Dr. Dre Involved In Yet Another Lawsuit

by JOKESTA

SUNDAY MARCH 9, 2008

Super-producer Dr. Dre has found himself involved in yet another lawsuit after his company, Ary Inc., along with Aftermath & Interscope Records, were slammed with a suit for failing to pay millions in royalties by Mark and Jeff Bass, the Detroit brothers responsible for discovering Eminem.

According to the suit, the brothers along with Em2M LLC, owned by Joel Martin, claim the labels have failed to pay about $1 million dollars in back royalties, from master recordings of the musical performances by Eminem.

In 1995, the Bass Brother's F.B.T. productions signed Em to an exclusive recording contract. In 1998, they then entered an agreement with Aftermath granting them the exclusive services of Eminem.

Martin and The Bass Brothers are seeking an undisclosed amount in damages after the labels allegedly erroneously charged productions costs and other expenses to them, when they should have been billed directly to Eminem.

That case is yet to be settled.

DRES a producer...a creator. It's a known fact that Jay-Z ghostwrote some tracks on Chronic 2001. Does that take away from the fact that he is one of, if not, the most important person in Hip Hop. Think about how different hip hop would be without Dre.
