Death Row Finally Sold
by on June 26th, 2008
Death Row records was sold yesterday to Global Music Group's president, Susan Berg. What does this mean? Well, it means that Berg now owns ALL recordings by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac, that were made while the label was still active. The label was purchased for $24 million. Global Music Group beat out Warner Bros. as well as Koch Records in this auction. After former owner Suge Knight filed for federal bankruptcy in 2006, he was forced by a bankruptcy court judge to auction all assets to the highest bidder.
Also (you Pac fans will love this) , as an added bonus, she was given 20 unreleased tracks by the late Tupac Shakur, who was killed while in Las Vegas in 1996. Maybe yet ANOTHER posthumously-released album from him?




























It’s a DAMN DISGRACE that Death Row sold for a PALTRY 24. Pathetic.

They always get the weakest producers and low budget beat makers to make those albums and it does his rhymes no justice.
If they gave all 20 of those tracks to Dre, Kanye, Just Blaze, Rza, Swizz, Timbo, Pete Rock, Polow, Nottz and Diddy – We might get another classic Tupac album.
The CDs that have been made after his death have all been watered down garbage.
This recycled Pac’s Life shit with like 20 guest appearances like fucking TI and Ashanti is sum bullshit though. If your gonna feature people on his albums, at least feature people he worked with.
HAS ANYONE SEEN SUGE SINCE THAT HAPPEND!?! I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW PISSED HE GETS WHEN A PAPPARAZZI DUDE ASKS HIM HOW DID IT FEEL

I wish Koch got won this bid, cuz It would assure me that they would respect these catalogues a lil bit, But what some of you are failing to understand is, Global Music Group (the winers) sell rights to use songs in movies, commercial etc. So don’t be surprised when you see a Burger king commercial with 2pac on the hook,…lol Or some cereal commercial with Dre beats,…lol shit is crazy.
With all the money Dre Has why didn’t he try & Bid to own his Chronic joints?….now he’s fuck the fuck up,…It’s a lose to us all,…well excluding Soulja Boy & Mims I doubt they ever listened to any death row record, b/c if they did ain’t no way in hell they’d put out Trash on wax.
DEEEE-TROIT
Drop tht new PAC already DAMN!!!!!
so not kool
BIG SOFT ASS NIGGA NO HOMO
The truth is they are fake and know nothing about music or running a music business. Global music Group the recent buyer is a one country label fake music company. They don’t even have the funds and are scrambling to scrape up investors before the court deadline runs out.
Ask anyone involved or check out the clips on TMZ to see what a joke this is. We will likely see the real owner of Death Row emerge soon!
