He never had anything to do qith NWA. He formed Death Row Records with Dre, after Dre left NWA. I never understood why Dre brought him in either, since it never seemed like he brought anything to the table.

Good riddance.

Yup he basically ran the company as a gang. The culture at the time lent itself to the faith/pac type beefs and over the top angst and animosity.

imo Atlanta’s emergence really added a stabilizing force to the industry in the ‘00s

This ain't his first rodeo in jail but this stay may be a little longer. Unless he gets put in gen pop and crosses the path of Simon Adebisi. Fucked

[El Diablo 4232]

Was this for running that dude over?

Knight collapsed during one court hearing, two of his former attorneys were indicted on witness-tampering charges, and his fiancee pleaded no contest to selling video of Knight hitting the two men with his truck.

His attorney Albert DeBlanc Jr., appointed by the court five months ago, was his 16th, and Knight tried to fire him and get yet another lawyer just a day before the deal was reached. DeBlanc declined comment Thursday.

While awaiting trial, Knight was also accused of threatening "Straight Outta Compton" director F. Gary Gray.

When will he be convicted of killing Tupac and/or Biggie?

[Post Oak 20208]

Honestly I'm surprised he hasn't been killed yet.

For a middle class white boy from Waco I'd like to thank him for his impact on my life. 

[Bateshorn 9927]

He's a bad mother fucker.  I can't remember what actor I saw doing an interview about the fact they were at a Hollywood party and Suge and his crew walked in and  half the people immediately left out of pure fear.

He had nothing to do with killing Tupac, just Biggie. And almost certainly never.

You should watch the interview with Vanilla Ice where he talks about Suge.  He talks about how Suge's guys showed up, told him they were getting a cut of his music, and basically implied they'd ghost him right then and there if he didn't agree.  He agreed.

I'm hoping that asshole gets ganked in prison.  This really couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

[Deej 76754]

I'm hoping the sisters take a liking to him for awhile, first.

[TwiceHorn 31438]

Man, I just happened to land on All Eyez on Me tonight.  Granted rap culture is a "layer" or two removed from drug dealing culture, but it's alarmingly similar.

I was reading the Don Winslow books on Mexican cartels, which are fiction, but based on truth, pretty closely in a lot of instances.  For all the straight-up business involved in both record production and sales and drug manufacture and sales, and some of it is pretty sophisticated stuff, the "beefs" and violence are just so strikingly juvenile.

Maybe this is a poor analogy, but it's my visceral reaction to all of it.  It's grown men that never grew the fuck up.

Good riddance.

Suge got Dre out of his contract with EazyE/Jerry Heller/Ruthless Records where Dre was making pennies on the dollar that he would make with Death Row.  Dre was an employee of RR but became a part owner of Death Row with Suge.

I forgot about that EasyE ass whooping and the threat to Jerry.

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

Back in the 1990s when I thought watching MTV News was cool, seemed like Suge Knight was mentioned every other sentence.

[Dutchrudder 11133]

Good. Fuck that guy.

[LongestHorn 759]

May he rot there.
