"Greed could f--k up Heaven "- Good insight , Grandmaster Melle Mel on describing the rise and fall of Death Row Records. Someone has to break down the narrative.
All Suge had to do was just sit back and let his artists work. Pac was more than an artist, he was a natural born leader and he was working with Dr. Dre and Snoop, who both had the work ethic and creativity. That alone would've set the tone for all the other artists on Death Row and record sales would've reached astronomical numbers and Suge would've been iconic instead of infamous.
Suge did everything right. It was the local politicians, corrupt prosecutors, FEDS, etc that didn't like that Suge had so much power, money, and respect....so they destroyed his record label. In addition, it was 2pac that brought all that negative attention to Death Row. Shooting cops, rape charges, shootouts, fights, etc....all which got Suge in trouble and landed him in jail. Snoop was in a murder case and Suge bailed him out. You are all BRAINWASHED by the media...Suge Knight was great to his artist until they tried to cross him.
@@torrisfairley3227 He did...name something suge did wrong. All those gang wars was Suge protecting his artist. His artist brought all that drama to death row...suge bailed both 2pac and snoop out of trouble. Puff left his artist in jail...ask shine. Everyone is copying what suge did as a label owner even to this day. Suge was involved with black empowerment etc. Name suge drama of his own...not involving his artist drama. Suge kicked Orlando because of 2pac and it landed suge in jail. Name another label owner that kicked ass literally for their artist....I will wait.

Speaking real O.G. Ol ahead knowledge. Yunguns don’t want to give respect to them that paved the way or really listen and learn until it’s too late.😭🙏🏾Shalom
Suge was a genius. Recruited Dre, put the dough behind Snoop and Got Pac outta jail. Genius, Visionary. He just didn't know when to fade the street element out of the label.
Everyone at Death Row including Dre, Snoop, Tupac, Kurupt, Daz, Quik, etc. were all gang related... it wasn't just Suge. Back then it was about being hard and real too not just money lol!
Suge knight running a corporation worth 300-400- millions at that time, he shoulda known well that fine lines not to cross Niggas ways or behaviors don't work in corporate America...ijs
even the so called second string team is strong Nate Dogg, Kurput, Daz, DJ Quik and had singers that prolly could have sold, like Jewell and even Danny Boy was talented if he and her had gotten their shot while death row was hot it could have been great for them
Johnny J was collaborating wit them. And Pac were bring some Easy Coast artist, Boot Camp Clik, Nice & Smooth, Big Daddy Kane. He was getting Melle Mel and Scorpio a deal.
Melle Mel is absolutely 100 percent right "Greed Mess Up Everything". Friends fallout with each other ,men and women stop talking and dealing with each other. Life long friends never talk to each other again. GREED THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL

Not to forget MC Hammer, the Dogg Pound, Lady of Rage, Bad Azz, Tray Dee etc later on had Crooked I and Eastwood. Suge done himself over. Could have easily been the first billionaire by the early 2000s
Had a janitor set of keys and played his self. Look at all the ppl that spin off. Snoop had artists dre pulled ppl later with aftermath pac had outlaws etc etc he could of been at baby level still running thangs smh
Suge could’ve been a billionaire years ago with the team of artist he had. And still til this day could’ve been generating money. Now he’s in jail with $0.79🤦🏾♂️
It's not like Suge could have kept the Gangsta rap going on forever anyway, regardless who he had... The early / mid 1990s eventually came to an end, the sound changed the culture changed.... And especially Tupac was a guy who always wanted to be his own man. If Puffy and Jay-Z could do it, Tupac sure could do it too.
I know everybody is talking about suge is dumb and he is dumb in my opinion.... but if you really think about it Eazy E could’ve had all these artist dr. Dre ice cube snoop 2pac bone thugs black eyed peas Eminem 50 cent Kendrick Lamar the list is crazy but because he didn’t want to pay the core members of NWA
Jay Z had Rihanna , Kanye and Neyo at one point , puff had Mase , Biggie , and artist , ruff ryders had eve dmx everything comes to and End . Suge is a genius CEO . Free Suge
Deathrow was going to be the biggest black owned label in the world. It was going to be bigger than Motown. Suge Knight said he generated over $150,000,000 dollars in the first year. They had everyone. From 2Pac to Dr. Dre as the producer and Snoop Dogg. Then shit happened.
@@StayViben They likely would've transcended rap and had other items under them than just a dope chain. They probably would've had their own branded clothing line,shoes, shops and whatnot.

Thanks for the conversation.
Salute to Melle Mel see the problem is noone gives the real OGs of hip hop respect they always speaking true facts I hope someday I'll meet Melle Mel
Suge ran D.R like it was the "streets" vs a business........He should've took O'harry's advice "stay out of the limelight and get ya $"
Money and power. No fails
Not to forget MC Hammer, the Dogg Pound, Lady of Rage, Bad Azz, Tray Dee etc later on had Crooked I and Eastwood.
Suge done himself over. Could have easily been the first billionaire by the early 2000s
First billionaire was in 1916.
Had a janitor set of keys and played his self. Look at all the ppl that spin off. Snoop had artists dre pulled ppl later with aftermath pac had outlaws etc etc he could of been at baby level still running thangs smh
Real talk bro 💯 Tru.
👌
Suge could’ve been a billionaire years ago with the team of artist he had. And still til this day could’ve been generating money. Now he’s in jail with $0.79🤦🏾♂️
he should've just played the background and everything would still be good
@@reasonabledoubtunderworld3636 it was over once he start trying to be Puffy and be all in the videos and on magazines and stuff
@@chitownbred6821 and aint that funny ..went down for tryna do the same sht he klownd diddy for and was already been doing.
@@chitownbred6821 lol
On the point of trying to scare someone, he’s right. At some point you’ll have to put up or shut up, it ain’t going to keep working.
This brother has some wisdom for your ass.
lol.
A dreamer can only dream about. Broke man dream. Greed spiraled out of control.
Plus dogg pound, nate dog, daz on the beats and kurupt on the mic
Dre got his money back lol
@@alexlyndhurstfreesuge5532 Too far. If it’s true then you was either there or your folks was. 🤮
Another great interview
It's not like Suge could have kept the Gangsta rap going on forever anyway, regardless who he had... The early / mid 1990s eventually came to an end, the sound changed the culture changed.... And especially Tupac was a guy who always wanted to be his own man.
If Puffy and Jay-Z could do it, Tupac sure could do it too.
that doller one was onpoint
I know everybody is talking about suge is dumb and he is dumb in my opinion.... but if you really think about it Eazy E could’ve had all these artist dr. Dre ice cube snoop 2pac bone thugs black eyed peas Eminem 50 cent Kendrick Lamar the list is crazy but because he didn’t want to pay the core members of NWA
PREACH
Man all he had to do was the Master p blueprint dump all the artists out there
Legend of the hip hop
And now Dre a Billionaire where Suge at? 😆
FACTS and nothin' but...💯
Thas what i say to my self
Evrytime i look at suge
Dammmm suge you had makavelie
Big fuckin facts bro, Melle mel is the truth
Suge fumbled the bag. Big Dummy 😜I think it was less ego than it was big dumbness.
Egos get in the way.
This is so true.
Jay Z had Rihanna , Kanye and Neyo at one point , puff had Mase , Biggie , and artist , ruff ryders had eve dmx everything comes to and End . Suge is a genius CEO . Free Suge
But it all comes to an end tooo fast for Blacks. Jimmy Iovine and Interscope still going strong.
@@alexlyndhurstfreesuge5532 you dropping something that i would say requires evidence my G.
True facts spoken from t Og Mellie Mell 💪💪
Suge Was A Great Promoter, But A Sloppy Business Man.
real talk!
@@alexlyndhurstfreesuge5532 that's right! 👍🏿
True
Plus he had the dogg pound
Deathrow was going to be the biggest black owned label in the world. It was going to be bigger than Motown.
Suge Knight said he generated over $150,000,000 dollars in the first year. They had everyone. From 2Pac to Dr. Dre as the producer and Snoop Dogg. Then shit happened.
EGO's.
smh
slow your roll bigger than Motown-temps-marvin Gaye- supremes- smokey I get your point not motown
Yup. Death Row was already worth half a Billion by 95 🤦🏾♂️
@@StayViben They likely would've transcended rap and had other items under them than just a dope chain.
They probably would've had their own branded clothing line,shoes, shops and whatnot.
Facts. 💯
