Daz Dillinger alleges that JAY-Z owes him money for his ghostwriting of Dr. Dre‘s “Still D.R.E.," which he claims borrows lyrics from Snoop Dogg's “Serial Killa." Daz appeared on that song as one-half of Tha Dogg Pound with Kurupt. He explained his reasoning during a recent interview with Home Grown Radio Podcast.
As for the lyric Daz claims JAY-Z ripped, it goes "If you ain’t up on thangs/ Snoop Dogg is the name, Dogg Pound’s the game/ It’s like this, they don’t understand.” For "Still D.R.E.," the song goes “(If you ain’t up on thangs) Dr. Dre is the name/ I’m ahead of my game.”

“So in my mind, JAY-Z was listening to 'Serial Killa' while he was writing that motherfuckin’ rhyme, and I wanna get my money for that,” Daz said, before demanding “some percentages” from him. He said that he tried to contact the rapper one time but was threatened with legal action in response. “Music has no statute of limitations," he added.
Daz also reflected on getting money from Suge Knight back in the day. Later in the same interview, he explained that he was owed over $2 million from the music mogul. “Shit, I got a check for like $2.3million from Suge Knight,” Daz said when asked about his biggest payday. “Delmar Arnaud, Suge Knight, Death Row Records, $2.5million. I had to give Kurupt some too, I had to go in and strong arm Suge to get the money. I had everybody in they office hemmed up against the wall, n***a. We on mushrooms. We in that muthafucka lit! N***a in the corner laughing. I felt a little something, n***a, I ran, ahhh! Had a big ass muthafukin’ diesel screwdriver. You know them big long diesel screwdrivers?”
