(man) Suge lost everything.
Everybody knew.
It's done, it's over.
(man) Step aside, ladies.
(man) That crowd ain't behind you no more.
(siren blaring)
(man) Things got worse.
(man) For all charges, sir, how do you plead?
Not guilty, Your Honor.
(woman) He's not just fighting this case.
He's fighting 30 years of his public reputation.
(man) On March 9, 1997,
Biggie Smalls,
the Notorious B.I.G., was murdered.
Nobody was being brought to justice for these cases.
(gunshots firing)
(woman) Controversial rapper and actor Tupac Shakur has died.
(man) I said, "What happened?
Who shot you?"
And he looked right in my eyes and he said, "Fuck you."
(man) This is what all this shit is about.
Tupac is dead.
We gotta kill Biggie.
(man on phone) 9-1-1 emergency, what are you reporting?
(man on phone) Yeah, we need an ambulance on Fairfax and Wilshire.
The truth will come out.
(man) It took time, a lot of effort and manpower,
but in the end, we got what we wanted.
I'm very confident the murder of Biggie Smalls
was commissioned by Suge Knight.
And the last living eyewitness to Tupac's murder
is telling his story.
โชโช
(electrical crackling)
โชโช
(man) By 2005, Suge Knight's celebrity
was a shell of its former self.
It suddenly became not cool anymore to be Suge Knight.
Bad record deals, not paying his artists,
gangster stuff that he did.
(Jake) It all just came home to roost.
All of the bad karma came to find him.
On top of losing everything,
Suge is still connected to
the Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls murders,
which never have been solved.
(police radio chatter)
(woman) Details of this case play out like a Hollywood movie.
Rapper Tupac Shakur is gunned down in September of 1996.
Six months later, rapper Notorious B.I.G.
is shot to death in Los Angeles.
(man) At "Vibe," we spent a lot of time
trying to figure out why the cops couldn't figure it out,
and why nobody was being
brought to justice for Tupac's or Biggie's murder.
(man) How are these murders unsolved?
They both happened on crowded streets.
There were dozens of witnesses.
How is it possible that both these shooters got away with it?
(siren blaring)
Looking at how both of these murders didn't get solved...
... people still suffering
and they need the closure, they families need the closure.
โชโช
Eight years...
three months and 29 days...
today...
my son was murdered.
The truth will come out.
โชโช
Voletta Wallace apparently believed that LAPD officers
were involved in the murder.
She sued the LAPD for $500 million,
which is Biggie's estimated lifetime earning potential.
LAPD got really scared about this potential suit,
so they brought in LAPD detective Greg Kading
to reopen the case.
He demanded a lot of respect
and developed a reputation
as a guy who could really get things done.
(man) I never would have imagined that I'd end up
working on this murder case.
I didn't know anything about
Biggie Smalls' murder at the time.
This case is important, not only to the families,
but to millions and millions of fans around the world.
After reviewing the case,
we came to the decision that we needed to form a task force,
so I started to bring in and recruit people
from other agencies.
โชโช
Since a lot of the information they had gotten about
Tupac and Biggie when it first happened
had come from my partner and I, from Compton PD,
they wanted me to join the task force.
(Greg) LAPD, the FBI, the ATF, the DEA--
there was a huge effort.
(birds chirping)
โชโช
The first week, we had 97 four-inch binders
worth of material to look at,
review, catalogue and figure out
what has happened in the last ten years.
There are three prevailing theories
regarding the murder of Biggie Smalls,
two of which involve Suge Knight.
One is that there was an unpaid debt
owed to the Southside Crips.
"The Los Angeles Times" reported this week,
the Notorious B.I.G.
may have been killed by Southside Compton Crips
over a money dispute.
(Carter) According to Kading,
the Southside Crips were pissed off with Puffy
because they thought they were owed money.
They thought they had done a favor for Puff and Biggie
by killing Tupac,
and when they didn't get their money,
they retaliated by killing Biggie.
(Greg) We did everything we possibly could
to look into this theory,
but at the end of the day,
there was a lot of false information
and lack of evidence.
(birds chirping)
โชโช
Another theory was that off-duty LAPD officers
carried out the murder at the request of Suge Knight.
(P. Frank) Suge Knight was affiliated with the police,
and to some extent,
had the police force on his side.
(Ben) The Death Row payroll
included a lot of off-duty and former cops from LA
who worked as security.
(woman) The family of Notorious B.I.G contends that a bloody rivalry
was going on between Tupac's record company
and Wallace's label.
They say Mac and Perez were hired to kill Wallace
as revenge for Tupac's murder.
There was good circumstantial reason to believe
that could be true.
It was investigated, but we just couldn't
make that connection in regard to Biggie's murder.
The third theory was that Suge Knight
had hired a gang member
in retaliation for the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Allegedly, Suge wanted revenge
for the death of Tupac,
so he hired a gang member to murder
Puffy and Biggie,
and only Biggie was in the car,
so Puffy lived and Biggie died.
(Greg) There was so much documentation
showing gang associations
with both Bad Boy Records and with the Southside Crips,
and Mob Piru affiliation
with Death Row Records in Los Angeles,
but gangs aren't gonna snitch.
The code of the streets that the gangs operated under
was never cooperate with police,
don't talk to the police, you're a snitch.
(Greg) The most frustrating thing for me
was interviewing hundreds of people,
including gang members,
and dealing with all the misinformation
that had come in with ill intentions
and false motives that contaminated the case
and led it astray for years,
and we were up against the clock.
โชโช
The problem was a lot of people had passed on.
Many of the Mob Piru affiliates of Suge Knight's had died
and some of the Southside Crips
that we had determined were associated with Bad Boy
had passed on.
But through a process of elimination,
our big break in the case
is a guy named Duane "Keffe D" Davis.
He's a Southside Crip,
kind of a shot-caller, known drug dealer,
and he also happens to be the uncle of Orlando Anderson.
(Tim) Keffe D was in Las Vegas
at the same time of Tupac's shooting
and had been at the Petersen Museum,
speaking with Biggie Smalls
several minutes before he was killed.
Keffe D was also a pretty good-sized narcotics dealer
at the time.
He was moving up to 90, 100 kilos of cocaine
around the country.
During our investigation, we became aware of a courier
and gave him the option of either jail
or working on our behalf.
He chose to work for us
and we utilized him as an informant
to start to make purchases of cocaine and PCP
directly from Keffe D.
(camera clicking)
It took time, a lot of money and manpower,
but in the end, we got what we wanted.
We told Keffe D, straight up,
we have an airtight case against you.
You've got no way to wiggle out of this,
so you either come clean
or else you got to prison for the rest of your life.
When Greg Kading's task force compelled Keffe D to confess,
they thought he was gonna confess to Biggie's murder,
and instead, he said, "That wasn't us."
(Greg) So we're a little bit,
you know, disappointed,
but we realize, well, what's he really saying?
"That one wasn't us."
So we then begin to make inquiries about
Tupac Shakur's murder
and that's when he breaks the case on that.
(man) All right.
It was ten years ago today
that the prolific rapper and actor Tupac Shakur
died in Las Vegas.
Six months later, Notorious B.I.G. was killed.
And the rap world has never been the same.
(Greg) If anybody knew anything about the murders of either
Biggie or Tupac, it would be Keffe D.
(man) Keffe D.
He was from Southside Crips,
one of they so-called leaders over there.
(Tim) They were natural enemies with Mob Piru Bloods.
Suge Knight had Mob Piru gang members
that were his security and his entourage,
so it seemed these murders
were about the Crips versus the Bloods in Compton.
(Greg) In regard to Tupac's murder,
Suge Knight wasn't talking,
and so Duane "Keffe D" Davis
was one of the last remaining witnesses.
โชโช
(man) ... and rolling.
Getting Keffe D into a room with his lawyer...
... and along with myself and other agents...
... this was kind of the moment of truth.
We talked to Keffe D about his nephew Orlando.
At the time of Tupac's murder,
Orlando Anderson's name was popping up everywhere.
He was the most obvious initial suspect.
He was at the MGM.
(man) In Compton, Orlando tried to snatch one of the homies chains,
so Pac took off
and the fight broke out in the hallway.
(Greg) They just beat him down.
Hours later, Tupac is shot.
Orlando Anderson, he's got the motive.
Las Vegas PD knew that,
but they just didn't have the evidence to prosecute him.
(Greg) Keffe D immediately starts to plan on a retaliation.
(Greg) Zip, Eric Martin, says, "What do y'all need?"
Zip pulls out his Glock 40,
hands it to Keffe and then the hunt's on.
โชโช
Keffe D and his entourage get into a white Cadillac.
Along with Keffe D,
the driver is a guy named Terrence Brown.
They called him "Bubble Up."
Behind the driver is DeAndre Smith.
He's in the left-rear passenger seat.
And Keffe D.'s nephew, Orlando Anderson,
is sitting behind the right-front passenger seat.
All Southside Crips.
โช Sniper with a... โช
I ran the door at the 662.
I seen Orlando and them
when they pulled up in the Cadillac.
And I told my homies, "The Southside's up here."
My homies that was at 662,
everybody had their guns.
We knew it was gonna be something.
They sat about five minutes.
โชโช
(Greg) Keffe D and crew go back towards the strip.
(Greg) Meanwhile, Tupac and Suge are driving towards the 662 Club.
Behind them, there were some girls screaming, "Tupac, Tupac."
(woman) Tupac!
Tupac!
(woman) Tupac!
(Greg) When we interviewed him,
it was under much different circumstances.
He had this kind of "queen for a day,"
as they call it, a proffer agreement,
where he could confess to pretty much anything
and not have his words used against him.
(Greg) So he's safe to admit to us,
but he's not safe to admit it publicly,
so he made it explicitly clear that his nephew
Orlando Anderson was absolutely the trigger man
that shot and killed Tupac.
(Greg) So he grabs the guns, leans across big Dre,
puts his hand out the window
and then just starts pumping away.
โชโช
The Cadillac makes a quick right at the intersection
and disappears into the night.
Pac, stay strong!
Suge starts heading towards a hospital
and hits a median...
(car crashing)
... and he comes to rest down on Harmon and Las Vegas Boulevard.
(siren blaring)
(police radio chatter)
(man) September 7, 1996, around 11:00 p.m.,
an officer came on the radio saying that they had just heard
shots fired form a number of vehicles,
so I started riding my bike up the strip here
on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Tupac and Suge's vehicle spun out at the intersection.
Suge is running around like a maniac,
he's yelling, he's got blood flying out of his head,
and I noticed that there was somebody
still sitting in the car.
Turns out to be Tupac and he starts to try to speak.
And I looked at him and I said, "Who shot you?"
He got his breath together,
and he looked right in my eyes and he said, "Fuck you."
They stashed the gun,
they walked out to the intersection
on the way back to their hotel
and the ambulance with
Tupac and Suge in it are driving by.
(Greg) During our dealings with Keffe D,
he shows no remorse.
You know, and here we are 20 years later...
... and his impression is that this guy had it coming.
(Greg) Keffe D is absolutely a co-conspirator in a murder.
He is out there looking for Tupac and Suge,
he gets a gun,
he knowingly hands the gun
to the individual that shoots and kills Tupac.
Orlando would shoot Tupac just on principle.
He's got his reputation to defend.
(Carter) We tracked down Anderson
and he ended up denying it.
(man) From 1995 to date, have you ever ridden
in a white Cadillac?
No.
Whether or not he was telling the truth or lying,
to this day... I don't know.
I mean, I'm like a victim.
I feel-- you know what I'm saying-- sorry for him.
(Mob James) I see a lot of stories about who killed Tupac.
Goddamn, it's plain and simple,
it's in your face.
Orlando shot this man because this man jumped him.
This is some gangbanging shit.
Tupac died from gangbanging.
It shouldn't have never been the Bloods against the Crips.
This is music.
So how it got there?
Because of Suge.
โชโช
(Greg) It was fantastic
to get some understanding and some evidence
in the murder of Tupac Shakur through Keffe D.
However, it's a little bit bittersweet,
because our primary objective was to solve Biggie's murder.
With plenty of potential witnesses to a capital crime,
there have been no arrests.
The result for Los Angeles Police,
Biggie's friends and millions of fans is frustration
and speculation.
(man) How good a description
of the suspect do you have, sir?
We have a male black in his early 20s.
And that's the description we have right now.
(birds chirping)
(Greg) We eliminated two of the three theories
for the Biggie Smalls murder.
It wasn't Southside Crips and it wasn't rogue LAPD officers.
All that you have now
is the theory that Suge Knight
had hired a gang member to kill Biggie.
(Mob James) When Tupac died,
Suge had to say,
"We gotta kill these motherfuckers."
Yeah, Suge didn't have a choice.
(man) It's that mentality.
Tupac allegedly got killed by Crips,
so if I lose a soldier, you got to lose a soldier.
If I lose a general, you gonna lose a general.
โชโช
(Greg) We begin to look at people that we know
are closely associated with Suge Knight,
who we believe would be close to the action
and then put them into a position
where it's in their best interest
to cooperate with us.
As we're scouring through this mountain of case files,
we see that a name frequently comes up...
Theresa Swan, and that's not her real name.
Theresa Swan was one of Suge Knight's girlfriends.
She was the mother to one of his kids.
(Greg) She's got a criminal history.
She's got multiple identities.
She's been doing white-collar crimes
on behalf of Suge over the years,
so we start to zero in on her,
we do a search warrant at her house.
We begin to ask her about her history
and background with Suge Knight
and we begin to corroborate information
that she's providing us.
(Mike) Theresa Swan was allegedly caught
in this auto-loan-fraud situation with dealerships,
and that's what they basically had over her
that they could use to compel her to talk.
โชโช
(Greg) Just basically sit down with her and say here's the situation.
You've got young kids.
You're facing potential criminal charges.
If you go to jail,
your kids are gonna be put into foster care
and all we want to know is what you know.
She either now has to betray
a man that she had been loyal to for many years,
happened to be the father of one of her children,
but now she's looking at going to jail and losing those kids.
Once we secure the cooperation of Theresa Swan,
she is given the same type of arrangement
with the US attorney's office that Keffe D had,
that she's protected from her own
self-incriminating statements.
She begins to then explain what happened.
She explains that she begins to have conversations
with Suge here in Los Angeles,
in county jail, he tells her,
"I want you to get a hold of this guy, Poochie,"
Wardell Fouse.
He's a criminal associate of Suge's,
he's a Blood gang member.
(Tim) It was well known that Suge Knight had the Mob Piru,
basically ex-felons and gang members
that were his security and his entourage.
Poochie was the main enforcer for Suge Knight.
(Mob James) Poochie was one of Suge boys.
Never trusted him.
Poochie was foul.
(Carter) Suge hired Poochie
by getting the mother of one of his kids to...
hand over money to Poochie
to get him to go out and-- and kill Biggie.
โชโช
(Greg) Theresa Swan agrees to do it,
meets with Poochie,
and Poochie says, "You know, give me this much money."
And she reports this back to Suge.
Suge says, "No problem.
"We'll figure out a way to get this money to you
where it's untraceable."
(Mike) According to Theresa Swan,
Poochie was paid $13,000 for the murder of Biggie Smalls,
and for her role in it,
Theresa Swan supposedly was paid 12,000,
so it was 25,000 total for the hit.
(man) The other vehicle pulls up alongside
and the driver shoots...
numerous times into the vehicle.
(gunshots firing)
(man on phone) 9-1-1 emergency, what are you reporting?
(man on phone) Yeah, we need an ambulance on Fairfax and Wilshire.
If what Theresa Swan said is true,
then Suge Knight got away with murder.
(Mike) Greg Kading proved that LAPD
had nothing to do with Biggie's murder,
so that's all the LAPD needed to make this lawsuit go away
from Voletta Wallace and her-- and Biggie's estate.
(Greg) Once the lawsuit's retracted,
the LAPD loses its motivation and its momentum.
They essentially disband the task force.
The case gets shelved...
and that's where we're at today.
(Mike) Theresa Swan's statement alone
was not enough evidence for them to prosecute Suge Knight.
I think Theresa Swan's confession is credible,
but at the end of the day, only she and Suge Knight
know the truth of what really happened.
I had the opportunity to go and meet with Voletta Wallace
at her home and explain to her what we had discovered
during our investigation.
When I'm explaining that we know what happened
but we can't prosecute it,
the both of us, you know, ended up just in tears over it.
It was a very hard pill for her to swallow.
(Mike) It's highly unlikely that anyone will ever be prosecuted
for either of these murders.
Too much time has passed.
By now, too many witnesses have died.
(Greg) The two people that are confessing
have immunity from their own self-incriminating statements.
Almost all the other co-conspirators that have been
implicated are dead.
The alleged triggerman in Tupac's murder,
Orlando Anderson,
the alleged triggerman in Biggie's murder,
Poochie Fouse...
... they're gone.
(Greg) I'm very confident that the murder of Biggie Smalls
was commissioned by Suge Knight.
He hired a gang member to kill Biggie
in retaliation for the shooting that had happened
in Las Vegas where Tupac was shot and Suge was struck.
I hate that Miss Wallace as well as Miss Shakur
never got the justice for their sons,
not as Tupac and Biggie,
but as two young men
who were trying to pursue their dream
and who were cut down.
โชโช
(Danny Boy) 20 years ago, Suge was the man.
He was almost like the mayor of LA.
But after Pac and Biggie,
Suge was lost.
He lost hold of who Suge was.
(man) Everything okay, Suge?
(chuckling)
Just another day in Hollywood, huh?
(Jake) He lost all of his houses
because they're all mortgaged out to the wazoo.
His cars have been seized by the LAPD.
He lost his office building.
He lost everything.
(man) Step aside, ladies.
(man) Suge Knight is in the house!
(woman) He got talked into going to the clubs,
and I was like, "Club life?
You're too old for club life, stay out of the club."
But he didn't listen.
He started being influenced
instead of being the influencer.
(Mob James) That's when everybody knew.
It's done, it's over.
That crowd ain't behind you no more.
(siren blaring)
(Ben) Things got worse
and a whole flood of legal
and criminal problems began for Suge.
โชโช
In 2008, Suge was arrested on drug
and aggravated-assault charges
while leaving a Las Vegas nightclub.
He's not gonna make any comment at this time.
We're gonna argue this case in the courtroom,
not out here.
(Ben) In 2014, Suge and comedian Katt Williams
were arrested for stealing a photographer's camera.
(man) You think it's fair they're charging you with robbery?
Also in 2014, Suge was shot six times
at a party in LA hosted by Chris Brown.
(Jake) It was a very public downfall.
Suge's downhill spiral becomes an avalanche.
(Ben) Finally, it was murder was the case
all over again when, in 2015,
Suge is arrested for a hit-and-run incident
that left one man dead
and another man hospitalized.
โชโช
(Greg) Suge Knight was at odds,
call it a business dispute,
with some people that were filming
the "Straight Outta Compton" film down in Compton.
(man) He heard that Dre is gonna be there
and his view is, "Dre, you made all this money.
"You owe me.
You oughta pay me."
Suge had been in communications with Terry Carter.
They were friends.
And Terry Carter was working out some type of truce
between Dr. Dre and Suge.
(Greg) Terry Carter was recognized from the streets
as being a peacemaker, problem solver.
(woman) Suge went to Tam's Burger at the request of Terry Carter
because he was under the impression
that they were gonna finally resolve these issues.
All of a sudden, he feels like he's in the middle of an ambush.
He throws his car into reverse
and just backs out in a hurry
and happens to hit the guy that's behind him.
I get a phone call, like, within five minutes of this happening
and they're like, "Hey, Suge just ran over someone.
I call Suge and he doesn't even realize he's ran over Terry,
one of his friends.
(woman on phone) Uh, the car ran over two guys.
They were fighting and then, um, he just pulled back
and pulled forward and run them over.
(man) The new attorney for Suge Knight says that this video shows
that Suge Knight was ambushed.
(woman) Knight says he thought he was being ambushed.
Knight's truck apparently runs over two men.
The truck backs up, hits one man.
Seconds later, the truck comes back
and runs over another.
The video clearly shows that Suge pulled up,
was ambushed by multiple men,
and Cle "Bone" Sloan
was punching into the window at Suge.
"Bone" is actually hired as security detail
for Dr. Dre, specifically to take care of Suge.
The video shows that there appears to be a gun
that popped off of "Bone" when he hit the ground,
and one of the witnesses
or whoever was there put it in their pocket.
(man) Were you in fear of your life?
How did you feel when you found out that Terry had died?
So you didn't intend to kill him?
(Dominique) It was self-defense and it was an accident.
Suge thought that those men were there to kill him.
(Greg) Suge has a legitimate claim
insofar as what we can see on the video camera.
His claim is that he suffers from partial blindness
due to diabetes.
(Dominique) The district attorney's office,
they're portraying him as a monster in the media.
They need to create an image
and a storyline for them to rebut anything
that the defense would bring up.
(woman) Prosecutors on Friday requesting Knight's bail
be set at $25 million.
The defendant has a great potential to flee.
In this court's opinion, $25 million is reasonable
and it is so set.
โชโช
(Toi-Lin) He's not just fighting this case.
He's fighting 30 years of his public reputation.
(Greg) If it were narrowed down just to that particular incident,
just what took place there at the Tam's Burger,
Suge would have a pretty decent self-defense case.
But all of the crimes that he's committed...
(woman screaming)
(Greg) ... all of that I think is just gonna stack up.
Somehow, someway, Suge became this person,
this person that doesn't make himself
be accountable for what he'd done.
You gotta be accountable.
(man) For all chargers, sir, how do you plea?
Not guilty, Your Honor.
You deny all the enhancements?
Yes, sir, Your Honor.
(Toi-Lin) Suge may not have always been a good guy,
but in this case, he's innocent.
(Mob James) He where he need to be.
Fuck you, Suge.
I'm glad you where you at.
I don't wish jail on anybody.
I hope the truth comes out.
I hope that justice is done for everybody in that case.
โชโช
Death Row Records at one time
had the greatest producer ever, Dr. Dre,
one of the greatest lyricist and storytellers ever,
Snoop Dogg,
the most iconic hip-hop artist ever, Tupac,
and arguably one of the smartest businessmen ever,
Suge Knight, all in the same space.
So... what happened?
So what can we take away from this Death Row story?
โชโช
(man) Suge's rise to fame was real quick.
(Rob) Suge pushed his way into an industry
that didn't have a lot of room for someone like him.
(man) Suge created a label that represented the streets.
The market we going after,
we mainly for the people.
(man) We were a movement.
A record company that changed the face of music itself.
It was black owned, it was about black empowerment.
โชโช
But it was also fun and sexy for the white kids
to listen to this raunchy, hardcore rap.
โชโช
Gangster rap was pop music.
100%.
Everybody found their inner gangster.
Those albums went platinum.
(woman) Suge made me miserable,
you know, but I have to give him credit.
The influence that Death Row had over people,
it was amazing to see it from the inside.
(Kurupt) When I look back at that time,
I see a young man who got the opportunity
to live his dream and be successful.
A lot of people have a lot of bad things to say about Suge,
but without Suge, there'd be no Kurupt.
Suge made hundreds of millions of dollars.
But, you know, look what happened.

(gunshots firing)
(crowd screaming)
(man) He got shot!
Y'all get down!
Death Row let the streets be a part of the business.
And at some point, Suge took it too far.
(Alonzo) Suge was bringing the hood to the ivory towers
of the music industry,
but you can't be afraid for your life
every time you have a meeting with somebody.
(Danny Boy) I was raised on food stamps,
from the west side of Chicago,
so at Death Row my life changed drastically.
And there wasn't a secret that Danny Boy is like Suge's son.
Suge started gaining a lot of enemies,
so people were scared to touch me
just because of my relationship with Suge.
So I got stranded on Death Row.

Dr. Dre gave up millions of dollars
for the freedom to leave Death Row.
(P. Frank) Dre wanted to make music.
And the winner is...
Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre, featuring Eminem!
(P. Frank) He didn't wanna be a part of the beef.
(man) Snoop was able to get off of Death Row
by the grace of God.
By the hair of his balls he escaped.
(Snoop) 21 years ago in Las Vegas,
Tupac Shakur was taken from all of us.
With an unapologetic rawness,
Pac embraced those contradictions
that prove we ain't just a character
out of someone else's storybook.
(Carter) Suge Knight created an atmosphere
in which violence started to permeate everything,
and Tupac Shakur ends up dead.
With Suge, it was just like it was a recipe for disaster
and it set a bad course.
That's the reason why Tupac isn't with us today.
โชโช
(woman) Suge Knight was after money...
fame... bitches... power.
But everybody don't know how to handle power.
Suge sowed the seeds of his own destruction.
(P. Frank) Malcolm X, when he was Malcolm Little,
was a gangster.
Just like Suge Knight.
He was a pimp, he was a hustler,
he was a drug dealer.
But then he became Malcolm X.
Suge Knight with Death Row Records
never turned that corner.
(Alonzo) Suge was a genius.
He had it all.
He just didn't know when to stop.
(Rob) Death Row is a morality tale.
If you birth something in violence...
that violence is gonna consume you.
(Alonzo) Death Row could've been bigger than Jesus...
... but they crucified themselves.
