Published 2022-05-03
The final boss when it comes to merging the worlds of hip-hop and gang-related, Marion “Suge” Knight rose from football prospect to a label kingpin that guided the west coast to greatness in the mid 90’s. But in doing so, he muddied the waters between where the business of Death Row Records ended and where street enterprise began.

Suge was literally the Kingpin (from Marvel comics) of hip hop
-
The Most Villianous Man of HipHop
-
Suge Knight's own ego did him in at end. "We all make choices but in the end our choices make us." - Andrew Ryan
-
Dude's like a living comic book villain but for hip hop
-
I find Suge Knight to be a fascinating figure to read about in Hip-Hop/Rap history. I would love for a film studio to make a biopic on the man. Seeing him poor, then rise up to be a powerful man in the music industry to his downfall.
-
If Suge was willing to kill because of how he was portrayed in a movie I think that his image is rather truthful to who he is.
-
There’s no coincidence that death row fell apart after Dre left, Suge was the muscle not the mind
-
Death row was never going to survive with a name like that. You always have to remember the energy things hold. Now look, incarcerated, many broke, many dead.
-
The different between master P and Suge knight is that master P is a gangster who became CEO meanwhile Suge was a CEO who wanted to be a Gangster and that took him and his career down.
-
Suge knight is the version of uncle Phil if he was an inmate
-
Suge helping helping folks from having their homes get foreclosed on, while meanwhile doing some of the shit he did, reminds me of some Al Capone shit. Al Capone would open soup kitchens. Not because he wanted to help people but purely as a strategy to manipulate the public into seeing him as a Robin-hood figure so people would be afraid of the backlash they'd get for going after him.
-
He 100% killed eazy with that method.
-
Em, 50, The Game, Kendrick, all woulda been under Death Row had Suge played his role which would have kept Dre around. And he for sure got Pac killed indirectly by having him even being aware of beef y'all have in a hood he ain't even from.
-
Suge is really jus like King Pin from SpiderMan
-
That's 1st clip of him talking about Eazy- E makes me think he did it
-
The draft you posted an hour ago had me thinking Suge unalived the video lolol I was like whaaaa LMAOOOO
-
It’s actually crazy to hear people defend Suge. The guy was a monster, regardless of whether or not he put you on - he did so at the cost of others smfh.
-
Goes to show that rap is entertainment, and not meant to be an endorsement. When even the people who were on the streets would rather go back, you know shit is scary
-
Suge lived the american dream. Take what you can take. Leach of others. Rule by fear.
-
If Pac left I do generally think he'd still be alive today, he'd of been put in the recent Superbowl. And possibly been the biggest artist today
