| Beat by Dre |
It’s as though anything Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre touches turns to gold: The dynamic duo marked epic-level success when they introduced Eminem to the music world 15 years ago, and their lucrative Beats by Dre business reached blockbuster heights following reports that Apple plans to buy the headphones’ parent company, Beats Electronics, for $3.2 billion.
But the music industry veterans have had a string of triumphs, and we take a look at why we never seem to never forget about Dre and Iovine.
Dre is also responsible for bringing forth rap king Snoop Dogg, rap king Eminem, rap king 50 Cent and rising rap prince Kendrick Lamar.
Outside of those acts, beats by Dre — literally — include tracks like Tupac’s classic “California Love,” Eve and Gwen Stefani’s Grammy-winning “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” and Mary J. Blige’s only song to hit No. 1, the party jam “Family Affair.” Dr. Dre is a doctor in the music industry, and Iovine is as needed as an IV. Iovine, who co-founded Interscope Records, is the chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M, where the roster includes U2, Madonna, Robin Thicke, the Black Eyed Peas, Maroon 5 and Lady Gaga, who released a line of headphones via Beats by Dre.
