He could have fought for it but he didn't, don't know if it was out of fear or just didn't want to deal with the hassle, but when he left he took nothing with him.

That's cuz he was putting out all them compilations and shyt, nobody knee of him nation wide til 97

He put out like 4 compilations and 5 albums one of them my favorite (mama's bad boy) before 97 pretty sure.
I reckon people knew him b but yes the mainstream audience was hooked by 97 98 but like I said dude was still ballin before that.

P went nationwide in 95 with Bout It Bout It which got play on Rap City. The next year with Ice Cream Man he was again on Rap City and getting write ups in the Source.
Tru 2 Da Game in early 97 was the first album that really sold a lot and then the door was completely blown off the frame with Ghetto D.

To add to this, Death Row cannot release any of the unreleased Dre material without his consent. That was part of their deal, and Dre was also supposed to continue receiving royalties. So Dre still has rights to that material.
