Which Death Row signing you think was the one that made Dre leave?
« on: July 31, 2011, 07:10:09 AM »
It wasn't the only reason Dre left.  But Dre did say in an interview that one of the reasons he left was, "it came to the point where I would show up to work and a new nigger would be in face like, yo, I just signed to the label".  And I'd be like, "Nigga, I don't know you!".

My guess is M.C. Hammer.  Because what the hell was Suge thinking signing that dude?   Also, it could of been O.F.T.B. as well.  Because they were one of the only other new acts that came around the time Dre started to become disenchanted.

Unquestionably 2Pac. Dre was always on good terms with Interscope, as evident today when you see where he is compared to Suge/Death Row. Dre was already bothered by the trouble surrounding his label, and never wanted 2Pac on Death Row due to the trouble surrounding him, then MC Hammer being the final nail in the coffin

It was 2pac that made Dre leave. Once he got signed it was a wrap. They brung Hammer on board to be able to sell out big venues....which I thought was a smart move..and Hammer and Suge had been cool for years 8)

I'd say it wasn't any one act Suge signed that caused it, but a combination of acts and Suge's antics, because the whole label was based on Dre scouting the talent and Suge managing the background stuff. When Suge started acting like an attention seeking dick and signing his own acts without consulting the head of the musical output (Dre), that was obviously going to piss Dre off...

and let's be honest, apart from 2Pac Suge didn't really find anyone on anywhere near the level of Dre's finding (Snoop, Daz, Kurupt, Rage, RBX, Nate, Jewell, Sam Sneed).

Suge ruined Death Row himself.

i think Dre just wanted out when DR became more famous for what they did(beating people up, threatening people eyc) rather then the music they did. when the bullshit started overshadowing the music i think it became too much for Dre because Dre isn´t a gangster and i don´t think he enjoyed all of the violence that all of the people that weren´t artists brought with them, and when Suge started involving himself with the music i think it was a wrap(the biggest mistake Suge´s ever made is making himself the executive producer of DR albums). and Tupac brought even more drama and BS with him so i guess the signing of Tupac is the signing that made Dre leave.
