"Dr. Dre comes in fifth on Forbes' prestigious list.Dr. Dre is the only Hip Hop artist to make this year's Highest-Paid Celebrities list, according to Forbes (via HHNM).With Oprah Winfrey coming in at number one, the West Coast veteran comes in fifth on the list with a staggering $110 million in earnings. Dre netted that amount when handset maker HTC paid $300 million for a 51 percent stake in his Beats by Dr. Dre company last August. He also made money from music and royalties, but that "pales" in comparison to the money made from his Beats deal.Other celebs on the list include producer Jerry Bruckheimer at number four ($115 million), Steven spielberg at number three ($130 million) and Michael Bay ($160 million)."
No wonder Detox is at the bottom of his priorities list lol.

good for him, but this is the reason why he ain't makin detox...
no shit...if he needed money, "Detox" woulda been out a long time ago. and it woulda been (one of the) the greatest album(s) of all time. no hunger=no motivation...no motivation=no classics
Quote from: doggfather on August 29, 2012, 03:26:56 AMgood for him, but this is the reason why he ain't makin detox...Ice Cube say something like this: "How you think, what Dre will sell CD for 10$ or headphones for 400$?"TRUE
Plus, you can't download a pair of headphones for free...Remember that Eminem video where Em and Dre are superheroes and they stop a kid from burning a CD of mp3s...And Dre was one of the guys who took on Napster...So he probably thought, well if you're going to download all my work for free, fuck y'all, I'll put my name to something that can't be downloaded...I reckon he'll only ever put Detox out once he's more confident that it won't just get bootlegged into oblivion,because he obviously is concerned about that from what he's done in the past like the Em video and the Napster thing...
