a game of bowling consists of ten frames . in each frame , the bowler will have two chances to knock down as many pins as possible with their bowling ball . in games with more than one bowler , as is common , every bowler will take their frame in a predetermined order before the next frame begins . if a bowler is able to knock down all ten pins with their first ball , he is awarded a strike . if the bowler is able to knock down all 10 pins with the two balls of a frame , it is known as a spare . bonus points are awarded for both of these , depending on what is scored in the next 2 balls ( for a strike ) or 1 ball ( for a spare ) . if the bowler knocks down all 10 pins in the tenth frame , the bowler is allowed to throw 3 balls for that frame . this allows for a potential of 12 strikes in a single game , and a maximum score of 300 points , a perfect game .
all teams will make the league playoffs . teams will be seeded based on the end of season standings . teams will advance by bowling a higher team score ( pins + individual player handicaps added to each game ) in the playoffs .

there are few l . a . venues more beautiful than highland park bowl at the moment . formerly a cherished music venue called mr . t ' s bowl , the 1933 group ( la cuevita , harlowe , idle hour ) took over the space in 2015 after the previous owner passed away , and began an extensive renovation process that would ultimately transform the space into a gorgeous , steampunk - esque bowling alley and bar . the details here are meticulous , from chandeliers made out of repurposed pinsetters to old bowling banners that line the alley ' s eight lanes . bowlers can wait out their turn on leather chesterfield sofas and order from a menu boasting neapolitan - style pizzas , craft cocktails and a rotating selection of local beers . behind the lanes , two bars provide plenty of space to hang even if you ' re not here for bowling . the price to rent a lane fluctuates between $ 50 and $ 70 for an hour , depending on the date and time , but with each lane holding up to six people , it ' s a solid—and standard—fee .

all star lanes , which looks straight out of the ' 70s , is the quintessential divey bowling alley . it ' s got 22 lanes with automatic scoring ( thanks , we ' re too drunk to do that on our own ) , plus pool tables , a video arcade , karaoke and a
cocktail lounge ,
which is putting it nicely . hungry ? check out the menu at the alley ' s adjacent restaurant ( complete with carpeted floor and plastic plates ) , broken up into four sections : chinese , mexican , american and pizza . here ' s the deal : it ' s all a little run - down and definitely a little silly . but that ' s what makes it fun—you won ' t find bottle service or fancy designer bowling shoes here , but everyone is having a good time ( on the cheap ) at a low - key spot where there ' s ( almost ) always a free lane and a friendly bartender . one downside ? this place sometimes smells like the inside of a bowling shoe . chalk it up to part of the authentic experience .
with an emphasis on deals and special offers , mfa is great for budget - bowlers . based in lewisham , this bowling alley has vintage vibes and a style that takes you straight back to childhood birthday parties . if you ' re looking to bowl it out after work , or if you ' re a tenpin - crazy night owl : it ' s £3 per game from 8pm - 11pm on friday and saturday .
today ' s swanky bowling alleys , often attached to resorts or hotels in popular cities , feature designer decor ; deejays , club music and wood dance floors ; flat - paneled projecter screens and plasma televisions and cozy retreats for snuggling . they have glittering bars with top shelf booze and champagne , dress codes and marquee chefs charged with creating gourmet menus - such as shrimp tempura with sesame seared ahi tuna , parmesan and truffle fontina macaroni and cheese and vegetarian enchiladas .
with london branches in brick lane , holborn , stratford and white city , all star lanes have really been bowling over the competition . most of the venues have a ' 50s americana style , but the newer venue at white city has gone for a more chic and contemporary miami - come - art - deco vibe . all star lanes also do bites to eat , so if you ' re likely to get hungry between swings , they ' ve got your back .
it ' s a concept that takes the idea of a standard driving range and transforms it into a high - end party atmosphere . the driving bays are much larger than a typical range with enough space for up to six people , similar to a bowling alley where a group can use a single lane . each bay has hd televisions with dining high - tops , while bars , billiards , shuffleboard , xbox connect , fire pits and other entertainment options fill the rest of the facility .
okay , so it ' s not the most modern bowling alley in the city and a visit necessitates a trip through what ' s surely one of the ugliest shopping centres on earth . still , this 26 - lane establishment must be tatty enough by now to qualify as ' vintage ' - and if nothing else , the prices are certainly right . students who pitch up on a monday or tuesday can bowl for just £3 . 45 a game and there are generous mid - week deals for everyone else , too .
that’s evolved into the bellevue collection : bellevue square , with some 200 retailers and restaurants ; bellevue place , with a hyatt regency hotel , office space and restaurants ; and lincoln square , which includes a westin hotel , restaurants , cinema , bowling alley , billiards parlor and home - focused retailers . lincoln square is currently in the middle of a $ 1 . 2 billion , 1 . 5 million - square - foot expansion that will include a w hotel , luxury apartments , an office tower , more retail and restaurants , a six - screen cinema and a parking garage .
newcastle brown ale today launched a new us advertising campaign titled ' no bollocks ' . the campaign marks the first time newcastle has invested in national tv ads , created by the brand ' s new agency of record , majority aussie - owned droga5 new york . shot on location in newcastle , england , the ads examine the brand ' s story , including its history , the glassware and the brewmaster . the
no bollocks
campaign launches with national tv spots beginning on april 2 . the media mix includes digital and in - bar advertising , and the campaign will also influence on - premise elements , events , social media and pr activities . view the brewer spot view the schooner glass spot view the schooner believe spot
as the oldest operating bowling alley in la county , this ' 50s style gem boasts just eight charming lanes , making it also la ' s quaintest . montrose bowl opened in 1936 , and has since served as the backdrop for an array of films and tv shows , including pleasantville and teen wolf . now , the alley specializes in private events , for those who like their classic american party games with a little nostalgia . though the facilities are certainly old school , their selection of 70 + beers from around the world certainly isn ' t . contact the alley to book your next party of 95 or fewer .

the g-unit clothing company is american clothing retailer established in 2003 when 50 cent teamed up with selman hasanaj and marc eckō the founder of eckō unltd .

to create a line of clothing and accessories by 50 cent and g-unit .

since its initial launch , the brand has generated $ 100 million in retail sales , although production of the line has ceased since 2009 , with tentative plans to re-launch .

50 cent ' s clothing company , g - unit clothing , has officially severed ties with its parent company , marc ecko enterprises , it was announced friday ( february 8 ) .
his once - sizable fortune boasted endorsement deals for such products as reebok , right guard and the aforementioned vitaminwater , as well as his own g - unit records and g - unit clothing company .
launched in spring 2003 , the g - unit clothing company unites two of the most successful and creative forces in hip hop culture . the g - unit clothing company is a line of clothing and accessories inspired by 50 cent’s raw image and die - hard personality , combined with the fashion sensibilities of marc ecko .
rumors swirled that the rapper ' s four - year - old clothing company was on its last leg with ecko , and on friday morning , staffers at g - unit clothing were notified that they would be let go .
copyright © 1999 - 2016 maydream , inc . parent company of adforum . com
sources close to g - unit clothing told mtv news on friday they first heard of the potential split just this week , on wednesday , as the rumors began . it wasn ' t until friday morning that employees were notified firsthand .
poor young buck . just as everyone started to forget about his embarrassing ousting from the g - unit camp , we learned yesterday that his clothing line , david brown , is calling it quits . to keep it 100 , we completely forgot dude had a clothing line , which he supposedly launched last april when things were a bit rosier for the nashville , tn native . but now that the entire country is hemorrhaging money quicker than ma $ e ' s time on g - unit , there ' s just no place for up - start clothing lines ran by unsigned hypes .
brooklyn mint created by : notorious b . i . g . founded : 1995 / 6
shop men ' s jeans , t - shirts , shoes , shirts and clothing online .
before he launched his rich & infamous clothing line , which is a generic clothing line re - branded with his logo and random bandanna designs , snoop launched his eponymous apparel line which basically consisted of re - branded t - shirts , jeans and sweatshirts . same ol & apos ; g thang .
the sum is in addition to the $ 17 million a federal judge ordered 50 to hand over to headphone manufacturer sleek audio after an arbitration hearing ruled that the g - unit records head copied the design of sleek audio’s product .
in addition to his record label , movie company , credit card company and toy line , master p decided to add clothing to his portfolio . he even designed face plates for pre - paid mobile phones he sold to match the pieces in the line . but when no limit records went bankrupt , everything else went with it . no worries , though , master p re - up & apos ; d and launched p . miller clothing which is still going strong at wal - mart . so , yeah , there & apos ; s that .
while dr dre is hip hop ' s most successful entrepreneur , he is not the first rapper to venture into his own commercial business . the growing firmament of
hip - hopreneurs
includes 50 cent who banked $ 100m when he sold his stake in water brand glacéau to coca - cola in 2008 and also has a g - unit clothing line and record label in his extensive commercial portfolio .
the key to the deal could lie in beats music , the sister company that runs a subscription music streaming service . it only began in january but already has 250 , 000 paying subscribers , according to apple , and it is this side of the company that is thought to have first piqued the buyer ' s interest .
recently , a commissioned g - unit showroom and office for 50 were placed in the marc ecko enterprises compound in new york . it ' s unknown as of press time whether 50 would continue to work out of the building . calls placed to representatives for marc ecko enterprises were not returned as of press time .
beats has a unique brand , it speaks to a nice young demographic , which is really interesting to marketers ,
says peter csathy , former president of musicmatch .
when i think about beats , i think about it as a lifestyle , i think of it as a media company , not just a hardware and music - focused company .
g - unit’s having the best week ever . at the very least , it’s the best week the southside collective has had in many years . after reuniting at summer jam on sunday , the unit released three remixes that had people pining for the days when the yayo dance was still a thing and 50 cent was the biggest rapper in the world . you remember those days , right ? sure you do . you must remember when 50 and g - unit was so poppin’ , that they could sell absolutely anything—sneakers , headbands , even baby clothes . we almost forgot about all of that until we came across some of their amazing ads , some of which featured the clique surrounded by inflamed motorcycles and kids practicing martial arts in a dojo . yeah… we don’t know , either . but they were great . take a look .
in order to feed his
lifestyle
, dmx started a clothing line to be sold at concerts and specialty shops . we can & apos ; t say we were as surprised as dmx to find out that no one wanted to dress like a transient crack head garbage man . x should have stuck to doggy clothing , doggy .
50 cent’s first business venture was in form of a ‘vitamin water’ drink in 2004 titled ‘formula 50’ . along with that , 50 cent has two film production companies wholly owned by him titled ‘g unit films’ and ‘cheetah vision’ indulged in producing low budget action thriller films . over the years , 50 cent has also invested in shares and bonds , which enabled him to secure millions of dollars over the years .
before talks even began with apple in march , dr dre raked in a reported $ 110m from beats in 2012 and the company has now expanded into audio systems for cars , computers and smartphones , as well as standalone speakers called beats pill .
but while the original 50 cent robbed people , the rapper got rich thanks to sharp business acumen . he invested early in vitaminwater , then made a reported $ 60 million to $ 100 million after the company was sold to coca - cola in 2007 .
this week has been an eventful one for 50 cent : he appeared on dj kay slay ' s satellite - radio show to refute claims he was kicking young buck out of the crew . the tennessee rap star didn ' t join the rest of the camp on a tour overseas recently , and when 50 dropped his latest mixtape , buck ' s contributions were limited . young buck also told a radio dj he was dismayed by the lack of communication at the time , but pledged his loyalty to g - unit .
but he & apos ; s not the first rapper to launch an anti - climactic clothing line , and we & apos ; re sure he won & apos ; t be the last . so in an attempt to dry mr . brown & apos ; s tears and show him that he & apos ; s no so alone afterall , we & apos ; re taking a look back at the history of failed clothing lines launched by rappers . pour a little liquor below . . .
sean
diddy
combs , known for his track
i get money
, has an estimated fortune of $ 700m generated in part by commercial ventures , including clothing line sean john , record label bad boy , premium vodka brand cîroc and multi - platform music channel revolt tv .
when outkast announced that they were going to launch their own clothing line , andre said that fans would be able to get
everything . . . the furs , the leathers . . . hats . . . everything .
but when it hit stores it looked like a rehashed enyce . it didn & apos ; t represent 3 stacks , the george clinton of hip hop style or big boi & apos ; s fly pimp stylings . it was just kinda boring . and they never wore it . rule # 1 of the celebrity clothing game : if you don & apos ; t wear your clothes , no one else will .
unit along with tony yayo and lloyd banks . the mixtape they produced titled ‘guess who’s back’ grabbed eminem and dr . dre’s attention and they signed 50 cent up immediately for their respective record labels shady records and aftermath entertainment . however , the mix tape was mostly 50 cent and his crew mocking other rappers while duplicating their music , but his talent showed and new york nightclubs started buzzing with them .
looking to capitalize on the success of be and be pt . 2 : finding forever , lonnie decided to get into full capitalist mode and team up with italian hat company la coppola storta on a line of high - end hats . we were excited for the complex cover star until we found out the hats that could best be described as
bohemian driving caps
were priced at $ 125 . come on . smarten up , com .
earlier this week , hip - hop news maven miss info reported on her web site that 50 would likely retain complete ownership of the brand and attempt to relaunch the line with another manufacturer . a similar situation occurred with eve ' s clothing line , fetish , and marc ecko enterprises . the female rap star ' s line , however , failed to garner much attention after the split .
unit titled ‘beg for mercy’ came in late 2003 to a widespread acclaim . in 2005 , 50 cent released his second official album titled ‘the massacre’ . for the following six weeks , the album held the top spot at the billboard 200 . in 2007 , 50 cent released his third album ‘curtis’ , taking the number 2 spot at the billboard 200 . the album was supposedly based on real life events witnessed by 50 cent as a kid .
looking to capitalize on the skull and crossbones rocker style that he and julez traded their throwbacks , girbaud jeans and vasque boots for , dipset / byrdgang capo started a clothing line presumably so he didn & apos ; t have to go far for his glittery glamor . strangely , as soon as jimmy & apos ; s music career took off , nostic disappeared & apos ; even on 125th st .
1999 was a good year for busta & apos ; he had two great albums under his belt , his flipmode imprint found a home at elektra and , like any other successful rapper , he was in the midst of dropping his own clothing line . according to busta , bushi meant :
japanese warrior ; brooklyn & apos ; s way of saying bourgeois ; a cool way of saying , & apos ; busta & apos ; s shit ! & apos ; and
couture meets the street .
sounds like a perfect match for anyone named spliff star .
even though he was black and ugly as ever , biggie still managed to stay dipped in the finest fashion labels . so it & apos ; s no wonder that his clothing line was going to be aimed at larger fellows that dreamed of being gucci & apos ; d down to the socks . unfortunately , big passed before the label had a chance to blow up . in 2005 , his mother and former managers mark pitts and wayne barrow tried to bring the name back , but by that time we had enough straight to marshalls / tj maxxx rapper lines to clothe the needy .

' it ' s not what people think it is , ' 50 says of buck ' s absence from recent tour , mixtape .
the partnership between 50 cent and ecko began in spring 2003 . as an exploding superstar , 50 entered into a number of business , including a partnership with reebok and , most famously , a stake in glacéau vitaminwater .
during the international tour , buck was scheduled to go on the young rich tour , that was the tour [ his manager ] sha money [ xl ] was putting together for him and rich boy ,
50 told kay slay .
i didn ' t know that didn ' t materialize while i was overseas , but that ' s why you didn ' t see buck overseas with us . and he was just in nashville while i was in new york the weekend we decided to put the tape together .
it just looks crazy because he wasn ' t there , then you come back and see the tape and he [ isn ' t on it ] , but it ' s not what people think it is ,

you will always find many teachers who graduate from colleges and universities every year . these teachers are faced with a certain degree of anxiety , and they are prone to making some mistakes during their first lessons . their teaching style is very different from that if the experienced teachers . the flowing are some of the mistakes made by these teachers
these teachers are known for taking tons of papers and book home . this means that they have little time for other activities . some of these teachers think that it is necessary to mark every piece of homework , class work , and project work . this is something that can be solved by emphasizing more on quality work instead of quantity . again , students should be held accountable for the work done . balancing your life will make you happier as a teacher .
new teachers use authoritative approach ( “you listen , i talk” ) . even if this might help you in building self - confidence , it is considered is a poor classroom management technique .
a student can easily differentiate between a well - organized lesson and a poor one . he or she can easily identify a new teacher . lack of proper classroom management can make a teacher appear more vulnerable . students love testing the limits of a new teacher .
the teaching business involves a lot of things . it is not just matter of how you survive in class . enrolling for professional development courses either online or offline can greatly enhance your teaching skills . joining a professional association can also help you .
new teachers feel guilty , and they will always try to keep off from their principals . they think that the principals are tracking them due to discipline issues . supportive principals are always ready to help their new teachers and encourage them .
it is always important to value your experiences and share them with the other teachers . this is one of the greatest ways of raising your confidence level . experienced teachers are always ready to learn new ideas . again this is another way of building your teaching career .
the new teacher is encouraged to keep a teaching journal in the first few years . this is meant to help them with the planning and reflective process .

fat joe wasn & apos ; t always a johnny - come - lately when it came to new trends . his fj560 line started with the best of intentions : fed up with the way blacks and latinos were sending their money outside of the community when they bought clothes , joe opened up a store called half - time and started accepting designs from local designers to sell in the store . what happened to fj560 ? we & apos ; re not sure , but we & apos ; re guessing armageddon , cuban link and tony sunshine could point us in the right direction .
with his stake in rocawear dead and gone , dame set out to start another empire . only this time he had no superstar rapper to pawn all the shit he was trying to sell , so the ceo line went the way of the roc box . remember the roc box ? didn & apos ; t think so .

curtis “50 cent” jackson didn’t actually feel the first round of bullets hit his legs . he was too consumed with dealing with the shock of it all .
even in his volatile neighborhood of south jamaica , queens , the may 2000 shooting that nearly took his life was brazen .
at 11 : 22 a . m . , in front of his grandmother’s home , the future rap superstar was greeted by a hail of gunfire while his young son was just steps away inside the house .
nine bullets connected , slicing through jackson’s left cheek , his arms , legs , chest , hands and hip . the queens native and his associate curtis brown — who was hit in the hand — didn’t wait around for the police or emts , instead driving directly to jamaica hospital .
“i was supposed to get shot , ” 50 cent told this reporter back in 2007 . he credited the experience with jump - starting his drive for success — from former crack dealer to one of hip - hop’s most bankable acts , selling nearly 30 million albums worldwide .
“i lost something in life that i didn’t find until after i was shot . initially , i was conditioned to believe in god . my grandparents took me to church every sunday … i lost that … along the way , but after taking nine , it was like , ‘how was that possible ? ’ ”
while plenty of rappers put up a tough front , 50 cent walks the walk . besides that myth - making shooting , his history is littered with vindictive actions against enemies — and even the occasional bystander .
things may have come to a head in july , when he filed for bankruptcy in connecticut .
blame it on living large — and brazenly reckless behavior . the bankruptcy filing comes on the heels of a court decision ordering him to pay $ 7 million to a woman whose sex tape he posted online without her consent . the impetus ? she dated his enemy .
according to the dvd “the infamous times — volume i : the original 50 cent , ” the rapper took his name from notorious brooklyn thief kelvin “50 cent” martin . vibe editor - in - chief datwon thomas — who featured the rapper on that magazine’s august cover — points out , “ [ jackson ] knew what he was doing when he took on that name . ”
“the original 50 cent was a gangster from fort greene , brooklyn , ” says thomas . “if you lived in brooklyn [ in the 1980s ] , you heard the name . he was … a powerful presence in the streets . ”
jackson borrowed not just martin’s name ( the latter died in 1987 ) , but also his tough - guy swagger . in fact , jackson’s shooting was related to the fearless lyrics of his 2000 song “ghetto qu’ran , ” which called out a local drug boss’s criminal exploits .
investigators believe the drug boss hired darryl “hommo” baum to assassinate 50 in retaliation for the song . 50 declined to press charges following the shooting , and baum himself was killed three weeks later . but that didn’t stop 50’s braggadocio .
on his first big hit , 2003’s “in da club , ” 50 boasted about “my crib , my cars , my pools , my jewels” as well as being “hit with a few shells but i don’t walk with a limp . ”
fans loved it , buying some 25 million copies of his albums between 2003 and 2009 . black eyed peas frontman urltoken says that , at that time , there were not many stars shining brighter than 50 .
“in america , the only rap artists that had 50 cent’s international reach were the black eyed peas , ” will . i . am , who recruited 50 for the remix of bep’s no . 1 single “boom boom pow , ” tells the post . “he and i would always bump into each other in italy , spain , portugal and germany . i don’t think people understand how huge 50 was [ internationally ] . ”
“50 cent made around $ 300 million in two years , ” says zack o’malley greenburg , forbes senior editor , who has frequently covered the rapper for forbes’ annual hip - hop cash kings list . “he has always been really good at profiting off whatever his situation is . he even marketed getting shot nine times ! ”
being shot didn’t turn 50 into an anti - gun advocate . he appeared on the cover of his 2002 mixtape “guess who’s back ? ” menacingly pointing a pistol . the image fed into the public perception of him as a take - no - prisoners badass .
“50 is an aggressive rapper , ” explains vanessa satten , editor - in - chief at xxl magazine . “you have this guy walking around in a bulletproof vest , backed by his crew and remaking other artists’ tracks . 50 basically said , ‘i can take your song and make it better than you [ did ] . ’ ”
among his public beefs have been verbal and physical altercations with rappers jadakiss and the game . a spat with ja rule led to 50 being stabbed in march 2000 by ja’s label mate black child .
but it’s his feud with rapper rick ross that’s about to do damage to 50’s bank account .
the two have traded jabs for years , with 50 singing , “i’m a f–k your life up for fun , ” and ross rapping that 50 is cheap : “curtis jackson baby - mama ain’t asking for a cent . ” now ross’s baby - mama has taken 50 to court — and won .
50 cent was ordered to pay lastonia leviston $ 7 million this past july for posting a sex tape online without leviston’s consent . the rapper bought the tape from the man in the video , maurice murray , and added his own voice - over narration — referring to leviston as a “slut” and mocking her physical appearance .
seemingly , the only connection 50 has to the woman is that she has a child with ross , his rival .
50 claimed that he had nothing to do with the video hitting the web . in late august , 50’s legal counsel alleged in a connecticut court that the rapper was the victim of a shakedown .
“ms . leviston wants her pound of flesh , ” his lawyer , james berman , said in filings . “it is not enough that she obtained a jury verdict and assessment of punitive damages … she wants to punish [ jackson ] by continuing to litigate against him in this bankruptcy case . ”
i was supposed to get shot . i lost something in life that i didn’t find until after i was shot .
“i hope he learned a lesson , ” an emotional leviston told the press after she won her case .
as a result , 50 promptly filed for bankruptcy . per forbes , his assets total $ 24 , 823 , 899 . 18 . the court rulings pushed his debt to $ 32 , 509 , 549 . 91 .
papers from us bankruptcy court show that 50 takes in over $ 185 , 000 a month from marketing and promotional deals , but spends $ 72 , 000 on his 18 - bedroom farmington , conn . , mansion — which he is reportedly looking to lease — in addition to $ 108 , 000 in other expenses .
in a surprising twist , though , 50 has claimed that the luxe trappings — bentleys and ferraris , private jets , flashy jewelry — he plays up on social media aren’t all they appear to be , and that he actually borrows or rents many of them .
though he admitted to buying a rolls - royce in july , he noted that he “took two others back . ”
court filings requested that details of an endorsement deal with effen vodka remain secret .
“no entertainer wants the terms of its endorsement contracts made public because … that disclosure would be disastrous by giving competitors an unfair advantage , ” the file stated .
asked about album earnings , 50 said he made only 10 cents a record . recent roles in movies “spy” and “southpaw” netted him $ 100 , 000 — not even enough for his monthly expenses .
the court , however , wasn’t buying it . 50 was promptly told to pay sleek audio and leviston .
the rapper’s latest studio album , 2014’s “animal ambition , ” has sold just under 200 , 000 copies . 50 moved five times that in his first week of release during his commercial peak .
but after cheating death and sparking a million - dollar label bidding war just when he seemed destined to become a mere hip - hop footnote , surviving bankruptcy and a few embarrassing headlines seems like a walk in the park .
back in 2000 , as his bullet - riddled body lay in a hospital bed , 50 was dropped by columbia records . he spent five months in physical therapy , relearning how to rhyme with his new bullet - inflected speech impediment .
“i think people that haven’t been in those environments , they might ask you to go to counseling , ” he told xxl in august 2003 when asked how he got through those trying times . “but that s–t is not really necessary for me . when i got out of the hospital , i was out of town for a little bit . i wouldn’t let people come see me in the hospital because i was bent up a little bit . i can’t let them see me in a compromising space . ”
“the [ reason ] that eminem and dr . dre signed him was based on the fact that 50 got up off his butt , released those mixtapes and made the industry take notice , ” vibe editor thomas says . “he didn’t have any cosigns after he was shot . everyone had left him . that alone should tell you you should never bet against 50 . ”

the takeover of beats electronics is the most expensive acquisition in apple’s history . photograph : diverseimages / chi modu / diverseimages / getty ima
dr dre be the name , still running the game ,
the artist once rapped . fifteen years on , the words have never rung truer . the confirmation that apple had finally agreed on wednesday night to pay $ 3bn ( £1 . 8bn ) for beats electronics , the headphone and speaker brand co - founded by the hip hop artist dr dre and record industry executive jimmy iovine , has sent ripples through the music industry .
not only is it the most expensive acquisition in apple ' s 38 - year history , it also confirms dr dre ' s status as rap ' s richest man – worth almost $ 1bn . known as the genius behind some of the biggest hip hop records ever produced , dr dre ' s formidable musical legacy includes launching the careers of eminem and 50 cent and working on albums by snoop dogg , the game and kendrick lamar .
yet the millionaire lifestyle was not one the rapper , otherwise known as andre romelle young , was born into . he started life in the tough los angeles suburb of compton to a mother who was only 16 years old when he was born . steering clear of the gang and gun violence that was rife in his school , the young dre eventually dropped out to pursue his career as a dj , rapper and later , the world ' s most influential hip - hop producer .
having co - foundedhis own music label in 1991 , death row records , which generated over £500m in revenue , dr dre was no stranger to the business world . however , his move into the commercial side of the industry reportedly came during a walk on a beach with iovine in 2006 , when the rapper was contemplating starting his own line of footwear . the story goes that iovine turned to dre and said ,
fuck sneakers . let ' s sell speakers
– and their beats empire was born .
the pair hooked up with audio firm monster to design and manufacture the beats headphones and , since then , have cornered the market in headphones . using dr dre ' s name and celebrity connections such as justin bieber and lady gaga , dr dre and iovine ensured their headphones became a must - have accessory .
people thought we were crazy ,
luke wood , beats ' chief executive , told time magazine this year .
they said the marketplace would never support a $ 300 headphone .
dan charnas , a former hip - hop record producer and author of the big payback : the history of the business of hip - hop , said the entrepreneurial spirit demonstrated by artists such as dr dre was
in the dna of hip hop
.
hip hop originally fostered entrepreneurialism because , without that culture , without people like russell simmons setting up their own ventures like def jam , nobody would ever have heard any of the music to begin with ,
he said .
people had to do a lot of this stuff on their own before the record industry opened their doors to hip hop artists . in the last 15 years , hip hop artists like jay - z and 50 cent have been venturing into consumer products so this deal is just a progression on from that .
yet , reviews of the fashionable headphones remain doubtful that they produce a billion - dollar sound quality and say they prioritise style over substance . in a recent guardian review , they were deemed
big bold showy headphones . . . with lacklustre sound
while what hi - fi said they were a
one - trick trendy pony
with sound that lacked detail or articulation .
we think these guys have a very rare talent ,
tim cook , apple ' s chief executive , said of iovine and dr dre ,
we love the subscription service that they built – we think it ' s the first subscription service that really got it right .
it ' s obvious apple don ' t need beats for the headphones . what apple is after is the streaming service , but what ' s interesting about that is that it is just a baby , it has no way got the subscribers and following of other music streaming services like spotify .
we ' ve seen how they ' ve tried launching their own services like genius and itunes radio which just haven ' t taken off so i think it shows apple ' s desperation to get into this market in a cool way without having to create their own system .
speaking to the wall street journal , doug morris , sony music entertainment ' s chief executive , said the deal would make apple
cool
again by uniting iovine ' s feel for
the culture of young people
with apple ' s
many millions of young peoples ' credit cards
.
apple was starting to lose their edge ,
added morris who , as a former chief executive of universal music , was once iovine ' s boss .
