it was recently revealed by Forbes that Dr Dre is highest paid hip hop musician and it appears that the rap mogul is attempting to save as much of his earnings as possible.
Dr. Dre, born Andre Young, recently based three of his companies in West Cork, Ireland, to help reduce his tax liability.
According to the Irish Examiner,
Dr. Dre recently established three companies in Clonakilty, Co Cork,
Ireland with a specialty firm named O’Mahony Donnelly, in order to take
advantage of country’s corporate tax ratecheck his statement."since I established O’Mahony Donnelly here in 2000 we’ve worked with a
number of multinational corporations to get them set up in Ireland,”
said Michael O’Mahony. “This has become a great niche for our firm.”
The mogul listed three businesses which have addresses listed with
O’Mahony Donnelly, a firm that specializes in helping clients like Dr.
Dre.
Much of the $100 million that Dr. Dre raked in last year came through
his Beats Electronics empire, which spans computers, headphones and
mobile phones

NATIONAL FAME AND INTERNATIONAL FAME
one thing i have figured out about upcoming artist is that they aim too big,its good to aim good but according to the wise we start from a step to a step.due to what is happening to international celebrities,many want to be like them.as a music artist or any career you entail,make sure you make your awareness in rural hood,urban hood,then your city, then your country,after all this then you are set for the world.remember fame doesn't come from a day thing,its takes a whole lot of process to get along with the game.in any career you are make sure you make your awareness in your country before international.if you aim international first ,then it depends how strong your destiny is cos its a process called JUMP OFF and you really gonna have problems but believe yourself,then try these steps above.wish y'all good luck
HOW A RECORD LABEL MARKET A NEW ARTIST
If you’ve always wondered how a major label goes about building a
fanbase for a new artist - as far as their overarching philosophy on it -
there it was!
The statement came from Eric Snowden, VP of Digital Creative and Technology at Atlantic Records (Warner Music). Here’s the paragraph:
The statement came from Eric Snowden, VP of Digital Creative and Technology at Atlantic Records (Warner Music). Here’s the paragraph:
The promotional strategy is also different for new artists than for established ones, Snowden said. “At the beginning of an artist’s career, we want to keep the barrier to entry very low,” he said, and that may mean publishing more free content and sharing it more widely. As an artist becomes more popular, “we ask a little bit more from fans and try to drive them to our own wholly owned properties more.”For some reading this, it’s a “duh” kind-of-thing. But, I thought there are those out there for whom understanding this will help them become more clear in how to market their music. So the major label’s approach is two-fold:
- When you’re unknown, make it easy for people to engage (content is free, content is everywhere).
- When you become more popular, you can ask for more from people (content is paid, content is exclusive).
ONLINE MUSIC MARKETING
Reaching out to fans is imperative in music industry.It’s that connection that can give them a reason to buy and support
your music. Utilizing social media and having a strong online presence
makes connecting with fans much more achievable. Below are some good
case studies of bands that found success through an online campaign. I
encourage musicians to review these examples and pay attention to the
elements that made them successful. Then think about how to implement
those strategies into your own marketing plans.
Interactive Music Video Using Google Street View
Arcade Fire utilized HTML5 to create an interactive music video for “We Used to Wait.” Users are prompted to enter the address of their childhood home at the start of the video. While watching the video, scenes from your old neighborhood are pulled in using Google street view. The elements of new technology, interactivity, nostalgia, experimentation, and personalization all aided in making this video a huge hit. Think about those factors for your next campaign.just give it a try.

ANNE HATHAWAY ACCIDENTALLY EXPOSE HERSELF WHILE ALIGHTING FROM HER CAR
It was obviously an unfortunate incident. It kind of made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment and rather than delete it, and do the decent thing, sells it. And I’m sorry that we live in a culture that com modifies sexuality of unwilling participants.life is just crazy,i don't really know why there is no love

LIL WAYNE AND YMCMB COME FACE TO FACE WITH FABULOUS
THere is this rumor going that lil weezy and his crew dont like fabulous,there were celebrities galore in Miami at the Beats by Dre Art Basel
affair presented by Hennessy V.S. After getting their art fix during the
day at Art Basel and their basketball fix watching the NY Knicks
demolish the Miami Heat, the celebs jetted over to Mokai. Beats
ambassador Lil’ Wayne was in the house, along with his YMCMB family,
including Birdman, Mack Maine, and Cortez Bryant.a source tells us that thing got pretty interesting when Fabolous arrived at
the venue, and it was announced that he was going to perform. “All of a
sudden, you could see Birdman and Wayne whispering about something, they
seemed concerned.”
Fabolous has a song out called “So NY”, where the hook says – “I’m so
NY Weezy probably don’t like me.” Would Fab dare perform this in Miami,
in front of Li’ Wayne and his crew? Although it would make a hell of a
story, that certainly did not happen last night. We hear that Fab
performed a few of his hits, including,”You Be Killin em’” and several
new tracks from his latest mixtape, The Soul Tape 2.celebrites life is .....................but thumbs up to them all.
