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 kidnapping threat to get Dr. Dre released from his contract. Dre and Knight went on to build Death Row Records and turned it into a multimillion-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 true story of an American icon, author Ronin Ro details the rise, fall, and resurrection of the greatest producer in rap music history."--BOOK JACKET.
