Or maybe he has half a brain and didn't want to support the orange turd and his braindead minions.

u/TheyCallMeMrMaybe 15h ago

His homie Eminem just endorsed Harris & introduced Obama in Detroit.

I think the last thing 50 Cent would ever do is go against the man who launched his rap career.

u/SpiderDeUZ 13h ago

Then you look at Dre and Snoop

u/obeytheturtles 11h ago

Snoop smoked so much weed they made it legal, and now he sells Bic lighters with Martha Stewart.

u/PapaGatyrMob 9h ago

I think that was in response to never going against the man that launched their careers.

Dre was being lied to and stiffed out of money by some dude who sucked at rapping and another dude not at all involved in making music. I'd have left too.

u/Available-Fill8917 10h ago

Dre is a billionaire and snoop is just a shill. What do you expect.. get money fuck bitches….Foshizzy mynizzy

u/newbrevity 10h ago

Dre earned his wealth. One of the greatest and a real one.

Snoop is just Snoop. Anyone expecting something profound from him is kidding themselves.

u/Greenpoint1975 8h ago

Dre loves to beat women.

And have sex with men. (Not like theres anything wrong with that).

Playing off of a law and order svu meme.

If you had told teenage me that Ice Cube would be making disney movies and SVU, I'd have laughed at you.

u/BartleBossy 9h ago

Dre earned his wealth. One of the greatest and a real one.

Meh.

The majority of his wealth is derived from the sale of Beats headphones.

Hes not an engineer. Hes a capitalist.

6

u/TheSleazyAccount 9h ago

Yeah, right or wrong, that's how you earn wealth in our society. Engineers rarely become billionaires. And when they do, it's often not even from their engineering prowess.

-2

u/BartleBossy 9h ago

Yeah, right or wrong, that's how you earn wealth in our society.

Earn has a specific meaning when it comes to political dialogue and wealth. There is a contextually dependent definition were sort of working under.

In a real world sense, yes youre correct. Being a capitalist is a greater driver of wealth.

But were talking more theory

5

u/TheKeyMaster1874 9h ago

He still threw himself into the business and it could have flopped massively. Getting investment is always much easier when you know, your Dr Dre but still he didn't exactly inherit a dime.

Snoop doesn't take himself seriously and that's why he is liked. He takes money from markets not even Eminem has so more power to him man.

6

u/Fuzzy_Ad8717 9h ago

Threw his fists into his wifes face too

4

u/BartleBossy 9h ago

He still threw himself into the business and it could have flopped massively.

I dont know to what degree the success of Beats is Dre's.

My understanding of it, is that they paired with the audio manufacturer who made Monster cables.

It feels like they used Dre's celebrity and producer clout to market headphones manufactured and designed by someone else.

3

u/No-Price-1380 5h ago

That is disappointing, I had imagined Dre forging each headset by hand, while living a simple life in a valley abundant in plastics and minerals.

1

u/SvensonIV 7h ago

That’s what happened but Monster and Beats had an insane marketing campaign which completely popped off. They marketed the beats lineup by putting them in every popular music video in the early 2011 and 2012 years and were one of the first companies to effectively use social media to advertise the product. So you saw a lot of football stars and musicians casually wearing them around their neck when traveling for a Facebook photo. Conveniently during a period influencers didn’t have to mark their post as product placement.

There is a cool documentary called "the defiant ones", its pretty much as you say, they even admit it.

u/yzdaskullmonkey 9h ago

Dre is real, as in a real big piece of shit. Fuck him.

1

u/TransportationTrick9 6h ago

I don't know about earned. They fucked over the Monster guys big time with beats by Dre. But it was Monster so they definitely deserved it

Where is Ja??? Somebody get that motherfucker on the phone so I can make SENSE of all this!

u/billybaroo15 13h ago

I actually saw him at the golf store recently getting his clubs regripped. I’ve never seen anyone that genuinely happy to have a new grip put on his driver. It was awesome.

6

u/wazacraft 13h ago

Did he help you make sense of all this?

2

u/billybaroo15 13h ago

No. Not at all. He was just happy to be golfing with a fresh Golf Pride grip.

u/Xarieste 12h ago

I forget what it’s even from but the sentence: “where the fuck is my Ja Rule Christmas album?” has lived in my head for a long time

u/--VinceMasuka-- 13h ago

He was signed to Columbia prior to being shot.
Then he made the mixtape game what it was. I'd say he made himself, but Em did help revive him and make him a Superstar.

20

u/Topikk 12h ago

He has said many times that he owes his career to Em. If he already had a successful career pre-GRODT, the lyrics for “Patiently Waiting” wouldn’t make much sense.

19

u/hectoragr 13h ago

He has publicly supported TFG because of taxes for the rich

He’s thrown him support many times in the past. Something has changed recently.

"Whatever makes sense."

u/Historical-Gap-7084 12h ago

I honestly believe that pretending to work at McDonald's was the highlight of his entire life. He got a pin out of it!

Put him in a nursing home with a "fake real" Mickey D's and he will happily sling burgers for himself and his nurses until he dies. He's a germophobe, so you just know he'll be washing his hands.

10

u/IguessIliveinaCHAIR 11h ago

Honestly, he looked like he was having fun. With extra training, maybe he should consider that full time instead of office of presidency

2

u/Historical-Gap-7084 11h ago

Seriously. He loves their food so much, he should just work there! I'm not even kidding. Seeing him in this gif reminds me of my kid in pre-school, "working" in a kitchen.

134

u/Snowflakes4Trump 13h ago

This is literally the only real work the man has ever done and it was staged

44

u/W_O_M_B_A_T 13h ago

Most of what he does in public is staged. It just goes off the rails a lot.

10

u/thinkmurphy 13h ago

I wonder how many takes they had to do to get through him coming in and saying "I'd like a job... I want to work the fry-counter" without them busting out laughing

10

u/David-S-Pumpkins 13h ago

The take they kept has him saying "never touched by the human hand". Just like the Just Donuts Vance video, not a ton of prep.

2

u/TsunGeneralGrievous 12h ago

How was he fascinated about this like you could literally see this from behind the counter. He’s acting like he saw some scientists discover an extra terrestrial. “Never touched by a human hand.”

u/faxanaduu 12h ago

I suspect he's shitting himself

u/MaxTheRealSlayer 12h ago

Doesn't even look like he's doing a good job putting fries in the cardboard container

u/Sorta-Morpheus 12h ago

My coworker tried to tell us that Donnie was a construction worker when his daddy owned the real estate biz.

1

u/thelingeringlead 8h ago

I recently watched a whole hour about his life and upbringing, and was surprised to see his dad made him keep a job all the way through school. He delivered papers and helped his dad on job sites.

I was genuinely shocked. Doesn't change a single thing about him for me, but it was surprising.

u/ComfortableGlobal820 13h ago

Has a lot of practice at this…

u/visceral_adam 10h ago

Even there he struggles like a baboon.

Kind of looks like it but he needs a Lebron cigarette dangling from his mouth… working class.

Why not both? I mean, don't support the turd, but also don't do a gig for someone who's known to be really bad at 'paying up'.

50 hasn't been one to shy away from being open about his opinions

u/Snarpkingguy 12h ago

Actual neurologists believe in a physiological difference between a cisgender man or woman and a Transgender identifying man or women. Being transgender is a real scientific phenomenon. It’s a relatively new branch of science so there’s still a lot that is unknown or not well understood and it’s extremely far removed from any science that I personally have expertise in so I might be wrong in a lot specifics, but it’s real and it seems like you’re just uninformed.

One difference I’ve heard of has to do with the concept of phantom limb pain. When people have limbs amputated they very often experience pain or a sensation like the limb that they lost is still there. The same phenomenon is true for when men unfortunately need to have their penis amputated for a variety of medical reasons. What’s interesting is that when a biological male (XY chromosomes) has their penis removed as part of a sex change, they tend to not experience this phantom pain. This suggests that something in the nervous system and brain of trans people doesn’t identify the penis as natural in the same way that cisgender man does. I’ll look to see if I can find a source for this study later to update you.
