THX intro you mean

Yep, THX-1, Dre asked Star Wars big daddy George Lucas for permission, he was told to fuck off...lucky for us, Dre said fuck it and jacked it.

Had to a pay up a cool million or so for it, daps to Dre for puttin that cinematic shit on for us on 2001.

The rap superstar is accused of using a sound called ‘THX Deep Note’, a sound Lucasfilm has trademarked – he claims the first sound ever to be trademarked – without the company’s permission.

How Star Wars Stuck It to Gangster Rap's Dr. Dre and a Trademarked "Sound"

July 19, 2016

This is, by far, how far trademark law and patent law could actually go -- only in this industry can someone file a lawsuit on something completely unrelated as this! Yes, it turned out that in this legal history of a brand such as Star Wars, LucasFilm even sued one Dr. Dre (the same Dre of NWA fame and Snoop Dogg) for preceding one of his tracks after -- get this -- that THX deep note sound you heard at the very beginning of some of the Star Wars films.

It Was Literally the First Time in Legal History That a "Sound" Was Ever Trademarked

You know what we're talking about: when the THX logo shows up on the screen, and that familiar deep note crescendoes up to a high galactic pitch, almost capable of cracking glasses. It became a staple of surround sound technology, and here's the kicker: Lucasfilm owned that sound given THX was a division of the studio up until 2001.

That made Lucasfilm the owner of not only the AV-standards company THX, but the logo, the sound -- everything. Hence no one better touch any aspect of it.

Dr. Dre Tried to Get Permission in Using That THX Deep Note Intro



Lucasfilm refused. And the company had every right to refuse. Of course, being the gangster rapper he was, Dre went ahead and pulled the audio anyway and used it on one of his tracks.* Lucasfilm found out, however, and the rest is history.

That's one lawsuit you'd never expect a gangster rapper to ever face.

Just like Dre put Snoop on.  So should Snoop give all his stuff to Dre?  Just as Dre was put on by someone else, and someone else put them on, and so on and so on.....That's what you do.

1st off I said Daz should own his music, but I was saying the Dogg Pound logo/trademark could be Snoops especially since Snoop bought Death Row

2nd, you can’t compare Dre puttin Snoop on with Snoop puttin DPG on.  Like I said, my brother (average music fan) knows Snoops name but not Daz and Kurupt name.

When “Deep Cover”, “G Thang”, and “Dre Day” dropped I actually thought Snoop and Dre were a group, Snoop was the bigger star on all of those tracks.  I know cause I was a kid at the time and yeah I thought whoever this Dr Dre guy is he’s clearly someone major — but it was Snoop that kids was trying to be like Mike

If talkin L.A., Game aint ever seeing a Ice-Cube 89-96, or a Snoop 92/93.

Compton?
That would make a good discussion for folks in barber shops over there.

so far we traded a far superior Brandon Nimmo for washed Marcus Semien

lost Pete Alonso to the Orioles

lost Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers

we are right now at best maybe a 70 win team

Did they say they are finished or still going after some big names

Soto looking around him in the rubble like wtf just happened

If he did alot of songs and they are unreleased in Snoop's possession and there is talk of Snoop selling his catalog, he has a right to know where the money is going to go.

He who pays for the studio time owns the reels or recorded, owns the masters, that’s the parts artist don’t understand.

Get your paper and business right. If he didn’t have his business right there then don’t cry now. It’s been years since tha last meal, tha Eastsidaz and dogghouse days. Very good music he had there but from my understanding he chose to leave and was given no debt to recoup the music.

Not sure if it’s bad music but you can’t always walk away with out paying your debt to music and expenses.  If kokane signed another deal with any other label after dogghouse typically that label also has to pay his red debts at dogghouse. That didn’t happen.

That’s what No Limit paid Death Row what they felt he owed and or could have made the next few albums. 

It’s business he left debt free. His choice.

Well, my exact quote was 'he never blew up mainstream like 50 cent did'.  Of course he had a few mainstream hits.  My opinion still stands though that if you ask a casual music fan who 50 cent is and who Game is, more people are going to know 50 cent by a wide margin.  There's a reason why Dre wanted 50 at the Super Bowl and not Game, let's keep it real. 

He's in the top 25 Westcoast rappers, i'd have a hard time putting him in top 10.

i agree he's not top 10

Shit... then I'm siding with Snoop even harder then.  Because Snoop put them on!!  When Snoop had Kurupt jogging behind him in the "Who Am I" video and he was rapping,

"With the dogg pound right behind me/
and up in your bitch is where you might find me"



Kurupt is hollering, "What's your name FOOL!"

It's the best selling hardcore rap album of all time.  The 3rd big single he gets Ricky Harris to come out there like, "We got Snoop Dogg, the Dogg Pound, and the Fabulous Dramatics!"



That's about the biggest set up any artists can get. 

And the Dogg Pound was originally named after the chill spot at Snoop's apartment where all the homies chilled when they was recording Chronic and then Doggystyle in the early dayz of Death Row.  That was Snoop's mutherfucking apartment.  SNOOP MADE THE DAMN DOGG POUND AND PUT THEM ON AND BLEW THEM UP AND RAPPED THE CHORUS AND KICKED DOWN THE MUTHERFUCKIN BUILDINGS IN NY!!



If he wanna take the damn trademark that's his right!   And I love Daz but Daz trippin

Just like Dre put Snoop on.  So should Snoop give all his stuff to Dre?  Just as Dre was put on by someone else, and someone else put them on, and so on and so on.....That's what you do. 

The goal post was moved from compton to the west coast.
If we are talking talent alone, who is above Game from compton?

Eazy E, Dr. Dre, DJ Quik, Kendrick

while i'm not a fan of games antics..

he had a few mainstream hits and can definitely rap .. documentary was a number 1 album and went multi-platinum .. same with doctors advocate .. LAX debuted at number 2 on billboard charts and the red album had him back at number 1

let's not pretend he's some obscure underground artist here .. might nota been a global icon like 50, but saying he was never mainstream is a stretch
