Case in point: Dr. Dre and city of Detroit have been arguing more than a decade about the hip hop star's 2000 "Up in Smoke" tour, which caused controversy thanks to violent and sexual images the city deemed inappropriate and a violation of local ordinances.

The case is about to go before the Michigan Supreme Court. [LASIS]
