“Daz Dillinger Says It’s ‘F*cked Up’
1. Allegations of Erased Credit
Daz Dillinger has accused Dr. Dre of removing his name from The Chronic to facilitate a lucrative publishing sale with Snoop Dogg.
He stated, “There’s no paperwork on the Chronic album,” suggesting the omission allowed rights to be sold without proper attribution or compensation.
2. A Decades-Long Struggle
Daz traced a “complex, thirty-year chain of bad business and asset transfers,
” implicating labels and executives in schemes to take artists’ music.
He also accused Snoop Dogg of being aware of attempts to withhold his royalties.
3. Financial and Cultural Stakes
Referencing Dre’s 2021 catalog sale, Daz said, “I was figuring out myself how in the hell Dr. Dre got $200 mill and he only got two
albums,” highlighting the disparity between earnings and credited contributions.
The allegations challenge the historical record of The Chronic, a landmark of West Coast hip-hop.
4. Defiance and Uncertainty
Daz concluded, “All y’all talking shit out there. I see you. I ain’t scared of you,”
signaling a potential legal battle over legacy and royalties, as the industry awaits responses from Dre, Snoop,
and their representatives.
