1 Thing I never Got About Suge

[O.G.]

If you are Dre, How do you trust Suge as a business partner who just got you out of a record deal by bumrushing an office with a crew of niggas with baseball bats? The bar was already set for future fuckery from the beginning of the relationship.

^^ I heard a old demo where snoop was calling himself snoop, snoopy and doggy Dogg. And this was before he met dre tho.

word,I could be wrong about that part.But I remember Suge saying(he could've been lying lol) that when he first got

Snoop he was going by Snooper Duper,but he also said go look at the Deep Cover video and see how Snoop looks

like Special Ed,Suge said it was his idea to get him a stylist and have his hair braided to give him a more "West Coast"

look.

Lool yea I've read that quote. He also said snoop wanted to be a blood but suge said "your hood got 20's, insanes and neighborhood crips, choose one. I didn't know he'll pick all 3"

Lol yea but he lied about that rap name part tho.

And he also said that he and Dre had a deep emotional conversation about how Dre was so distraught because he'd never be White. Suge told him his best course of action was to marry a white woman so at least maybe his kids will be half-white.......

And he said that Dre called 2pac stupid because he didn't know the difference between gay and Bi during a meeting and that he admitted to liking men's assholes.

Suge Knight be talking bra

Or about how when the deathrow artist when on a vacation together in the bahamas and pac was drowning the pool, so suge jumped in to save him and when he picked him up he patted him on the back and said "its ok, lil buddy, I got you"

I think the answers lies with 2Pac

Suge was the real life Debo

Suge = Mad Dog No Good from Martin

 

[black caesar]

From 1991 - 1995 Deathrow was all Dr. Dre.

Dre signed Snoop and the dogg pound.

Dre put the albums together.

Suge just sat back and collected his checks as half owner.

When Dre noticed how Suge ran things when he started flexing his muscles, he got out. Smartest thing he ever did.

Yes he had dr. Dre who was talented and chronic was a good album but that still doesn't explain the business success

There are lots of good albums that record labels dont ride into millions of dollars

Illmatic and reasonable doubt never turned those companies into 300 million dollars

Hell all of wu tang was never close to being worth 300 million

Simply saying "chronic was dope" is not a detailed enough reason for how death row was so successful...and if it was simply the influence of dre, then how come that aftermath album flopped?

Someone behind death row was good at the business, who was it, cuz it sure as hell wasn't suge

Who did the marketing, promotion, concert reps, who did the accounting, budgeting, finances....

Having a dope produce is just the beginning, getting to 300 mil takes true business skill.

That would be Harry O and David Kenner

Didnt Jimmy Iovine have his back business wise for a couple years?

Didnt Jimmy Iovine have his back business wise for a couple years?

@Sion Nope Jimmy got Suge and Dre from Dick Griffey who also had a stake in Death Row records. Jimmy snaked them all. The documentary I posted will explain a lot.

 

[MasterJayN100]

the problem started with hiphop when niggaz like Suge and the west coast brought Gang life in it.then it went down from there

 

[T. Sanford]

I gotta question. I always say it is terrible business when you acting out in greed & not paying your top assets (Pac, Snoop & Dre) & keeping them unhappy. If you going to be greedy then at least let it be Eastwood, Sam Sneed or somebody not getting paid but not your big investments

yeah,Dick Griffey warned them of this too,I think he had a conversation with Dre and he said "Damn,they're doing it

to you again,the old divide and conquer". People also forget that Death Row records saved Interscope, Interscope was

going bankrupt.

 

[trendsetta1030]

He had a take over mentality tha plugs n tha savages n found his money maker n was feared

 

[janklow]

Suge: I get 90% you get 3%

Industry Guy: uhhh ok what about the other 7%?

Suge: Nigga fuck all that! now drink this pee

holy shit why was this the funniest thing i read today

 

[eternal soldier]

Suge = Mad Dog No Good from Martin

Dead wrong lmao

 

[zombie]

Like it or not suge is smart and the smartest thing a business man do is find partners and employees who are extremely valuable and use them to full effect.

 

[loch121]

Suge gooned his way in and had Harry O,Dre,and superstar artists

He came up off surrounding himself with ppl who knew the business and genius talented artists.

A chimp could have got money in rap at that time.Money was falling out the sky in rap,which led to the industry's demise.

They had Jimmy Iovine and consultants. Interscope did a lot of the promo and marketing along with Death Row.

Once Dre left,it was a wrap.Suge doesn't know anything about music.

The word is that Harry O is an informant. At least J. Prince hinted at it on Scarface's album.
