You can't knock the hustle...he's been screaming that for the last 2 decades...and month after month his aquisitions are definitely making that statement true!

If Def Jam deicdes to part ways... fuck it... he'll just get his money somewhere else... damn!

How can u hate on a black man doing big things like that?
He's making it possible for artists like 50 and TI and maybe even Wayne to get big endorsement deals, and appeal to Corporate America as more than just "entertainment".

Although we're not seeing any of the money that Hov makes off of these deals...

It DOES enable us to get our feet in the doorways of a lot of ventures that we normally would be shut down at the steps.

I repeat....good look for us ALL!

Hola Hovito!

"too fuckin rich" .... you sound a bit like Styles P when he was talking to 50 on the radio.

24 karat and platinum floors is the minimum in Las Vegas.
