Remember in the 90s when Suge Knight may have very well been the most feared man in music? For one, Death Row was allegedly funded off drug money. Then there’s the whole Vanilla Ice/balcony story and other assorted stories of violence in the company’s daily operations created a shroud of invincibility around the label. And, at one point, Suge had a real “Big Three” of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac. Read the rest of this entry »

2011 has been a year Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond would likely wish never happened if he had a genie in a bottle.

Maybe Suge isn’t so bad after all and the cops just have it in for him? All the allegations and accusations slanderous attempts by poh-leece © West Baltimore and media to sully his good name. That’s the story Yukmouth is selling in his recent interview with HipHopWired.

Hip-Hop Wired: Let’s touch on some of the drama that has surrounded you for a while, first off what happened between you and Suge Knight with the chain snatching situation?

Yukmouth: I can’t really go into details about it, because the situation is real delicate. All people need to know is that Suge didn’t have anything to do with it and that is really all I am going to say on it because street sh*t stays in the street and wax stays on wax.

Hip-Hop Wired: I read that initially that was your response, but later a report surfaced that you named Suge as one of the assailants in the robbery…

Yukmouth: Man, that was some bullsh*t that the police let out because I wasn’t cooperating with them. The thing is, I never said that Suge did it. After the stuff happened I told them that the dudes ran up on me while I was talking to Suge. The cops have it out for Suge, so they wanted me to say he had something to do with it, but I kept telling them no. They got mad, because detectives are d*cks. They are some crooked muthaf*ckas and they released a statement to TMZ stating that I told them Suge was the one who robbed me; but I never did.

Believe me, if I said a muthaf*ckas name, everyone would be locked up and you would see my name on court papers and also on the stand. I am the type of n*gga where if I said it, I have no problem with letting people know that is what I said. Police just put that out there to make themselves look good.

I think the funniest part may be that they refer to Suge as an “ex-rap mogul.” Oh ye how the mighty have fallen. Aren’t his three strikes up yet?

“Ex-rap music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight has been arrested in Los Angeles for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon.

Police say the co-founder of Death Row Records was stopped by California Highway Patrol officers in suburban Gardena about 12:30 a.m. Thursday.

Shortly before it hit the net, Karen Civil informed me of Shad’s decision to head over to Cash Money. What ensued next was barrage of commentary on Twitter, 95% of which was negative. On paper, having a label with Lil’ Wayne, Drake, Mack Maine, Nicki Minaj, Omarion and now Bow Wow seems like an excellent investment. But when looking beyond the surface, we’ve seen over and over how this situation has played itself out.

Roc-A-Fella Records — Arguably no dynasty’s (no pun intended) downfall has been documented more than this. There was once a time when a roster which touted Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Memphis Bleek and the rest of State Property appeared invincible. However, it was the addition of Read the rest of this entry »

It seems as if Suge got two-pieced…again. This time, it wasn’t a barber but a weed carrier for Akon. Unfortunately, I don’t care. It doesn’t have the same “wow!” factor. It’s like having another baby. Read the rest of this entry »

Then people come and peruse your crap, haggle with you over Perudo because the think 50¢ is too much.
