Death Row Records Auction On Standby

by REIGN

TUESDAY OCTOBER 9, 2007

The auction of defunct label Death Row Records is on hold while outstanding royalty issues are worked out with Dr. Dre and 2Pac’s mother Afeni Shakur. A source says that the sale of the label is complicated because people bidding really don’t know what they’re getting.”What’s really there for sale, what assets do they have, no one knows for sure,” said one source.

Ron LeBow, an attorney representing Death Row Records in the sale, says the label owns the rights to over 11,000 master recordings. Death Row founder Suge Knight filed for bankruptcy in April of 2006. According to bankruptcy documents, Knight listed that his personal assets included a bank account holding $11, clothing worth $1,000, furniture and appliances valued at $2,000, and jewellery worth $25,000.

Sources say that Death Row could be sold for less than $20 million.

Suge is a Fucking piece of shitt.....That ni##@ kill Hip-Hop for real now he's trying to act like he got no $$$ but this bitch ain't bumb - this mutha fucka has all
the royalty's he collected for years of 2Pac,Dre,Snoop,Daz,Kurupt etc.etc.
So is ovious that now he gonna come out saying he is broke and shitt. But I bet you anything that those so called assets ain't nothing but junk. of course he kept the best for his fat ass. If only Pac was here....

"Suga bear" is holding out something big on these mutha fuckers... If niggas really think that suga bear is broke then niggas don't know shit about street.This nigga was getting it back when pac was alive,one this nigga didn't even pay pac for his music he was giving pac shit.Everytime Pac asked about money suga bear would give the nigga a car or a house an thats all.So where is the money at if he wasn't paying out.As for jewlery he never really had anything worth looking at so maybe the jewlery isn't running that much,but it should be more then what their saying it cost.And them red suits could sale for some good change if you put them on ebay

Suge definitely ain't broke. I know first hand about a Company filing Bankrupt.
It's the company...not his PERSONAL shit. Just the shit tied to the company.

So he prolly only has $11.00 left on the CO. acct. but his personal shit....

He's definitely got mills still... shit he's always in jail. Never has time to spend it! lol!
