Lyricalswords, I disagree with you about Suge being an intelligent businessman. I think he just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Suge used his street connections and thugism to rise to the top. It's funny the same thing caused his demise. I always thought the real brains behind Death Row was Dr. Dre. He was the creative component of Death Row. Suge was simply a negotiator who was feared therefore people did business with him on his terms.

I can see folks make that assessment. Though, I still dont see how a talentless guy makes half a billion. He can't all brawn and no brain....

I agree with you 100% You are a very smart, insightful, intelligent brotha. You make me proud to be a black man. God bless bro!

There`s always been niggas out there who wasn`t afraid of Suge.Suge just happen to run into one of them last year and this year that knocked him out.Snoops cousin RBX wasn`t Afraid of him and wanted to kick his ass a while back.

Lyricalswords, a while ago I read a book that stated that it was Dr. Dre that was responsible for finding the talent that made Death Row successful. Dre. produced "The Chronic." He also played a major role in getting Snoop Dog and the Dog Pound signed to Death Row. He produced Snoop Dog's "Doggystyle" ablum. He also played a major part in producing Tupac's "All Eyes on Me" album. Death Row would have never came into existance without Dr. Dre.

I agree with the statement that brothas smell the weakness that emanates from Shug due to the fact that he doesn't have the money or the muscle anymore. I disagree however that Obama being president has anything to do with it. Nice way to look at it though. It may be good old fashion Karma!
