“You’d think there would be some sort ofhonor between men, especially men that once worked together.”Īt press time, Priority had yet to return numerous calls in reference tothe suit. If we have to, we’ll just seize all profits from their album.” With this lawsuit, we’re just making sure that nothing impedesthat process. This album is coming out, and it will be called Chronic2001. “At first we just laughed, but it’s seriousbusiness. “After their album had finished it’s chart run, Priority suddenly decidesnot to honor their end of the agreement, and threatened to sue us if we usedthe title,” King elaborates. The troubles started once Dre and Aftermath began putting together theiralbum, Chronic 2001. In the end, both sides agreed thatwe’d allow the other to use the title, and then let the public decide whichone they preferred.” “We got in touch with them to say thatwe’d sue if they even thought about it. Wefound out earlier this year that they planned on releasing a record called Chronic 2000 with unreleased Dre tracks and even tracks fromthe original record,” he continues.
“It’s really unfortunate, because we thought we’dcome to a satisfactory agreement with Priority over the use of the title. “In a nutshell, the world knows exactly who made The Chronic ahousehold word in the hip hop community,” says lawyer Howard King, who filedthe suit in Dre’s behalf. (After he learned of Death Row’s plans, Dre renamed his compilation The Chronic 2001.) The suit, filed on Thursday, July 15, also claims that Priority and DeathRow named the album The Chronic 2000 only after learning of Dre’splans to release an album entitled The Chronic 2000 in the nearfuture.
