If an artist doesn't go platinum, he drops him or her!!! He was the fucking executive producer of Truth's album, and the reason of the this album flopping was the bad promotion and production. He was always talking about how great she was.

But wait it's not Dr. Dre's fault, it's Iovine!!! Get tha fuck out, it's his fucking label. And what also sucked, was that he didn't releases Hittman's album. His reason was: there wasn't enough interesst in Hittman from the public. I know one thing, if he released his album, it defenately would've been at least platinum, and than Hittman would have at least made some money, same thing for King T. 2001 was 7 times platinum with Hittman all over the album, do you really think he wouldn't have gone platinum.

How many artists have released an album on Aftermath in 7 years: Dre, Eminem, Truth Hurts and 50 cent. Ok, 50 cent is a commercial succes, but Hittman is a better rapper by far. My opinion is that Dre is only interested in getting as much money as possible. I really hope Rakim will gett his album released, otherwise it would be a humiliation for the legend Rakim.

And don't call me a hater, because Dre's music is my favourite, but I don't know if he is such a good label CEO

Iovine has a bigger share in Aftermath cause dre sold
part of his share to Iovine. I wouldn't blame dre for
some of flops that came from Aftermath like Truth
Hurts cause Interscope does the promotions for the
albums so the are to blame in my opinion, also it was
Iovine who pulled Hittmans album and dropped him
from the label.

I can't understand why people hate on dre for the way he runs aftermath. We don't know everything that's going on there. We'll never know the full story, so who cares? Just let the man do his job.

Jimmy and Steve run the show. Dre just gets the talent and runs everything musicwise. Same with Eminem and Shady. If Jimmy and Steve wants Obie off Shady, he's gone cause all Shady artists are Interscope artists.

Ok, I understand what y'all saying, and I also know that we don't know shit about what's happening there, but I have the feeling that Dr.Dre could do more for his artist. It's a shame that Jimmy and Steve run Aftermath.

But Dr.Dre's music without doubt the best!!!
