Born on February 18, 1965 to a sixteen-year-old single mom,
Andre Young, AKA Dr. Dre, co-founded the notorious rap group N. W.
A. The group was one of the most successful hip-hop groups of the
late 1980s and, most importantly, started what the media quickly
dubbed Gangsta Rap. His departure from N. W. A. was a story right
out of a pulp fiction novel. His new mentor, Suge Knight, allegedly
used guns, baseball bats and a kidnap threat to get Dr. Dre
released from his contract. Dre and Knight went on to build Death
Row Records and turned it into a multi-billlion dollar company. Yet
despite its unprecedented success with stars such as Snoop Doggy
Dogg and Tupac Shakur, the company quickly unraveled in a firestorm
of rivalries, greed, violence, and scrutiny by both the government
and the media. Not one to fade into the background, Dr. Dre''s next
move was to start his own record company, Aftermath Entertainment.
As CEO, he discovered and created new stars like Eminem, 50 Cent,
The Game, and Eve. In this essential addition to any music section,
award-winning author Ronin Ro details the rise, fall, and
resurrection of one of the biggest names in rap music.
