A thread dedicated to HipHop artists who used the fame and money they received from hip hop music, to pursue other ventures and gain personal wealth.
I present to you: Eric B
Eric B. (born Louis Eric Barrier) was the producer and DJ for the rap duo Eric B. & Rakim.
Eric B. tried his hand at rapping in 1995 and released a self-titled album. The album was co-written with Freddie Foxxx.
In 1996, Eric B. was picked to head Suge Knight's Death Row East label (an extension of Death Row Records).
Eric is now the owner of 47 restaurants throughout the U.S. including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, Washington DC, and most recently, Pennsylvania. Residing in a 57,000 sq. ft. palatial manor, Eric has become the ideological musician turned entrepreneur turned royalty and has truly taken his hit song Eric B. is President to fruition. With a car collection featuring seven Rolls Royce vehicles, including the famed Rolls Royce featured on the cover of Follow the Leader, Eric's vehicular menagerie features a Rolls Royce Phantom, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and many other sought-after cars and trucks.
Recently featured on MTV Cribs, Eric B's home, with a staff of 14 grounds keepers, chefs, maids, and security staff, was influenced by oriental design.
In 2007 Eric was honored by the President of the United States with an invitation to the White House where he met President George W. Bush, the First Lady and other dignitaries.
