Death Row In Big Trouble

Today, Death Row Records was raided by police, here's the link:

http://ktla.trb.com/news/...2rap.story

While I think all the talk about Biggie and Tupac and movies related to them has stirred police's interest, being that former Death Row members are turning up dead was kind of like that straw that broke the camel's back. I really don't know because I'm not really into gangsta rap.

It would be interesting to see a documontary on how Suge Knight went from a gangster to CEO seemingly overnight. Something smells crooked but then again most rich Americans have some history of crookedness behind them.

That's an interesting assumption. How so? Please elaborate. I wouldn't say "most" rich Americans are shady. Most of the shady people I've had the unfortunance to come in contact with are not rich at all, but are very skilled at getting people to give them things that never seem to get paid for. However, I've seen the same crookedness go on all over the world.

Death Row should change their name of their record label it seems that label is Cursed.

I guess I'm referring to "entrepeneurs" who obtained their wealth at the expense of others, through exploitation, etc. I can't imagine all these rich Texan oil men didn't step all over people. Obviously, I shouldn't generalize but that was what I was trying to say...
