Dr. Dre is back in the news-this time for filing a lawsuit against Priority Records and Death Row Records. Dre alleges that the recent Priority-distributed Death Row album "The Chronic 2000" infringes on a trademark held by Dre. As we all know Dre really made his mark in hip hop when he dropped the classic '92 lp "The Chronic".

He also announced earlier this year that he was going to be releasing 'The Chronic 2000' on his own Aftermath Record label. Shortly afterwards Death Row announced that they would do the same. Dre is now seeking a court injunction against the use of the 'Chronic' trademark. He also wants profits from any products that utilizing the trademark. [mmm I wonder if he's gonna come after Cypress Hill]. There has been no comment from Priority or Death Row Records.
