what do you think of this man?

Fuck a Suge Knight.

Some guy is suing Snoop Dogg for allowing him to record Suge disses on a track. Now after the fact he fears for his life... notice Snoop didn't want to say the lines himself.

while I don't Condone His Tactics&Bully Ways I give Him Props for when "Death Row" was running everything He ran a tight ship.the Company was very productive&Prolific&Profitable as well.He took what Eazy E. started&ran with it.He got His Hustle on&the way that Busienss operates I can't Fault Him all the way because He truly was about His Business.

He's the modern day black Morris Levy/Tommy Motola(sp?)

If I had the chance to work with him I'd decline. Thug Knight is always in the middle of some dangerous bullshit. I don't care how great a businessman he is/was.

throw The Greatest Record Man in there Berry Gordy&then you got a Good Mixture.Suge Operates off that Mob Money&whatnot but He got His Hustle off Dick Griffey who use to Run Solar Records&Dick was a Hustler His Damn Self.Suge got His game off Him.I Applaud Him for Being Young Black&Running His thing but I just don't go for His Self-Destructive tactics.but I Give Him Props for Knowing about Industry Points,Roaylitys,Masters&Publishing.He is also a True Honest Reflection of the Industry IMHO:the Bully tactics of what you don't see.Every Label in Rap after "Ruthless Records" Models themselves after "Death Row" Records.when you can have the 1-2 Punch of Dre&Snoop,then 2Pac was the Icing on the cake&Sell The Dogg Pound,Lady of Rage,Soundtracks,etc.. they had a Helluva Run.Ain't no Nice Guys or Girls Running the Industry&it's all about getting your Hustle on.

Snoop has to Pay Suge a Dollar off Every Album He sells for at least another 2-3 Albums.Snoop has His Pop Pass but has been Seriously on Cruise Control.Snoop is One of the Baddest MC's Ever IMHO but time hasn't showed alot of Growth on His Part.Suge got Snoop off that Murder Charge with the Right Lawyer&Defense,but in Snoop's Defense Suge made Him pay for His Career by going out&bringing in 2Pac&making Snoop a Side-line Cheerleader.the Death Row Era will always make a Great Story so many plots twists&turns.

I don't know if Snoop has big cajones, or if he's stupid. Either way, it seems like a death wish. Thug Knight is not small time. And the fool has no conscience when it comes to the value of human life.

Supernova said:

and I hope for Snoop's Sake He didn't go to a Laker game with Suge because 2Pac&Left-Eye did.He took back the Masters from Dre,Vannelia Ice off His First Album,Dogg Pound,Death Row Era 2Pac plus a Couple of other things,and Snoop's thing Suge rolls that.with that Mob Money&Protection Suge can pretty much get down with whomever He wants.He got Irv Gotti&Ja Rule trying to Merge "Murder Inc.." into His thing.stay tunned!!

I loved Death Row when they were at their prime...don't know what I think about The Row that's what they call themeselves now...it seems their top album sales are off of old Tupac recordings which they always call unreleased or never before heard...but I swear a few of the songs off the very last Pac project were on Soundtracks from past movies and another few were remixes...come on when Pac died they had 150 completed songs set for release and I know they haven't all been heard yet...They just milken tha brother or what??? Sometimes I wish Suge woulda never gotten rid of Dre cuz when they were a unit things was bangin...

mistermaxxx said:

:O


Sure, but are Vanilla Ice's Master recordings REALLY important?

Supernova said:

back then Vanilla Ice's recordings were what funded the birth of Death Row Records...even if V Ice had to sign them over to Suge while hanging upside down by his ankles from the 5th Story of a building...

pejman said:

Oh, I'm sure with the way his album sold over a decade ago they could have funded a lot of things. He was the biggest thing since sliced bread for one album. But that was then...


Rock and Roll!

I think it's a damn shame to celebrate thuggish bullshit & he's SO happy to do that. He's an embarrassment, it's really sad. Got the nerve to be cute too

stymie said:

That pretty much sums it up for me!

pejman said:

they Helped Fund Death Row but more Importantly they got Suge into the Publishing Game.Ice's First Album Sold over 10 Million Copies&that was a Huge Piece of the Pie for Suge.

Which is why I said what I said in my previous post.
