i haven't had the internet for that long so i don't know waht happen to "truth hurts"..
what's her story?!
-
She got dropped from Aftermath in late 2002-early 2003 and went on to release her second album about a year later. There were some complications as it related that lawsuit concerning her hit single "Addictive". The 'Truthfully Speaking' record got pulled off the shelves, so that's pretty much why she's no longer at The 'Math.
-
i doubt if Dre is gonna work with another female r&b singer. Michel'le went platinum but fell off. Jewell never worked out. and Truth Hurts flopped & got sued.
-
Yea, I think Dre's best bet is to call on Mary J. Blige if he needs those kinds of vocals for a track, rather than trying to shape another R&B artist.
-
Truth Hurts is now on Raphael Saadiq's Label Pookie Entertainment she had an album out last year or 2 years ago with WC on the Single it was called "Ready Now"
-
LOL Quik fucked truth hurts up big-time...

Since her commercial arrival with Dr. Dre, Shari Watson has been blessing listeners with her brutal honesty. Combining her strong, powerful vocals with a raw sexuality, she burst into the scene as Truth Hurts with "Addictive," an intoxicating, Hindu-inspired single produced by DJ Quik. However, legal troubles with the track's sample caused her album Truthfully Speaking to get taken off the shelves, and eventually for her to split with Aftermath/Interscope. While small film roles such as seducing Snoop Dogg in "The Wash" and providing a soulful vocal backdrop in a jazz club in Will Smith's "Ali," helped her maintain familiarity, the St. Louis native's musical destinations were uncertain.
Truth is Ready Now though, dropping the "Hurts" from her name and signing with R&B legend Raphael Saadiq's fledging label, Pookie Entertainment. In an interview with BallerStatus.net, the songstress talks about her split with Aftermath, her new album, and the difficulties of balancing motherhood and work.
BallerStatus.net: I know that you probably get this a lot, but could you explain the legal troubles you had with your first album?
Truth: The legal troubles began with the sample in "Addictive." The label, Aftermath/Interscope, got a lawsuit placed on them. The sample wasn't cleared, I was under the impression that it was... everybody was under the impression that it was, and it came back to haunt us. The label got sued for some ridiculous amount that they didn't have to pay out. The album got pulled from the shelves, and they were able to put the proper credits on the record, but now you can't really find it on the shelves. We kind of got ditched on that whole situation, or I did, per se. That caused Interscope to start dealing with me funny. Not only were they not compensated for the first record with all of the issues, but they didn't want to kick out the dollars on the second record. That would affect me, and I wasn't happy with that or what the outcome of that was going to be. So Dre and I decided that I would go my way, because that was going to be a system that wasn’t going to work for me. Dre and I split amicably, I went on my way, and I'm independent at the moment.
BallerStatus.net: So you and Dre decided to split mutually?
Truth: Yeah, we decided mutually. He didn't want anything to affect me; he's one of my number one fans. He was like, "I don't want anything to wrongfully affect you or hold you back, so I'm pro-whatever puts you into the position where you can go forth and do what you need to do as an artist." He was approaching me as an artist himself because he had to put himself in those shoes. So I respect and appreciate him for that, and I went on my way.

So... Yeah, it was the sample in Addictive that caused the album to be taken off the shelves.

Quik produced Addictive, which he sampled without legal rights.

Quik said in a recent interview that Dre actually produced that track ,and he gave the credit to Quik.

really ? do you have a link ?
b'coz on an interview i read, Quik said he heard the beat on T.V and loved it...
-
I'm thinking Quik came up with the beat concept ( using that sample ) and Dre ended up mixing it and directing Truth's vocals. Sample or no sample, that instrumental is way more Quik influenced than Dre influenced.
-
Any one got that track she did wit WC. heard it was tight
-
The remix was nice.

?? the sample wasnt edited, it was almost the original song, just that Truth Hurts was singing not some Indian woman.

Why would Dre give Quik credit ? and why would someone accept credit for something they didnt do ?
-
her album was good though, a nice r&b album
-
so now no once can moan bout dre stealin credit
-
can someone up a link to that single?
-
yeah Dre produced the song but gave credit to Quik... that's what Quik said in one of his last interviews.
and the album is pretty good... I like it... that ''hollywood'' song is nice... and of course ''I'm not really lookin'' feat. Quik
and yes Rafsta is right... Quik said earlier he woke up in the morning to the original song on some Indian channel... he liked it and he recorded it on tape from tv... and used the sample. I have the original song too... I played it a couple of times... it's nice...
-

Hell yeah. I remember the video, that video was dope. I remember seeing the video and thinking "damn...".

so Quik found the track, Dre produced it and gave the credit to Quik ? shit why did Dre bother producing it ? and why would Quik accept credit for it ? .... it doesnt make sense to me .... why a man would accept credit for something he didnt do is beyond me.

nah homes, that bitch could blow. I think the second single with Kells and him not being in the video hurt her.
