Dr. Dre suing Death Row for 3 million +

[TheRtist]

yes, this isnt from 1996.

Dr. Dre is seeking $3 million in royalties for material he worked on while at Death Row Records.

Dr. Dre is suing Death Row Records for more than $3 million in unpaid royalties, according to Radar Online.

The producer says that he is owed $1,200,386.57 in unpaid artist-producer royalties, $1,179,913 from digital sales and $676,444.44 for unpaid mechanical royalties. The digital sales amount is based on a judge’s suggestion after Dr. Dre lost a 2010 trademark infringement suit, the story says.

The Beats by Dre executive also said that Death Row did not honor a bonus that would bump his royalty rate to 20 percent from 18 percent.

Dr. Dre released his solo album, 1992's The Chronic, while on Death Row Records. He also worked in various capacities on Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle, Tha Dogg Pound’s Dogg Food and Tupac’s All Eyez On Me while with the imprint.

Headed by Marion “Suge” Knight after Dr. Dre left the label in the mid-1990s, Death Row Records was taken over in 2006 by WIDEawake, which bills itself as WIDEawake Death Row Entertainment, according to its website.

The legal documents from the lawsuit are available for review here.

Who owns Death Row now? This might've been smart to wait until Suge had no more power...

bytch you did TWO fukkin beats on a 27 track double disc. One was a recycled Dogg Pound joint and J Flexx wrote your verse on the other (California Love) and the Cali Love remix don't count because it was a straight jack sample from Kleer's "Intimate Connection"
