Seems strange to me, but then again, I don't really know about DR's Business dealings. On the surface, it just seems like they don't really have a source of income, but who knows.
I just don't see where they are getting money from? Are the royalty checks from their past works and the sales from dysfunktional/tupac enough to keep them running? It just seems if Suge was really fronting all this money from his pocket, he'd be getting kinda tired of it by now.
/hopes to see a crooked I album in 2005

Don't underestimate the money Suge's getting off of Tupac's catalogue. Brian Wilson, for instance, makes a FORTUNE off of the royalties from all of the Beach Boys songs he wrote, we're talking like 15 million dollars a year, in his pocket. Tupac's stuff alone probably brings in at least 8 or 9 million a year in royalties, you could run the Row off of about 400 grand, hell, they don't do anything, lol.
Remember: Everytime a Tupac song gets played, anywhere, Suge gets money. Each Song, Each Radio Station, Each City, Each State, Each Country, all around the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. TONS of money... and that's just Tupac's part. Add Dre, Snoop, Dogg Pound, and you've got an empire.
