When Forbes rolls out it's next list of hip hop's wealthiest moguls, Dr. Dre's name will be at the top of it. Apple is reportedly set to acquire Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion. Forbes estimates the deal will push Dre's net worth to $800 million.
"The first billionaire in hip hop right here from the motherfucking West Coast, believe it," Dre said in a new video.
The biggest asset of Beats would be the company’s streaming music service, which offers a much more thorough—and successful—social experience than iTunes," writes Gay Allen in Forbes. It’s advertised as ‘The right music for right now,’ using a very simple interface crafted especially for the mobile experience. Using the Beats iOS app, the user simply creates a ‘sentence’ explaining where they are, what they’re feeling and who they’re with. Beats then creates a playlist of the appropriate music. There are also additional paths to finding music, including by genre, artist playlist and curator. Once your music is playing, there are additional options to follow artists and explore their work, share playlists and comment on music….There’s no streaming music service so close to the ‘the scene’ than Beats. Incorporating the Beats technology into iTunes could generate a entirely new list of subscribers for the service, which now has over 800 million accounts.
The deal has not officially gone through yet, but it could be finalized by next week. Congrats to Dr. Dre for a job well done.

Written By Jay Balfour for BattleRap.com
In an exclusive interview with Battle Rap, Big T touched on the nearly universal feeling amongst battle rapper of losing a match, his thoughts on the viability of battle rappers transitioning into the industry at large and why he thinks the industry should be monopolized by a catch-all league.
Remembering a battle between Conceited and Yung Ill, Big T recalled DNA speaking directly to Yung Ill after the bill about his obvious loss.
“Conceited battled Yung Ill, I think,” Big T said. “DNA walked on the stage right after the battle like, ‘You lost. You just lost. You just lost.’ And I’m thinking like, ‘I know he doesn’t wanna hear this.’ At the end of the day, it hurts. If you lose, it hurts bro. You lose a battle, you could almost always relate to where Eminem came from, where he was like, he lost a battle and he would be messed up. I remember when I was younger, 16. I entered a Freestyle Friday joint in Chicago and I lost a battle and I was sick for like a week like somebody died. It really messed me up. But I came back and I started killing. Don’t nobody want that feeling of losing.”
During the interview, Big T also explained his view that within a year or two a large league may have the ability to consolidate the industry.
“Battle Rap falling off? Nah,” he said. “It’s getting saturated. If that’s considered falling off, yeah. I just think Battle Rap should be monopolized right now. Basically, it’s so big to the point where it should be an NBA. It’s just this…It’s too many people battling on different leagues. That’s how I feel. I think we’re maybe a year or two away from that. Somebody needs to get the big idea. These millions of views, I’m a person. I battle. I would have more fame and notoriety than a person that just put out a record. It’s getting very close. Very close.”
Speaking more generally about the much-talked about transition for battle rappers from that arena to the mainstream, Big T alluded to a stigma holding many performers back.
“Who’s to say these battle rappers can’t make music?” he said. “These Jay Z’s, [Eminem’s], these people were battle rappers. But you know what, they had culture. All it is is somebody to show people the structure. I think it’s a stigma because they scared ‘cause we could come for their spot. We could come up. Like 50 Cent told me, ‘Ya’ll could come up with the lyrics all day. Once ya’ll find that right, it’s gon’ be over.’ They gon’ put the stigma up. They gon’ put this force-field that they blinding people with that’s not true at all. It’s good. It’s undeniable. That’s all I gotta say.”

Two photos of 13-year old Willow Smith in bed with 20-year old former Hannah Montana actor Moises Arias has a lot of people wondering what's going on.
In the photos Moises is shirtless. Both he and Willow, the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith look quite comfortable.
Moises posted the photos on his Instagram account, but later deleted them after getting lots of negative feedback. He's reportedly friends with Willow's 15-year old brother Jaden
There's been no public statement from Moises or Willow on the pics.
**UPDATE** May 8
Jada Pinkett Smith has responded to the controversial photo of her daughter Willow in bed with Moises Arias. In Jada's opinion we're all projecting our own dirty thoughts into an innocent situation.
"Here's the deal," she said via TMZ on Wednesday at LAX Airport. "There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You're acting like covert pedophiles and that's not cool."
