1
00:00:45,208 --> 00:00:46,291
Breaking news out of LA.
2
00:00:46,375 --> 00:00:48,792
A music industry mogul
under arrest
3
00:00:48,875 --> 00:00:49,519
after a deadly hit-and-run.
4
00:00:50,208 --> 00:00:51,959
Rap mogul, Suge Knight,
has been arrested.
5
00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:55,000
Not just detained. Arrested.
Now accused of murder.
6
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:56,625
The arrest follows
a deadly crash
7
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:58,375
yesterday in Compton.
8
00:00:58,458 --> 00:00:59,625
They say the altercation
9
00:00:59,709 --> 00:01:01,792
had started earlier
on the set of a movie.
10
00:01:01,875 --> 00:01:03,792
The movie is called
Straight Outta Compton.
11
00:01:03,875 --> 00:01:06,000
It's about
the rap group N.W.A.
12
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:07,500
Knight turned himself in,
13
00:01:07,583 --> 00:01:10,500
casually puffing on a cigar
as he made his way inside.
14
00:01:10,583 --> 00:01:13,125
This will be a third-strikes
case against Knight.
15
00:01:13,208 --> 00:01:16,830
If convicted,
Knight faces life in prison.
16
00:01:26,875 --> 00:01:29,375
I started off with dreams.
17
00:01:29,458 --> 00:01:32,166
If you come from that ghetto,
that's all you got, is a dream.
18
00:01:32,250 --> 00:01:33,458
When I was in elementary school,
19
00:01:33,542 --> 00:01:34,875
I mean,
I was in the third grade.
20
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,830
- Right.
- And they had career people.
21
00:01:36,166 --> 00:01:37,291
They came up there
and they was like,
22
00:01:37,375 --> 00:01:41,000
"Look, what you wanna be
when you grow up?"
23
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:42,792
So, I was like, "Shit.
24
00:01:42,875 --> 00:01:44,417
"I'm gonna be a pro football player."
- Right.
25
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:47,542
So, they was like,
"Well, pick something else,
26
00:01:47,625 --> 00:01:49,583
"'cause the chance of you
being a pro football player
27
00:01:49,667 --> 00:01:52,625
"is, like, the same as
you seeing a black president.
28
00:01:52,709 --> 00:01:54,667
"You will never in life
see a black president.
29
00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:56,375
"If there ever be
a black president,
30
00:01:56,458 --> 00:01:58,875
"maybe your kids' kids'
31
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:01,333
"kids' kids,
you'll be long-gone dead,
32
00:02:01,417 --> 00:02:03,542
"but you'll never see
a black president."
33
00:02:03,625 --> 00:02:05,830
- They used to say that to you?
- That's what they said to me. So, I'm in elementary school
34
00:02:05,166 --> 00:02:06,542
and I raised my hand again
and the teacher say,
35
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:07,667
"What do you want?"
36
00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:10,333
I stood up. I said, "Fuck you."
37
00:02:10,417 --> 00:02:12,830
And the teacher was like,
38
00:02:12,166 --> 00:02:13,834
"See, that's why
you gotta go to the office."
39
00:02:13,917 --> 00:02:15,625
I said, "Well, send me
to the office, bitch."
40
00:02:15,709 --> 00:02:17,500
And they had
the career people there.
41
00:02:17,583 --> 00:02:20,333
I said, "You know what?
Y'all telling this bullshit.
42
00:02:20,417 --> 00:02:21,917
"They should fire
your motherfucking ass
43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,750
"for shooting our
motherfucking dreams down."
44
00:02:39,542 --> 00:02:41,834
I met my wife in
high school.
45
00:02:41,917 --> 00:02:44,375
I was a football player,
and she was a cheerleader.
46
00:02:44,458 --> 00:02:47,830
She was the one who really
pursued me and said...
47
00:02:47,166 --> 00:02:49,000
I said, "I'm gonna get me
a football player.
48
00:02:49,583 --> 00:02:50,875
"That's gonna be him."
49
00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:52,542
I had no choice.
50
00:02:52,625 --> 00:02:55,625
She was a little, pretty thing
back then, you know...
51
00:02:55,709 --> 00:02:57,625
"Back then"? I'm not pretty now?
52
00:02:57,709 --> 00:02:59,500
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
53
00:02:59,583 --> 00:03:00,834
So, you had the traditional
American family.
54
00:03:00,917 --> 00:03:03,250
Yeah. My pops worked,
55
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:05,333
my mama stayed home
and was a housewife.
56
00:03:05,417 --> 00:03:07,625
California was
the land of opportunity.
57
00:03:07,709 --> 00:03:10,333
So my whole family
moved out here.
58
00:03:10,417 --> 00:03:13,375
You know, growing up
in Compton, to me, was, like,
59
00:03:13,458 --> 00:03:14,542
the best thing in the world.
60
00:03:16,208 --> 00:03:17,542
People don't realize, you see,
61
00:03:17,625 --> 00:03:19,417
Compton started off
with majority white.
62
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:21,250
When we first moved to Compton,
63
00:03:21,333 --> 00:03:23,500
we were the only blacks
on the street.
64
00:03:23,583 --> 00:03:25,750
So that first year,
of being in Compton
65
00:03:25,834 --> 00:03:27,291
every morning,
66
00:03:27,375 --> 00:03:28,875
I watched the stories,
67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,417
I had some coffee,
had some toast with my mama.
68
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:32,834
When I was four years old.
69
00:03:32,917 --> 00:03:34,500
So my mama was making
her coffee,
70
00:03:34,583 --> 00:03:35,875
shit, I was making me
some coffee.
71
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:37,333
She gave me some,
you know what I mean?
72
00:03:37,417 --> 00:03:38,959
I probably had a lot of milk
and a lot of sugar,
73
00:03:39,410 --> 00:03:41,458
but, shit, I had
my coffee going, you know.
74
00:03:41,542 --> 00:03:43,333
Chopping it up, being too grown.
75
00:03:43,417 --> 00:03:45,830
And, you know,
I was real blessed.
76
00:03:45,166 --> 00:03:47,375
I got great parents.
77
00:03:47,458 --> 00:03:50,417
My old man told me I could do
any fucking thing I wanna do,
78
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:52,166
as long as I be the best at it.
79
00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:54,917
My mother, shit, she let me do
whatever I wanna do.
80
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,917
- Right, right.
- As long as I don't lie to her.
81
00:04:38,583 --> 00:04:40,291
Selling the towels.
82
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:55,834
Right.
83
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:02,500
So, how old were you the first time you ever saw somebody get shot?
84
00:05:22,875 --> 00:05:23,709
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
85
00:05:29,291 --> 00:05:30,709
Right, right, right.
86
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:47,458
Ba-rap.
87
00:05:47,542 --> 00:05:49,959
I came from school one time,
there was a motherfucker there.
88
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:52,500
If they was dead, you know,
we'd check their pockets
89
00:05:52,583 --> 00:05:54,500
and took their rings
and their watches.
90
00:05:54,583 --> 00:05:58,458
But one time, you know,
we got, like, $5,500.
91
00:05:58,542 --> 00:06:01,417
And me and my mama tight, so,
you know, I go home, I tell my mama.
92
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:02,834
She at least want half.
93
00:06:02,917 --> 00:06:05,000
She'd go, "What? You took
this money from a dead man?
94
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:06,208
"Where's my cut?"
95
00:06:06,291 --> 00:06:08,834
You know what I mean?
96
00:06:08,917 --> 00:06:10,667
Is that where
you got that ambition from?
97
00:06:10,750 --> 00:06:11,959
Yeah, I mean,
because, like...
98
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:57,583
If you come from the ghetto,
99
00:06:59,667 --> 00:07:01,500
and you make it out that water,
100
00:07:02,917 --> 00:07:04,709
you gotta be a cold-ass shark.
101
00:07:04,792 --> 00:07:06,625
You gotta be
a fucked-up motherfucker.
102
00:07:07,917 --> 00:07:09,667
If you make it out,
103
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:11,250
and you don't got
all the battle wounds,
104
00:07:11,333 --> 00:07:14,830
and you're half-crazy
and on dope or something,
105
00:07:14,166 --> 00:07:15,959
they figure you must be
a serious beast.
106
00:07:19,709 --> 00:07:21,417
I loved football,
107
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:23,500
and I got him into football.
108
00:07:23,583 --> 00:07:26,750
And I told him he could play
anything he wanted to play.
109
00:07:26,834 --> 00:07:28,709
But you got to be rough.
110
00:07:28,792 --> 00:07:30,959
You can't be a crybaby
and stuff, you know.
111
00:07:32,208 --> 00:07:34,709
And he started off
in Pop Warner.
112
00:07:34,792 --> 00:07:36,625
I knew he was gonna be
kind of rough
113
00:07:37,834 --> 00:07:40,750
when an older kid
hit him really hard.
114
00:07:40,834 --> 00:07:43,750
And I looked, "Oh!"
I thought, I know he ain't...
115
00:07:43,834 --> 00:07:46,542
And he jumped on up, like,
nothing happen to him
116
00:07:46,625 --> 00:07:48,417
and got back in there
and went on to do his thing.
117
00:07:49,625 --> 00:07:51,250
I knew he was gonna be
kind of rough then,
118
00:07:51,333 --> 00:07:52,667
when he kept playing.
119
00:07:55,583 --> 00:07:57,917
I used to go to practice to see how many motherfuckers I could hurt.
120
00:07:58,834 --> 00:08:00,250
My own players.
121
00:08:00,333 --> 00:08:02,834
If I had to punch the linebacker,
I'd try to break his leg
122
00:08:02,917 --> 00:08:04,500
or his neck.
123
00:08:04,583 --> 00:08:06,500
On the sidelines,
you see maybe, like,
124
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,959
five hundred motherfuckers or more.
- Right.
125
00:08:10,410 --> 00:08:11,750
- They're at the practice.
- Right.
126
00:08:11,834 --> 00:08:13,291
So you see the motherfuckers
coming out there,
127
00:08:13,375 --> 00:08:15,333
you know, the running backs,
128
00:08:15,417 --> 00:08:17,291
- they got a cute little bitch with them or something, right?
- Right. Right.
129
00:08:17,375 --> 00:08:20,166
I'm from Compton.
So, I'm, like, "Shit, nigga."
130
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:24,166
I could imagine their little bitches and stuff be cheering, "Go, go!"
131
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:25,834
And when I crack them...
132
00:08:27,125 --> 00:08:29,208
I used to peel all the skin
133
00:08:29,291 --> 00:08:31,458
off their fucking
motherfucking foreheads.
134
00:08:31,542 --> 00:08:33,750
I could peel all the skin
off their helmet.
135
00:08:33,834 --> 00:08:35,166
I used to have all this...
136
00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:37,542
All this shit
all in my nails and shit.
137
00:08:37,625 --> 00:08:38,709
Why did you do that?
138
00:08:39,625 --> 00:08:41,410
Well, I felt like this.
139
00:08:41,125 --> 00:08:43,667
I played defense,
they played offense.
140
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:45,792
- At that time, they were my enemy.
- Right.
141
00:08:45,875 --> 00:08:47,333
You got motherfuckers
trying to block me,
142
00:08:47,417 --> 00:08:49,208
to make sure I don't
get to the running back.
143
00:08:49,291 --> 00:08:51,250
And you got the running back
trying to score a touchdown
144
00:08:51,333 --> 00:08:52,750
and make me look bad.
145
00:08:52,834 --> 00:08:54,917
Whatever I had to do to win.
That's all I knew to do, is win.
146
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,959
Where'd that come from though,
Suge? Where did that come from?
147
00:08:57,417 --> 00:08:59,000
Probably because,
148
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:00,291
when you're growing up,
you grow up in the ghetto,
149
00:09:00,375 --> 00:09:02,458
everything's a competition.
150
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:03,834
They can't give everybody
something.
151
00:09:03,917 --> 00:09:05,792
So, whoever wins
gets the reward.
152
00:09:07,917 --> 00:09:09,500
How do you navigate, Suge,
153
00:09:09,583 --> 00:09:12,333
when you're a young dude,
the gang life?
154
00:09:12,417 --> 00:09:14,875
When you grew up in Compton,
155
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:16,500
the neighborhood you grew up
was mostly what?
156
00:09:16,583 --> 00:09:19,291
Pirus. Ain't no "mostly."
157
00:09:19,375 --> 00:09:21,667
Either you were a Piru
or you were nothing.
158
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:23,208
Right.
159
00:09:23,291 --> 00:09:24,625
- You were a Blood or you were nothing.
- You were nothing.
160
00:09:24,709 --> 00:09:26,834
You ain't gonna go
for nothing else,
161
00:09:26,917 --> 00:09:28,125
you know, period,
not in that neighborhood.
162
00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:39,250
It didn't start off
where they were just saying,
163
00:09:39,333 --> 00:09:40,917
"Okay, we're gonna start a gang
164
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,410
"and start
shooting motherfuckers."
165
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,709
But the Crips
were running around, like,
166
00:09:45,792 --> 00:09:47,709
taking motherfuckers'
jackets and shoes.
167
00:09:47,792 --> 00:09:49,709
So homies
put their shit together.
168
00:09:49,792 --> 00:09:51,500
It was like,
protect the neighborhood.
169
00:09:51,583 --> 00:09:55,166
So it started off by
protecting your neighborhood.
170
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:57,875
Said, "Okay, I don't care
what you got going over there,
171
00:09:57,959 --> 00:10:00,208
"but you ain't gonna do this shit over here in our neighborhood."
172
00:10:00,291 --> 00:10:05,291
I didn't have to be
part of a gang for protection.
173
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:07,500
I fucked with the homies
on the simple fact that...
174
00:10:07,583 --> 00:10:08,750
Pssh.
175
00:10:08,834 --> 00:10:09,834
'Cause I love my homies.
176
00:10:11,875 --> 00:10:15,291
♪ Well, I'm Marion Knight
with the wavy hair
177
00:10:15,375 --> 00:10:19,410
♪ I'm quick and fast
and always there
178
00:10:19,125 --> 00:10:23,830
♪ I'll take on any O-lineman
what I know, yeah
179
00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:27,583
♪ That's why they call him
the Sugar Bear! ♪
180
00:10:27,667 --> 00:10:28,834
Marion Knight, number 54!
181
00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:31,667
And you can see his jubilation.
182
00:10:41,417 --> 00:10:45,208
He asked me which school
should he go to, you know.
183
00:10:45,291 --> 00:10:49,410
I said, "I'm gonna support you,
either one you want to go.
184
00:10:49,125 --> 00:10:51,458
"I don't care which one
you go, just, you know,
185
00:10:51,542 --> 00:10:54,458
"you got to do your best
and make things happen."
186
00:10:54,542 --> 00:10:57,250
But I was real happy
he got them scholarships.
187
00:10:57,333 --> 00:10:58,959
...Marion Knight.
188
00:10:59,410 --> 00:11:02,291
That was the best time
of my life.
189
00:11:02,375 --> 00:11:03,667
I would go to the game first
190
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:05,375
and then go gamble.
191
00:11:05,458 --> 00:11:07,125
...with Marion Knight of
the two down linemen
192
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:09,000
in a very interesting defense.
193
00:11:09,830 --> 00:11:11,625
Marion Knight finally making
the stop on this play.
194
00:11:11,709 --> 00:11:14,830
I thought he was gonna be a ball player.
He was a good ball player.
195
00:11:14,166 --> 00:11:16,250
He got with the Rams
196
00:11:16,333 --> 00:11:19,542
you know, doing training camp
and stuff, you know, and...
197
00:11:19,625 --> 00:11:21,250
I mean, he would
whoop everybody out there,
198
00:11:21,333 --> 00:11:23,750
I mean, all of the pros.
199
00:11:23,834 --> 00:11:25,208
You know,
they couldn't stop him.
200
00:11:25,291 --> 00:11:27,208
So we just knew that
this guy's gonna...
201
00:11:27,291 --> 00:11:29,750
He gonna make
the first-string squad.
202
00:11:29,834 --> 00:11:32,709
And he played first-string
all through the pre-season.
203
00:11:32,792 --> 00:11:38,417
Then when he got to, uh,
the season games,
204
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:41,410
they sat him down.
This, he's not used to.
205
00:11:41,125 --> 00:11:43,250
He'd been playing first-string
ever since Pop Warner.
206
00:11:43,333 --> 00:11:44,583
But he always told me,
207
00:11:44,667 --> 00:11:46,709
"Pop, I know I'm good,
better than these guys.
208
00:11:46,792 --> 00:11:48,208
"I know I'm better
than these guys.
209
00:11:48,291 --> 00:11:49,667
"But they don't give me
any game time.
210
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:51,208
"They don't give me
a shot at it.
211
00:11:51,291 --> 00:11:53,000
"They don't give me
a shot at it."
212
00:11:53,830 --> 00:11:55,830
I said, "Man, you just
got to hang in there.
213
00:11:55,166 --> 00:11:57,375
"Just don't give up.
Don't give up," you know.
214
00:11:57,458 --> 00:12:00,291
But, uh, he couldn't
take it. Uh-uh.
215
00:12:00,375 --> 00:12:02,500
"No, I'm gonna go ahead
and do something better."
216
00:12:06,375 --> 00:12:08,166
Was it what you thought
it was gonna be, the NFL?
217
00:12:08,250 --> 00:12:09,667
Hell, no.
218
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:12,250
The NFL is the worst
motherfucking place
219
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:13,250
in the world to be.
220
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:14,875
Why is that?
221
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:17,750
Because the NFL is like
a plantation for slaves.
222
00:12:17,834 --> 00:12:19,834
They treat you like a kid.
223
00:12:19,917 --> 00:12:24,375
Because when you're big,
it represents dumb.
224
00:12:24,458 --> 00:12:26,250
- When you're big?
- No matter what. No matter what.
225
00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:28,500
I walk in here and people see me,
and they'll be like,
226
00:12:28,583 --> 00:12:29,667
even when I was young,
they'll be like,
227
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:31,625
"Oh, man, that's a big
crazy motherfucker.
228
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:33,834
"He must be the bodyguard."
229
00:12:33,917 --> 00:12:37,000
Shit, why do I gotta be
the bodyguard? I'm a CEO.
230
00:12:37,830 --> 00:12:39,709
And then, the darker you are,
231
00:12:39,792 --> 00:12:41,410
the more stupid
they think you are.
232
00:12:41,125 --> 00:12:42,834
Because, I think,
you remind them of a slave.
233
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,667
I've had like,
conversations with people
234
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:48,410
who'd tell me, like,
235
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:51,830
"You're an African-American."
236
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:52,250
And I get pissed off.
237
00:12:52,333 --> 00:12:54,458
I ain't no fucking
"African-American."
238
00:12:54,542 --> 00:12:57,000
Africans don't even call their motherfucking selves "Africans."
239
00:12:57,875 --> 00:12:59,333
If you look at an African,
240
00:12:59,417 --> 00:13:00,875
if they're from Kenya,
241
00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:02,834
they call themselves "Kenyans."
242
00:13:02,917 --> 00:13:04,625
And then the motherfucker
tells me, he said,
243
00:13:06,834 --> 00:13:10,458
"Well, your ancestors
were slaves."
244
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:13,830
I heard the fuck out of that.
245
00:13:13,166 --> 00:13:15,500
How do you know my ancestors
weren't the slave owners?
246
00:13:16,792 --> 00:13:18,250
Suge, with that mentality...
247
00:13:18,333 --> 00:13:20,830
Suge, no, I get that,
but with that mentality...
248
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,458
Let me ask you this, after college,
you did what as a job?
249
00:13:22,542 --> 00:13:23,834
First thing I did,
250
00:13:23,917 --> 00:13:26,830
- I went out there to play some ball.
- Right.
251
00:13:26,166 --> 00:13:27,834
After playing some ball,
252
00:13:27,917 --> 00:13:30,667
like on the off-seasons,
even in college.
253
00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:32,000
- Right.
- Off-seasons...
254
00:13:38,625 --> 00:13:40,000
All the big shows, big concerts.
255
00:13:43,834 --> 00:13:45,917
Were you just rolling
with them as an employee
256
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,417
or were you body guarding them?
257
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:48,667
- Shit.
- A little bit of both?
258
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:50,830
A little bit of everything.
259
00:13:50,166 --> 00:13:52,410
There was times when, you know,
260
00:13:52,125 --> 00:13:54,000
you got to get your hands dirty
on that road.
261
00:14:08,830 --> 00:14:09,625
- What year was this?
- It's the '80s.
262
00:14:09,709 --> 00:14:10,709
- The '80s right?
- Yeah.
263
00:14:15,917 --> 00:14:17,959
From the artists?
264
00:14:18,410 --> 00:14:20,500
My guys come to me.
They're like, "Shit, what's up?"
265
00:14:20,917 --> 00:14:22,709
I said, "Shit,
266
00:14:22,792 --> 00:14:24,959
"I'm bringing Compton to this motherfucker."
You know what I mean?
267
00:14:25,410 --> 00:14:26,417
Is that where you learned
the music game,
268
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:29,917
as far as the business,
through that experience?
269
00:14:33,625 --> 00:14:34,625
I've seen guys
come up and be, like,
270
00:14:34,709 --> 00:14:36,417
"Man, I got this hit song,"
271
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:40,250
and they give a demo
to an artist or the manager.
272
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:41,875
All of a sudden, somebody else
is singing that song,
273
00:14:41,959 --> 00:14:43,542
and he's not getting no credits.
274
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:46,125
Or he sold it to them
for $1,000,
275
00:14:46,208 --> 00:14:49,333
and it was worth half-a-million.
276
00:14:49,417 --> 00:14:51,959
So the first thing I did was
I started a publishing company.
277
00:14:52,410 --> 00:14:53,333
You started
a publishing company?
278
00:14:53,417 --> 00:14:54,625
- By yourself?
- By myself.
279
00:14:54,709 --> 00:14:56,166
You just took your own cash?
280
00:14:56,250 --> 00:14:58,917
I took my own cash and started
this publishing company.
281
00:15:00,667 --> 00:15:01,917
So, I didn't have writers.
282
00:15:06,250 --> 00:15:08,959
Once, I'm lying on the couch,
and I hear this song.
283
00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:11,458
♪ Ice Ice Baby ♪
284
00:15:11,542 --> 00:15:13,125
So, I hear that...
285
00:15:18,875 --> 00:15:20,625
He's dancing in the video,
286
00:15:20,709 --> 00:15:22,500
and, shit, I'm dancing, too.
287
00:15:22,583 --> 00:15:23,875
When they're singing,
Ice Ice Baby.
288
00:15:23,959 --> 00:15:25,917
I'm like, "Shit, money, money."
289
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,583
- "Shit, I'm gonna make money." That's my song!
- That was your song?
290
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:30,792
That was one of your artists?
291
00:15:36,410 --> 00:15:38,208
So, that was my first experience
with the music business,
292
00:15:38,291 --> 00:15:40,250
because when I first called
these motherfuckers
293
00:15:40,333 --> 00:15:41,500
about my bread,
294
00:15:41,583 --> 00:15:42,959
they basically told me,
"Fuck me."
295
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:45,166
When you called, uh,
Vanilla Ice?
296
00:15:49,166 --> 00:15:50,542
So, your artist... What's his name,
the artist who wrote that?
297
00:15:55,542 --> 00:15:57,125
♪ Ice Ice Baby ♪
298
00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:00,830
Who is Mario La Vell Johnson?
299
00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:01,458
His name is listed.
300
00:16:01,542 --> 00:16:02,917
That's the guy that Suge Knight
brought over there,
301
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,291
that is an acquaintance
of mine
302
00:16:04,375 --> 00:16:06,875
that had nothing to do
with that song.
303
00:16:06,959 --> 00:16:09,250
- And you signed over the rights?
- Signed over the rights to him.
304
00:16:09,333 --> 00:16:12,830
So that Suge and them
could get paid for it.
305
00:16:12,166 --> 00:16:13,625
So Mario La Vell Johnson
didn't write that song?
306
00:16:13,709 --> 00:16:14,875
No way.
307
00:16:18,458 --> 00:16:20,417
Suge roughed
one of my bodyguards up.
308
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:22,583
They roughed everybody else
in my whole entourage up.
309
00:16:23,625 --> 00:16:24,959
Suge took me
out on the balcony,
310
00:16:25,410 --> 00:16:26,500
started talking to me
personally.
311
00:16:26,583 --> 00:16:28,375
- On the balcony?
- On the balcony.
312
00:16:28,458 --> 00:16:29,583
High above?
313
00:16:29,667 --> 00:16:31,000
Like, 15 floors.
314
00:16:31,959 --> 00:16:33,417
He had me look over the edge.
315
00:16:34,792 --> 00:16:36,917
He showed me how high
I was up there.
316
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,250
Were you scared?
317
00:16:41,410 --> 00:16:43,750
I needed to wear a diaper
on that day.
318
00:16:43,834 --> 00:16:45,291
I was very scared.
319
00:16:47,959 --> 00:16:49,750
How much were
those points worth?
320
00:16:49,834 --> 00:16:51,291
Three or four million dollars.
321
00:16:51,375 --> 00:16:52,792
Never happened.
322
00:16:52,875 --> 00:16:54,250
- You didn't take him out to the balcony?
- No, I did not.
323
00:16:54,333 --> 00:16:55,625
- It never happened?
- Never happened.
324
00:16:55,709 --> 00:16:57,500
- He's afraid of you.
- He shouldn't be afraid of me.
325
00:16:57,583 --> 00:16:58,667
'Cause I can make him a star.
326
00:16:59,583 --> 00:17:01,208
- You can make him a star?
- Exactly.
327
00:17:02,375 --> 00:17:04,250
I remember the first time
I got a big check.
328
00:17:05,375 --> 00:17:06,917
I wasn't gonna give
the bank my check
329
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,583
until they showed me some money.
330
00:17:09,875 --> 00:17:11,542
So I talked to the clerk.
331
00:17:11,625 --> 00:17:13,583
I talked to the assistant manager,
I talked to the manager.
332
00:17:13,667 --> 00:17:15,834
"Show me some money.
I wanna see some shit.
333
00:17:15,917 --> 00:17:17,250
"If I'm gonna give you
my motherfucking check,
334
00:17:17,333 --> 00:17:18,959
"I want to see some money."
335
00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:20,291
They're like,
"Man, we don't do that."
336
00:17:20,375 --> 00:17:21,667
"I'm from Compton, I don't
care about anybody else.
337
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:23,542
"I wanna see the money.
338
00:17:23,625 --> 00:17:25,458
"Let me see
how all that money looks."
339
00:17:25,542 --> 00:17:26,792
They took me to the back,
340
00:17:26,875 --> 00:17:29,500
opened the vault.
I seen that money.
341
00:17:29,583 --> 00:17:32,250
I put my change in there,
and I felt like...
342
00:17:33,917 --> 00:17:37,830
Anybody need any help,
I got you. I'm rich.
343
00:17:37,667 --> 00:17:39,417
Yo!
344
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:41,625
Dude, I wanna tell you about a little history that they just made.
345
00:17:41,709 --> 00:17:45,125
Their album Niggaz4Life
debuted at number two.
346
00:17:45,208 --> 00:17:47,583
Only artist to do that
before them
347
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:48,917
was Michael Jackson.
348
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,792
And the next week,
guess where they went.
349
00:17:50,875 --> 00:17:52,625
Number one. Straight to the top.
350
00:17:52,709 --> 00:17:54,792
Number one pop album in America.
351
00:17:54,875 --> 00:17:57,410
N.W.A, Niggaz Wit Attitude.
352
00:17:57,125 --> 00:17:58,458
What does that all mean,
you know?
353
00:17:58,542 --> 00:18:01,410
Look, Niggaz4Life started out...
354
00:18:01,125 --> 00:18:02,917
We got the title because,
you know, we niggas,
355
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,709
ignorant brothers out here,
356
00:18:04,792 --> 00:18:06,000
trying to make a dollar,
you know what I'm saying?
357
00:18:06,830 --> 00:18:07,875
Yeah, but how ignorant is N.W.A?
358
00:18:07,959 --> 00:18:09,625
Come on, G,
y'all went to number one.
359
00:18:09,709 --> 00:18:10,917
You got a billboard
on Sunset Boulevard.
360
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,333
What's up with all that, man?
361
00:18:12,417 --> 00:18:14,830
It don't mean nothing
till you get them dollars.
362
00:18:14,166 --> 00:18:15,333
I was managing Andre.
363
00:18:18,709 --> 00:18:19,625
- Dr. Dre?
- Yeah.
364
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:24,333
And what was
the manager's name?
365
00:18:24,417 --> 00:18:25,792
- Jerry Heller?
- Jerry Heller.
366
00:18:25,875 --> 00:18:27,667
Wasn't that supposed to be
Eazy-E's company?
367
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:29,458
It was Eazy's company.
368
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:33,375
Jerry would take
20 % off the top.
369
00:18:33,458 --> 00:18:34,959
And he added himself
as a group member.
370
00:18:35,410 --> 00:18:36,291
A group member to N.W.A?
371
00:18:38,667 --> 00:18:41,542
You said,
"If I stole from these guys,
372
00:18:41,625 --> 00:18:43,208
"why did they never sue me?"
373
00:18:43,291 --> 00:18:45,333
Nobody ever sued, so obviously
374
00:18:45,417 --> 00:18:49,834
they were just using it
as an excuse in...
375
00:18:50,542 --> 00:18:52,917
In Compton or wherever,
376
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,750
to say, "You know, we got rid of
the white guy, you know,
377
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:59,667
"because he was helping Eazy
steal or whatever."
378
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:04,458
But nobody ever sued me
and nobody ever sued him.
379
00:19:04,542 --> 00:19:06,667
So, obviously it was
all bullshit.
380
00:19:09,959 --> 00:19:11,250
I turned him down.
381
00:19:20,125 --> 00:19:24,291
Instead of Dre being there,
Suge Knight was there, and guys in black jackets
382
00:19:24,375 --> 00:19:27,333
with lead pipes
and baseball bats.
383
00:19:27,417 --> 00:19:30,625
And forced him,
under threat of his life,
384
00:19:30,709 --> 00:19:32,959
and telling him that
they would kill his mother,
385
00:19:33,410 --> 00:19:34,750
and that they were
holding me hostage.
386
00:19:34,834 --> 00:19:37,830
Under those kinds of duress,
387
00:19:37,166 --> 00:19:39,417
got him to sign releases
for Dr. Dre.
388
00:19:41,166 --> 00:19:43,830
You know, he probably
cost me personally,
389
00:19:44,792 --> 00:19:47,750
like $25 or 30 million,
you know?
390
00:19:47,834 --> 00:19:49,792
Eazy said
y'all came at him with bats,
391
00:19:49,875 --> 00:19:51,917
- you know what I'm saying?
- No, man.
392
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,625
Swinging and all that
whole thing,
393
00:19:53,709 --> 00:19:55,000
you know what I'm saying?
394
00:19:55,830 --> 00:19:58,410
Dr. Dre came that way at Eazy-E,
know what I'm saying?
395
00:19:58,125 --> 00:19:59,250
Is that the way
you got him to sign...
396
00:19:59,333 --> 00:20:00,875
I don't know
what he's talking about.
397
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:05,208
Force can get you
in the door.
398
00:20:06,959 --> 00:20:09,709
Brain is gonna keep you there to be able to create and do something.
399
00:20:09,792 --> 00:20:11,750
'Cause if you force somebody
to do something...
400
00:20:11,834 --> 00:20:13,000
If you're a dummy,
how would you know
401
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:14,458
if they're giving you
a great deal?
402
00:20:20,834 --> 00:20:23,166
How did you create
the name "Death Row"?
403
00:20:23,250 --> 00:20:25,834
We were just trying to come up with a name for the record label.
404
00:20:25,917 --> 00:20:28,750
Andre was like,
"I got the perfect name for the company."
405
00:20:28,834 --> 00:20:29,750
"What you got?"
406
00:20:29,834 --> 00:20:31,250
"Future Shock."
407
00:20:32,250 --> 00:20:34,000
A guy named Unknown was like,
408
00:20:34,830 --> 00:20:36,333
"Russell and them got Def Jam.
What if it was like
409
00:20:36,417 --> 00:20:38,667
"Deaf Row, but like 'deaf,'
you can't hear?"
410
00:20:38,750 --> 00:20:42,291
I was like, "Look, we ain't
no kids around here.
411
00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:43,875
"We ain't Hollywood.
412
00:20:43,959 --> 00:20:45,917
"Motherfucker,
we still in the ghetto.
413
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,333
"We're gonna do some shit
where it's 'Death Row.'
414
00:20:48,417 --> 00:20:49,792
"Like the real death row,
415
00:20:49,875 --> 00:20:51,000
"the electric chair
type of shit."
416
00:21:07,333 --> 00:21:09,375
So that's when it really
became officially Death Row.
417
00:21:16,208 --> 00:21:19,830
Let me see you put your hands together and say, "Oh, yeah."
418
00:21:19,166 --> 00:21:20,333
Oh, yeah.
419
00:21:20,417 --> 00:21:22,917
Let me see somebody
give Dre, Suge,
420
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,959
DOC, a round of applause.
421
00:21:25,410 --> 00:21:29,000
Death Row Records is gonna be
the record company of the 2000s.
422
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:30,583
Put your hands together!
423
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:32,125
Come on, y'all,
make some noise.
424
00:21:36,375 --> 00:21:38,333
You just
recently bought a studio.
425
00:21:38,417 --> 00:21:40,410
What did you do
to get where you are now?
426
00:21:40,125 --> 00:21:41,834
Work hard. Hard work.
427
00:21:41,917 --> 00:21:44,458
I started on a 4-track
in a garage in Compton.
428
00:21:44,542 --> 00:21:47,410
Dr. Dre was gonna do
his own thing.
429
00:21:47,125 --> 00:21:50,959
And with a lot of help from
Suge Knight and Harry O,
430
00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:53,125
and a number of people
and we got it all together.
431
00:21:53,208 --> 00:21:54,542
I get DOC, I get Snoop.
432
00:22:02,208 --> 00:22:04,250
Death Row is capable
433
00:22:04,333 --> 00:22:08,208
of totally annihilating
434
00:22:08,291 --> 00:22:11,291
any other label
in this music business,
435
00:22:11,375 --> 00:22:14,410
but we ain't like that.
436
00:22:14,125 --> 00:22:17,250
We got the best producers,
we got the best artists.
437
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:19,792
And we were getting the talent off the streets that they can't get.
438
00:22:19,875 --> 00:22:21,542
There's a lot of talent around.
439
00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:23,830
Guys who didn't have
the opportunity
440
00:22:23,166 --> 00:22:25,583
to have a chance
to prove themselves.
441
00:22:25,667 --> 00:22:27,250
As far as GF Entertainment goes,
442
00:22:27,333 --> 00:22:29,709
with the studio and the films,
443
00:22:29,792 --> 00:22:31,750
we're giving all the youngsters
the opportunity,
444
00:22:31,834 --> 00:22:33,417
from all the neighborhoods.
445
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:35,709
Well, basically,
we haven't forgotten where we came from.
446
00:22:52,250 --> 00:22:54,291
See, that's the time we were
putting some music out.
447
00:22:54,375 --> 00:22:55,959
Most of the shit
we were talking about
448
00:22:56,410 --> 00:22:59,542
had something to do
with the troops or the riots.
449
00:22:59,625 --> 00:23:01,291
You know,
shit that was really going on.
450
00:23:27,917 --> 00:23:29,291
This guy is
laying in the street.
451
00:23:29,375 --> 00:23:30,500
Hit the siren, Doug.
452
00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:38,208
I was raised like...
453
00:23:38,291 --> 00:23:42,500
Music, it was like
the struggle of the slaves,
454
00:23:42,583 --> 00:23:44,375
the struggle of the blues,
455
00:23:44,458 --> 00:23:45,792
the struggle of depression.
456
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:50,542
So, when I got of age,
457
00:23:50,625 --> 00:23:54,410
we weren't about
the struggle of depression
458
00:23:54,125 --> 00:23:57,166
and crying out for help.
459
00:23:57,250 --> 00:23:58,625
We were about saying,
460
00:23:58,709 --> 00:24:01,208
"Fuck you,
we're taking this and...
461
00:24:01,291 --> 00:24:02,583
"This bitch over here..."
462
00:24:02,667 --> 00:24:04,125
And people were cussing
on the records
463
00:24:04,208 --> 00:24:05,917
and saying the fuck
what they wanna say,
464
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,208
and expressing themselves.
465
00:24:16,333 --> 00:24:18,166
♪ Yeah, and you don't stop ♪
466
00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:33,125
So, you got your label going,
you got your money
467
00:24:33,208 --> 00:24:35,583
from the soundtrack.
So how did you meet Jimmy?
468
00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:37,166
So we go to
the meeting with Interscope.
469
00:24:37,250 --> 00:24:40,208
I said,
"I'm gonna get you the best song for the summer.
470
00:24:40,291 --> 00:24:43,125
I said, "Better yet,
the best song for the whole year.
471
00:24:43,208 --> 00:24:46,830
"And I got an album done,
I got a record label.
472
00:24:46,166 --> 00:24:48,830
"The album's called
The Chronic."
473
00:24:48,166 --> 00:24:49,625
They're like,
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
474
00:24:49,709 --> 00:24:51,875
So I play 'G' Thang for them.
475
00:24:53,709 --> 00:24:55,125
Jimmy and the rest
of those dudes said
476
00:24:55,208 --> 00:24:57,375
it was the worst song ever.
"Oh, this is not a hit song."
477
00:24:57,458 --> 00:25:00,250
I tell Andre, "Let's go."
So we pushed.
478
00:25:09,458 --> 00:25:10,875
So I take the song to radio.
479
00:25:12,458 --> 00:25:14,625
The song is everywhere,
it's blowing up.
480
00:25:14,709 --> 00:25:17,410
- And then they want the song back.
- Right.
481
00:25:17,125 --> 00:25:19,000
They say, "We wanna meet."
482
00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:20,834
I met with Ted and Jimmy
and they told me
483
00:25:20,917 --> 00:25:24,625
they didn't wanna mess with
no R&B, hip-hop, rap music,
484
00:25:24,709 --> 00:25:27,125
because they basically
flat-out said, you know,
485
00:25:27,208 --> 00:25:29,458
"Black motherfuckers
is headaches
486
00:25:29,542 --> 00:25:31,750
- "and we don't like dealing with them."
- Right.
487
00:25:31,834 --> 00:25:34,625
I said, "All right, well,
maybe you shouldn't."
488
00:25:34,709 --> 00:25:35,792
"That's why
I'm dealing with them."
489
00:25:35,875 --> 00:25:38,125
I said, "Because we're
from the same place.
490
00:25:38,208 --> 00:25:39,625
"You're saying
you don't like them,
491
00:25:39,709 --> 00:25:40,917
"you don't know them,
492
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,583
"how could you understand them?"
493
00:25:42,667 --> 00:25:44,750
I said,
"Shit, but the way you say it,
494
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:47,830
"we're not talking about like,
we monkeys or something.
495
00:25:47,166 --> 00:25:48,500
- Right.
- "You guys are fucked up.
496
00:25:48,583 --> 00:25:50,500
"It's not animals,
this is real people."
497
00:25:50,583 --> 00:25:54,250
We had that bomb-ass music
for that ass.
498
00:25:54,333 --> 00:25:55,792
That sounds good.
499
00:25:55,875 --> 00:25:57,000
People talking about stuff
500
00:25:57,830 --> 00:26:00,208
that they really
identify stuff with.
501
00:26:00,291 --> 00:26:02,208
You got a record
where a song playing...
502
00:26:02,291 --> 00:26:04,458
If it was 'G' Thang
or something like that,
503
00:26:04,542 --> 00:26:06,417
it makes you feel like, "Shit,
504
00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:09,583
"we got hope around
this motherfucker."
505
00:26:09,667 --> 00:26:12,500
Bloods
and Crips, some 100,000 strong
506
00:26:12,583 --> 00:26:15,166
may turn their anger about
the Rodney King verdict
507
00:26:15,250 --> 00:26:16,750
into peace.
508
00:26:16,834 --> 00:26:18,917
The message rose through
the smoke and flames.
509
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,500
Gang graffiti never seen before.
510
00:26:21,583 --> 00:26:24,166
A plea, a call for unity.
511
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:25,709
In the past, the mere sight
512
00:26:25,792 --> 00:26:27,291
of their rival gang's colors,
513
00:26:27,375 --> 00:26:29,500
red for Bloods, blue for Crips,
514
00:26:29,583 --> 00:26:31,458
could trigger deadly violence.
515
00:26:31,542 --> 00:26:33,208
What about
the gang affiliations
516
00:26:33,291 --> 00:26:34,542
that everybody was talking about,
Death Row with the Blood?
517
00:26:36,410 --> 00:26:39,291
Homies who got red rags on
got their red rags on.
518
00:26:39,375 --> 00:26:41,667
Homies, you know,
they wear blue.
519
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:43,959
Snoop and the Dogg Pound,
they got their blue rags.
520
00:26:44,410 --> 00:26:47,875
It was about the most
powerful movement
521
00:26:48,792 --> 00:26:50,458
that ended up in a negative way.
522
00:26:50,542 --> 00:26:52,458
But it was spreading
all over the world,
523
00:26:52,542 --> 00:26:54,458
it's like gang banging.
524
00:26:55,166 --> 00:26:56,291
Red and blue.
525
00:26:56,375 --> 00:26:57,875
Getting real money.
526
00:26:57,959 --> 00:26:59,667
There ain't no shooting,
there ain't no violence.
527
00:26:59,750 --> 00:27:02,542
I really enjoyed that shit
when the peace treaty was on.
528
00:27:02,625 --> 00:27:04,834
Actually going to
Blood neighborhoods,
529
00:27:04,917 --> 00:27:07,458
having smoke-outs,
chilling at picnics.
530
00:27:07,542 --> 00:27:09,959
That was a feeling that
a motherfucker can't explain.
531
00:27:10,410 --> 00:27:12,458
Everybody was accepting
everybody for what they was,
532
00:27:12,542 --> 00:27:13,750
not for where they were from.
533
00:27:13,834 --> 00:27:16,166
You could still wear
your gang colors.
534
00:27:16,250 --> 00:27:20,830
You know what I'm saying?
You still from this, you still from that.
535
00:27:20,166 --> 00:27:21,875
It don't matter.
536
00:27:21,959 --> 00:27:24,830
And everybody was black
at that moment,
537
00:27:24,166 --> 00:27:25,458
you know what I'm saying?
538
00:27:25,542 --> 00:27:27,917
Snoop and Dre made
Soul Train tonight.
539
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,750
But Death Row still got
some time to do this
540
00:27:29,834 --> 00:27:32,166
for Dre and Death Row
and everybody.
541
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:34,000
We gave our own awards out.
542
00:27:34,830 --> 00:27:37,250
Everybody, we got an award
for Dre for Best Producer,
543
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:39,410
Best Artist,
544
00:27:39,125 --> 00:27:40,709
best motherfucker around here.
545
00:27:44,959 --> 00:27:47,208
Hey! And he ain't no
Captain Save-a-Ho, either.
546
00:27:50,333 --> 00:27:53,750
Here it is. Snoop Dogg
got the Pimp Award.
547
00:27:53,834 --> 00:27:57,333
"Pimp of the Year."
My bitch better have my money.
548
00:27:57,417 --> 00:27:58,709
Snoop Dogg!
549
00:27:58,792 --> 00:27:59,959
Come on, nigga, get up.
550
00:28:00,410 --> 00:28:02,208
Give a speech and shit.
551
00:28:02,291 --> 00:28:04,750
Let me give a shout-out to all the new talent on Death Row.
552
00:28:04,834 --> 00:28:05,792
Just a few things
I think are proper
553
00:28:05,875 --> 00:28:07,125
with Death Row, the new artists.
554
00:28:07,208 --> 00:28:08,917
We're gonna make room
for everybody.
555
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,166
So everybody can come up here
and get one of these next year.
556
00:28:11,250 --> 00:28:13,542
There's enough room for everybody,
you know what I'm saying?
557
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:14,917
I would take artists
on Death Row
558
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,250
and make them a household name
559
00:28:16,333 --> 00:28:18,166
before they even put
a record out.
560
00:28:18,250 --> 00:28:20,375
Like, everybody knew who Danny Boy was,
and he didn't have a record out.
561
00:28:20,458 --> 00:28:22,917
Everybody knew who Jewell was,
and she didn't have a record out.
562
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,667
Or the Dogg Pound, or Nate.
You know.
563
00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:27,792
Explain to me
how you worked.
564
00:28:27,875 --> 00:28:30,417
I go to the studio
from beginning to end.
565
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:33,000
And once I hear them
and once we do the song,
566
00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:36,583
then it's all about
picking the best song.
567
00:28:36,667 --> 00:28:38,417
For me, I picked
the best song for radio.
568
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:41,410
At first, in rap music,
569
00:28:41,125 --> 00:28:43,875
if they were getting 5 %,
they got 10 % airplay,
570
00:28:43,959 --> 00:28:46,458
they popped champagne
and had a party.
571
00:28:46,542 --> 00:28:47,917
So when I told them
I was bringing people in
572
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,625
to do radio,
specialize in radio,
573
00:28:49,709 --> 00:28:51,458
they said, "Don't do it,
it won't work."
574
00:28:51,542 --> 00:28:53,417
I damn near had
100 % of the music
575
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,291
playing on the radio
was my shit.
576
00:28:55,375 --> 00:28:57,542
How do you do that?
577
00:28:57,625 --> 00:29:00,625
Well, I can't tell everybody that.
- I got you.
578
00:29:00,709 --> 00:29:03,583
I mean, 'cause you know,
they say it's called payola or something.
579
00:29:08,333 --> 00:29:09,500
- You make good music.
- Yeah.
580
00:29:16,208 --> 00:29:18,166
There's a lot of
stories about Death Row
581
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:20,250
and how it was run from
the inside. They had a, uh...
582
00:29:20,333 --> 00:29:22,166
They said there was
a "red room."
583
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:24,667
And a lot of people
said that, basically,
584
00:29:24,750 --> 00:29:27,250
if you came in there
wanting a record deal,
585
00:29:27,333 --> 00:29:28,875
then you were gonna rap,
586
00:29:28,959 --> 00:29:30,333
and you'd rap right there
on the floor.
587
00:29:30,417 --> 00:29:32,333
If it was garbage,
you got a beat-down.
588
00:29:51,208 --> 00:29:52,875
22-year-old Snoop Doggy Dogg
589
00:29:52,959 --> 00:29:56,410
will be arraigned later this week on murder charges.
590
00:29:56,125 --> 00:29:57,500
What is
your plea at this time?
591
00:29:57,583 --> 00:29:58,834
Not guilty.
592
00:30:02,125 --> 00:30:03,917
Snoop was supposed
to go to prison
593
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,417
for the rest of his life.
594
00:30:07,125 --> 00:30:09,410
Well, I laid the money out
to fight Snoop's case,
595
00:30:09,792 --> 00:30:11,458
when he have no songs done.
596
00:30:11,542 --> 00:30:13,458
If we had lost, he would have
been gone to prison
597
00:30:13,542 --> 00:30:15,750
for the rest of his life,
and that's it.
598
00:30:16,792 --> 00:30:18,750
You know, that was my people.
599
00:30:18,834 --> 00:30:20,375
So I didn't wanna see
this nigga go to jail
600
00:30:20,458 --> 00:30:22,834
for the rest of his life,
or anybody else.
601
00:30:22,917 --> 00:30:26,291
So I did whatever I had to do
to put my money to use
602
00:30:26,375 --> 00:30:27,583
and make sure
he didn't go to prison.
603
00:30:28,208 --> 00:30:29,917
And before that,
604
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,917
I stopped Andre from
going to prison three times.
605
00:30:36,291 --> 00:30:38,375
So, we paid all that money,
606
00:30:38,458 --> 00:30:40,583
worked out a little deal,
worked out the situation,
607
00:30:40,667 --> 00:30:43,792
where he had to go
to county jail for a minute.
608
00:30:43,875 --> 00:30:46,208
Nate Dogg had damn near
609
00:30:46,291 --> 00:30:49,333
five Taco Bell robberies
on camera.
610
00:30:49,417 --> 00:30:51,830
He was on camera
five times robbing Taco Bells?
611
00:30:51,166 --> 00:30:53,375
Taco Bells. I paid a quarter
of a million dollars
612
00:30:53,458 --> 00:30:55,917
to get the shit beat
so he wouldn't go to prison.
613
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,417
Everybody had their situations
614
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:01,834
where they were supposed to
go to prison and nobody went.
615
00:31:01,917 --> 00:31:04,000
When I made it,
when I got some money...
616
00:31:04,830 --> 00:31:07,583
Shit. You best believe
I couldn't wait
617
00:31:07,667 --> 00:31:09,291
to do something back
and give something back.
618
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:15,917
And one of the things that
I felt was really important.
619
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,750
Everybody have opportunity.
620
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:21,834
A lot of artists come from the same place you guys came from.
621
00:31:21,917 --> 00:31:23,375
The same place I came from.
622
00:31:23,458 --> 00:31:26,333
Death Row Records held
its annual turkey giveaway,
623
00:31:26,417 --> 00:31:28,208
with the compliments of
Death Row co-founder,
624
00:31:28,291 --> 00:31:29,458
Suge Knight.
625
00:31:29,542 --> 00:31:31,375
Hundreds of turkeys
were handed out
626
00:31:31,458 --> 00:31:33,333
at the parking lot of
the Compton Fashion Center.
627
00:31:33,417 --> 00:31:35,458
Death Row Records played
Santa Claus today
628
00:31:35,542 --> 00:31:38,208
to children at the Martin Luther King Junior/Drew Medical Center.
629
00:31:38,291 --> 00:31:40,667
Meanwhile, in Beverly Hills,
some 600 single mothers
630
00:31:40,750 --> 00:31:42,667
and their children from LA's
urban neighborhoods
631
00:31:42,750 --> 00:31:43,792
were treated to a feast,
632
00:31:43,875 --> 00:31:45,917
courtesy of Death Row Records.
633
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,750
I didn't know
where the money at.
634
00:31:47,834 --> 00:31:49,333
Then he started giving me money.
635
00:31:49,417 --> 00:31:50,583
Buying you cars.
636
00:31:50,667 --> 00:31:52,583
He bought me cars all the time.
637
00:31:52,667 --> 00:31:54,375
I wanted some kind of van.
638
00:31:54,458 --> 00:31:57,291
He said,
"No, my momma got class.
639
00:31:57,375 --> 00:31:58,750
"I think you should have
a Cadillac."
640
00:32:00,125 --> 00:32:01,959
Then I fell in love with
the Cadillac.
641
00:32:03,166 --> 00:32:05,959
He liked to come back
to the hood, you know.
642
00:32:06,410 --> 00:32:10,000
And nothing but trouble
in the hood. We all know that.
643
00:32:10,830 --> 00:32:13,959
He liked to socialize with
the guys and stuff like that,
644
00:32:14,410 --> 00:32:16,410
but when you're up
in that bracket
645
00:32:16,125 --> 00:32:18,458
you just can't, uh...
You just can't come back
646
00:32:18,542 --> 00:32:20,208
and sit on the corner.
647
00:32:20,291 --> 00:32:22,000
You know what I'm saying?
648
00:32:50,208 --> 00:32:51,667
Snoop Doggy Dogg's album,
Doggystyle,
649
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:54,250
has already sold advanced orders
of two million.
650
00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:56,291
Released last Monday,
it sold out immediately.
651
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:59,625
It's the first debut album ever to enter the charts at number one.
652
00:32:59,709 --> 00:33:01,250
We're here at Tower Records,
653
00:33:01,333 --> 00:33:03,917
where this is really the hottest album on the shelves right now.
654
00:33:12,583 --> 00:33:14,250
Do you feel like
some of these artists
655
00:33:14,333 --> 00:33:16,410
are portraying themselves
656
00:33:16,125 --> 00:33:18,500
as these characters
they grew up with in movies?
657
00:33:23,333 --> 00:33:24,291
Right. What's your
favorite movie?
658
00:33:24,375 --> 00:33:25,709
Bugsy. Bugsy Siegel.
659
00:33:25,792 --> 00:33:27,458
- Bugsy Siegel.
- Yeah.
660
00:33:27,542 --> 00:33:29,875
- Tell me why.
- Bugsy was Jewish.
661
00:33:29,959 --> 00:33:31,792
Right, yeah.
662
00:33:31,875 --> 00:33:34,709
And you know, I'm not hatin',
but I'm pretty much, like, Jewish also.
663
00:33:34,792 --> 00:33:37,830
I just don't want to be
a part of the American dream,
664
00:33:37,166 --> 00:33:38,750
I want to own
the American dream.
665
00:33:38,834 --> 00:33:40,542
So, you know...
666
00:33:40,625 --> 00:33:42,750
That's why I feel like,
you know, I'm Jewish.
667
00:33:42,834 --> 00:33:45,417
Like Bugsy Siegel was Jewish,
668
00:33:45,500 --> 00:33:47,583
- but he was running with the Italians.
- Right.
669
00:33:47,667 --> 00:33:50,709
He was airing motherfuckers out
like he was Italian.
670
00:33:50,792 --> 00:33:53,000
As far as shooting 'em in the dome,
taking their birthdays.
671
00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:56,125
Right. But he went out,
violently.
672
00:34:04,291 --> 00:34:05,500
I like Scarface, though.
673
00:34:05,583 --> 00:34:07,375
Scarface was like,
he learned a lot...
674
00:34:07,458 --> 00:34:09,208
What I learned about Scarface
is that
675
00:34:09,291 --> 00:34:11,333
I take it from a different view,
you know what I mean?
676
00:34:11,417 --> 00:34:12,917
I think it was about
a motherfucker having faith
677
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,750
and believing in himself.
678
00:34:14,834 --> 00:34:17,410
If you believe you can do better,
you can do better.
679
00:34:17,125 --> 00:34:18,458
And that's what Scarface
was about.
680
00:34:18,542 --> 00:34:20,375
I'm Scarface without the drugs,
681
00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:22,830
and without the motherfucker
getting killed at the end.
682
00:34:29,417 --> 00:34:31,625
There's a lot
of speculation about,
683
00:34:31,709 --> 00:34:34,750
at that time, the way
most companies got started
684
00:34:34,834 --> 00:34:36,959
in the rap game was through
drug-dealing and all that.
685
00:34:37,410 --> 00:34:38,250
What's your thoughts on that?
686
00:35:28,333 --> 00:35:30,750
Why do you think a lot
of people view Death Row
687
00:35:30,834 --> 00:35:33,417
as a criminal enterprise
688
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:35,500
as opposed to a record company?
689
00:35:35,583 --> 00:35:37,000
Competition.
690
00:35:37,830 --> 00:35:40,417
You know,
before I started the business,
691
00:35:41,709 --> 00:35:44,333
everybody pretty much done
what they was told.
692
00:35:44,417 --> 00:35:46,208
So, when I decided to
come in and start a label,
693
00:35:46,291 --> 00:35:48,583
where it was owned
by the person
694
00:35:48,667 --> 00:35:50,291
who started the company
695
00:35:50,375 --> 00:35:53,625
and it was black-owned,
people had a problem with it.
696
00:35:53,709 --> 00:35:55,333
Instead of them telling them,
you know,
697
00:35:55,417 --> 00:35:57,917
that I work harder than them,
I'm smarter than them,
698
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,750
they told them I turn around
and I intimidate motherfuckers.
699
00:36:00,834 --> 00:36:03,917
Some people say you ran
Death Row like a cartel.
700
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,375
Our company
and our organization,
701
00:36:05,458 --> 00:36:08,250
our empire was like
their empire.
702
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:12,792
Our empire was not ran by a man
703
00:36:12,875 --> 00:36:15,500
who started off on third base
and thought he hit a triple.
704
00:36:15,583 --> 00:36:17,500
You know, I come straight
from the bottom of Compton.
705
00:36:18,830 --> 00:36:19,959
Only thing different was
706
00:36:20,410 --> 00:36:23,250
I was selling music
instead of drugs.
707
00:36:23,333 --> 00:36:25,834
But, as far as being aggressive,
708
00:36:25,917 --> 00:36:29,410
I probably was more aggressive
than some of those dudes,
709
00:36:29,125 --> 00:36:31,959
because I believed in the business,
I believed in the vision.
710
00:36:32,709 --> 00:36:34,250
So when it came down to it,
711
00:36:35,333 --> 00:36:38,375
I felt I would do
anything and everything
712
00:36:38,458 --> 00:36:40,125
to make sure the people
on my team win.
713
00:36:40,208 --> 00:36:41,875
Make sure these babies get fed.
714
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:13,830
How'd the whole East Coast/West Coast conflict even start?
715
00:37:15,417 --> 00:37:16,750
I don't think
there never was no
716
00:37:16,834 --> 00:37:18,125
East Coast/West Coast
717
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,834
- shit like that.
- Right.
718
00:37:20,917 --> 00:37:23,917
At one point in time,
when you really look at it,
719
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
it was two individuals
who bumped heads.
720
00:37:27,830 --> 00:37:29,542
They started off friends
and they bumped heads.
721
00:37:29,625 --> 00:37:31,583
Me and Puffy, we used to
run around with each other.
722
00:37:31,667 --> 00:37:34,625
You know, we'd hang out.
Went to clubs and shit.
723
00:37:34,709 --> 00:37:36,750
And it was way back different
then, you know.
724
00:37:36,834 --> 00:37:40,830
He was getting in the business,
I was in the business.
725
00:37:40,166 --> 00:37:42,542
So he got at me by...
When he first started his first album,
726
00:37:42,625 --> 00:37:44,834
when he did that first project
with Biggie...
727
00:37:54,291 --> 00:37:56,458
Open C-74! Smalls!
728
00:37:58,750 --> 00:38:02,333
Mr. Smalls,
let me walk you to the door.
729
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:08,625
Me and Puffy,
we was friends.
730
00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:57,208
How it really got out of hand,
is that the Source Awards.
731
00:38:58,667 --> 00:39:01,208
Now I lay me down
to sleep
732
00:39:02,410 --> 00:39:04,000
Pray the Lord, my soul to keep
733
00:39:04,830 --> 00:39:05,875
And if I should die
before I wake
734
00:39:07,542 --> 00:39:09,792
I pray to God
I die a Bad Boy.
735
00:39:11,375 --> 00:39:15,709
I live in the east
and I'm gonna die in the east.
736
00:39:16,375 --> 00:39:19,625

00:39:58,166 --> 00:40:00,410
nobody had no respect
for the west.
746
00:40:00,125 --> 00:40:02,583
So, as they're going up there,
they're so used to booing them
747
00:40:02,667 --> 00:40:05,333
and going crazy on them.
You know what I'm saying?
748
00:40:05,417 --> 00:40:07,583
So even when they went
to get their award...
749
00:40:13,583 --> 00:40:15,709
What's up, baby? Yeah!
750
00:40:16,125 --> 00:40:17,458
In the house.
751
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:20,000
- What?
- Wait, wait, wait!
752
00:40:20,830 --> 00:40:22,625
The East Coast don't love
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg?
753
00:40:24,410 --> 00:40:25,542
The East Coast
ain't got no love
754
00:40:25,625 --> 00:40:29,830
for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg?
And Death Row?
755
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:32,410
We know y'all East Coast.
We know... we at.
756
00:40:32,125 --> 00:40:33,667
Y'all don't love us?
757
00:40:35,583 --> 00:40:36,917
Check it out.
758
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,750
I got to give a shout-out
to my homie, Big Suge,
759
00:40:39,834 --> 00:40:42,542
for paving the way
so I can make my music.
760
00:40:42,625 --> 00:40:45,375
Shout-out to everybody
at Death Row once again.
761
00:40:45,458 --> 00:40:47,333
And we out.
762
00:40:47,417 --> 00:40:49,709
When I went up there
and grabbed the award,
763
00:40:49,792 --> 00:40:52,917
and I basically told
the motherfuckers the truth.
764
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,500
Second of all, I'd like to thank my whole,
entire Death Row family.
765
00:40:55,583 --> 00:40:57,000
On both sides,
766
00:40:57,830 --> 00:40:58,417
- you know what I'm saying?
- West side, baby!
767
00:40:58,500 --> 00:41:00,208
And one other thing
I'd like to say.
768
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:02,417
Any artist out there
who wanna be an artist,
769
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,125
and wanna stay a star,
770
00:41:04,208 --> 00:41:06,417
and don't wanna have to worry about the executive producer
771
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:09,875
trying to be all in the videos,
772
00:41:09,959 --> 00:41:13,750
all on the record, dancing,
come to Death Row.
773
00:41:16,208 --> 00:41:18,333
If you're an executive
and you're on the business side,
774
00:41:18,417 --> 00:41:20,410
- be on the business side.
- Right.
775
00:41:20,125 --> 00:41:22,625
Don't turn around
and be in a nigga's video.
776
00:41:22,709 --> 00:41:24,500
Don't turn around
and hop on their record.
777
00:41:24,583 --> 00:41:26,500
- Let the artist be the artist.
- Right.
778
00:41:26,583 --> 00:41:29,166
I'm the executive producer
that a comment was made about
779
00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:31,583
a little bit earlier. But...
Check this out.
780
00:41:31,667 --> 00:41:34,166
Contrary to what
other people may feel,
781
00:41:34,250 --> 00:41:35,750
I would like to say
782
00:41:35,834 --> 00:41:38,125
that I'm very proud of Dr. Dre,
783
00:41:38,208 --> 00:41:40,959
of Death Row and Suge Knight
for their accomplishments.
784
00:41:41,410 --> 00:41:42,750
They want the fame,
they don't want the money.
785
00:41:43,917 --> 00:41:45,542
I'm the only nigga
who wants the money.
786
00:41:46,875 --> 00:41:47,959
They want the fame.
787
00:42:00,417 --> 00:42:01,542
Period.
788
00:42:06,875 --> 00:42:08,792
Like to tell Tupac
to keep his guards up.
789
00:42:08,875 --> 00:42:09,875
We ride with him.
790
00:42:13,709 --> 00:42:15,542
The police violence
against us.
791
00:42:15,625 --> 00:42:18,125
That's making us crazy.
That's what's making us kill each other.
792
00:42:18,208 --> 00:42:19,417
'Cause we really want to
kill the police,
793
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:20,750
but we're scared,
so we kill each other.
794
00:42:20,834 --> 00:42:22,458
You know, we got guns.
795
00:42:22,542 --> 00:42:24,458
We're just scared to shoot the motherfuckers that's doing it to us.
796
00:42:24,542 --> 00:42:26,458
Rapper and actor, Tupac Shakur,
797
00:42:26,542 --> 00:42:28,410
has been arrested in Atlanta
798
00:42:28,125 --> 00:42:30,875
for allegedly shooting
two off-duty police officers.
799
00:42:30,959 --> 00:42:32,500
You can't survive out here
by yourself.
800
00:42:32,583 --> 00:42:33,875
The police ain't nothing
but a gang.
801
00:42:33,959 --> 00:42:36,709
The National Guard is a gang.
The Army is a gang.
802
00:42:36,792 --> 00:42:38,709
We learn all our gang shit
from the government.
803
00:42:38,792 --> 00:42:40,500
The rap music artist,
Tupac Shakur
804
00:42:40,583 --> 00:42:42,750
says he's getting a bum rap
in New York City,
805
00:42:42,834 --> 00:42:44,417
where he is now accused
of sexual abuse.
806
00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:46,667
I grew up Panther-wise,
you know what I'm saying?
807
00:42:46,750 --> 00:42:48,458
Nowadays, a nigga like,
"Fuck that,"
808
00:42:48,542 --> 00:42:49,792
'cause you've got to survive.
809
00:42:49,875 --> 00:42:51,458
You know, I'm screaming
"Black" like the next man,
810
00:42:51,542 --> 00:42:53,208
but when the first shot
lick off,
811
00:42:53,291 --> 00:42:54,583
you know, it's all good.
812
00:42:54,667 --> 00:42:56,625
Rap musician, Tupac Shakur,
813
00:42:56,709 --> 00:42:59,750
is hospitalized with gunshot wounds in the head and groin,
814
00:42:59,834 --> 00:43:01,458
suffered in an apparent
robbery attempt.
815
00:43:01,542 --> 00:43:03,000
Shakur was shot in the head
816
00:43:03,830 --> 00:43:05,709
and groin outside a New York
recording studio.
817
00:43:05,792 --> 00:43:07,875
Shakur's expected
to make a full recovery.
818
00:43:07,959 --> 00:43:09,834
Excuse us through. Excuse us,
excuse us, excuse us.
819
00:43:09,917 --> 00:43:11,875
Tupac Shakur has been
sentenced to a maximum of
820
00:43:11,959 --> 00:43:13,709
four-and-a-half years
in prison.
821
00:43:13,792 --> 00:43:15,250
The state judge
in New York condemned
822
00:43:15,333 --> 00:43:16,667
the 23-year-old rapper
823
00:43:16,750 --> 00:43:18,333
for the crimes
he said had escalated
824
00:43:18,417 --> 00:43:19,959
as Shakur's career progressed.
825
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:36,250
In a recent interview
from behind bars,
826
00:43:36,333 --> 00:43:38,410
rapper and actor, Tupac Shakur,
827
00:43:38,125 --> 00:43:40,917
has accused rappers Puff Daddy
and Notorious B.I.G.,
828
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,834
of involvement
in his New York shooting.
829
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,583
You were on house arrest
while this was going on?
830
00:44:09,291 --> 00:44:11,583
Rapper, actor, and sex-abuse convict,
Tupac Shakur,
831
00:44:11,667 --> 00:44:12,959
walked out of a New York jail
last week.
832
00:44:13,410 --> 00:44:15,333
Bailed out to the tune
of $1.4 million
833
00:44:15,417 --> 00:44:17,333
by Suge Knight
of Death Row Records,
834
00:44:17,417 --> 00:44:19,125
which has signed Shakur
to a record deal.
835
00:44:19,208 --> 00:44:22,830
When I got Pac out,
it was like, "Okay, look."
836
00:44:22,166 --> 00:44:23,542
I said, "I'm gonna be
working on these songs."
837
00:44:23,625 --> 00:44:24,959
I said, "You don't got to do it.
838
00:44:25,410 --> 00:44:28,333
"If you want to be on Death Row,
you got to work.
839
00:44:29,830 --> 00:44:30,458
"And it's immediate work."
840
00:44:31,458 --> 00:44:32,959
Pac looked at me and said,
841
00:44:34,166 --> 00:44:35,917
"Man, this all
I've ever been waiting for.
842
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,000
"To be in a situation
to fuck with you,
843
00:44:38,830 --> 00:44:39,792
"and I can go into the studio
as much as I want to."
844
00:44:39,875 --> 00:44:42,417
He said, "Man, you know how
hard it is to go to a studio?
845
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:44,500
"God, they had me begging
to find a studio to go to.
846
00:44:44,583 --> 00:44:46,500
"Then there'd be
some bullshit."
847
00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:49,709
He said, "Man, y'all be having
your artist shit right."
848
00:44:49,792 --> 00:44:53,410
I said, "Shit. 24 hours,
you can go to the studio as much as you want."
849
00:44:53,125 --> 00:44:55,410
- You left the studio open?
- Twenty-four hours.
850
00:44:55,125 --> 00:44:56,583
It's a lot of money.
851
00:44:56,667 --> 00:44:58,542
Two rooms out of my money.

859
00:45:26,458 --> 00:45:29,834
Nobody ever thought about doing
a double CD
860
00:45:29,917 --> 00:45:31,792
on a rap album, but me.
861
00:45:31,875 --> 00:45:33,834
I was the first one
who thought of that.
862
00:45:33,917 --> 00:45:36,583
Pac wanted to name
his album Euthanasia,
863
00:45:36,667 --> 00:45:38,750
meaning "life after death."
864
00:45:38,834 --> 00:45:41,830
I wanted to name it,
All Eyez On Me.
865
00:45:41,166 --> 00:45:43,291
And I named it
All Eyez On Me.
866
00:45:43,375 --> 00:45:44,625
What did you see in Tupac?
867
00:45:44,709 --> 00:45:46,000
What did you see in him
that made you know
868
00:45:46,830 --> 00:45:47,500
- he was that talented?
- Shit.
869
00:45:48,834 --> 00:45:51,417
I seen myself.
I seen me in Pac.
870
00:45:53,792 --> 00:45:55,333
And anytime you get
to a certain level,
871
00:45:55,417 --> 00:45:58,667
when you're dealing with men
on a certain level who got...
872
00:45:58,750 --> 00:46:00,625
If they're good friends,
873
00:46:00,709 --> 00:46:01,959
they got a lot of things
in common.
874
00:46:02,959 --> 00:46:05,667
I could tell that Pac was down.
875
00:46:06,917 --> 00:46:09,458
But you could tell
he ain't never had no real love.
876
00:46:09,542 --> 00:46:10,542
Like, no real homie love.
877
00:46:10,625 --> 00:46:12,291
He ain't never had no homies.
878
00:46:18,709 --> 00:46:21,709
I had confidence
in our squad.
879
00:46:21,792 --> 00:46:23,410
And everybody did their part.
880
00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:26,333
So you need a team.
881
00:46:26,417 --> 00:46:28,834
If it's really gonna be tight,
you're gonna need a family.
882
00:46:28,917 --> 00:46:31,875
And at that point,
we were a family.
883
00:46:32,625 --> 00:46:34,208
For us, a Death Row family.
884
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:36,166
- Death Row.
- Death Row.
885
00:46:36,250 --> 00:46:37,542
West Coast at its finest.
886
00:46:37,625 --> 00:46:39,125
Niggas better not
wanna see this!
887
00:46:39,208 --> 00:46:40,667
West Coast at its finest.
888
00:46:41,166 --> 00:46:42,959
Pac was like,
889
00:46:43,410 --> 00:46:46,125
"Look, I go to New York,
I go to the studio.
890
00:46:46,208 --> 00:46:49,375
"These niggas set me up
and shot me. Period."
891
00:46:49,458 --> 00:46:51,500
I was like,
"Shit, you're with us.
892
00:46:51,583 --> 00:46:54,830
"Your friends are my friends.
Your enemies are my enemies."
893
00:46:54,792 --> 00:46:56,375
Niggas shot me five times.
894
00:46:56,458 --> 00:46:58,625
I came out of jail
and sold five million.
895
00:46:58,709 --> 00:47:00,583
Them niggas can't fuck with us.
896
00:47:00,667 --> 00:47:01,750
That's how we do it.
897
00:47:01,834 --> 00:47:03,291
You know the playas
are on the west side.
898
00:47:03,375 --> 00:47:04,875
Fuck that "peace" shit.
899
00:47:04,959 --> 00:47:07,583
I ain't even trying to
make peace. Fuck them all.
900
00:47:07,667 --> 00:47:09,830
The playas are on this side.
901
00:47:09,166 --> 00:47:10,583
Pac was saying,
902
00:47:10,667 --> 00:47:13,291
"They set me up at the studio.
903
00:47:13,375 --> 00:47:17,830
"They shot me, they robbed me,
blah, blah, blah," right?
904
00:47:18,410 --> 00:47:19,709
He didn't say it in code.
905
00:47:20,625 --> 00:47:22,583
Shit, Pac called out names.
906
00:47:22,667 --> 00:47:24,208
When they say something to us,
907
00:47:24,291 --> 00:47:26,875
we wanna make sure we mash
their ass like we did Biggie.
908
00:47:26,959 --> 00:47:29,125
See that nigga quiet
as a fucking church mouse.
909
00:47:30,417 --> 00:47:32,500
Dropped Hit 'Em Up,
that nigga quiet as fuck.
910
00:47:32,583 --> 00:47:34,208
He ain't got shit to say.
911
00:47:34,291 --> 00:47:35,959
His wife's pregnant,
that nigga is waiting like
912
00:47:36,410 --> 00:47:39,208
an expectant father
not knowing whose the baby is.
913
00:47:39,291 --> 00:47:41,875
The world don't know I used
a rubber, so it ain't mine.
914
00:47:43,458 --> 00:47:45,166
I'll tell you straight.
915
00:47:45,250 --> 00:47:47,542
I didn't wanna fuck
that fat bitch, no way.
916
00:47:49,410 --> 00:47:51,458
But you know
that's the secret to war.
917
00:47:51,542 --> 00:47:53,208
He's my enemy,
so she looked all right.
918
00:48:04,166 --> 00:48:06,458
Fat motherfucker, Biggie,
came in a gang
919
00:48:06,542 --> 00:48:08,208
gonna try to cross a nigga.
920
00:48:08,291 --> 00:48:09,417
Them niggas don't know.
921
00:48:09,500 --> 00:48:11,750
They gangbang in LA.
They love fighting.
922
00:48:12,500 --> 00:48:13,750
Killing and shooting.
923
00:48:32,417 --> 00:48:34,000
Niggas trying to play
that gangsta shit,
924
00:48:34,830 --> 00:48:36,830
but we MOB
for motherfucking real.
925
00:48:40,750 --> 00:48:43,166
Every nigga on the road
got strikes and shit.
926
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,830
I see Biggie throwing up this.
927
00:49:01,166 --> 00:49:03,291
Biggie don't know nothing
about no gang signs.
928
00:49:03,375 --> 00:49:05,417
Why does the nigga keep
throwing up gang signs?
929
00:49:05,500 --> 00:49:06,917
Be careful, homie.
930
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
All you fake brand-ass niggas,
you've got to be careful,
931
00:49:10,830 --> 00:49:12,830
'cause it's very dangerous
out here.
932
00:49:12,166 --> 00:49:13,667
You can do that little
set-me-up in the studio
933
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:15,166
and shit in New York.
934
00:49:15,250 --> 00:49:17,625
But in California, nigga,
that's where the Gs ride.
935
00:50:51,542 --> 00:50:53,500
If any,
what pressure do you feel
936
00:50:53,583 --> 00:50:55,625
without Dre?
937
00:50:55,709 --> 00:50:57,000
I mean,
it's a lot of pressure,
938
00:50:57,830 --> 00:51:00,291
but this label was built
on the fact that
939
00:51:00,375 --> 00:51:01,792
Snoop Dogg was tight,
940
00:51:01,875 --> 00:51:05,410
Daz was tight, Nate Dogg was tight,
Kurupt was tight.
941
00:51:05,125 --> 00:51:06,709
Dre fell off and not here
no more,
942
00:51:06,792 --> 00:51:08,542
and it's hurting us a whole lot,
943
00:51:08,625 --> 00:51:10,625
but the push is that we've
got to keep everything going
944
00:51:10,709 --> 00:51:12,125
because that's what
it all started from,
945
00:51:12,208 --> 00:51:13,542
us having belief in ourselves
946
00:51:13,625 --> 00:51:15,792
and knowing that we could do
with or without anybody.
947
00:51:15,875 --> 00:51:17,709
So, just keeping that push alive
948
00:51:17,792 --> 00:51:19,625
and keeping the dream alive
on Death Row.
949
00:51:21,875 --> 00:51:23,709
Ain't no other
record company out there
950
00:51:23,792 --> 00:51:25,830
that sold as many records
as we did.
951
00:51:25,166 --> 00:51:27,375
We outsold Bad Boy, LaFace,
952
00:51:27,458 --> 00:51:29,125
every black record label
out there,
953
00:51:29,208 --> 00:51:31,166
we outsold them in one year.
954
00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:34,830
And I'm a convict,
and my homeboy just got off a murder case.
955
00:51:34,166 --> 00:51:36,410
So that tells you
that it's pure talent.
956
00:51:36,125 --> 00:51:38,417
No hype, we don't got no
all-American smiles.
957
00:51:38,500 --> 00:51:40,830
They don't even
wanna buy our records.
958
00:51:40,166 --> 00:51:42,333
But they gotta buy our records
'cause we represent the street.
959
00:51:43,458 --> 00:51:45,410
We were in Maui,
you know what I mean,
960
00:51:45,125 --> 00:51:48,125
and Pac had never been to Maui
or Hawaii or just a vacation.
961
00:51:50,410 --> 00:51:52,166
He get to talking about
faking his own death.
962
00:51:53,417 --> 00:51:55,166
No, no, no. Where he at?
963
00:52:04,125 --> 00:52:06,458
And Pac was more down
for doing, like,
964
00:52:10,542 --> 00:52:13,542
the last little videos and shit
965
00:52:13,625 --> 00:52:17,830
of him dying and all in white,
you know what I'm saying,
966
00:52:17,166 --> 00:52:20,500
with Redd Foxx and everybody
like that, right?
967
00:52:20,583 --> 00:52:23,208
Man, I've been struggling,
trying to get in here a long time.
968
00:52:23,291 --> 00:52:24,834
You're gonna have to
earn your way.
969
00:52:25,875 --> 00:52:27,830
Sure hope you can make it.
970
00:52:27,166 --> 00:52:28,375
I'm gonna try. Thanks a lot.
971
00:52:28,458 --> 00:52:29,583
We had this situation.
972
00:52:29,667 --> 00:52:31,875
Pac wouldn't even go
and do his shit
973
00:52:31,959 --> 00:52:33,667
if I didn't come and be there
on time for the video shoot.
974
00:52:33,750 --> 00:52:35,542
He wouldn't go on.
975
00:52:35,625 --> 00:52:37,500
He's cussing everybody out.
976
00:52:37,583 --> 00:52:39,792
With this particular video,
he was like,
977
00:52:39,875 --> 00:52:41,166
"Man, what's up, right?"
978
00:52:41,250 --> 00:52:42,500
But I felt like
979
00:52:44,834 --> 00:52:46,333
he was talking about his shit.
980
00:52:48,410 --> 00:52:49,792
Our dreams and our futures
981
00:52:49,875 --> 00:52:53,250
built together
that we planned on doing.
982
00:52:53,333 --> 00:52:56,333
So if you're talking about
not being here, losing your life
983
00:52:56,417 --> 00:52:58,166
in one of these
motherfucking videos,
984
00:52:58,250 --> 00:52:59,875
or you're dead and shit...
985
00:53:00,959 --> 00:53:04,667
I'm like, "Shit,
I won't be at that video.
986
00:53:04,750 --> 00:53:07,830
"Just like if something
really happened to you, nigga,
987
00:53:07,166 --> 00:53:08,834
"I ain't gonna be there
with motherfucking tears
988
00:53:08,917 --> 00:53:10,250
"in my motherfucking eyes.
989
00:53:10,333 --> 00:53:12,125
"I'm gonna be there
motherfucking, like, shit...
990
00:53:12,208 --> 00:53:14,208
"Still pushing for you."
991
00:53:14,291 --> 00:53:17,250
Please welcome
the former undisputed
992
00:53:17,333 --> 00:53:19,458
heavyweight champion
of the world.
993
00:53:19,542 --> 00:53:21,583
Introducing the one and only
994
00:53:21,667 --> 00:53:25,792
"Iron" Mike Tyson.
995
00:53:36,417 --> 00:53:38,500
And down goes
Bruce Seldon!
996
00:53:43,583 --> 00:53:45,125
Tyson with a left hook
997
00:53:45,208 --> 00:53:46,333
and Seldon is down on his...
998
00:54:56,250 --> 00:54:57,375
So, you know...
999
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,333
This my little brother.
1000
00:55:06,125 --> 00:55:07,542
He pushing that MOB.
1001
00:56:05,625 --> 00:56:08,500
I'm gonna you down there
and tell you step by step.
1002
00:56:08,583 --> 00:56:12,458
I'll show you exactly what
we started from
1003
00:56:13,250 --> 00:56:14,583
and where we ended up at
1004
00:56:15,375 --> 00:56:17,583
that Saturday night.
1005
00:56:17,667 --> 00:56:20,709
We're in this middle lane.
We've got, like, 20 cars.
1006
00:56:20,792 --> 00:56:22,792
As we're getting right up
to this point right here...
1007
00:58:14,542 --> 00:58:16,583
They wanted to search us
and shit.
1008
00:58:16,667 --> 00:58:18,542
So when the ambulance
finally came,
1009
00:58:18,625 --> 00:58:21,750
I'm like, "Hey, get him
out of the motherfucking car."
1010
00:58:21,834 --> 00:58:24,458
The police
were jamming me up, too.
1011
00:58:24,542 --> 00:58:26,542
So, they didn't know how to
take the seat belt off,
1012
00:58:26,625 --> 00:58:29,125
- because it was that new shit.
- Right.
1013
00:58:29,208 --> 00:58:30,667
So, I'm like, "Hold up, man."
1014
00:58:30,750 --> 00:58:34,625
I had to go in and show them
how to take the seat belt off.
1015
00:58:34,709 --> 00:58:36,792
Tupac was cool, laughing. He was
like, "Man, you could tell
1016
00:58:36,875 --> 00:58:38,458
"y'all are some broke
motherfuckers.
1017
00:58:38,542 --> 00:58:40,834
"Y'all don't know how to take
no expensive seat belts off."
1018
00:58:40,917 --> 00:58:42,000
He said, "If the motherfucker
was in a Honda,
1019
00:58:42,830 --> 00:58:43,709
"you'd have me
out of the car already."
1020
00:58:43,792 --> 00:58:45,709
He was laughing and shit,
you know what I'm saying?
1021
00:58:45,792 --> 00:58:47,625
We both
were going to the hospital.
1022
00:58:47,709 --> 00:58:49,709
We laughed and joked
the whole way.
1023
00:58:49,792 --> 00:58:53,834
He looked at me and was like,
"Man, Simon, sweaty-head.
1024
00:58:53,917 --> 00:58:55,792
"You need to be at
the hospital faster than me,
1025
00:58:55,875 --> 00:58:58,000
"you're bleeding
all out of your head and shit.
1026
00:58:58,830 --> 00:59:00,625
"How could you see with blood
all in your eyes?" Right?
1027
00:59:00,709 --> 00:59:01,709
So we start laughing.
1028
00:59:02,417 --> 00:59:05,542
On the television,
1029
00:59:05,625 --> 00:59:08,625
they never said
that my son was shot.
1030
00:59:08,709 --> 00:59:10,583
They only said Tupac.
1031
00:59:10,667 --> 00:59:12,166
And when Suge got shot,
1032
00:59:13,333 --> 00:59:15,709
he was trying to protect Tupac.
1033
00:59:15,792 --> 00:59:16,917
My daughter
called me that night.
1034
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,750
I was in Compton, California.
I was at home.
1035
00:59:20,333 --> 00:59:22,792
When she called me, she said,
"Suge just got shot."
1036
00:59:23,291 --> 00:59:24,959
And Tupac.
1037
00:59:25,410 --> 00:59:26,917
I jumped straight up out of the bed,
started putting on my clothes.
1038
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,917
I was going to Las Vegas,
right then.
1039
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,667
They called me back and told me
that he was gonna be all right,
1040
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:33,250
but Tupac had a problem.
1041
00:59:44,333 --> 00:59:46,125
Rap artist Tupac Shakur
1042
00:59:46,208 --> 00:59:49,667
has succumbed to bullet wounds
and died at the age of 25.
1043
00:59:49,750 --> 00:59:51,917
Doctors at University Medical Center in Las Vegas
1044
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,250
say Shakur's heart
and respiratory system
1045
00:59:54,333 --> 00:59:55,959
simply were overtaxed,
1046
00:59:56,410 --> 00:59:57,959
by the devastating
gunshot wounds
1047
00:59:58,410 --> 00:59:59,709
and now Shakur has died
1048
00:59:59,792 --> 01:00:02,375
before detectives could
even try to speak to him.
1049
01:00:03,792 --> 01:00:06,166
A lot of people
said that, uh,
1050
01:00:06,250 --> 01:00:08,625
or think that you had something
to do with Tupac's murder.
1051
01:00:27,542 --> 01:00:33,250
I'm the only person that lost
when Pac moved on.
1052
01:00:34,917 --> 01:00:37,834
Not only did I lose the idea
1053
01:00:38,792 --> 01:00:40,875
of a friend you can have
1054
01:00:40,959 --> 01:00:43,125
or a little brother
you can have.
1055
01:00:43,208 --> 01:00:46,000
Pac was one of those
incredible artists that,
1056
01:00:46,830 --> 01:00:49,875
I know for a fact, he's worth
way more alive than dead.
1057
01:01:29,458 --> 01:01:32,166
Where and why
do you think people say
1058
01:01:32,250 --> 01:01:34,834
Pac wanted to leave Death Row
and that's why he was killed?
1059
01:01:34,917 --> 01:01:37,250
Where do you think
those rumors came from?
1060
01:01:37,333 --> 01:01:39,959
Why?
Because of the motherfuckers who feared Pac the most.
1061
01:01:40,917 --> 01:01:43,250
Probably just competition.
1062
01:01:43,333 --> 01:01:46,875
When Jimmy Iovine heard or thought that Pac was dead, right,
1063
01:01:47,834 --> 01:01:49,125
the first thing he said was,
1064
01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:54,583
He said, "You're lucky as fuck.
You done hit the jackpot."
1065
01:02:29,709 --> 01:02:32,208
There were some shootings
approximately 12 in nature,
1066
01:02:32,291 --> 01:02:36,333
that we believe may possibly
have been retaliatory
1067
01:02:36,417 --> 01:02:37,959
for the incident
that occurred in Las Vegas.
1068
01:02:43,583 --> 01:02:45,709
Some of the motivation
1069
01:02:45,792 --> 01:02:48,291
for some of the shootings
in the city of Compton
1070
01:02:48,375 --> 01:02:50,410
may have been retaliation
1071
01:02:50,125 --> 01:02:52,875
for events that occurred
in the city of Las Vegas
1072
01:02:52,959 --> 01:02:56,125
on September 7, 1996.
1073
01:02:56,208 --> 01:03:00,750
Las Vegas police department
has not announced any suspect
1074
01:03:00,834 --> 01:03:03,875
in the Tupac Shakur shooting.
1075
01:03:41,166 --> 01:03:42,834
For the
second time in six months,
1076
01:03:42,917 --> 01:03:46,410
real-life violence has taken
the life of a rap star.
1077
01:03:46,125 --> 01:03:48,834
Twenty-four-year-old
Notorious B.I.G.,
1078
01:03:48,917 --> 01:03:51,125
gunned down
in a drive-by shooting
1079
01:03:51,208 --> 01:03:54,583
outside a music industry party
in LA, early Sunday.
1080
01:03:54,667 --> 01:03:56,417
Speculation
that it was a result
1081
01:03:56,500 --> 01:04:00,458
of a longstanding East Coast/West Coast feud among rap artists.
1082
01:04:00,542 --> 01:04:03,125
Biggie's death comes almost
exactly six months
1083
01:04:03,208 --> 01:04:05,792
after the drive-by slaying
of his arch-rival
1084
01:04:05,875 --> 01:04:09,410
even more popular rap star,
Tupac Shakur, in Las Vegas.
1085
01:04:12,830 --> 01:04:15,000
Right. Now some
people say that you had
1086
01:04:15,830 --> 01:04:17,125
Biggie murdered
because of Pac's murder.
1087
01:05:19,834 --> 01:05:22,000
When it's something about me
they push the envelope.
1088
01:05:23,709 --> 01:05:26,333
Try to destroy me.
1089
01:05:26,417 --> 01:05:28,625
But it turns on the next man who is really guilty of something.
1090
01:05:29,333 --> 01:05:31,166
According to the facts,
1091
01:05:31,250 --> 01:05:33,000
there's not one thing
being said.
1092
01:05:34,458 --> 01:05:37,410
From that day on,
it changed a lot of shit.
1093
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:40,750
It changed the fact that
they made it their mission,
1094
01:05:40,834 --> 01:05:42,875
basically, to try to destroy us.
1095
01:05:42,959 --> 01:05:44,583
Now, Los Angeles prosecutors
1096
01:05:44,667 --> 01:05:46,709
claim Suge Knight
was also in the group
1097
01:05:46,792 --> 01:05:48,750
kicking a man on the ground.
1098
01:05:48,834 --> 01:05:50,750
Did Knight take part
in this fight?
1099
01:05:50,834 --> 01:05:52,667
If so, it would be a violation
1100
01:05:52,750 --> 01:05:54,959
of the Death Row Record
executive's probation
1101
01:05:55,410 --> 01:05:57,583
on a 1995 assault charge.
1102
01:05:57,667 --> 01:05:59,792
Did you punch anybody
during that altercation?
1103
01:06:00,291 --> 01:06:01,875
No, sir.
1104
01:06:01,959 --> 01:06:04,458
Did you kick anybody
during that altercation?
1105
01:06:04,542 --> 01:06:06,125
Absolutely not.
1106
01:06:06,208 --> 01:06:07,834
I noticed the judge,
1107
01:06:07,917 --> 01:06:12,208
like, he wasn't interested in what everybody was saying,
you know?
1108
01:06:12,291 --> 01:06:14,208
- And, uh...
- He had already made up his mind.
1109
01:06:14,291 --> 01:06:17,709
When I first went to court,
I had five lawyers.
1110
01:06:17,792 --> 01:06:20,625
And one of those lawyers has been the mayor for Las Vegas forever.
1111
01:06:20,709 --> 01:06:23,667
I gave them
five million dollars.
1112
01:06:24,959 --> 01:06:27,917
So I had five lawyers,
I spent five million dollars,
1113
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,291
and then the judge looked at me
1114
01:06:29,375 --> 01:06:31,750
and gave me
nine motherfucking years.
1115
01:06:31,834 --> 01:06:32,959
Because you didn't
show remorse.
1116
01:06:33,410 --> 01:06:34,417
I didn't show remorse.
1117
01:06:34,500 --> 01:06:39,291
He told me he watched the tape
92, 98 times.
1118
01:06:39,375 --> 01:06:40,875
Still couldn't see that
I did nothing,
1119
01:06:40,959 --> 01:06:42,667
but I didn't show no remorse.
1120
01:06:42,750 --> 01:06:44,750
He wanted me
to shed a tear or something,
1121
01:06:44,834 --> 01:06:47,917
but I just didn't have it
in me, or I didn't mean it.
1122
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,000
What happened today
is a reaction
1123
01:06:50,830 --> 01:06:53,291
to the overall general animosity
1124
01:06:53,375 --> 01:06:56,291
that appears to exist in the
law-enforcement community
1125
01:06:56,375 --> 01:06:58,709
with regard to
Mr. Knight's record label,
1126
01:06:58,792 --> 01:07:00,458
Death Row Records,
1127
01:07:00,542 --> 01:07:03,250
and with regard to
a variety of his artists.
1128
01:07:03,333 --> 01:07:05,125
The judge asked Suge,
1129
01:07:05,208 --> 01:07:07,208
"Do you have anything to say,
Mr. Knight?"
1130
01:07:07,917 --> 01:07:09,250
Suge said, "No.
1131
01:07:09,333 --> 01:07:11,291
"I walked in here like a man
1132
01:07:11,375 --> 01:07:13,417
"and I'm gonna
walk out like a man."
1133
01:07:13,500 --> 01:07:15,250
If I could do it all over again,
1134
01:07:15,333 --> 01:07:17,410
I would've walked in
the courtroom,
1135
01:07:17,625 --> 01:07:19,000
with no lawyer,
1136
01:07:19,830 --> 01:07:21,166
no public defender,
none of that.
1137
01:07:21,250 --> 01:07:22,458
Looked at him and said,
"Okay, Your Honor,
1138
01:07:22,542 --> 01:07:25,125
"I know you're gonna
fuck over me,
1139
01:07:25,208 --> 01:07:26,709
"but let me see
how far I can piss?"
1140
01:07:26,792 --> 01:07:28,830
And I would have
whipped my shit out
1141
01:07:28,166 --> 01:07:29,542
- and tried to pee on him.
- Right.
1142
01:07:29,625 --> 01:07:31,291
Only thing different is,
1143
01:07:31,375 --> 01:07:33,500
I'd have had five million dollars in my pocket
1144
01:07:33,583 --> 01:07:35,500
instead of paying the lawyers
that made me get nine years.
1145
01:07:37,208 --> 01:07:39,834
I started off with dreams.
1146
01:07:39,917 --> 01:07:42,583
You come from that ghetto,
that's all you got, is a dream.
1147
01:07:42,667 --> 01:07:44,959
But you know,
if you believe enough,
1148
01:07:45,410 --> 01:07:46,834
that dream becomes your reality.
1149
01:07:48,125 --> 01:07:49,458
But if you dream too much,
1150
01:07:51,208 --> 01:07:55,625
that dream
becomes your nightmare.
1151
01:07:55,709 --> 01:07:57,417
And if you take advantage
of the power,
1152
01:07:58,458 --> 01:07:59,750
God will take it from you.
1153
01:08:11,830 --> 01:08:13,830
I was so glad to get in that motherfucker and get me some rest.
1154
01:08:13,667 --> 01:08:15,410
It was a good thing.
1155
01:08:15,125 --> 01:08:16,667
You know, before I went
to the penitentiary,
1156
01:08:17,667 --> 01:08:19,208
I never slept in a bed alone.
1157
01:08:19,291 --> 01:08:21,917
If it weren't one bitch,
it was five bitches.
1158
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,458
Have you ever slept in a bed with seven,
eight bitches at once? Just you?
1159
01:08:24,542 --> 01:08:26,208
How could you fucking sleep?
1160
01:08:26,291 --> 01:08:27,792
Every time you doze off,
1161
01:08:27,875 --> 01:08:30,000
there's somebody sucking on your toes,
licking on your balls
1162
01:08:30,830 --> 01:08:31,875
and trying to wake you
the fuck up.
1163
01:08:31,959 --> 01:08:33,750
So, it was good for some rest,
1164
01:08:33,834 --> 01:08:35,792
but prison gave me
the opportunity
1165
01:08:35,875 --> 01:08:37,291
to see shit that
you normally don't see.
1166
01:08:42,875 --> 01:08:45,208
I had the right
to live like a beast.
1167
01:08:45,291 --> 01:08:47,830
When you open those
motherfucking doors
1168
01:08:47,166 --> 01:08:49,208
and those gates in that motherfucking jail,
when I hit that yard,
1169
01:08:49,291 --> 01:08:51,830
it's up to me if I want to
slap the shit
1170
01:08:51,166 --> 01:08:52,875
out of a motherfucker,
kick him up his ass,
1171
01:08:52,959 --> 01:08:54,417
stab him or have him stabbed.
1172
01:08:57,375 --> 01:08:59,792
You take me from everything
that I've built.
1173
01:08:59,875 --> 01:09:01,917
You take me from everything
you think I care about.
1174
01:09:02,875 --> 01:09:04,750
You put me in a cell.
1175
01:09:04,834 --> 01:09:06,542
There's no housekeeping
in that motherfucker.
1176
01:09:06,625 --> 01:09:08,166
I had to get down
and keep scrubbing
1177
01:09:08,250 --> 01:09:09,667
because I ain't gonna have
1178
01:09:09,750 --> 01:09:12,125
no dirty-ass
motherfucking cell.
1179
01:09:12,208 --> 01:09:14,542
So prison really taught me
how to be self-sufficient.
1180
01:09:15,875 --> 01:09:18,500
Prison, it really helped me
in a motherfucking way.
1181
01:09:42,458 --> 01:09:44,667
I stood up for these niggas
1182
01:09:44,750 --> 01:09:46,667
and these niggas
didn't appreciate it.
1183
01:09:46,750 --> 01:09:48,792
So, when I got locked up,
these niggas cheered.
1184
01:09:49,959 --> 01:09:51,458
When you say
"these niggas," who...
1185
01:09:51,542 --> 01:09:53,291
Black motherfuckers
in the industry.
1186
01:09:53,375 --> 01:09:54,917
They turned around,
1187
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,417
they were happy to see me
go to prison,
1188
01:09:56,500 --> 01:09:57,834
but at the same time,
1189
01:09:57,917 --> 01:09:59,250
I'm going
and telling these dudes,
1190
01:09:59,333 --> 01:10:01,709
"Look, I'm not gonna
let you go in,
1191
01:10:01,792 --> 01:10:03,792
"sell 10 million records
or two million records,
1192
01:10:03,875 --> 01:10:05,625
"or even 100,000 records
1193
01:10:05,709 --> 01:10:07,458
"out of the back door
and don't pay them."
1194
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,458
I turned around
and tackled the buses.
1195
01:10:19,542 --> 01:10:20,917
I didn't get thrown
under the bus.
1196
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,166
I ran into the bus for these
motherfucking house niggas.
1197
01:10:24,250 --> 01:10:27,458
Shit, Jimmy Iovine, looked back at me and said,
"We'll take care of you."
1198
01:10:27,542 --> 01:10:29,667
Fuck, taking care of me.
I'll take care of myself.
1199
01:10:33,333 --> 01:10:36,959
If a man lets another man
take care of him,
1200
01:10:37,410 --> 01:10:39,250
he shouldn't be offended
or get upset
1201
01:10:39,333 --> 01:10:41,417
when that man
treats him like a bitch.
1202
01:10:43,542 --> 01:10:45,792
If you allow another man
to take care of you,
1203
01:10:47,583 --> 01:10:49,830
how could you get mad
when they tell you,
1204
01:10:49,166 --> 01:10:52,410
"Shut your punk-ass up
and go get me a drink"?
1205
01:10:52,125 --> 01:10:53,500
Because you're putting
yourself in that position
1206
01:10:53,583 --> 01:10:55,410
by allowing another man
to feed you.
1207
01:10:56,625 --> 01:10:58,917
I didn't allow them to feed me.
1208
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,709
I let them know,
I'll handle my business,
1209
01:11:00,792 --> 01:11:02,458
do what I need to do
to feed myself.
1210
01:11:05,875 --> 01:11:07,917
Death Row
Records CEO, Suge Knight,
1211
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:09,792
celebrating
his newfound freedom
1212
01:11:09,875 --> 01:11:13,667
after serving five years
for a probation violation.
1213
01:11:13,750 --> 01:11:15,667
Damn! You know,
still ain't nothing changed!
1214
01:11:15,750 --> 01:11:17,333
Death Row is back.
Back on the streets,
1215
01:11:17,417 --> 01:11:19,125
back in those clubs.
1216
01:11:19,208 --> 01:11:22,333
Back in those ghettos, back in your car.
Back in the system, you know?
1217
01:11:27,875 --> 01:11:30,208
Rap music
impresario Suge Knight,
1218
01:11:30,291 --> 01:11:31,750
is in
a California jail tonight.
1219
01:11:31,834 --> 01:11:33,375
He is on parole
1220
01:11:33,458 --> 01:11:35,208
and could be
sent back to prison.
1221
01:11:35,291 --> 01:11:37,830
Knight claims
a long list of arrests,
1222
01:11:37,166 --> 01:11:39,625
parole violations
and prison sentences.
1223
01:11:39,709 --> 01:11:40,959
Police are
looking for a gunman
1224
01:11:41,410 --> 01:11:43,709
who allegedly shot rap mogul,
Marion Suge Knight,
1225
01:11:43,792 --> 01:11:45,750
during a party in Miami beach,
early this morning.
1226
01:11:45,834 --> 01:11:47,667
Police say
they have no suspects
1227
01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:49,792
in the weekend shooting
of rap mogul, Suge Knight.
1228
01:11:49,875 --> 01:11:51,667
Miami police
say they have complained
1229
01:11:51,750 --> 01:11:54,750
about a lack of cooperation
from witnesses in the shooting.
1230
01:11:54,834 --> 01:11:57,250
Before I went to the
penitentiary and went to court
1231
01:11:57,333 --> 01:12:00,166
my own momma didn't even know
how much money I had.
1232
01:12:00,250 --> 01:12:03,417
But then, when I went to prison,
I got exposed.
1233
01:12:03,500 --> 01:12:06,250
So, that made people
want to steal more.
1234
01:12:06,333 --> 01:12:07,542
That made people want to
get you more.
1235
01:12:10,875 --> 01:12:13,410
Death Row Records founder,
Marion Suge Knight,
1236
01:12:13,125 --> 01:12:15,625
has been ordered by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge
1237
01:12:15,709 --> 01:12:18,583
to pay $107 million
in damages
1238
01:12:18,667 --> 01:12:22,410
to a woman who says
she helped create Death Row.
1239
01:12:22,125 --> 01:12:23,625
According to
the Los Angeles Times,
1240
01:12:23,709 --> 01:12:26,667
Lydia Harris filed a lawsuit
against Suge three years ago,
1241
01:12:26,750 --> 01:12:29,410
seeking record sale profits
and royalties
1242
01:12:29,125 --> 01:12:32,125
she claims she was entitled to,
but was never paid.
1243
01:12:32,208 --> 01:12:33,333
According to the suit,
1244
01:12:33,417 --> 01:12:35,250
Knight refused to honor
a partnership deal
1245
01:12:35,333 --> 01:12:37,291
he had signed with Harris's
husband, Michael,
1246
01:12:37,375 --> 01:12:39,830
who was in prison
on attempted murder
1247
01:12:39,166 --> 01:12:40,625
and drug-related convictions
1248
01:12:40,709 --> 01:12:42,417
during the Row's early days.
1249
01:12:42,500 --> 01:12:44,625
Once Death Row
started turning a profit,
1250
01:12:44,709 --> 01:12:47,208
Lydia Harris says Suge
forced her out of the label.
1251
01:12:47,291 --> 01:12:49,500
And later signed a lucrative
deal with Interscope
1252
01:12:49,583 --> 01:12:51,667
giving that label marketing
and distribution rights
1253
01:12:51,750 --> 01:12:53,750
to all Death Row releases.
1254
01:12:53,834 --> 01:12:56,250
The suit also accuses Knight
of pressuring Michael Harris
1255
01:12:56,333 --> 01:12:59,000
into signing away
his legal claims to Death Row
1256
01:12:59,830 --> 01:13:00,500
in an arrangement
the lawsuit says
1257
01:13:00,583 --> 01:13:03,583
cost Knight and Interscope
just $300,000.
1258
01:13:22,959 --> 01:13:25,583
Jimmy Iovine, Interscope,
Universal,
1259
01:13:39,792 --> 01:13:41,750
I'm the only
black motherfucker
1260
01:13:41,834 --> 01:13:44,750
that owns his masters,
that's why they attack me.
1261
01:13:44,834 --> 01:13:48,410
Only reason why I'm
the only one in this business
1262
01:13:48,125 --> 01:13:49,959
that never said I sold dope.
1263
01:13:50,410 --> 01:13:51,500
And they put
the dope thing on me
1264
01:13:51,583 --> 01:13:52,750
and tried to take
my company down
1265
01:13:52,834 --> 01:13:55,792
because they said
I come from bad money.
1266
01:13:55,875 --> 01:13:58,410
But the motherfuckers
who came from bad money,
1267
01:13:58,125 --> 01:14:00,830
they didn't do nothing about it,
1268
01:14:00,166 --> 01:14:01,458
because they don't own it.
1269
01:14:05,583 --> 01:14:07,792
At approximately 5:00 a.m.,
1270
01:14:07,875 --> 01:14:10,709
one hundred and seventy-five Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies,
1271
01:14:10,792 --> 01:14:13,291
served a total
of 15 search warrants
1272
01:14:13,375 --> 01:14:15,917
in this location here
in Los Angeles,
1273
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:16,709
two in North Hollywood...
1274
01:14:17,542 --> 01:14:18,500
...and one in Lakewood.
1275
01:14:20,208 --> 01:14:21,291
They used to raid my office,
1276
01:14:21,375 --> 01:14:23,250
where I'm not a suspect.
1277
01:14:23,333 --> 01:14:25,250
They say I did nothing wrong,
1278
01:14:25,333 --> 01:14:27,667
but there would be 165 police.
1279
01:14:29,250 --> 01:14:31,125
Helicopters, motherfuckers
jumping off the...
1280
01:14:31,208 --> 01:14:33,125
Coming off the helicopters
like SWAT.
1281
01:14:33,208 --> 01:14:34,667
Broke every
motherfucking window.
1282
01:14:35,583 --> 01:14:37,166
Broke every motherfucking door.
1283
01:14:39,417 --> 01:14:40,792
Mr. Knight is in no way
1284
01:14:40,875 --> 01:14:43,166
wanted by the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department.
1285
01:14:43,250 --> 01:14:46,417
He's not currently a suspect
for our department.
1286
01:14:46,500 --> 01:14:48,959
We are simply serving
some of these warrants
1287
01:14:49,410 --> 01:14:51,542
seeking evidence to crimes
that have been committed
1288
01:14:51,625 --> 01:14:52,834
in Los Angeles County.
1289
01:14:52,917 --> 01:14:54,750
I wasn't even living
in my Vegas house.
1290
01:14:54,834 --> 01:14:56,500
And they were out there
talking about,
1291
01:14:56,583 --> 01:14:58,500
"Fuck him. Look at this shit.
1292
01:14:59,208 --> 01:15:00,542
"All this is blood-money.
1293
01:15:00,625 --> 01:15:01,667
"Nothing but fucking
blood money."
1294
01:15:04,410 --> 01:15:05,625
Like I said, you know,
1295
01:15:06,750 --> 01:15:08,583
if they can't take
the money from you,
1296
01:15:08,667 --> 01:15:10,410
they take you from the money.
1297
01:15:17,500 --> 01:15:19,458
Be happy.
1298
01:15:19,542 --> 01:15:22,750
I'd rather him to be happy,
if he can't buy me nothing.
1299
01:15:24,250 --> 01:15:25,542
As long as he's happy.
1300
01:15:27,417 --> 01:15:30,250
I love him to death, man.
I'm really proud of him, you know.
1301
01:15:30,333 --> 01:15:31,583
The success he's made.
1302
01:15:33,333 --> 01:15:35,542
And if I had to do it
all over again,
1303
01:15:36,875 --> 01:15:39,875
I'd just have him,
you know, just like that.
1304
01:15:39,959 --> 01:15:41,625
We are
following developing news
1305
01:15:41,709 --> 01:15:43,542
closer to home
in West Hollywood,
1306
01:15:43,625 --> 01:15:45,917
where a night of fun
turned violent.
1307
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,500
Several people have been shot
1308
01:15:47,583 --> 01:15:50,250
at a party hosted
by singer Chris Brown.
1309
01:15:50,333 --> 01:15:52,500
Rap mogul, Suge Knight,
was inside the club.
1310
01:15:52,583 --> 01:15:56,208
Witnesses say they saw him stumbling out after he was shot
1311
01:15:56,291 --> 01:16:00,410
early this morning
at around 1:30, this morning.
1312
01:16:00,125 --> 01:16:02,830
Sure does
look like Suge, bro.
1313
01:16:02,166 --> 01:16:03,458
You'll possibly be arrested
1314
01:16:03,542 --> 01:16:04,875
for entering this crime scene.
1315
01:16:04,959 --> 01:16:06,458
I'll tell you the truth,
1316
01:16:06,542 --> 01:16:08,125
I ain't never
thought about death.
1317
01:16:09,125 --> 01:16:12,458
I felt like, "Shit, God got me."
1318
01:16:12,542 --> 01:16:14,625
I'll be feeling like,
"Shit, what's that?"
1319
01:16:14,709 --> 01:16:16,410
You know what I mean?
1320
01:16:16,125 --> 01:16:19,834
I've been getting shot at
since high school.
1321
01:16:19,917 --> 01:16:24,410
I've been
in situations where, shit...
1322
01:16:24,125 --> 01:16:25,959
I wasn't supposed to make it,
or so they say.
1323
01:16:27,166 --> 01:16:28,375
But I'm still here.
1324
01:16:29,417 --> 01:16:30,875
I don't wear no vest.
1325
01:16:31,667 --> 01:16:34,000
You don't see me paranoid.
1326
01:16:34,830 --> 01:16:36,792
I still run around eating off the land,
you know what I mean?
1327
01:16:36,875 --> 01:16:38,291
I still get up and go hunt.
1328
01:16:39,542 --> 01:16:42,410
So I ain't thought about death.
1329
01:16:50,834 --> 01:16:54,458
You know,
if I could go all the way back and I rewrite it,
1330
01:16:54,542 --> 01:16:55,750
the way things should be,
1331
01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:58,291
and how it should have ended up,
1332
01:16:59,291 --> 01:17:00,792
I think, uh...
1333
01:17:07,500 --> 01:17:10,834
As men coming from the ghetto,
we all failed.
1334
01:17:12,542 --> 01:17:13,917
The reason
why I say we all failed
1335
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,834
is because
of the simple fact that...
1336
01:17:18,959 --> 01:17:22,333
We got a black president.
President Obama.
1337
01:17:22,417 --> 01:17:24,375
President of the whole
United States.
1338
01:17:25,917 --> 01:17:28,375
And we have black presidents
1339
01:17:28,458 --> 01:17:30,875
of production companies
and record labels
1340
01:17:30,959 --> 01:17:33,542
that can't figure out how to
get along with each other.
1341
01:17:33,625 --> 01:17:35,792
So we constantly
destroy each other.
1342
01:17:35,875 --> 01:17:39,208
I think we all could have had,
like, a situation
1343
01:17:43,458 --> 01:17:44,959
where we were friends
1344
01:17:45,410 --> 01:17:46,792
to the point where you had
1345
01:17:46,875 --> 01:17:49,542
enough knowledge
to make things grow.
1346
01:17:49,625 --> 01:17:51,542
Instead of people worrying about
1347
01:17:51,625 --> 01:17:54,000
who killed Biggie
or who killed Pac,
1348
01:17:54,830 --> 01:17:56,125
it would be more like,
1349
01:17:56,208 --> 01:17:57,750
"Look at Biggie,"
and, "Look at Pac."
1350
01:17:58,583 --> 01:18:01,830
I got shot in Miami. Pssh.
1351
01:18:01,875 --> 01:18:03,375
But I'm still in Miami.
1352
01:18:04,834 --> 01:18:06,750
You see me happy
as a motherfucker,
1353
01:18:06,834 --> 01:18:08,583
enjoying this shit.
1354
01:18:08,667 --> 01:18:10,959
You know,
I take out time to say,
1355
01:18:11,410 --> 01:18:14,583
"Damn, look at the view.
Look at the water." You know?
1356
01:18:14,667 --> 01:18:16,208
It's not about
putting nobody down.
1357
01:18:18,250 --> 01:18:19,750
I know one thing.
1358
01:18:21,333 --> 01:18:22,834
The amount of records I sold
1359
01:18:22,917 --> 01:18:24,750
and the amount
of money I made...
1360
01:18:27,125 --> 01:18:28,709
Ain't never happening again.
1361
01:18:29,458 --> 01:18:31,709
But, I wish it would
1362
01:18:33,830 --> 01:18:34,250
at the same time.
1363
01:18:36,500 --> 01:18:38,208
I had like, every court hit me.
1364
01:18:38,291 --> 01:18:41,959
I had like, every authority hit me.
I had everybody...
1365
01:18:42,410 --> 01:18:44,458
Anything negative to be
said about Suge Knight
1366
01:18:44,542 --> 01:18:45,917
has been said already.
1367
01:18:48,917 --> 01:18:52,792
Some of the most incredible people in the music business...
1368
01:18:52,875 --> 01:18:57,667
People that you had the blessing
1369
01:18:57,750 --> 01:18:59,959
to help their life
and help their career...
1370
01:19:00,410 --> 01:19:01,709
I feel like if I didn't give
1371
01:19:01,792 --> 01:19:04,834
a lot of motherfuckers
record deals,
1372
01:19:04,917 --> 01:19:07,410
they'd have been dead
a long time ago, or in prison.
1373
01:19:07,125 --> 01:19:08,834
I gave them jobs.
1374
01:19:08,917 --> 01:19:12,542
I turned their dreams
into reality.
1375
01:19:12,625 --> 01:19:14,583
I took from...
1376
01:19:14,667 --> 01:19:17,410
If it was Snoop,
supposed to be in prison for the rest of his life,
1377
01:19:17,125 --> 01:19:19,500
I made sure he didn't go.
1378
01:19:19,583 --> 01:19:21,542
If it was Pac having
a bad time in prison,
1379
01:19:21,625 --> 01:19:24,166
when nobody else was there,
I made sure I stepped up.
1380
01:19:24,250 --> 01:19:25,959
You see a person doing
a Tupac documentary,
1381
01:19:26,410 --> 01:19:28,000
and they'll be like,
1382
01:19:28,830 --> 01:19:29,583
"When Pac got with
Suge Knight,
1383
01:19:29,667 --> 01:19:31,709
"we felt he sold his soul
to the devil, right?"
1384
01:19:33,667 --> 01:19:35,291
So I'll be saying to myself,
"Damn.
1385
01:19:37,250 --> 01:19:39,291
"They want motherfuckers to
really believe in God so much,
1386
01:19:39,375 --> 01:19:41,000
"they wanna paint me
to be the devil."
1387
01:19:41,830 --> 01:19:43,125
So before you judge,
1388
01:19:43,208 --> 01:19:46,500
before you say something
that you don't know about,
1389
01:19:46,583 --> 01:19:48,542
just take time to think.
1390
01:19:48,625 --> 01:19:50,709
Because I ain't
the average nigga.
1391
01:19:50,792 --> 01:19:53,667
When you're picking up your
favorite daughter from school,
1392
01:19:53,750 --> 01:19:56,125
I'm picking up my daughter
from school, too.
1393
01:19:56,208 --> 01:19:58,458
And they go to the same school.
1394
01:19:58,542 --> 01:20:00,834
Our sons might play
on the same football team.
1395
01:20:02,830 --> 01:20:05,834
So before you decide
to judge me, think.
1396
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,291
I might be your neighbor.
1397
01:20:09,375 --> 01:20:11,166
Some of you motherfuckers,
I might be your landlord,
1398
01:20:11,250 --> 01:20:12,500
you just don't know it.
1399
01:20:13,667 --> 01:20:16,000
So, I know your moves,
1400
01:20:16,667 --> 01:20:18,000
understand mine.
1401
01:20:22,166 --> 01:20:23,542
Breaking news out of LA.
1402
01:20:23,625 --> 01:20:25,875
A music industry mogul
under arrest
1403
01:20:25,959 --> 01:20:27,166
after a deadly hit-and-run.
1404
01:20:27,250 --> 01:20:29,208
Rap mogul, Suge Knight,
has been arrested.
1405
01:20:29,291 --> 01:20:32,250
Not just detained. Arrested.
Now accused of murder.
1406
01:20:32,333 --> 01:20:36,750
The arrest follows a deadly crash yesterday in Compton.
1407
01:20:36,834 --> 01:20:39,375
Is Marion Hugh Knight your true name, sir?
- Yes, sir, Your Honor.
1408
01:20:39,458 --> 01:20:43,250
You're charged in
Information TAA 136401,
1409
01:20:43,333 --> 01:20:45,542
Count one, murder count.
Two, attempted murder count,
1410
01:20:45,625 --> 01:20:47,125
three, felony hit-and-run,
1411
01:20:47,208 --> 01:20:49,125
various enhancements
are alleged.
1412
01:20:49,208 --> 01:20:51,000
At this time, it's best
you await further reading
1413
01:20:51,830 --> 01:20:52,792
- regarding your rights.
- Yes, sir.
1414
01:20:52,875 --> 01:20:54,834
To all charges, sir, how do you plead?
- Not guilty, Your Honor.
1415
01:20:54,917 --> 01:20:57,792
- You deny all the enhancements?
- Yes, sir, Your Honor.
1416
01:20:57,875 --> 01:21:01,166
The focus is definitely
the victim, which is my father.
1417
01:21:01,250 --> 01:21:03,208
And, uh,
we just want justice for him.
1418
01:21:03,291 --> 01:21:04,792
And we want peace
as the trial moves forward.
1419
01:21:06,667 --> 01:21:09,500
A multi-millionaire rap mogul
to inmate, Suge Knight,
1420
01:21:09,583 --> 01:21:12,959
got a surprise plea deal today
to avoid being tried for murder.
1421
01:21:13,410 --> 01:21:15,917
Mr. Knight, is this what you want to do?
- Yes.
1422
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,959
A "no contest" plea is
the same as a guilty plea.
1423
01:21:19,410 --> 01:21:20,917
- There is no difference. You understand that?
- Yes.
1424
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,500
Very well.
1425
01:21:22,583 --> 01:21:24,917
All right,
I'll hear from the people.
1426
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:29,000
Your actions after you callously
murdered my dad in cold blood
1427
01:21:29,830 --> 01:21:31,166
were calculating and deplorable
1428
01:21:31,250 --> 01:21:34,166
and reflective of a lack of
moral character
1429
01:21:34,250 --> 01:21:37,125
and no respect for human lives.
1430
01:21:37,208 --> 01:21:40,625
Those of a low-life thug,
career-minded criminal.
1431
01:21:40,709 --> 01:21:43,875
Three-striker was the representation of being a murderer.
1432
01:21:43,959 --> 01:21:46,458
A violation of penal code,
section 192.
1433
01:21:47,750 --> 01:21:49,959
Submission A,
voluntary manslaughter
1434
01:21:50,410 --> 01:21:53,375
with a strike prior of which
can be found true.
1435
01:21:53,458 --> 01:21:55,917
Defendant sentenced to state prison for the high term.
1436
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,830
High term of 11 years must be doubled under the strike law.
1437
01:22:00,166 --> 01:22:03,458
Defendant'll serve a term in state prison of 22 years.
1438
01:22:03,542 --> 01:22:07,410
Pursuit of penal section 667,
section A, section 1,
1439
01:22:07,125 --> 01:22:09,291
a prior conviction
the felon has admitted,
1440
01:22:09,375 --> 01:22:11,417
is levied an additional
five years in state prison,
1441
01:22:11,500 --> 01:22:15,410
for a total
on State term of 28 years.
1442
01:22:15,875 --> 01:22:18,834
At this time, this case is done.
1443
01:22:18,917 --> 01:22:20,583
If there's nothing further,
that'll be it.
1444
01:22:20,667 --> 01:22:21,792
Thank you, Your Honor.
1445
