Suge fumbled being in the NFL and being in position to be one of the greatest black CEO’s of a highly successful record company, he dropped the ball badly.
Crazy lol. Snoop went at Eazy with dre, then when it came to Pac he didn’t want no problems with his biggie 😂 Pac probably thought Niggas would hold him down through his riding, but they didn’t.. biggie even had snoop trailer shot up, Pac was riding for them niggas… swear you sit back and analyze the whole situation, Pac got done dirty
"And some things you outgrow," -- Kurupt. You just skipped right over this part, huh? Suge never outgrew the g sh##, which is why he is where he is, and why Dr. Dre is where he is.
I lived and grew up in this era, yet didn't know what was going on behind the music. Of course being 11 yo, you wouldn't in most cases. Crazy to see what it was like behind the scenes
This is out of context but this channel could be bigger than Vladtv. I’m new to it and I’m enjoying these vids more than his beings how the interviewer isn’t all condescending or talking about himself more than the guest.
Kurupt not lying. It's documented that the first thing 2Pac said when he approached Orlando at the MGM was, "You from the South?," Baby Lane nodded & that's when Pac punched him. It was definitely about where you from on Deathrow.
For one, the D.O.C was an outsider from jump with him being from Dallas, Texas. Hell, the D.O.C would have made it big regardless. He would have made it signing with J.Prince's Rap-A-Lot Records in Houston, Texas being apart of the Geto Boys. Also, the D.O.C was protected, by Eazy E at Ruthless Records, as an artist and asset to the record label. At Death Row, Suge Knight seen the D.O.C as expendable.
D.O.C. was a liability out the gate because he was a self admitted alcoholic that would cause unnecessary issues. If we being all the way real about it
D.O.C. was signed to basically a slave deal at Ruthless. Iono about that "protection" stuff. Being broke with a platinum album ain't exactly being secure.
Im assuming that in late ‘94 early 95 Dre was already thinking about creating Aftermath he just didnt know how to execute it when Suge Knight was around
Bottom line is without Eazy it wouldn’t been no Cold187um (above the law) without Dre it wouldnt Eazy as what we know him as Eazy would’ve just been a record producer and Record company owner. Remember Dre talked Eazy into going in the studio and recording. It all falls down on had it not been for Dre
The "module"...I love when ppl employ the use of a particular word yet don't really know how to use it...Or probably what it means for that matter! Lmao
PAC and Michel’le might have played a part but that was later towards the end because Dr Dre already wanted to leave Death Row before Michel’le was messing with Suge (which allegedly started in 1995) and before PAC joined Death Row (Pac joined in late 1995). Dre already had thoughts on leaving Death Row since 1994 (snoops murder trial). The main issue why Dre left Death Row was because of the hostile environment (Suge Knights ego and that I can’t leave the hood reckless behavior alone)
Sometimes, I really feel that’s a MIRACLE that Dr. Dre, Snoop and DPG made it alive out of Death Row … Because of that streets/hood ‘environnement’ at that record label, it looks like one of them could have easily been k*lled or badly injured over some BS … 😶😶
It because none of them were bangers and really in the streets. Tupac is dead because he was really out there in the streets like that and the other guys were just frauds rapping about that lifestyle and glamorizing it. When I got older a matured I stopped listening to rap because how ignorant the music was.
@@calebjakande4294nah I don't agree with you on that, dr dre was shot in the leg, arrests back to back .. lawsuits, that nigga was out there, Snoop Dogg was a known Crip and he was on trial for murder, i love Tupac but he was gonna leave death row too, I would've loved to see what would he would be doin in 1997-2001, his death is made him iconic
The fact that they thought their business would survive in corporate America with that type behavior let’s you know how delusional they were & why the ones that stayed careers were over when death row was over, these people think they’re gangsters when the real gangsters that control them don’t even live in this country, lack of knowledge + stupidity = failure, sad part is their music industry counterparts reached all types of levels with businesses still flourishing with billionaire status, an this dude got nothing but gang talk an memories only the devil would be fond of, they didn’t even learn enough to keep the business running, no Suge no company, how embarrassing to have this self destructiveness as part of our black history, GOD blessed them an they fumbled the bag on a epic level.
Dre got Iovine. It woulda been Suge’s spot but he knew too much and can’t play the game right by involvin in multiple felonies. Snoop played it safe got a second chance after his murder charge.
Crooked is doing ok. Nate Dogg died of a stroke but he was still making money and would be still. Isn't it crazy you mention two of the biggest stars of all time? It's rare for anyone to have the same level of success as those two. Thats like saying isn't it crazy none of the d12 members have the same success as Eminem
I see people blaming Dre for the "chaos", look it's nothing wrong to have gang bangers there; but it got to a point where Dre was like this is too much. There's always a limit as to how wild something is. By the time Dre was thinking about leaving Tha Row, shit was getting way to wild, there was no balance, it just got too much. If they added a limit, shit would've been alright. Remember Dre was cool with Piru/Bloods and Crips being at Death Row. It's just that there was no limit, every year it got more wild than the year before. I think Death Row just needed a balance.
Death Row would’ve been bigger than Def Jam and universal today. I pretty much sure Death row next generation would’ve been Eminem,50 Cent and Game while the 3rd Generation (todays Generation) would’ve been Kendrick Lamar and Silk Sonic
It would have been to us what Motown was in the 60s/70s for hip hop and r&b for sure. Question is though would it have continued long enough until now and would Eminem, 50, or Kendrick be signed ? A lot of what ifs

It's easy for people to look back and say, why about this and that and why not this....but we are talking about young men and teenagers. Very few will have the maturity to do things different
not necessarily; young men and teens will follow their mentors. In their case it was a bunch of gangsters. Either no one was willing to mentor them in a positive light, or they refused positive mentorship.
Suge had a multi million (or billion by todays standards) record label with some of the best talent in the world and pissed it all away (no pun intended). I respect the fact that Suge had the industry on notice but you can’t have a hostile work environment for the people who literally are the reason why u getting paid bro lmao. Tryna be Super Blood messed it all up man and in turn a lot of people died as a result of the street shit mixing in with the Death Row shit.
Word. He was supposed to keep his folks right and keep them comfortable. His people shouldn’t be in a situation where they dread coming to work because some BS may pop off.
@@gregpuryear8163 Keep in mind that a lot of the staff of Deathrow were gang related, either by simple affiliation or actual membership and not just one gang, we're talking Bloods and Crips, on the same label, in the same building. Being strapped was probably the least you could do to feel just a little safe and comfortable in that environment.
I think that's a perfect comparison between Ruthless and Death Row. The environment on Ruthless was pretty chill, because Eazy didn't wanted to bring any kind of street shit to the workplace. He was adamant about that. That's what Cold187 told. That's coming from somebody who survived the streets. Suge on the other hand was in College playing football. They wanted so badly to live that kind of fantasy. It makes sense why Dre left.
ny87 (NY '87) Comin' through your town (NY '87) Gunnin' niggas down (NY '87) Fuck that shit (NY '87) We knockin' niggas out (NY '87) Niggas just jealous (NY '87) Watching too much Goodfellas Now that's dissin'
That could’ve played a part but that was later because it already come out from Majority people that worked at Death Row during that time that Dre wanted to Leave Death Row during the time of Snoops Murder Case (1994). It became a dangerous place to work at.
I always thought it was crazy how niggaz ended up working for a nigga that used to work for them. Suge went from being their bodyguard to their boss!🤣🤣🤣
Actually the main problem why Dre left was Suge knights ego and I can’t leave the hood reckless behavior alone. It’s already said Dre was already thinking out around the time of Snoops trial. Who knows about the situation about Dre and PAC but the main issue why is left was Suge knight reckless behavior
"Why bring it to the workplace?" 😂 because the AUTHENTIC west-coast gangsta shit was selling MULTI-PLATINUM EVERY SINGLE TIME. The fans knew that everything they said on the records was backed up how they lived off the records. Like Pac said "every nigga on the Row got cases, every nigga on the Row got problems with the law!!!" You say you're a "Westcoast gangsta rapper" then got damn right you better bring the strap to the recording studio and workplace. It seemed to have worked the beats were HARD, the lyrics were HARD, and they dominated the industry with straight CLASSICS.
Suge made a comment saying that Biggie would of been in DeathRow I still wonder how the hell he was gonna make that happen and how the dynamic would have been 😂😂
Kurupt speaks from a bias standpoint, Big U was backing kurupt and suge was scared of Big U so kurupt actually faired out better than daz at death row and daz produced on damn near everything
And this is another example of when keeping it real goes wrong death row could have been what rocAfella is now but tryna be street got em back on the street 😢
We all hear about how shady the record industry is. The Gang element amplified that notion. As fans outside of that culture, some probably had no idea how much was really going on until Pac got killed.

not necessarily; young men and teens will follow their mentors. In their case it was a bunch of gangsters. Either no one was willing to mentor them in a positive light, or they refused positive mentorship.
Suge had a multi million (or billion by todays standards) record label with some of the best talent in the world and pissed it all away (no pun intended). I respect the fact that Suge had the industry on notice but you can’t have a hostile work environment for the people who literally are the reason why u getting paid bro lmao. Tryna be Super Blood messed it all up man and in turn a lot of people died as a result of the street shit mixing in with the Death Row shit.
Quit playin', I know that pun was inteded...
Word. He was supposed to keep his folks right and keep them comfortable. His people shouldn’t be in a situation where they dread coming to work because some BS may pop off.
His millions wouldn't be be billions by today's standards.😂
@@universalconquest4447 it wasn’t lmao but shit might as well say yes it was because of the stories of him making dudes drink piss
@@apexone5502 exactly.
“That’s crazy to bring that to the studio, DOC had to have a gun on him, that’s crazy!” I guess Kurupt thought that was normal😂
Nate Dogg once stated in an interview that anytime he went to Death Row office/studio he always had his piece on him
@@brandonknight7486 that's crazy
@@gregpuryear8163 I don't blame him at all
@Brandon Knight He said he had two of them on him everyday going to deathrow
@@gregpuryear8163
Keep in mind that a lot of the staff of Deathrow were gang related, either by simple affiliation or actual membership and not just one gang, we're talking Bloods and Crips, on the same label, in the same building. Being strapped was probably the least you could do to feel just a little safe and comfortable in that environment.
Ask them about that Dre Day video it was so many fly people in that video isssh was dope, where did those people come from
I think that's a perfect comparison between Ruthless and Death Row. The environment on Ruthless was pretty chill, because Eazy didn't wanted to bring any kind of street shit to the workplace. He was adamant about that. That's what Cold187 told. That's coming from somebody who survived the streets. Suge on the other hand was in College playing football. They wanted so badly to live that kind of fantasy. It makes sense why Dre left.
Dre was a big supporter of death row at the 95 sauece awards
ny87 (NY '87) Comin' through your town
(NY '87) Gunnin' niggas down

Before 2Pac got there
Kurupt sounds faded like he been drinking some Henny lol
Tubal-Cain is the artificer of every brass and iron… y’all work for him.
Dre left cuz Suge was smashing Michelle point-blank
That could’ve played a part but that was later because it already come out from Majority people that worked at Death Row during that time that Dre wanted to Leave Death Row during the time of Snoops Murder Case (1994). It became a dangerous place to work at.
I always thought it was crazy how niggaz ended up working for a nigga that used to work for them. Suge went from being their bodyguard to their boss!🤣🤣🤣
Ok thanx for clarifying Kurupt. Module meaning like in jail in Cali. I didnt get that at first. $@loot
Shoutout to Dr. Dre.
Why does kurupt always where sunglasses during interviews?
Same old stories told over and over it will never be another label like death row it’s crazy how much they’re talked about
Dre ain't like the fact that pac had major star power he took dre shine
Pac saved California love. That solo dre version is garbage
bullshit Dre wasn't putting out music like that to begin with
Dr. Dre & The Chronic BUILT DEATH ROW! 2pac signed to Death Row out of desperation when he was locked up!
That Pac verse on California Love is the reason why that song still gets played on the radio till this day
Actually the main problem why Dre left was Suge knights ego and I can’t leave the hood reckless behavior alone. It’s already said Dre was already thinking out around the time of Snoops trial. Who knows about the situation about Dre and PAC but the main issue why is left was Suge knight reckless behavior
Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha album was 🔥 🔥 🔥
Fk'n right that album and space boogie are very underrated
"Why bring it to the workplace?" 😂 because the AUTHENTIC west-coast gangsta shit was selling MULTI-PLATINUM EVERY SINGLE TIME. The fans knew that everything they said on the records was backed up how they lived off the records. Like Pac said "every nigga on the Row got cases, every nigga on the Row got problems with the law!!!" You say you're a "Westcoast gangsta rapper" then got damn right you better bring the strap to the recording studio and workplace. It seemed to have worked the beats were HARD, the lyrics were HARD, and they dominated the industry with straight CLASSICS.
And look what happened after one in jail, the other one is dead Dre em went somewhere else
@@dwaynejpeterkin it is what it is nigga. A bull is gonna be a bull. But it was a glorious run while it lasted
That whole stance is corny.
@@mfknrmxthebangmessiah6012 nahhh I think you're corny
@@dapo09 that’s what’s up. Enjoy thinking that. 🖕🏽
He must never been locked up because COs or prison guards don't save or protect you. At all!!
'WELCOME TO DEATHROW' ..
Tragic. No true long-term foresight. They could have still been holding it down if it wasn't for all the low-level Street s**t.
Snoop said I signed to Death Row Records to make music, not gang bang. Look where Snoop at now.
Cause we gangs members!!!
Powerful statement, but also funny as hell😂😂😂
Kurupt a legend bro 💯
'And still rock the mic" crazy that sounds old school as f now. 😅
It's a classic example of Design + Realisation
Yay We All Gotta Get Older 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Why he not addressing the elephant in the room, Dr left because of the relationship between him Suge and Michell'e.... That's what happened.
Dre wasn't feeling 2pac coming too be honest. That was whispered around.
Exactly, he didn't even like Pac as a person, you can see his body language on some itw with Pac.
Suge made a comment saying that Biggie would of been in DeathRow I still wonder how the hell he was gonna make that happen and how the dynamic would have been 😂😂
That was the plan with Deathrow East.
Apparently the Outlaws and Junior Mafia spoke and Pac wanted to work things out in the end.
Weird
Death Row was the HOOD!
Dre sure was tough on ruthless & the beginning of death row🤔 I guess that was all suges doing too huh?
😂 how was he tough?
@The CunninLynguist go listen to & watch his interviews/music on Ruthless & D.R. it's self explanatory
Big faxtz
Dre was never tough
Dre never came off as trying to be tough. He always made it clear that he was a musician/entertainer in interviews.
Kurupt speaks from a bias standpoint, Big U was backing kurupt and suge was scared of Big U so kurupt actually faired out better than daz at death row and daz produced on damn near everything
Nobody was scared of Big U...them ninjas at DR would've ate him up...plus he was locked up during that whole time period, wtf was he gonna do?
Big u was locked up what was he gonna do? Give his word? Stop it
Scared of big U ?! Big u and suge were friends … and also big u was locked up that whole era .. there was nothing he could of done
Niggas in the mentions acting like Big U wasn’t Big U.
I doubt if the likes as Buntry, Heron, Poochie and George were afraid of Big U... Deathrow had serious muscle in that time.
Is kurupt accent mixed with philly or Philly or Longbeach califonia? am a Nigerian looking in . always wanted to know.
Just la
everybody on deathrow lz delet'd or in prison, everybody waz gangbang'n butt still on revolution- AMAZING
And this is another example of when keeping it real goes wrong death row could have been what rocAfella is now but tryna be street got em back on the street 😢
The HARDEST LABEL EVER ASSEMBLED
Cashmoney Records
We all hear about how shady the record industry is. The Gang element amplified that notion. As fans outside of that culture, some probably had no idea how much was really going on until Pac got killed.
I gave Kurupt his first dab.
Dang what happend to kurupt, my man was always sharp& lyrically eloquent, now he talking like he caught a bad batch of fentanyl 🥲
Yea definitely years of being a rich ass junkie
Damn he sounds slizzard off that yak
