sted
Og jeg gider ikke noget pis fra de svin i dag
Så det er ved næste kryds at vi drejer af
Fuck hvad de gamle med-bilister siger
Kan knap nok se gennem ruden og fuck at skifte op fra første gear
Hey so skal du ikke med
Hvis ikke så ved du vist godt hvad du kan æde

WRONG!

I'm not dissing the independent artists, but even though they may make more money per album and such... their fan  base is anything but big... so yes, they make more money off of an album sale, but they don't get any way near the amount of money a mainstream artist makes... just because of their fan base.

Ish, that's a lot.

I remember years back reading in the Guiness Record-book, that the richest music-producer is Master P.
Back then he had 70$ mill. at disposal.

If Dre invests his money wisely he must surpass that sooner or l8er, at least when Rakim/Eminem/Truth Hurts etc. is dropping.
