DR. DRE GETTING SUED...BY BROTHERS WHO FOUND EMINEM

According to Allhiphop.com, Mark and Jeff Bass, the men who discovered Eminem in Detroit, MI have filed a law suit to Dr. Dre, Aftermath, and Interscope records. The reason for this law suit is that they claim Dr. Dre or the labels have failed to pay royalties due to the Bass brothers.

F.B.T. Productions and Em2M LLC say that Aftermath and Interscope have failed to pay $1 mil. in royalties from master recordings of some of Eminem's performances. F.B.T. Productions is owned by the Bass brothers and Em2M LLC is owned by Joel Martin, who runs Eminem's publishing company called 8 Mile Style.



F.B.T. signed Eminem to a deal back in 1995, and 3 years later, made a deal with Aftermath to allow them to have Eminem's services. According to F.B.T. and Em2M and their law suit, they were to receive a portion of all income from future Eminem projects and royalties earned would be paid to them. Apparently, the Michigan based companies claim that the labels billed them for expenses that should have been billed to Eminem.

The Bass brothers are being represented by Los Angeles based attorneys Paul H. Duvall and Mark Block. The companies seek an undisclosed amount of money in damages.
