I'm more or less done with this tangent, and I wasn't gonna post again (except to add my fails just like you guys did to me), but this part got me.
You claim to have tremendous respect for dre, and yet you post about how he needs to do more within the community?
First off, when she filed the lawsuit he pleaded no contest, he never said he didn't hit her, so admitting to what he did is far more than most men. He also settled the case with her, if she had been unhappy with it then why the hell did she settle, she had a pretty clear cut case, and any lawyer would have been happy to take dre's money. Except that you forget that when this case erupted dre wasn't worth 1 bil. He was worth maybe 20 mil? So the case got settled for a fair amount. So what? Now that he has made more money he should come back and give more money to her? That's not how this shit works.
As for the comment of giving to domestic abuse facilities, i'm sure he has given plenty, Dre is listed constantly as one of the most philanthropic people in music.
He has given MILLIONS to fund arts programs in california and especially his old neighbourhood.
On top of that he only just recently announced that ALL the proceeds from his last album are going to go towards paying for a new arts center.
Anyway, lets just get back to the movie.
