My cuzzo and I were conversing, and some how we got on NWA, which led us to Dre and Cubes' finances. I made the assumption that Dre is worth more by far, but my cuzzo mentioned all of Cube's movie ventures /production/directing; which tend to be more lucrative than albums. Just curious on y'all thoughts, and please vote at the poll.

Its hard to tell cause Cube can make all this money from rap & movies but look at Dre,he's not only making money off himself (producing,solo albums) but he's also making money off artists signed to his label & he's had a few short appearences in some movies.

Dr.Dre has been in the Forbes every year since 2000,He as made 56 million in 2000,33 million in 2001,22 million in 2002,18 million in 2003 and he also made 12 million last year and we all now the last two years Dre didn't do much excepct produce a few singles.Cube only made Forbes once in that was back in 2003 with 25 million and even Forbes said that was his first time on there.Dre gets profits from Shady records and G-Unit records plus he owns his own masters thats hard to top.
-
forget just rap music, Dr. Dre makes more than almost everyone else in the music industry. I also heard he's the second highest paid performer after paul mccartney.

Cube makes way more than $5 million a movie, considering he has his own production company, which correct me if I'm wrong, raked in tens of millions from the Barbershop movies alone. Plus Cube has been doin movies for a while. As for Dre, yes he makes a shitload of money off of 50, em, game, and the spot productions he does, however, the reason Cube prolly makes more is that Jimmy Iovine eats off of what Dre makes since he owns at least 50% of Aftermath.
-
Cube doen't own the rights to all those movies they pay him to make them on a small budget,he gets around 2 to 5 million a picture,and as for Dre he has one of the best contract his the business he make around 7 dollars a album and Jimmy probably gets the rest.If Cube had the kind of money why can't get a good record contract and put some of that millions to those album like Dre can instead of working with the same producers,I'm pretty sure making an album is hard and expansive and Cube don't have that kind of money the blow its better for him stick to what he knows have some movie studio pay him to do a movie its a win win for Cube an easy 5 million.
-
i say Dr. Dre worth more cuase he produces for his label, shady & gunit and others and gets money from album sales Etc.
-
Dr. Dre

Ice Cube no doubt. He's making top movies, shit he doesnt even care to make albums no more..
Dre is getting millions too, but he's sharing the cake with a lot of people, and he's paying a lot of people too.

Dre on this one... Cube got bank too and he's a star but, Dre is hip hop..
-
definitely dre ... even though cube is in the movie business which usually brings a higher paycheck if the movies are successful. The movie checks are especially higher compared to an artist signed on a record label plus I remember reading dre's salary were nine figures. :o
