USC President C.L Max Nikias announced today that record producer Jimmy Iovine and rapper Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young) will be giving the school $70 million to create a new undergraduate program called the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation.

He forgot about Dre in that one.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Macklemore's latest hit inspired him

 

[Skyzard]

Awesome stuff.

 

[evilromero]

Kids get a community center. Who cares if it's for PR?

I assume a major part of the funding goes towards the instructors, which is more important than the facility.

"Since apple is forcing me to make this alb, I wont keep this blood money"

where the fk is Detox......

https://music.yahoo.com/blogs/live-nation/dr--dre-to-release-first-album-in-16-years---detox--wasn-t-good-enough-175639108.html

Dre broke the news on his Beats 1 Radio Show The Pharmacy and also revealed Detox’s fate, saying, “I didn't like it. It wasn't good. The record, it just wasn't good…I worked my ass off on it, and I don't think I did a good enough job.”

 

[soundahfekz]

There are plenty of actual billionaires and millionaires who do charity without the PR.

and there are plenty of people who'd erroneously say they don't give back.


If someone wants to let it be known they made a contribution who cares? It doesn't change the end result for the recipient(s).

 

[CDV13]

where the fk is Detox......

No Detox for you!.....Or any of us.

Compton: A Soundtrack.

Tracklist looks very intriguing though!

 

[nortonff]

He's claiming Compton but he moved to Riverside.

Yeah he should donate it to Riverside.

 

[Chainsawkitten]

We shouldn't praise people for doing charitable acts for PR. That would send the message that doing charitable work makes you popular. Then lots of people and corporations who don't really want to contribute to charity might do so anyhow. That'd be awful.

 

[Frank Serpico]

Isnt he nearly a billionaire from the sale of Beats? Nice of him but sounds more like a PR push for the movie and album.

How much do you give you charity to shit on someone who's giving his money away?

 

[Mr. X]

He can give more?
The hell kind of reaction?

 

[Omegasquash]

Unexpected, and good on him. I hope this makes a difference in the lives of those he's helping out and. Giving something good to kids that don't have much isn't ever a bad thing.

Where's the Kim gif when you need it.

 

[Squalor]

He's only giving $1 million, and none of it is going to me?

That's weak, Dre. You can do better.

 

[Nappuccino]

Do some research.

Yeah, Fifty's broke. He's not gonna donate any time soon.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Why do some ppl always have to be so negative. This is a good thing Dr Dre is doing.

 

[riotous]

He said it was nice of him. How is that shitting on him?

 

[JDSN]

Dr Dre donating all salt to internet people.

 

[Eos]

Good on him

 

[Frank Serpico]

He said it was nice of him. How is that shitting on him?

Calls someone giving away his money to charity a PR stunt, that's an interesting way to say someone is nice

 

[norm9]

That's nice of Dre, but on his old album cover he was a she thang.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Yep, it'd be cool if Dre can jump start more philanthropic endeavors from the rap community and get clowns like 50 to put their money and energy to better use.

Maybe Money Mayweather can donate to a Women's health center.

 

[GravityMan]

That's cool of Dr. Dre. Thumbs up.

I'm sure you'd be a lot of fun at parties...*rolleyes*

 

[Lebron]

Quality stuff. Good on him

You're like those Ghostbusters visiting sicks kids for PR nuts.

 

[see5harp]

He definitely shouldn't give any money to USC. That's a damn university that has no business asking for handouts. Fucking campus already is like walking through the gates of heaven (in the middle of a pretty ghetto ass area). At least donate it to UCLA or some state school

 

[Rastafarian42]

Great thing to hear giving charity is always a good thing.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Why the fuck would Dre need good PR lol. Anyway that's cool of him.

This, detox could have come out whenever, Compton had to come out before the movie release and preferably right before to maximize hype

I'll buy the album and pretend I played a part in this.

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

I loved the shit out of Dr. Dre when I was in gradeschool. Haven't gone back since, but ah hell, if this is for a good cause, i'll give his new album a try.

I'd like to branch out musically from metal/hard rock anyways.

Straight Outta Compton: Stay in Compton

 

[Zyzyxxz]

"artist" royalties? What bullsiht. First of all nobody buys albums anymore except for Fuhrer Taylor Swift because she forces it on you.

Second royalties on albums are worth jackshit, everyone here on GAF should know "artistis" don't make shit on albums which is why they tour to make real money.

How many thousands of pennies will this make for a kids center? Dre could just fund that shit a million times over easily without some stupid arbitrary requirement.

He's claiming Compton but he moved to Riverside.

Lol what?

How?

I thought he just bought some mansion in LA.

Why would he move to Riverside

Ah okay.

I'm not familiar with his music, was just lurking the thread, saw the comment and wondered why anyone would move there if they could live anywhere.

Thanks though.

he has no obligation to do shit for anyone in the first place

Good. He's making truckloads of cash selling the story of Compton. It's the right thing to do to give back to the neighborhood your pimping.
