Haha it's funny as hell. Death Row was bringing always bad things and even these years later it's the same with catalogue.

[DeeezNuuuts83]

I would assume it would be whoever owns the label and its catalog at this point.

[Okka]

Didn't he just sue them?

[Mietek23]

Didn't he just sue them?

He did and he lost that lawsuit, just like he will lost that one also. He signed a agreement with Suge back in 1996 so there's no way he can actually think, he's going to get his royalties back. With WideAwake he only managed to get "Chronic Re-Lit" off stores and that's it. If he wants make money off his Death Row shit, he needs to buy that fuckin' catalog for himself and re-release "The Chronic" with Interscope for the rest of his life. That's probably the only way to get money off his old stuff

[M Dogg™]

You would think Dre would have enough money to just buy off Death Row and re-release everything and even add some new remixes of like 2Pac or something. Dude makes about as much in a month selling headphones as Death Row is worth right now. Imagine the digital sales of a "Beats Quality" version of the Chronic. (I know that Beat Quality doesn't really exist, but people will eat that up and buy it anyways.) If Dre bought Death Row, re-released everything "Beats Quality" and watch people eat that up. Throw in Chronic editions of Beats headphones. Dre, just buy Death Row already!

[GangstaBoogy]

The last lawsuit made sense. Death Row had rights to release the Chronic via vinyl / cassette / cd. They were selling it on iTunes, they technically had no rights to sale mp3s of his music.

What's this one about?

Just checked on Amazon and you cannot get Re-lit at a reasonable price.

[Jimmy H.]

The Re-Lit issue was about something else. The royalty one has been an ongoing situation. Dre has always owned his publishing on his Death Row material and even though, he doesn't own the masters, his deal with Suge when he left supposedly entitled him to profits off his catalog over there. I would assume this current lawsuit has something to do with this as he's been chasing proper royalty payments since the late 90's.

^  I've been chasing Detox since the early 2000's so fuck him!

[Ghost Drebin]

Throw in Chronic editions of Beats headphones.

22 bucks (plus shipping) for a brand new sealed CD is a bad price for a CD that's been OOP for 4.5 years now?  lol   that shit was over 50 bucks for the longest time so i just had to order a back up copy when i saw it at 22 bucks (18 + shipping)
