Are these guys someone should know?

Are these guys someone should know?

Texan, are you being sarcastic?
Both of these guys are the reason Rap, Hip Hop and all of the top recording artists of thet genre is the way it is today. Iovine started out knowing nothing about music and has become almost a billionaire by working his butt off becoming one of the best known recording engineers and marketers in the music world. Dr Dre, mmmm…….The Defiant Ones is a very well made four part documentary currently running on HBO about their lives.

Jimmy Iovine
Record producer

James Iovine is a record producer. He is best known as the co-founder of Interscope Records and chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M. James Iovine (/ˈaɪ.əviːn/; ˈjovine; born March 11, 1953)[1] is a record producer. He is best known as the co-founder of Interscope Records and chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M.[2] In 2006, Iovine teamed with Dr. Dre to found Beats Electronics, a company which produces audio products and operated a now defunct music streaming service. The company was purchased by Apple for $3 billion in May 2014.[3]

Early life and training

James Iovine was born in Brooklyn, New York. As a teenager, Iovine was introduced to music production after he met a songwriter who got him a job cleaning a recording studio. He began working as a studio professional around 1972.[4] Since the start of his career, Iovine has been involved in the production of more than 250 albums.

Andre Romelle Young, better known by his stage name Dr. Dre, is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur. He is the founder and current CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics.

Andre Romelle Young[1]:1 (born February 18, 1965),[2] better known by his stage name Dr. Dre, is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur. He is the founder and current CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics. Dre was previously the co-owner of, and an artist on, Death Row Records. He has produced albums for and overseen the careers of many rappers, including 2Pac, The D.O.C., Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Xzibit, Knoc-turn'al, 50 Cent, The Game and Kendrick Lamar. He is credited as a key figure in the popularization of West Coast G-funk, a style of rap music characterized as synthesizer-based with slow, heavy beats. As of 2017 he is the third richest figure in hip hop according to Forbes with a net worth of $740 million.[3]

Earlier this month, word leaked that Apple was on the verge of acquiring Beats for $3.2 billion dollars--making the latter's wealthy cofounders, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, even wealthier.

The news led some outlets to speculate that both men would become billionaires immediately upon its consummation. But in our June 16th issue, we pegged Iovine's net worth at $970 million, about $170 million ahead of Dr. Dre. Here's why we're not ready to pronounce either a billionaire just yet.

First of all, Apple's acquisition of Beats hasn't been completed. Though it's still likely to happen by most accounts, the deal has taken much longer to finish than initially anticipated, and a recent report by the New York Post suggests the final purchase price may be $3 billion, not $3.2 billion.

Then there's the matter of Uncle Sam. Even if the deal goes through at $3.2 billion, it's unclear how much will be paid in Apple stock and how much will be paid in cash. The computer giant is said to be interested in keeping Beats' cofounders around as executives; some observers have suggested that Apple thinks Iovine could be the next Steve Jobs.

That would seem to suggest a payout packed with Apple stock, which could provide greater incentive for both men to stick around. But Apple is sitting on a whopping $150 billion in cash, or roughly 10% of all corporate cash held by nonfinancial companies, and may view its stock as more valuable to hold onto. Uncle Sam would take a hefty tax bite out of a cash payment.

When calculating Iovine's net worth at $970 million, we took a middle-ground approach. More specifically, we assumed a half-cash, half-stock payout. Our internal estimates placed his net worth at $800 million earlier this year, based on a $2 billion valuation of Beats, of which he holds 25%.

Though a sale for $3.2 billion would increase the value of that stake from $500 million to $800 million, the capital gains hit from the cash portion of the sale--likely 33% for federal and state taxes--would lop off about $130 million, leaving Iovine with an increase of $170 million and a net worth of $970 million.

By similar logic, the deal would boost Dr. Dre's net worth from a recent $550 million to somewhere between $700 million and $800 million, making him hip-hop's richest man.

If Apple does indeed buy Beats for $3.2 billion, and the payment is mostly in stock, Iovine may well become a billionaire in the near future, and Dre perhaps a bit further down the line. But given the uncertainty of the cash/stock breakdown and the final sale price, we feel it's too early to make that designation just yet.

Iovine and Dre have worked with and mentored too many artists to list here –Springsteen comes to mind, Stevie Nicks,Gwen Stefani, blah, blah, Google them it’s a very interesting read or watch HBO

To be fair, neither Suge or Iovine had/have any musical talent. Just the behind the scenes guys.

 

[RF2044]

Jimmy Iovine had a very interesting interview on Howard Stern about two weeks ago. He's worked with a LOT of big time talents.

 

[CusefanATL]

Are these guys someone should know?

Iovine produced or worked for the Stones, tom petty, Stevie Nicks (dated too), the boss, Segar, and plenty of other non rappers.

He was also on American Idol

 

[Finwad32]

The series is a great watch. Loved it.

 

[GFTakedown]

Pretty amazing story about Lovine purchasing a song from Springsteen that he didn't want to use and had Patti Smith perform it and write lyrics for it!

Rewrote, actually. She used some of Bruce's lyrics, and some of her own. As huge a Bruce fan as I am, I actually prefer hers.

 

[GFTakedown]

Rewrote, actually. She used some of Bruce's lyrics, and some of her own. As huge a Bruce fan as I am, I actually prefer hers.

What's amazing is this song was remade again by the 10,000 Maniac in 93 and it did better on the Billboard 100 than Patti Smith's.

 

[jgeorge322]

To be fair, neither Suge or Iovine had/have any musical talent. Just the behind the scenes guys.

To be fair, dumb comment. Watch the show. Iovine was sought out by some of the greatest artists of past 50 years to produce their music.

 

[jgeorge322]

Bruce wrote the hook, patti the lyrics. This is discussed in the documentary.

Theres another story about iovine convincing petty to give stevie nicks i think A song he didnt want and nix turned it into a huge hit. Came out same time as petty's song the waiting but got beat out by nix. Hurt petty and iovines relationship for awhile. Iovine also used to hide nicks in his basement while petty recorded.

 

[OrangeDW]

To be fair, dumb comment. Watch the show. Iovine was sought out by some of the greatest artists of past 50 years to produce their music.

Eh, kinda. Suge was just a goon. Jimmy I guess did produce more than I realized back in the day, though he was just along for the ride when it comes to the type of music that he really made money on.

Dre (and Warren G and Daz and Quik and Mel-Man and Storch and Hi-Tek and...etc) did all the musical work there.

For sure on suge but jimmy did a lot of producing work prior to dre and got rich off it.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

To be fair, dumb comment. Watch the show. Iovine was sought out by some of the greatest artists of past 50 years to produce their music.

To be fair, some people don't care enough about music to know the behind the scenes people. Lots of people who aren't big sports fans know coach K. They don't know his assistant.

If you mean he had all the music, and lyrics for the 'chorus' and Patti wrote the verses, then you are correct. I'm probably parsing too much here

 

[money3189]

The film was great. Brought back a lot of good memories. Great to see people come from nothing, make mistakes along the way but come out on top. They went from being music engineers to billionaire businessmen. Dr Dre pretty much created a west coast rap sound and scene. Especially when rap music was dominated by NYC/East coast, the music he made blew my mind. Mixure of 70's funk/rock with gangsta elements to it. Jimmy was big time. He had a special way of influencing and getting the best out of people. He had music stars believing in everything he said. They didnt question him, they trusted him and he got results. That's like telling Tom Brady he's not good enough then you help hm win two more super bowls while playing at a higher level. Again, the two are not perfect, they made alot of bad decisions but they learned from it and made huge contributions to the music industry.

 

[money3189]

For sure on suge but jimmy did a lot of producing work prior to dre and got rich off it.

Suge just bullied people. He got the start up money for death row by threatening Vanilla Ice for his Icc Ice Baby royalites. Scumbag

That is what i meant.

Anyone with the Sirius App should replay the interview. Well worth the listen. Those are Howard's best interviews, IMHO. The people you don't necessarily know about but should.

rumor is he did the same with Dre's music. THey kind of referenced it when dre talked about it being too toxic so he left them with everything and started fresh. but i always heard it was by a much more threatening nature than the docu let on.

I think they talk more about it in the 'Behind The Music' with Dr. Dre from years ago
