50 Cent and Carmelo Anthony Talk Their New Headphones, the Beats Sale, and the Elusive Cool

On the scenic penthouse roof deck of the posh Gansevoort Hotel, the NBA star Carmelo Anthony and the rapper 50 Cent are sitting next to each other on a too-low bench, and they are both laughing at me. The question: If you were running Beats, would you have taken Apple’s $3.2 billion buyout offer? “I mean, yeah, that’s a no-brainer,” 50 Cent said, practically nudging Anthony with his elbow. Chuckles aside, Apple’s surprise acquisition of the Dr. Dre/Jimmy Iovine headphone empire Beats has special implications for Anthony and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
