Dr. Dre Sues Death Row Over Rights to The Chronic
Renowned producer Dr. Dre filed a lawsuit against Death Row Records in U.S. bankruptcy court on Wednesday (August 15) over the rights to his groundbreaking 1992 album The Chronic. According to the Associated Press, Dre is asking the court to rescind two prior agreements, made in 1992 and 1996, that first granted Death Row permission to distribute The Chronic, and later relinquished the album’s copyrights to the label. Under the 1996 agreement, he agreed to sign over the copyrights on the condition that he would continue to receive royalties.
In 2000 the Aftermath boss notified Death Row that, due to their failure to pay these royalties, he was rescinding the two prior agreements and demanding the rights to the album be returned to him. Dre now claims that, because of that notice, he is once again the rightful owner of the copyrights. The suit also asserts that the Chapter 11 trustee currently overseeing the label is in the process of trying to sell the copyrights without proper permission. The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction against Death Row and the trustee that would prevent any such sale. Dre is also asking to be paid restitution for any revenue earned by Death Row during its use of the copyrights.

Wonder what Suge thinks of this.........glad to see Dre stands up for what is rightfully his.

This is good to hear that Dre is taking Suge/ DR to court.
I wonder if he wins, does he just get The Chronic 92 masters back, or his all the Dre stuff deathrow still has?
Either way, he deserves to have the rights back to his masters. Although back in 96 when he left, I was under the impression that he signed all his rights away just to leave. It's no surprise that Suge didn't fullfill his end of the agreement. I remember they reissued all those classic records a few years ago, so you know there's money that is supossed to be going dres way

Hope he gets those Master Tapes back. Perhaps the other former DR artists will follow suit, leaving Suge completely down and out.
I'm so sick of these on going greatest hits compilations and remixes which don't differ in track list.
Although bringing this kind of lawsuit at this time onto Suge is like beating a dead horse. But those tapes should be under Dre's possession.

Suge broke ass needs to sell the rights to Dre because he needs the money with all this lawsuits. lol !!!!! Damn, Death Row would have been better than Def Jam with the legendary artists they had on that starting lineup, but Suge was a cancer!!!!!!!

man the gun in the studio incident when dre's friends were using harry o's phone line, being behind the killing of Dramacydal's first manager, being behind BIG's death
macadoshis said Suge took a bunch of dudes on a ski trip and made some bell boy strip butt naked outside in the snow just to humiliate the guy and show off his power
suge used to be the man, but all he does is fuck people over
imagine if he had just dropped Crooked's album 5 years ago, Death Row would still be relevant!

it would put a beautiful smile on my face for weeks to see or hear about a piece of shit like suge knight being tortured and murdered. :)
he's a scumbag criminal who's known to treat people like animals and the only good suge is a dead suge
-
I'm not sure if I would wish death on anyone including Suge but I must say that I'm suprised that no one has taken him out..Back to the subject, I'm glad Dre is attempting to get what is rightfully his.....I just wonder however if Suge has Dre shook up...I mean you never hear about Dre out with other celebs or major events especially since that last incident where Suge's flunky sucker-punched Dre..I guess Dre is a happily married man but it just seems like you might see him with his beautiful wife at hiphop/hollywood functions and award shows if Suge were not around.....I hope I'm wrong in this case.

ohhhhhh so thats what he's been doing.
