Dr. Dre wants to buy Death Row?

[somp]

Hello.
I've been lurking around here for some time, but never had the intentions of posting anything.
However, I need som information on this.

This wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Row_Records_artists is about current and past artists on Death Row Records.
In the list "Past & Present Enemies of Death Row" Dr. Dre i listed as this:
 "Dr. Dre (Is considering buying Death Row records)"

Anyone heard anything about Dre considering buying Death Row? I cant find any information anywhere else.

If this was true, it would have been all over the internet.

Sounds like BS 2 me.

[Jip]

if he was to buy anything, he'd buy his own stuff
snoop would buy his own stuff
a smart person would buy pacs stuff(50 cent lol)

i hope it doesn´t happen coz Dre´d be taking several steps if he were to buy the Death Row name back. i do hope that he buys his music catalog back though but why would he want to go back to using the Death Row when he´s already established Aftermath as a household name?

Nostalgic reasons? Payback? Just because he can?

Yeah I could definitley see him doing that, although he does say he doesn't listen to is old stuff and whatever I could definitely see him wanting ownership of it.

I can't imagine Dre buying the company OR the catalogue. Of course owning that catalogue could make anybody a lot of money, but I just don't see Dre being that interested in his past shit to buy it for himself.

well you say that.. but someone posted recently claiming he'd already bought the rights to his work with WCWC..

people have been putting out work by Dre in compilations for years..

Dre isn't gonna buy the shit so he can listen to it himself.  He's gonna buy it and probably look into releasing some of it.  If he doesn't, someone will.  I'd say the likelihood that he does that and releases it is about 100 : 1, but it's possible.  Imagine if the DR catalogue was released and had numerous unreleased Dre / DPG tracks.  I'd pay top dollar.

dre said in an interview in BLAZE magazine..that he wanted to buy or help death row records because he didnt want to see something fail and die that he created.  the interview was done around 2000
