20 Interesting Facts About Death Row Records.

[DANJ!]

Death Row is like... and at the same time. On one hand, that label was powerful as fukk and had it in a smash when they were on top. But that fall was fast and painful.

But it proves two things:

1- It only takes one corrupt person to drive a billion-dollar company into the ground.

2- Labels can fukk over talent all they want, but when the talent goes, the money goes with 'em. (i.e. Dre & Snoop). Death Row made more money with a handful of artists and like 7 albums between '92-'96, than they made any year after that with a million nikkas on the roster. When the original DR crew started gettin' away from the label, that was it.

I am the truest, name a rapper that I ain't influence

Actually, Young Noble said Pac wasn't really feeling Illmatic all that much when they first played it for him. But the Outlawz (who did like it) kept insisting how dope it was. This is from a Young Noble interview for some website from years back. Article is spreading misinformation.

this has never been heard or spoken of.. Pac was always a Nas fan, all the Outlawz confirmed that.

Number 8 is pretty interesting. At that point I'm sure Snoop felt like he had to get off the Row, that incident makes him look like a rappity rapping ass peon. Smh at well known Crips getting murked in retaliation for Snoop throwing up his gang signs during his show at Suge's party. Everyone knows that's part of his act.


Probably went to Suge later about the whole incident and Suge gave him the

6-0s put a hit on Snoops head for that incident

and MOB was Suges set, not a special group of hitmen, but interesting read nonetheless, but MOB did branch off Leuders

#21 suge stole dre's 2nd baby mother & impregnated her...they both have sons with this woman. When i heard that my mind was blown.

Then show me the interviews.
I know what I'm talking about. There was an interview with Young Noble years back where he spoke on them playing Illmatic for Pac. He said Pac didn't see what the big deal was at first. They kept insisting and he grew to appreciate it. I don't know where to find the interview now though. But there is no source for The Outlawz saying Pac liked Illmatic from the jump.

If you cant provide any links then its false.... Outlawz saying Pac has always been a Nas fan is widely known throughout hip hop.

but its irrelevant either way.... they were both heavily influenced by each other and respected each other .

I dont know why you Pac stans worship Suge when its clear he raped Pac for his dough just as he did all the nigggas on the label.

Its the same as when Biggie stans worship Puff.

Like your standom really goes that far?

 

[HendriX]

Snoop said Pac and Suge were mad close and had a REAL friendship..I doubt he was raping Pac money wise.

Pac went there for protection more than anything else..too bad that big motehrfukker couldn't provide it for him.

Lets See.

Suge Pays nearly $4Million in lawyer costs to help Snoop Dogg beat a murder trial

Puffy throws Shyne under the bus after SHYNE saved his life.

Suge took Pac to New York City in the height of the East/West beef with proper security i.e. 200 nikkas from Compton.

Puffy took Biggie to L.A. with Lil Cease and Lil Kim

Suge employed and gave back to nikkas in his community
Puffy dont give a fukk about anyone but himself.

Suge is a man of principle, from a street level
Puffy is a leach.
