Dr. Dre Sues "Rollin With Dr. Dre" Author For $100,000

by JOKESTA

THURSDAY OCTOBER 30, 2008

Hip Hop super producer Dr. Dre is no stranger to the court room. The hitmaker who's been involved in numerous lawsuits this year will be heading back to court after filing a $100,000 lawsuit against author and former friend, Bruce Williams.

According to the lawsuit filed on Tuesday, October 28th, in L.A. County Superior Court, Dr. Dre claims he loaned Williams $101,377.85 and hasn't seen a dime of the loan since. 

Earlier this year, Williams released "Rollin' With Dre: An Insider's Tale of the Rise, Fall and Rebirth of West Coast Hip Hop,"  which chronicled the struggles of Dre and others in hip hop revealing such gems as "Suge Knight once gave Snoop Dogg a BMW 850 two-seater for his birthday in blue — Crip colors. Snoop enjoyed it until cops surrounded it one day — it had been stolen."

Since it's release, the book hasn't brought about the best of luck for the good doctor. During a launch party for the written work, two men were hit from gunshots fired, causing the celebrations to end abruptly.

One of the man was fatally wounded while the other was left in critical condition.

The book probably didn't sell enough copies for the dude to pay him back. Maybe if Dre would release DETOX the world would be interested enough in a book called 'Rollin With Dre' to buy the book so he can pay him back.

Honestly, I think the nigga should scrap Detox because it's no way in hell it's going to live up to all the hype that has been created for it..I hope that ol boy don't have to pay Dre back shit..He's a solid producer that has always depended on the talent of others..He's not some great super producer..Daz produced more hitz off of Pac's "All eyez on me"..Go back and do the research..Dre wasn't making a lot of them beats coming out of Deathrow..Quite a few hitz he's been credited with he only added a few things to..Pac talked about Dre and how horrible his work ethics were back then..Dre blamed it on Suge and the stress at Deathrow..I really disagree and think he needed somebody like Eazy or Suge with a foot in his azz because he's lazy as hell without it..Look how long Jimmy Iovine has had this nigga and think about how long Eazy and Suge had him..When did he produce the majority of his hits..Exactly, he's a has been now and Eminem is damn near a better producer than Dre..He got talent but he's lazy..Think if Kanye had the talent on his label that Dre has had..i.e. Busta, Eve, Rakim, Stat Quo, Joell Ortiz, Game(which, Dre couldn't break without 50's help)...Put those 6 artists on anybody else label and they are the number #1 label out period..The only reason Dre is still mentioned because of his ties to Em and 50..He haven't produced much on their latest albums either..
