Living in this digital media/social networking era, how the hell did this guy manage to stay away and hidden ? Not once did this dude want to make a dime off of the stories, it seems like to me in this interview hes more than happy to share his thoughts. Seems like hes told these stories before also and is now telling someone with spot on stratigic questions.

Real or fake.....

So even at the beginning people in the studio were being physically assaulted?  What a horrible atmosphere to try and work in, I'm not surprised Dre felt the need to leave after he'd seen enough.
I'd really like someone in the know at DR and who was there at the time to break down the whole Sam Sneed beating story because it's been one of those legendary DR tales for quite some time now, yet no one has really told the full story as of yet.

along wit all the stories of other former death row artists that may have been beat up too.

I remember Nate Dogg sayin' that some rapper came up to Suge Knight and said he that wanted to be signed to Death Row Records. Suge said "Okay, but if we don't like what we're hearin', we gonna fuck you up". I think he only had the chance to say a few words and got up beat up. That's straight from Nate Dogg's mouth.

Really interesting interview. Deathrow was an insane place to be at. Interesting things he says

a) Dre wanted to leave the label right away when 2pac came out of jail and they signed him.
b) They were recording 6-7 songs a day
c) If deathrow didn't want you on the row anymore, they would send a security team to your house to get your chain.

i speculate Dre wanted to leave after Tupac was signed probably as a last straw. Probably not so much to do with Tupac but with Suge deciding to use 1 million dollars of company money to bail him out and sign him. To Dre it probably became obvious that it was no longer a joint venture, Suge was taking control and was literally out of control. Around that time Suge did the whole dissing Puffy at Source awards.
