"You can't expect the next man to handle your business" was the lesson he needed to learn. So many artists learn the hard way that it's called the record business with emphasis on BUSINESS. If you want your paper (money) to be right, make sure that paper (contract) is right.

One of the best and most interesting interviews I have listened to. I appreciate this a lot thank you so much for this Art of dialogue!

I'm from Dayton, Ohio. My father knew Roger and Larry Troutman. Nobody liked Larry Troutman because they all said he was a dickhead if u asked around Dayton so he probably deserved it! I remember them coming in the alley in a limo where my dad fixed cars when I was a little boy, and my dad telling us after they left later that he didn't like Larry because he was rude. They also adopted one of my aunts who was in a orphanage growing up and she said she didn't like Larry but loved Roger Troutman who would make sure she had a good Christmas every Christmas in the orphanage.

Honestly dude seem appreciative Dr.Dre gave him a shot but to believe Dre saying he going to take care of they contractual agreement when Suge Knight running things I would just chalk that up as a lost cause at that time Dre couldn't control Suge💯💯

He study mob rules, Black Panther rules and wanted mixed those principles. He saw him as Capo, the Outlawz was his soldiers. Snoop was a Capo and had the Dogg Pounds.

This is proof that people will justify any and everything a person does based on who they are. How could one make sense of Dr. Dre not supporting Snoop during his murder trial... ?! Artist or friend, business or personal; it would make sense to at least show up.

Suge was not about to do anything to benefit Dre. I hate hearing Dre not taking care of business right because he went thru the same thing with Ruthless, so why do that to someone else.

“He came at the friend role in the beginning, like we were buddy’s, you know what I mean, so I always thought he was looking out you know what I mean, but then that kind of showed me, he’ll let me take the beat down like Sneed, so I started thinking differently” ~ J-Flexx on Dr Dre Dr Dre also set up Easy E too.
