From the Dubcnn interview with stat quo:
Dubcnn: A lot of people speculate that Bishop Lamont might get dropped…
He leaked that Dre record and the rest of the label weren’t behind that record, and they didn't want him to put that song out, even though it was hot. The record didn't do anything because the rest of the label wasn't behind it. Dre didn't like it. I called Bishop when I heard that record and was like "yo that the shit" and I was pumped about it, but Dre obviously felt differently… so that record didn't get where it was supposed to go. When an artist comes out, everyone has to be 100% behind that artist and that project, or the project it is doomed to fail. Another reason I don't work there anymore is that the people don't want a Bishop Lamont album… They want Detox, Relapse and Before I Self Destruct. So the stockholders who want those albums and when the rich, I mean the billionaires in this game start to suffer, then they are not feeling that. They don't care about Stat Quo or Bishop or anything else, all they want is Eminem and Dre and that is it. The business side of me understands that, but the artistry part of me is upset. As a business person, I can only respect the move that is going to bring in more dollars, but I feel like it’s about more than money, so I had to split… its 90% business, 5% creative and 5% perception of the music. You're not buying the music, you’re buying the person. The shareholders want their money and they know that Eminem, 50 cent, and Dre will sell lots of records.

Grow Up?

grow up

I'm assuming Grow Up, because their was suppose to be a video for it and it never came out. Apparently Dr. Dre. thought it was a poor choice for a single, sorta Ironic since he let Eminem choose "We Made You" as one. Grow-Up was a perfect Track, but its possibly Dr. Dre. didn't like it cause it didn't get you a feel for what might be on the album.

so was grow up meant to be for dre or for bishop, originally?

it was a Bishop track but Dre wasn't happy with it, he also had little faith in Bishop's career
