A SOUND REBOUND
(3 of 3)
Field and Iovine could pay the settlements out of petty cash. Universal is poised to purchase their remaining 50% of Interscope for about $350 million, but Death Row is history. Interscope is leaving gangsta rap further behind and has signed new deals with a reformed Dr. Dre (who now shuns the genre) and R.-and-B. producer Teddy Riley.
Iovine won't make any excuses for Death Row or rap, nor does he particularly care to discuss it. "We're out of business with them. It's irrelevant," he snaps. He and Field produce records, period. For them, groups and labels may go, but the hits just keep on coming.
