Suge Knight Starts New Label, And Reality Show

by LYRICALTHOUGHT

MONDAY APRIL 14, 2008

Suge Knight, the Co-Founder of DeathRow records is taking another shot at the music industry using his new reality show "Unfinished Business" to help push his new label 'BlackBall Records'.

The series will follow Knight around as he lives his everyday life, and give viewers the chance to see the process that occurs while he attempts to build on his new label "BlackBall", with the help of aspiring artist.

The music executive will also reveal details about his stint at Death Row and his dealings with the label’s roster, which included rapper Snoop Dogg and producer Dr. Dre. Suge seems very excited about the show telling the washington post that it will be a hundred percent real.

"It ain’t like the fake reality s**t, It’s a lot of stuff going on but you gotta watch the show to see what it is. It’s like real life, so whatever it is it’s real life. If you see me in 

Compton, I’m in Compton. Watts, South Central, Inglewood wherever the f**k it is. No matter where it is. We do it how we do it."                                              

Before filing for backruptcy Suge had success with his previous label "DeathRow" at the height of the labels popularity they had artist such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, The lady of Rage, and Tupac Shakur on board.

Shit, a hungry, broke mu fucker gonna sign 2 his label. It's easy 2 talk that shit when you ain't got an oppertunity right in front of your face... Ya'll talkin bout he sunk the great 'Death Row' but he built it too, you can't forget that... Snoop, Daz, Kurrupt, RBX, Rage and all the rest of em ain't have shit before they started fuckin wit Suge. Even Dre, Dre had money but he ain't have the money, respect, or the legendary status that he got now until after Suge made that shit happen... Ya'll can talk that shit but Suge knew how 2 make it happen...

Dre built death row. period. All suge did was strongarm eazy-e into letting go of dre.

Dre built that company from the ground up. He has re-created hip-hop 3 times.

Fuck suge.

No albums is coming out from his new label because I would think no one is dumb enough to finance his company. I saw a trailer for his new show & on the the show they beat down an artist. That's no way to conduct business, that's why Death Row went to hell. This nigga still hating on Snoop & Dre & puting out old ass 2Pac music. Knowing him he's going to be in jail in a couple of weeks.

Man, Dre was just the dude from N.W.A. before Suge set shit off at Death Row. Ain't nobody even know that Dre was the producer before that 2 be honest with you, everybody thought he was just a rapper. And as far as The other rappers not havin shit after they left, you crazy as hell. Daz got his independent shit poppin off from the money and fame he got from Deathrow, Kurrupt makin corny ass movies, RBX made some change off some shit he made goin off on Death Row, Snoop... well, Snoops just Snoop... I ain't sayin the dude ain't creep, I'm just sayin that if you an unsigned artist that's struggelin 2 pay 4 studio time & can't afford 2 promote your own muzic & Suge come at you with a contract, 9 times outta 10 you gonna sign that bitch... Str8 up...

Alright, name 2 world class wreckin crew songs... And everybody ain't know that he was the mastermind behind N.W.A. untill they started jumpin on his dick at Death Row. Really 2 be technical, Eazy was the MASTERMIND cause he came up wit the formula 4 the muzic. Maybe you don't remember but Ice Cube left & destroyed N.W.A. & nobody heard anything from any of them untill Dre got wit Death Row... Thats just a fact... Dre's a beast but people on here talkin like Suge ain't have nothin 2 do wit DeathRow blowin up when the fact is that Dre wasn't really producin 4 nobody but Snoop... Maybe you forgot that too, Pac was goin off because Dre was takin credit 4 everybody elses work... I ain't say Dre wasn't accomplished, I said he ain't have the staus he got now untill after DeathRow...

Bitch!!! LOL

Eazy never wrote a fuckin ryhme in his life!

Cube and D.o.c. wrote all Eazy's ryhmes!

Are u jokin dawg?

D.o.c. actually sold his publishing to Easy for a fat gold chain back in the day so Easy never had to give him any money or credit!

N.W.A broke up because Eazy and Jerry Heller was fuckin everybody out of the money.

Cube was the only nigga smart enough not to sign a contract.
The rest of them niggas started dissin Cube but they all wished that they would have been as smart as he was!

And even though Cube was gettin in them niggas asses,(no vaseline) people still loved both N.W.A and Ice Cube.

They broke up because Dre left because Jerry and Easy wasnt sharin no money!

2 songs by the world class wrecking crew
"turn off the lights"
"Surgery"

The wrecking crew dropped there hit in 1988 the same year Nwa dropped "str8 outta compton" so he kind of had two succesful groups at one time and he chose to focus on N.W.A

Now....what da fuck were u sayin my dude?

Naw, Eazy ain't write no rhymes but it was his concept 2 start reppin that gangsta shit so Dre wasnt the MASTERMIND like you said he was, Eazy was... I ain't tryin 2 say that Dre ain't a beast, what I'm sayin is that Death Row never woulda took off like it did without Suge. I don't like the dude, I think he's creep as fuck but you can't honestly say that he ain't play a HUGE part in Dre, Snoop, The dawg Pound, 2 Pac, and everyone else over there's careers... He's slimey, he's creep, he's a snake, he's all that but the fact remains that a hungry artist who can't finance theyself would sign under Suge 9 times outta 10... You got me wit the 2 songs too... I think you looked them shits up though... Lol...
