I was just about to clown tf out of you but a hood content creator always makes up for it. You’re good bro 💪🏾
@@joshuacovington799 mafucca from iowa
TH-cam is messed up
All Suge had to do was let Dre run all the content in the studio and keep the gang scene away from the label while laying in the cut like Al Haymon.
If he followed that, he would probably be a billionaire today. Dr Dre was the reason behind all of it.
Facts
Suges crazy ass made DeathRow look like the record label for anybody who would commit murder in the morning and proceed to perform on stage by night.
Do your homework… most of Produced by Dre was actually produced by Daz
@@GlockOsaurus69 well it is called “Death Row” after all lmao. Kinda fitting now
@@locofrazo No it was not. Easy equation here. Why did NWA and Ruthless blow up? Answer: Dre. Why did Deathrow blow up? Answer: Dre. Why did Aftermath get bigger then Deathrow ever was: Answer: Dre. And then take a look at the other players: Where is Suge? Answer: Broke as fuck in jail. Where is the genious DAZ: A nobody... DAZ continued to be average as long as it was a coop with Snoop and DRE. You can see the picture clear as day yourself. Why did many of the beefs between labels even exist in the firstplace? Answer: They fought over who could have Dre on the label.. you see.. DAZ wouldnt even be anybody without Dre.. he learned everything from Dre, even used his equipment.
Eazy never got beat up cause Suge knew if he touched Eazy the whole Compton crips would be after him, Suge even tried to get Bg knockout and his freinds to join his label but they were loyal to Eazy
were you there ?
Back then Bloods where ruling and Suge was worst than now even if Suge touched Eazy ,Crips knew that bloods where United than ever
I was there that’s on piru
Bloods weren't scared of crips lol
@@makavelithedon495 it's basic knowledge if you know about ruthless records and death rows feud, eazy e had the crips behind him suge wouldn't do nothing to him cause otherwise the crips would be onto him.
The world's most notorious record label. Deathrow Records was both an American dream and a nightmare
Idk about most notorious, Deathlike Silence might have something to say about that.
@@PaxBisonica89 FACTS
Bad Boy was a better label
Damn Straight
Lol America is not the world. They're not famous outside of america, so no worlds notorious. Stop the yap and dramatization. Ya look foolish 😂😂😂
"After pac and biggie, the east and west coast came together and we all vowed never to let a beef get this far again. And thats an agreement thats held to this day" - Snoop Dogg
Well, instead of coastal, it's back to old boroughs, neighborhoods, gang sets, etc. But not East-West.

Pac is waiting for Suge in hell
Without Pac, Dre, and Snoop Death row ain’t shit

LMFAO.
Daz. Kurupt. Rage. Nate Dogg.
@@listentothenightfilms fr fake rap fans think it was just them but kurupt daz nate dogg and more are just left out🤦♂️🤦♂️
Without pac, Dre still on top. Look where he at now...
Da Fuck wrong with you...
After Dre left death row was still on top..after tupac died death row fell apart!
So you already know who s the smartest and the best ;)
in MY opinion deathrow in 96 with pac, dre and snoop was the peak of hiphop not only for west cost but in general.
Like imagine if things were different and better and they carried on to have eminem and 50 as a part of the label, the early 2000’s would have been theirs too!!
I totally agree that was the peak. However there is no way possible that things would have worked out any different thanks to suge, he was just far too reckless and honestly a very poor businessman. He did not have the humility to put his pride on the back burner and that will Doom anybody.
It would have been really really cool to see Tupac under just Dre's Wing. If suge was not a part of it, I genuinely believe that Dre would still have him alive today. But he did not have that kind of leadership or someone who had his best interest at heart when Dre left. Instead he was left with somebody who didn't care about his future, he only cared about how much money he could make him in the short term. Tupac had the world at his fingertips and it was ripped away from him by a jackass with the mind of a bratty 13-year-old. Pac was really learning things you could see just before he died just how much he was learning and if somebody was there to stoke that education instead of trying to extinguish it, Tupac could have had an even bigger impact than he already has, and without a doubt the absolute best catalog of any artist. It genuinely breaks my heart that that was ripped away from him in multiple ways.
They would've fizzled out just like the rest....
Cash money ,no limit ect.
@@dupes6248 true 💔.
Suge is very greedy and like u said he wouldn’t change his ways for nothing so it would have been doomed even if pac was alive.
@@homerdadon6363 u can’t compare them to cash money cause it’s just mot the same but i see ur point.
@@notinteresteddYou failed to get the point,NO ONE STAYS ON TOP....remember ELVIS???? Garth Brooks ect....
Your opinion lacks logic.... remember no label, group ect. stay on top....TLC,JODECI ect...
“‘Death Row’ is the label that pays me”. ~Snoop
Recklessness is a great strategy when you have nothing to lose, but Suge never learned to outgrow it. I am fully convinced that Suge directly led to the death of Pac, Eazy (he joked once about how easy it would be for someone to slip aids in a needle in someone’s arm), Biggie, and many more. He asked for trouble, and he got it many times over.
I agree suge was a huge problem but I don’t know if death row would be as popular without him
But I guess we will never know
There is no denying that ....suge was the mastermind behind these deaths even biggie
@@Pabloladin It was mostly Diddy. It was a mistake for him to take Biggie to Cali after Tupac’s death. Biggie had some part to play because he made a song called “Going Back To Cali”. Another reason why I say that is because he performed Long Kiss Goodnight(2Pac Diss) on the LA radio station. Sad to say, but Biggie should’ve known better. RIP though.
Noone can deny death row was the best label in the rap game back then. Actually getting a tattoo of their symbol next week. Always thought it was cooling looking.
Lady of rage doesnt get enough shes amazing
Yo for real. Female emcees/rappers get overlooked constantly and it's bullshit. Gangsta boo, Charlie Baltimore, Jean Grae, LoR, etc... the list goes on.
Concise and informative video. I was in high school, living in Southern California during the beginnings of "Death Row," and I remember hearing a lot about these events when they were happening. This video filled in many of the blanks from that era so thank you for that.
I'd like to offer a suggestion for a future video topic, that being of director F. Gary Gray, who, aside from becoming a feature film director (starting with 1995's "Friday") has directed numerous music videos for artists ranging from Dr. Dre and Ice Cube (Gray's directorial debut being another Ice Cube project, that being the "It Was a Good Day" music video,) to TLC, Cypress Hill, Outkast, and even Whitney Houston. I believe his career is quite fascinating if considering the variety of artists' music genres and even feature film genres F. Gary Gray has directed.
Don't talk about gangster rap unless you know what you are talking about, 9 times out of 10 you haven't a clue
- Cube
It’s crazy that Too $hort and Richie Rich could’ve signed with Death Row if they wanted to, would’ve been a loaded roster of talent already even before them.
And after Snoop releases an album as Death Row's owner he tries to turn the whole company into an NFT
Suge's terrifying man...
😎😎😎
Nah Suge is a legend that saved a lot of people
but he will do anything to protect himself I guess
Was a terrifying man until he got cold knocked out in that club by that little dude 🤣
He's the Kingpin of Hip-Hop
If not mistaking Snoop had a record label before Death Row. It was called Doggy Style Records. He had two groups they were The Eastsidaz and Doggy's Angels. I don't think the record label did so well.
Ruthless Records was a real label, Death Row was an abomination 😱
Man imagine if Eazy survived AIDS, would’ve been the magic Johnson of hip hop. Ruthless would’ve been unstoppable.
@@nonameman7114 Eazy is most likely a billionaire right now if he were still living.
@@michaelterrell2108 no doubt man,it’s a shame he didn’t get the chance to run his own business without Jerry heller.
@@nonameman7114 Jerry Heller was a snake. Cube and Dre warned Eazy but he found out the hard way. NWA gets back together and they dominate the rap game for years most likely taking down Death Row in the process.
We know why death row feel because a guy with power can't handle it
Knowing that Death Row is now in Snoop Dogg hand, let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself again.
Well snoop knows what's up, he knew how serious it was so it's obvious he won't allow anything negative to come in the way
Nah, rappers are snowflakes now.
R.I.P. Jewel.
Great video bro I absolutely love your research. I wouldn’t say it was the main label. L.A. still had Eazy-E’s ruthless records and bad boy records on the east coast. After Eazy-E passed away ruthless records still released Eazy-E songs which did awesome on the streets.
Damn, Suge was the best and worst thing that happened to 90s rap
but dababy released it in 2019

The Rise Tupac the fall is Tupac what he gave he took it back when they betrayed him
No the rise was Dre & Snoop, and the fall was Suge & Pac. Unfortunately for them, they created way too many enemies (in the industry & the streets) to keep track of.
@@Messiah_Black Sadly. It’s a shame how it all ended. Just like Prodigy said, “You would think getting your head shot is enough but then now you wanna go against my team. You must’ve been drunk when you wrote that shit. Too bad you had to do it to your own self”. After he got shot in Quad Studios, he should’ve fell back with all the gang violence and getting back at people. He had beef with Dr Dre for leaving Death Row, which was one of the reasons for their falling out, but in all honesty it was the best choice for him because look at where he is today. Pac was smart, but he was all about revenge, rage, resentment, and retaliation. If Pac wasn’t surrounded by gangstas, he would still be here living lavish, but he messed it all up. Tupac beat up a gang member out of loyalty to the Death Row camp, but that loyalty got him killed. He had nothing to gain at the end. RIP though.
@@IkennaKonkwo2-lz8lj You gotta think, Pac was only 25 at the time. As intelligent as he was, he was still young & easily ruled by his emotions. To go through being set up & shot, going to jail, & hearing all these rumors spread, thoughts of revenge was only natural. He didn’t have the foresight to see that taking this path was only going to lead to his destruction. He though he was safe being under the protection of Suge Knight & Death Row’s connections (both legal & street). So I give him some grace for his hubris now. That whole East/West era was bad (though some great music came out of it) and unfortunately, there was no positive way for that war to have ended…
Ironically enough though, it wasn’t the beef w/ Bad Boy that took him out, it was his “gang affiliation.” Pac lived in California for years by staying neutral. Once he sided w/ Suge & M.O.B. That’s when he started having problems in his own backyard.
Honestly, when suge got arrested, no one felt bad for him because when you have a history of violence you’re bound to have karma come after your ass
It’s not alledgedly . He ran over one man , then reversed over him to get away.
😂😂😂
Denzel was crooked before he toke it !
Pac is the goat
You misspelled dre
@@klauscata225 nope
@@edgeisthegoat well 100% not the goat because he got involved in stupid "gangsta" sh*t and now he's dead. He paid the price. Meanwhile, dre, ice cube, snoop and many other are alive and they can tell the story an spend the money. This is the real succes
@@klauscata225 bro it about raping tupac was the Best dutung his time
Talk about the rise and fall of Motown ❤️🙏🏽
If Dre stayed maybe Snoop would have stayed. Even with the sufferings in '96 '97 and '98 if they held out then Eminem is on Death Row and 50 too.
Damn Michel'le
This was very interesting. A lot here I knew NOTHING about.
Death Row is a Legacy that will live on forever💯
For old school fans
Non fans wont know what Death Row is in the next 20 years
Even modern rapper fans, Lil baby fans or even Eminem fans dont even know what Death Row exactly was now
@@schmidt8148 you trying to say ppl will forget about 2pac in 20yrs ?
You outta ur mind. If you not a fan just say that 👍
Well too bad that business got shut down because of the violence. It has a reputation of a dangerous label.
Do a no limit rise and Fall by Master P
Man i got love fo suge he was a real nigga who handled the business and hip hop
Sad fact: "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" was one of the last songs Tupac ever recorded. It was recorded 6 days before he was shot.
Na. Recorded in October of 95 the songs on the Don Killuminati 7 Day Theory was his last recorded songs. His last song ever recorded was let’s get ready to rumble for Tysons fight in Vegas he attended
@@JM9220Hail Mary, To Live And Die In LA. 2 of his last songs.
Well suge knight and dr dre are both from Compton
@DJ Shawty Swag him and snoop dog
If you're going to pronounce tupacs last name -do it right.if you're going to pronounce the owner of interscope name-do it right.pac wasn't locked up for the charge you claimed.
feb 1995, tupac gets locked in for sex abuse charges
I had to laugh when he said he made them bark like a dog. Reminds me of coming to America, “stand on one leg, bark like a dog” 😂😂
Your favorite rapper from Death Row?
Dr. Dre
Common man why is that even a question , Tupac was death row
Tupac
Of course Tupac is my favorite but Daz is the most important… All of the songs you like by Death Row Daz did the tracks for not Dr. Dre
Snoop
Pac should have stayed with digital underground
Doing that would’ve altered hiphop forever. Just look at 50 Cents movie, Get Rich or Die Tryin, after Pac everyone was a banger but before Pac ppl were more careful with associating themselves with the gang culture. Had Pac never left Digital Underground gangsta rap and what it influenced would have stayed on the west coast and not spread out across the country like it did with Pac making gang culture cool.
Suge Knight was the real life Wilson Fisk
Congratulations Snoop Dogg to bring back death row 👏👏👏👏 that's was remarkable
Dummy!
Who was Suge looking at when he heard the sentence?
Damn this was a good video like earned :)

This should be called the rise and fall and resurrection of death row
Cool name, but the title is based upon while Suge was the CEO of Death Row.
Snoop Dogg get the right thing left out of death row and with no limit in 98
Snoop may have had the longest career by doing that but he is also the ultimate dick riding two faced snake by doing what he did.
Who narrarated this, a text to speech robot?
“The Rise and Fall” but focusing more on the fall. Great!😒

Yes always

It's Iovine (iovine)
The law system in America is truly horrifying
Owned by Snoop. Thank you!!
Whats that song at 10 min ?
There's a rumor that Suge dangled Rob Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice out of a window and threatened to drop him unless he stopped making music.
You needed a spec ops military team or Sinaloa Cartel for security against Suge’s boyz 😂
Ay please do the rise and fall of ruthless records
2PAC didnt talk to Snoop in his finals days cause he was in the studio making diss songs about biggie and puff and after that Snoop went on to radio and said he was cool with them
FAKE
Pac was really disappointed with Snoop. He felt Snoop was disloyal to him.
Did you say they, "threatened Easy E with leed pipes?"
Eazy was never touched by Suge. Even Suge denies that. Eazy was couched by Jerry Heller to exaggerate the incident so he could receive more money from Dre while at Deathrow. Suge and his Crew actually threatened Jerry Heller which is why the Jewish defense league came in and told Suge to back off.
Apparently the JDL tried to extort Tupac. I saw it in a FBI file
4:21 looks like marlon wayans
If Suge knight was about his purpose Suge could've been a billionaire today. Think about it. He would still own death row. He would own all the masters to the songs. He probably would've still had dre. He would've had a hand in Eminem, 50 cent, g unit. IE death row east. He probably would've had a hand in beats by Dre. Could've produced new artists. If death row was still around he probably could've had Nipsey Hussle, j rock, YG, K dot, slim 400, etc etc etc under one banner as the new death row. PAC and biggie would still be alive. This is one of those what if scenarios similar to Marvel. Suge could've been up there with Jay z. He could've been the hip hop version of Clarence avant. All that tryin to keep it gangsta gets a person nowhere.
Diddy capitalized off Biggie's death and became a billionaire. Suge could have done the same after Pac died, but Suge couldn't see the big picture. Now he is rotting away in prison.
Wise words 🙌
Yeah. Sadly everything that happen to Suge went down the way it went down. Tupac probably would’ve had Makaveli Records. Tupac could’ve done more things in his life, but what happened to him in Vegas led to a tragic end.
Jimmy Lovin? I O Vine
This is so off.
Some fact are straight wrong here, some things are out of order and some are worded to make it sound difrent than it was
I was honestly scrolling through to make sure this comment wasn’t a thing yet, but you beat me to it… Kinda funny how dude completely left out the fact Eazy was going to get paid for 6 years off Dre and Death Row releases since that was the deal… DRE DAY ONLY MEANT EAZY’s PAY DAY
@@OooSooTrippy thats not all, no mention of interscope who made the deal and gave suge the money to bail Pac out.
Also I’ve never heard anyone ever say that the D.O.C was part owner of Death row. It always just been dre and suge
Jimmy Lovin. Lmao
There songs wasn’t about drugs sex it was about Reality
Keep it GANGSTA
Suge went to jail because of it. Not only was Suge gone, but so was his company. As one label is down, another one is up. Don’t f-ck up any business opportunities by getting into brawls and shootouts, because another corporation will either take everything you own, or aim for the top spot. Suge didn’t learn this. He had a successful run with Death Row, but he went the wrong way with it.
mans had the whole beginning of the video in his description xD
Jimmy Lovin? Lol Mc lovin’s brother lmao
Suge Knight had said that tupac is not dead on TMZ
400m company down the drain.
The man destroyed himself.
If he wasn't so busy being a thug and gangster he could be a billionaire like Diddy
Suge did not get into a fight with Orlando it was 2pac
He Tupac shielded shugg and thats the truth
Skinny 2pac is no way shielding a 400 pound suge
Suge and Dre the two are Evil men! 😈 puffy too!
I mean, it was called DEATH ROW records for a reason 😭
7:18 How embarrassing lol. That elbow face
in my opinion this video is no where near the full story of death row, not all of the facts in this video are even true

You know nothing about the rise and fall of Death Row records.
Trouble is, the rise and fall of Death Row is so complex to summarise in a video. It would be difficult for most people to talk about. Yes there’s some inaccuracies in this but then again the vid still shows how messed up things were at that record label. The beefs surrounding 2Pac needs its own video. You’d have to do a movie / doc-series on it.
