Some people break it down even further to Pac vs Biggie, but that's not quite true either, since Suge did hate Puffy, and if you remember the infamous Source awards where Snoop lashed out at everyone from the east coast.
But Dre was too smart for it, he knew sooner or later Death Row would get him or somebody he knew killed, but the death of his brother really gave him the final push he needed to leave. I'm sure Suge got a sweet deal too, he may be nothing more than a bully, but he knows how to make money. That's when Dre started up Aftermath and declared that Gangsta Rap was dead, which is another reason he and Snoop had a falling out, if you listen to Snoops last cd at DR he says in the intro "To anyone who says Gangsta Rap is dead...FUCK Y'ALL"
Unfortunatly Aftermath didn't exactly take off either, so I'm sure that one way or another Em and Dre would have come together, because Dre was very desperate for talent. Eminem could easily take credit for helping Dre get back into the limelight, and Em's success also proved to Dre that he could still produce hit records which is what led to him finally sitting down and acctually producing the second Chronic album.
