Post by: pootypooty on February 05, 2008, 10:57:05 AM: By Ace Cannon

Warner Music Group is offering up to $25 million dollars for Death Row Records’ back catalog, according to The New York Post. In a recent filing related to Death Row’s bankruptcy case, WMG was named the leading "stalking-horse bidder" in Death Row’s Los Angeles-based bankruptcy proceedings. Over 10,000 titles are up for sale, including recordings by Tupac Shakur, as well as Snoop Dogg’s classic debut Doggystyle and Dr. Dre’s landmark album The Chronic. Other potential bidders, including Koch and Evergreen Copyrights, have until April to top WMG’s $25 million dollar offer.

Post by: Invincible on February 07, 2008, 12:38:06 PM: I don't care who owns it as long as all the unreleased shit sees the light of day. If Dre buys his stuff, he won't release it because he won't be satisfied with it. That is why its chucked away in the vault.
