I thought Rakim left because of creative differences between him and dre??
Busta doesn't pay that money back. The label invested in Busta's album, if it doesn't make money, it's the labels fault, not Bustas.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Dre also bombed with "The Wash". Jimmy let Dre do whatever he wanted, and Dre did "The Wash" which was a little pet project with his buddy Snoop, and it bombed, and Dre did "Truth Hurts" because he loves R&B, it bombed too, and now Jimmy Iovine (again) calls all the shots about who gets released and what song gets released, and what order the songs are in and all of that shit. Jimmy Iovine runs Interscope, Dre is behind creativity but has nothing to do with the business side of things which includes keeping and terminating artists.
Uh... you'd THINK that's how it would be, but unfortunately you'd be wrong. The label likely advanced Busta a ton of money like Infinite said, and if it doesn't do enough for him to be paid back, then Busta will end up owing them money.Ask Courtney Love, she'll explain the whole thing for you. This is another reason everybody always wants to go Independent
anothe rimportant fact is, the album has 5 dre beats, dre is an in house producer of his own label... i highly doubt dre charged busta 250 k each beat....

I think Jimmy can dictate some of the creative control, but I don't think Dre has that much opposition to what Jimmy does.
