As you may or may not know dr. dre's "2001" fulfilled his original distribution/record deal with interscope. this unofficially made dre a free agent. the possibilty of dre switching labels caused some uncertainty how soon dre's next batch of releases would be out. dre was offered 9 digit offers from 2 other major music labels. but dre turned them down due to his loyalty to good friend and interscope president jimmy iovine. interscope, and jimmy specifically, was the only person to offer dre and death row a record deal. dre really wanted to work something out with interscope. a new deal would give dre freedom, yet obligate him to release a certain number of Aftermath releases in acordance with a contract. as well as getting dre to help out with other interscope and universal artists like no doubt, d-12 and the newly confirmed collab with sticky fingaz. i won't discuss whether or not a deal has been worked out or the money involved in order to keep this private. any announcement will be made by interscope and dre if or when they decide to. but with at least 5 aftermath/interscope releases coming out within the next 2 years, i think the answer to whether or not a new deal has been hammered out is pretty obvious. and believe me, any new deal for dre would definetly reward him for his 3 decades of hard work.this new deal will insure that dre and his family are set for life,and then some. the only reason i put this out there is to let you know that we will get a lot of new dre stuff out soon.if he had left for another label it may have set a lot of things back. i'll be posting 2 more messages soon, including dre and rakim info. peace.

Thanks Mellowman, We Appreciate It... I Hope Dre Realizes He's Got Some TRUE Fans Out Here, Who Look Forward To His Stuff. I Wish Dre Would Scratch More On His Records Though, That's Always Dope On A Dre Song! "Bitch Niggaz" Was Awesome!
