Dr. Dre Suing Death Row Records

Yesterday in Los Angeles Federal Court, Dr.Dre  filed a lawsuit against Death Row Records for unpaid royalties from his ’92 classic, The Chronic. Andre claims that he hasn’t received funds since he left the label in ’96 and that re-releases and greatest hits were released without his consent. The doc is seeking over $75,000 in damages. Damn, what an aftermath.

    He’s only suing for $75,000? I figure dre makes twice that about every 2 hours with those headphones

  9. Um YEah says:

    haha
    do u see eminem featured? SNOOP? GAME?
    u dont even got 50 on there, or jay-z who are all supposed to be on that album.
    so na, send that tracklist back to a fake ass youtube “intsrumental & Track List”

  10. teejay says:

    That tracklist seems pretty realistic other than the nate dogg tracks, isn’t he still paralyzed from that stroke?

    and where’s ashanti?

  11. So Icy Boi! says:

    Yall niggaz gay making up fake tracklists ….this aint no Game post…. @Um YEah u must be a real groupie if u think Jay-Z ,50 Cent, Eminem, gonna be on The Game album …IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN ….dat must be yo secret fantasy list?

  12. gooch says:

    75,000 come on dre that gotta be missing some zeros from somewhere

  13. BK says:

    Nah man that 75K sounds more lyk a battle of principles n not money. Lol at whoever sed Em, Fif n Jay Z gna b on that game album…SMH

  14. Shawn says:

    ^Co-sign…. $75K is not a lot of money… Even for middle class people.
    But I’d just like to hear music.. Not rehashed shit from the 90’s… It’s bout be 20yrs since Chronic.

  15. BWS:D says:

    Um YEah is stupid as fuck !!
    didn’t u see i wrote red album !!! and its prob not the true one i just found on the net !!

  16. t-dub says:

    yea dude 75000$? thats it well back in the day that was alot of money so i suppose. that fake ass tracklist of the red album dont even got “better days” on it

  17. NotoriousRambo says:

    DRE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO ADD SOME ZEROS TO THAT AMOUNT I THINK HES OWNED 75 MILLION AT LEAST OR EVEN MORE CAUSE DEATHROW WAS WORTH HALF A BILLION AT ONE POINT AND DRE WAS A MAJOR PART OF IT’S RISE. JIMMY LOVINE AND TED FIELD GOT THE BRUNT OF THAT MONEY DO THE HISTORY PEOPLE

  18. Ellie says:

    After all this time he wants 75,000 dollars that is just beyond stupid. That is a car or mortgage payment for him. It makes no sense at all. At this point Dre should be able to buy back his own product and that fact that he can’t makes him sound mighty light in the financial department.

  19. koa29 says:

    @Ellie

    Cuz he dont feel like punishing them, he just wants whats really owed to him…sure he can do more, but he didnt

  20. Markoni says:

    This is only royalties for The Cronic what he’s asking for. That means he wants his percentage of all the income that came from it’s sales. Of course it’s a small amount since it didn’t sell a lot in period from ’96 till today. And there were re-releases and greatest hits compilations but considering all of it this is a fair amount.

    Dre doesn’t need this money and probably does this just to get some media attention as Detox might be coming soon, and also he want’s to show everyone he’s not afraid of Suge anymore. Though if he was to ask for everythinf Suge owes him it would be at least 10-20 millions and Suge owed Pac about 5 millions too.
