Suge Knight eat your fake gangster heart out. Contrary to popular belief, Andre Young aka- Dr. Dre did not walk away from Death Row records empty handed. When he decided to leave partner Suge Knight and the master recordings to some of the biggest recordings in hip hop history, Dr. Dre left with one thing and one thing only, the mother of all master plans. He immediately executed his plan, giving us Eminem 50 Cent, Beats Electronics (Beats by Dre) and now he gives us the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy at the University of Southern California. Will he stop?
With a visionary gift from music-industry leaders Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young, the University of Southern California is establishing a new academy to inspire innovative, entrepreneurial thought in business, design, marketing and the arts.
