Idolator
Dr. Dre has served notice on Death Row Records that he wants The Chronic back in his tender care, hitting his former home base with a lawsuit citing a previous failure to pay agreed-upon royalties as reason enough for the bankruptcy courts to fork over the album's rights to its creator. He's also worrying that one of the rats fleeing the sinking Death Row ship in the midst of the label's Chapter 11 "restructuring" might end up selling the copyright to the album for a handful of magic beans. Perhaps if Detox ever drops we'll be treated to an updated "Dre Day 2027" video with Suge Knight in a bad Jheri curl and a sleazy Chapter 11 lawyer that's a barely disguised racial stereotype.

Thanks for the "Y'all ain't got no love" tag. I'm amused every time I turn on VH1 and see Angry Snoop yelling at the Source Awards crowd unprovoked, especially now that Snoop has (d)evolved into a cuddly, white people-safe puppy dog.
I don't like when people opt to do things that will likely piss off Suge Knight. It's like poking a dragon the size of Australia that's been sleeping under the Earth's surface for a good decade or so.
"Perhaps if Detox ever drops we'll be treated to an updated "Dre Day 2027" video with Suge Knight in a bad Jheri curl and a sleazy Chapter 11 lawyer that's a barely disguised racial stereotype."
And with that sentence, Mr. (or Ms?) Harvell, you have erased all memory of writing fondly of Brad Paisley.
And, I say again, I would fucking LOVE to hear this 'detox' album.
