Suge Knight:"Dr.Dre & Snoop Dogg's Jealousy Of Tupac Is What fukked Up Deathrow Records"

[Jerz-2]

let’s start with this:

- Too much gangsta shít at the offices
- Michel’le letting everyone smash
- Everyone’s poor work ethic exposed when Pac showed up
- Suge not listening to Harry O and staying invisible
- Dre not being active in the company despite being a boss because he just wanted to fück around in the studio at his own pace
- Not pumping out enough music when it came to everyone not named 2Pac
- Major lack of professionalism when it came to running the company like an actual business

Yup.

• And tryinta "G" his way into corporate America, which brought federal and financial heat on the label.

• Not fairly compensating his artists, instead paying them with cars and houses which were actually in Suge's name or his wife's name.

Dude brought about his own downfall by, like you said, unscrupulous business practices and too much gangsta b.s. How you rob all your artists and STILL end up broke?

Karma that’s how

If the nikka Suge said Pac was a bytch ass fake nikka y’all same nikkas shytting on him would be praising him. nikkas loathe Pac on this site. As if Suge wouldn’t know the moves he had to make to keep Snoop happy and not jealous. Daz baby moms said Suge had to buy Snoop everything he bought Pac cause Snoop was jealous.

 

[mbewane]

Yup.

Folks gotta take advantage of all we know about Death Row now. It was wild over there but Suge took care of EVERYONE. all of those artists in the pre-Pac days who weren’t making $ for the company spent money like Doggystyle had their name on it. Everyone lived either in the same housing complex that DR paid for or were in hotels living it up. Danny Boy and Jewell admitted it.

I’m sure everyone was hyped and pissed at the same time when Pac arrived because it’s like Kobe signing to your team but now y’all better come to the gym at 5am every day and workout before regular practice.

You had a bunch of non Dre/Daz/Quik/Johnny J producers over there and no one was using them — but Pac did. Like I said before, they saw what Warren did and that should’ve been the cue because that was like 2 years before Pac arrived.

If I got a Death Row co-sign I’m using it. Find a lane instead of waiting to be assigned one because you could save Def Jam, like Warren did.

What's the story behind Warren G never joining DR and not working more with them? Honest question, don't really know about all the the stuff going on behind the scenes

Death Row already had baggage, that label was not survive past 10 years with or without Pac, because of the fukkery and gang affiliations.

And who cares if Lady of Rage "stood up to Pac", she called herself a gangsta she's not a toddler.

Ok weirdo ass nikka. Your king was a gangster ass ballerina who thought he was a gangster then the real gangster came thru and ended his chapter.

He was in snoops ear telling him not to sign with Suge. Telling him to check the contracts and Suge didn’t like him for that so he would bully Warren a few times. Had his goons beat him up and take his chain once

Dre didn't want him there either, he never seemed to rate Warren highly as a producer. There's an interview where Warren said he took the Regulate track to Dre and he wasn't impressed.

 

[R=G]

Mobb Deep had a Pac dis record on their album.

Nas went at him face to face and they squashed it.

Thinking everyone was scared of Tupac is a lie.

Nas went to him face to face with a crew...but he wasn't gonna respond to Tupac on record in 96. He was on his mob phase during that 2nd album.

Scared? None of those nyggas stepped up to Tupac and Suge Knight at that point. Only 30 yrs later are nyggas brave and courageous....

 

[R=G]

Sam Sneed tried to do everything you mentioned and look how they did him.

Blasphemy! Everyone on LA LA retaliated against a song that wasn't even about them. Biggie went at them live on radio when they came to NY on some "peace" shyt.

Tupac Shakur didn't cone to damn NY on peace. It wasn't about New York...he called our an entire coast and they did nothing. They talked tough AFTER the fact.

This is false. Last Meal had no Neptunes productions and that is not only one of Snoop's best, but one of his biggest albums. Blue Carpet Treatment, while having like two Neptunes tracks, was mostly other producers. It also boasted another #1 for Snoop, which was the song with Akon. Ego Trippin' had "Sexual Eruption" which also wasn't produced by The Neptunes. You also bave Tha Eastsidaz first album, which went platinum, and no Neptunes.

Top Dogg was on NL and was piff and had 0 Neptunes tracks.

Keep in mind dre was in one of Warrens videos for his Regulate album forget which one. So many ways I think. And then Dre gave Warren the beat for runnin with no breaks which was supposed to be on Doggystyle so it’s not like Dre completely abandoned him

Approaching a man face to his face is realer than a diss track. You acting like Pac was by himself. They both had a crew. Nas stepped to him and Pac apologized and said it was a misunderstanding. Bottom
line is Nas had no fear of him. Eric B told Tupac not to play with Nas because he's not a punk.

Chris Lightly backed Suge down.

He didn't try Fat Joe.

Luke had his people stomp out Death Row affiliates and ran them out of Miami.

Henchmen and Jack were running around LA freely.

Death Row were bullies. When the other side was with the action they took losses.

Biggie calling for consequences on live radio is doing nothing? I'm also thinking no one knew Pac was there (his cameo was so small). What was Mobb supposed to do, go to the radio station and do a live diss freestyle? NY NY wasn't even bubbling when the video was shot.
