Tell him that there are those in the industry, such as myself  ;D who know that he, Mr. Pryce, and others were the main reason why Death Row was successful. It just wasn't the talent or Suge's dominance. In the immortal words of Paris...."I miss the days of old."

Ask him why Aftermath purposly keep's the Westcoast out of the picture until he (Dre) decides to drop a cd, and QUOTE "Save it"

It happened in 99' it will happen again, I can guarantee it.
Dre leaves all of his West homies out of the mix, by not producing track's for or appearing on lp's. Remember the period between "Aftermath present's" & "The Firm" Dre avoided his former associates like the plauge.
The all of a sudden......."2001" = The savior of the West...lol

it appears it's going down again.
Eminem
50 Cent
Eve...ect

Aftermath Entertainment fuck's their own roots, for a chance to be the savior....it's fucked up.

Peep ya email Rud!!

Whats his take on the whole "Source Magazine" issue? It seems like Journalistic integrity has taken a back seat, and it's just become a mouthpiece for some artists. I'd like to know how he feels about that.

Ask him what are some things a signed artist should know about the promotion of his or her album... like how can the artist (directly or indirectly) help to ensure the best promotion available? I ask b/cuz i know a lot of tight albums that didn't have promo and went nowhere...

maybe:
what are his thoughts on persistent bootlegging,has this forced the label to step its game up?if so,how?
What grades did he get that have helped him to get to where he is now,or is it true about 'its not what you know its who you know'?
What's a typical day in the life of kevin black?
Many people would feel that truth hurt's album was a flop sales wise,was this the result of a new method which did not go down as planned?
u already knooow!

Cause Dre don't like women.
Check his resume....He only performes for men.

It's fucked up that peep's dont' acknowledge his misses as much as his losses.....check the resume.

I'll add a couple:
The Firm
Mel Man (As an artist)
The entire AFtermath present's cd (that's a grip of artists alone)
King Tee
EvE
Hittman
Dawn Robinson
ect...

Dre has fucked up a grip of career's.
