You don't have to be quiet, but just shut the fuck up.
Are we good?
Let's cut to the fucking chase, man.
Let's cut to the chase. - Boom.
Does my hair look particularly terrible?
I do ask for the right to be able to spit.
So you got, like, 45?
Sure.
I love food and wine. - Dre, take two.
Take two? What do you mean, "Take two"?
February, Stevie Nicks.
This is a whole, like, art to this.
You want me to scoot this way? Is that better for the light?
I'll put this in the movie. I'll put all this shit in the movie.
That's why I'm trying to tell 'em to go.
Oh, jeez.
When is this coming out? - Huh? Say again?
When this gonna be out?
It should be out next year.
Describe that relationship, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine.
Okay, cool. We're talking about Jimmy and Dr. Dre.
The relationship between Jimmy and Dre.
April 1st, 2014,
a rumor leaks that Apple is buying Beats.
So, I call Jimmy like, "Yo, is this for real?"
"No, Will, those are rumors."
"It's not real."
Right?
April Fool's!
Excuse me. Excuse me.
What's the matter? -Take it off.
I called Dre. I said, "Dre,
"Remember De Niro's character, Jimmy, in Goodfellas"
"When Jimmy told the guys,"
"Don't buy any furs."
"Don't buy cars. Don't get showy'?"
He said, "Yeah?"
I said, "Don't move this weekend."
"Don't do anything."
He says, "I gotcha."
That Friday night... Puff calls me.
"Yo, man, is this true or not, this deal?"
"You made a deal with Apple, and you're not telling me?"
I said, "Look, I'm talking to a bunch of people about the company."
"You gotta respect me, know that I can't talk to you about it."
Now that was about eight o'clock.
Two in the morning,
Puff calls me and starts yelling over the phone.
"You wouldn't tell me? You wouldn't tell your friend?"
"And yet Dr. Dre and Tyrese are talking about it on Facebook."
I said, "Where?"
He said, "Facebook!" I said, "I... I gotta go."
The homey is drunk off a Heinekens.
The homey drunk off a Hein...
I look, he said, "Stop searching, motherfucker!"
We had gone for, like, six weeks without it leaking.
Billionaire boys' club, for real, homey.
Huh? Fix your face. - Yeah, you know that.
Fix your face. - You know that.
This thing is leaked. This thing is loud.
Oh, shit, the Forbes's list just changed.
They need... Hey, it came out, like, two weeks ago.
They need to update the Forbes's list. Shit just changed.
In a big way.
Oh my. - Understand that.
Oh my. - The first billionaire in hip-hop,
right here from the motherfucking West Coast, believe me.
Oh! Oh shit, nigga.
Fuck y'all, niggas. What the fuck y'all niggas talking about?
Nigga, what? What y'all niggas talking about?
Tyrese fucked that up.
This nigga was so drunk and high,
I don't know what the fuck he was, but he went, "Yeah, nigga,"
"The first motherfucking deal you nailed, nigga."
"From Compton, nigga. Yeah, nigga."
And then Tyrese crip walks.
And I'm... I can only imagine Jimmy at that point in time.
"No, this can't be!"
"This... No! This can't..."
"What, are you crazy?"
Crazy. It was like,
"What is this?"
How can this possibly be the case?"
We start off this Friday morning
with some California Love.
Hip-hop mogul and headphone tycoon, Dr. Dre,
boasting in a video on Facebook with friend Tyrese Gibson.
The biggest deal in its history,
