what was the original roster? if I remember correctly A Keys was the front artist...wasn't Whitney still in the mix too

 

[Mac Casper]

Dr. Dre was hiding at Clive Davis's place after leaving Death Row


So my question is . . Was Clive Davis involved in Blackstreet?

yeah Alicia Keys broke The Bank at J Records. .she sold 30 mill Worldwide but The Company was 60 mill in The hole

Cause Clive overspends like he did with Diddy (gave him 50 mill to finance Bad Boy) and Whitney got 100 mill.....BMG/RCA kept whitney cause Clive couldnt cover The debt
