Rumored Chronic Re-Lit Bonus songs are FALSE!!!

[Efrain]

How many times do people need telling?! Dre has a legal injunction over that material being released, it cant be without his permission...dont ever expect it to come out legally or officially.

That was the previous agreement between Death Row and Dr Dre---however, the very nature of filling for bankruptcy, or legal insolvency, means all previous agreements, performances and executory contracts become (generally) unenforceable once a bankruptcy case has been filed. The idea being bankruptcy seeks to relieve the debtors contractual obligations citing insolvency-based termination due to financial condition (of the debtor).

This is why Amaru freaked the fuck out when Death Row filed Bankruptcy and filed 150,000 motions staying their anniversary complaint that Death Row had no right to release, license, sell or distribute Tupac's unreleased music even though they have it in their possession.

So with respect to the unreleased Dre recordings, there is no current contractual agreement precluding their release like there was back in 2000 (with The Chronic 2000) but there are the legalities about releasing the music without agreement. I really don't know enough about entertainment law but I'm assuming compensation needs to be agreed upon and some form of Songwriter Agreement or Producer Agreement needs to be signed. All that is well within Dre's ability to do.

What's going on here is Dre either 1) doesn't want unreleased music that he didn't feel was up to his standards being released or 2) doesn't want new unreleased music stealing Detox's thunder. That is reasonable for Dre's own tracks pre-detox I'll give him that. But I swear to God if he pulls this shit after Detox is released on the unreleased Doggystyle songs I'll drive to LA and pull a Suge Knight on his ass myself. We're getting Next Episode come hell or high water.

Suge is gone and Dre stands to make good money off his unreleased stuff so give me one good reason that these shouldnt be released. They wont affect his work with Detox one bit and they require zero effort from Dre other than signing a few papers. How will this hurt Dre's career?

[Soopafly DPGC]

With the big rerelease of The Chronic, and if they are able to release a few unreleased Dre tracks, it might create some buzz for Detox.  It would most likely help Dre more than it would hurt him to have these unreleased songs come out.  It would probably be in Dre's best interest to let wideawake release them...but he won't.

This isn't about money or creating a buzz or whatever this is about principles, leaving the past behind and being consistent.

Dr. Dre is finished with DR he always has been ever since he left the label and the fact that new people "own" DR now won't change a damn thing about it. He is concentrating on the present and the future why would he be bothered to go back. He simply has no interest in his old DR unreleased material being released so no such thing will happen end of story.

Can you link me to the Dre interview where he says all those things?

Check Dre's career for the past 13 years and do the math.

Dude hasnt done much since 2000. Hes lazy as hell like Pac said.

[sms130]

I knew those tracks listed was false but, I reallly do believe that this maybe the right time 4 unreleased recordings 2 b released. I think if Dre does "green light" his unreleased recordings 2 be release, that it won't hurt him at all in the long run. I think it will re-lit The Chronic and creat a bigger buzz 4 Detox. I think it would be good 2 release this stuff now. I mean, Dr. Dre could start over like the rest of the former artist and rebuild a relationship with the label. Heck even Jimmy could work with them in some sort. I think it would be good. Dr. Dre participation in the re-release of The Chronic will be a great start 4 Death Row and a great way 2 get fans ready 4 Detox.

lol i the find the reactions of the bitter stans funny as hell, haha! 
yet i get called a Dre stan from time to time 

chronic leftovers or not, i think i'm definitely going to order this new release: it looks like Wideawake really tries to make it worth the money.

By default the bankruptcy would not render the legalities around the music useless but, as you say, may well mean they are less-stable as the writs would be against DR and its parent label...having said that Dre has worked hard to ensure this material does NOT leak so im sure if there were any loopholes he has seeked to close them and ensure the material remains unreleased

[Sir Petey]

if this isnt gonna contain anything relevent to dre fans (new production, verses) then why bother?


why not just re release dogg food and add these songs to that where they would actually fit...

that soccer mom at wide awake needs to hire some one with an ear to the street that has a familiarity with the catalog.

[MILFSTA]

^^lmfao at your sig haha damn

[Giesuz]

would wideawake be in legal trouble if they drop the dre songs for free as a download goodie?

[woof]

WIDE AWAKE THE NEW FACE OF DEATH ROW RECORDS
