Yeah, dude is independently wealthy his damn self...being legally entitled to half of her estate isn't worth the realization that you're married to a whore...say fukk it, end it as quickly and cleanly as possible

Only if the truth came out. Guy was put on his place to not mess with mAaddy's earnings. Guy's film career could have been done for good!!

why is madonna popular. is it just me or does she have very little talent?

She hooked up with "pop" and ran away with it for ages, now this is like her last grand spell on milking the industry..and she's doing rather spectacularly for a writer/performer, not musician!

Her status is marketted to her dedicated fanship since the 80's, and never left them since.She has been gaining the new generation but not so much to be honest!

She has made some great pop songs in the past and also pushed the erotica movement controversially and maturely!

[eastside313]

Despite her massive expected take, Madonna still has a long way to go before she catches up to the undisputed top touring act of all time, the Rolling Stones, whose A Bigger Bang tour from 2005-2007 grossed more than $558 million, MTV reports

:sad:

[AskariSTL//So]

Shows what a career of exploiting black men and minorities will do for you...

Too bad she's so out of touch with hip hop that her crossover collabos nowadays sound like reheated 90's trash.

[Reggie Mantle]

:sad:


Wait those old f*cks are still touring? Thats beyond ridiculous. They came out in the 60's.

No it's not just you.

Her talent has nothing to do with music.

She just has her corporate game down pat.

She wrote the book on exploting controversy, minorities, family members, and gay folks to further record sales. Plus her biting of hip hop is legendary. Her entire early sound was stolen from producers like Teddy Riley.

Remember this is the chick who slept with Big Daddy Kane, Vanilla Ice, 2Pac, and many others in the industry hoping it would open up some new avenue for her career.

If she was black, people would just call her a groupie.

But as a white woman it means she's just "driven".

".

yeah the SEX BOOK, its photography and nothing less!
big daddy kane knew what he was getting into, the so called righteous asiatic black man huh>?lol
what the deal with the teddy riley story?
I remember he was in the documentary, in bed with madonna.

[highgrade]

minorities have nothing to do with it. she just happened to come along at the right time. she was big before the mp3 era, she kept her fans and now they are middle age and can afford to buy CDs and go to concerts, rather than having to dl from some random website. she switches up her style for damn near every album, and isnt constantly coked up.

her following is very loyal and for some reason gay people really like her.

[imam bomb]

*strikes a pose*
"theres nothing to it"

[Kingofkings]

Gross, its not the same thing as making..
If the concert costs 281 million dollars she will make one dollar.. But she might get 50-60 somewhere there.. Rollingstones grossed 558 million, but made 150 million dollars..

Some people would much rather leave with dignity. On another topic this goes to show you how apperciatve and respective fans(of other genders) are to the people that have paved the way. The Rolling Stones, Madonna, and many others are still getting that tour paper and they are in their 50s. Nobody is yelling for them to stop performing because their too old or stop making music. Who cares as long as the music is still good? Madonna is doing those monster because her fanbases arent as fickle as Hip Hop heads who in a dime of a hat would sh*t on the legends for the behalf of these flash in the pan corny ass rappers(like Souja Boy and Ice T).

When you have idiots like Remy Martin saying dumb sh*t like rappers should retire after 30 or these stupid young n!ggas trying to tell these old school heads like KRS, Big Daddy Kane, or Chuck D to ridiculously hang up the mic(Why if they still are making good music?) further tells me how unapperciatve hiphoppers are compared to fans of other genders.

Madonna changed her sound to whatever she thought was the latest trend, and she borrowed heavily from hip hop and R&B sound. But she was always a few years behind whatever was going on. She was fvcking Kane for tracks and influence when his career was no longer viable and did the same with Vanilla Ice. Later she was linked to 2Pac, after he had become famous and successful. Even DeVante Swing, and where is that dude now?

Her videos relied heavily on shock value, and used themes of interracial sex and homosexuality to generate controversy. Her book was in the same vein.

Years later when her image has changed and it is no longer convenient to be linked to hip hop for the purposes of furthering her career, she ****s on rap. Jumping on the bandwagon about rap being too disrespectful towards women, and even sh!tting on black men as a whole:

"I've never been treated more disrespectfully as a woman than by the Black men that I've dated."

She claimed that disrespecting women was a part of black culture, and part of how black men think.

:dry:

lol...besides the fact that hip hop live is nowhere near as big a draw as other genres, and has NEVER been so...you've concluded that out of the endless thousands of pop and rock acts to have ever performed, because a small handful of the absolute superlegends in their genre still generate big tour money...it is somehow indicative of how unappreciative hip hop fans are? Y'all have got to jump using absolute extreme conditions, and then treating them as if they were typical...Madonna isn't your average 50 year old pop star no more than Jay-Z is your typical 40 year old rapper...for every Rolling Stones there's a thousand random ass rock bands that nobody would pay a dime to go see perform today...most those huge metal bands from the 80's aren't selling platinum or selling out arenas on the regular anymore than KRS or Chuck D are...you think Pat Benatar could just out the blue go on tour today and gross hundreds of millions of dollars based on her "loyal and appreciative" fanbase?
