Last time I talked to him (about 5 months ago) he was working with this lady who does neosoul. Kinda like Jill Scott.

Prince pimped that whore

How u figure that? Cuz he didn't sue P over Do Me Baby? I think a couple of things were at hand. One, I think it hurt Andre that P would do that to him, of all people. Andre's family had done so much for Prince when he had no where else to go. So just on a personal level, I think it stung Dre. Second, I think Dre didn't want to go through the costs of sueing P plus I don't think he wanted it out that P had ripped him off. It may sound crazy to folks on here but I think Dre was watching out for P. Meaning he didn't want it out in the media that P had stolen a track. Especially a cut like this one. If it had been me, I would have went broke suing P or anyone else who had ripped me off. I wouldn't have had any peace untill I saw it through. But that's what I think may have went down in Dre's case He and P were really close and from what I understood, they still stayed in touch. Before the band with on the Dirty Mind tour, Dre told P that after the tour, he was out. P offered to double Dre's salary and so forth but Dre was ready to go. So because P was angry that Dre actually bailed, he went ahead and did Do Me Baby.

This is sort of a vain question, but how is Andre holding up physically these days. Is he still maintaining his figure, or has he put on a couple?

yeah for pennies on the dollar....Andre took half the money owed. Its not andre's mom, she was everyones mom, we all knew her in the community. Andre is a true musician, with a heart as big as jody watleys fivehead... We can only hope he releases his own material again.

Everytime I have seen Dre, he's looked pretty much the same. Me being a dude, I wouldn't have keyed in on if he's gained a lil' weight. He's not like how cats like Jesse for example, who has gotten heavy. And I noticed this from Jesse back in 94 when I saw him at a gig in L.A.

Forget suing; i would of beat Prince to near death.

I don't give a fuck if you are supposed to be friends; you do not let people use and take advantage of you like that.

It is just like a pimp with hoes.

I stated in my post that if it had been me, I would have sued. Me being friends with Dre has nothing to do with me giving my opinion on what may have gone down. So u not giving a fuck about me being friends with Andre is besides the point. I've stated on here a few other times that if someone had stolen my material, I would would go after them.

I never believed this story.

Many people don't believe that P stole from Andre.But it's been documented as far back as 83. And P even implies this on the sly during his interview on MTV promoting UTCM. He speaks on him wanting Andre to do The Dance Electric and Dre saying that he must be crazy and P saying that he's the one that's crazy. Prince could go on television and say that "Yeah, I took Do Me Baby" and people still wouldn't believe it. So, u know.

It was the base line to Do Me, Baby right? Or was it just every instrumentation?
Some people think I'm kinda cute

Nah, the whole music track. P re- wrote the lyrics but kept Andre's melody.

Hazel is in the spirit world

Bootsy co wrote the track with hazel as well.

Prince thought he was taking andre's music but it was reall hazel/ bootsy than wrote the music or at least the main portion.

I think Prince however produced and performed the track very well.

Hazel was still alive for years after this song had been released and I know he heard it, being that the Funk Mobe were fans of P's. "Icka Prick" from "Electric Spanking" was about Dirty Mind era Prince. Clinton said this. Anyway, Hazel wouldn't have had a case because the two songs don't sound shit alike. Granted, it's the same chords, but that's it. And two, Prince knew that Dre's song was a bite from Frantic Moment.

Damn, Andre is decent.
I would have sued Prince's ass. I mean, he screwed a friend over AND made money off of it? That's a ticket to sue city.
I really admire Andre, even though I only know a little of his work.
