On the surface this appears to be another reason why Dr. Dre won’t ever release Detox and it probably is.

All the testimonies from his friends and understudies are comforting, but dude is seriously raking in cake with the headphones and now this.

According to this commercial, HP Beats Audio was built specifically with Dre and his music in mind.

“We tore the computer apart so my music sounds like it’s supposed to,” he says.

On the good foot, Stat Quo earns a cameo and they are in the studio, so who knows… He could be moonlighting one way or the other.

Andre Young, known to the world as the legendary super producer Dr. Dre, filed a lawsuit yesterday claiming the new owners of Death Row Records – WideAwake Entertainment – released classic DR materials without his consent.

The suit maintains the Canadian based entertainment label failed to pay him due royalties for the Chronic, which were severed when he left the label in 1996.

“When it came to paying artist royalties and honoring limits on Dr. Dre recordings that could be released, the “new” Death Row Records, to quote our client, ‘forgot about Dre,’” Young’s attorney Howard King said in a statement. “This lawsuit will make sure they remember.”

The suit also insists Dre had no clause in his contract allowing for digital distribution of his music, which WIDEawake also assumed.

Dr. Dre and his lawyers are seeking monetary consolation in the amount of $75,000 for a variety of damages, including breach of contract, false advertising, trademark infringement and misappropriation of publicity.

It’s been a long time coming, but Game finally found his way back home. The Black Wallstreet impresario announced via his Twitter account this past Saturday that Dr. Dre officially welcomed him back with open arms and he posted an image of himself with four Aftermath chains on to confirm the reunion.

The announcement couldn’t have come at a better time, as the controversial West Coast emcee is set to release his fourth album, R.E.D. next month.

The possibility of a Game/Dre reunion seemed plausible a little over a month ago when Game tweeted his interest in working on the heavily anticipated Detox album. He went on to tweet that he and Dre had been in the studio working together and ultimately revealed that the legendary producer was on board for his upcoming project.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Dr. Dre has been moving in another direction the past… nine years?

And for those that hadn’t gotten the message, Ras Kass keeps it all the way 100 (sure to be on the 2010 list of phrases that are played the fuck out) in the following interview with The SOURCE.

He offers any man who waits on Dre to save him is pretty much fooling himself. Kass also speaks on the importance of being independent in these crucial times where big record companies are nearly useless.

The only thing wrong with his first observation is the artists that are making noise in Southern California, save for Game, have their own movements (and he actually does too… sort of).

Neither Nipsey Hussle nor Jay Rock or even Glasses Malone, are signed to Dre and they all appear to be doing just fine.

The second observation is dead on, only Ras’ momentum is as strong as a dumptruck traveling uphill in neutral.

An official statement from a member of the Aftermath Records’ brass had this to say regarding Bishop Lamont’s split with the West Coast based label:

“Unlike Joel Ortiz or Stat Quo, Bishop Lamont was released from Aftermath due to disloyalty and the fact that he is an idiot. It started in early 2008 when he decided to name himself a spokesperson for Detox, Aftermath, & Dr. Dre. Let’s start with his Disloyalty.

Bishop’s Single “Grow Up” should have never happened period. The song “Grow Up” was originally intended for Marsha from Floetry and stolen by Bishop. Bishop layed vocals to what the public now knows as “Grow Up” and Dre never liked it. Dre never liked the fact that Bishop did a record he intended for Marsha and Dre thought the mix for the record was awful. Will Dre release a record that is just a loop, synthesizer, and vocals?? No, not after releasing classics like No One Can Do it Better, Chronic, DoggyStyle, Slim Shady LP, or Get Rich or Die Trying.
