Al Sharpton Shook Down Dr. Dre For Half A Million???

In an upcoming interview for HipHopDX with Dr. Dre's former right hand man for over a decade, Bruce Williams, it was revealed that Rev Al Sharpton gave Dr. Dre and his Aftermath camp an ultimatum - Half a million to squash the 50 Cent/Game beef or they would march.

"He said if we didnt have a million, we marching. Its that easy," Williams stated exclusively to HipHopDX. He also makes mention of the situation in his recently released book "Rollin With Dre."

"We got a lot of black leaders that dont do shit to me. I dont see what they do," he continues. "In the (Game/50) situation (Sharpton and company) are going to come and say 'we need X amount of money', whether you are going to give it to charity or not? Why dont you come and say 'hey, lets all of us sit down and figure this out?' Dont come and say 'give me a half a million dollars or we marching!' That didnt even get the situation resolved. You seen it. They didnt even look like they squashed anything."

Williams accuses Sharpton of "orchestrating" the press conference held to squash the beef and states that "so-called" activists do this "all of the time."

"Look at C Delores Tucker back in the day," Williams said. "They was sitting up there talking all that bullshit when behind closed doors they was trying to start their own label. But that isnt what they were telling motherfuckers in the street!"
