Death Row Records has just made a big move concerning the "Chronic 2000." They have taken Dr. Dre completely off the compilation. The first single will no longer be "Rat Tat Tat Tat." It will be by YGD The Top Dogg (We will post the name of YGD's track soon). Dre was dropped off the compilation because.... The Chronic 2000 is filled with interlude disses towards Dre himself, and former Death Row artist Snoop Doggy Dogg....which pissed him off. Dre is called a "faggot" and Snoop Doggy Dogg is lashed at about being a "crack head." Much more to follow... This promises to be an interesting compilation. Peace...DRHQ
