Selling Syllables

I'd like to point out an unlikely song called "Syllables," which couples legendary rappers Jay-Z, Eminem, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre all on one track to talk about how much the music industry has changed. "Now we don't even know what are hits, is it the beat or is it the chorus, is it the finger snap or the same 808 clap" is my favorite takeaway line (808 is in reference to the legendary Roland drum machine, click here for a demonstration), while Jay-Z talks about tying his album in with a reality show.

Are musicians selling songs, name recognition, magazine sales, ringtones, movies or what? There was a phase a couple years ago in which musicians from Gwen Stefani to Jay-Z made bank off of clothing lines but that may have just been a fad in response to the decline in record sales associated with filesharing.
