Dr. Dre Almost $4 Million Deal w/ Disney After Dropping The Chronic?

Dr. Dre was instrumental in Death Row Records’ meteoric rise in the ’90s, not only co-founding the West Coast label but producing many of the multi-platinum albums it released, including his own 1992 debut The Chronic. However, the legendary producer could’ve been synonymous with Disney (yes, Disney) instead of Death Row had things played out differently.

During a recent appearance on Samson Shulman’s Connection is Magic podcast, Dre’s longtime lawyer, Peter Paterno, revealed Disney tried to sign Dr. Dre in a $4 million deal after the success of The Chronic, which topped Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart while spawning two top 10 Hot 100 hits.
