The first of this four part mini series focuses on how Dr Dre and his management team brokered the biggest deal for a hip hop artist ever. Which included selling his Beatz headphone company to apple. Not without many hiccups including a drunken announcement on Facebook which left the deal hanging in the balance. Great commentary from a stellar celebrity cast, a must see for any music fan.
