Huge Death Row Records History Part 1, check it out (by me, Tizzle)

[TuKer Says: Angeles Records is the truth!!]

dope read, cant wait for part 2, props

[makaveli11]

that was a very dope read ... a lot of small details that I didnt know about and/or remember. Major props to you for taking the time to type this out man, my ears are always all up when it comes to death row. I can't wait for part 2 and like someone said it would be really tight if you could provide more info on rbx getting slapped by suge for eating his chicken. Obviously I know who Suge is and his history, but still for some reason I thought rbx was one of the few people that Suge knew he couldn't really punk around. I guess I was wrong. Also I have a hard time believing Ny, Ny was meant to show respect to New York; when you listen to the lyrics it definitely sounds like kurupt was challenging any rapper in NY to a lyrical battle.

Good Shit Tizzle, i knew most of this stuff but i didn't know those small details about the whole Warren G and Deathrow problem, good stuff right there props

whens part 2 coming out?

[TobyTizzle]

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys, I only posted it here coz i figured I put so much work into it I may aswell post it a few places 

Sam Sneed will be covered more in the next issue to those wondering. Obviously the RBX thing got left out, as would a lot probably, but its hard keeping track of what I've already written etc. I just add to the word doc. every time I'm chilling on the net... I did an Aftermath one as well, but that was only 5,500 words long in its entirety. This Death Row article is already up to 16,000words. Part 2 is ready, but I'm holding off for a lil, also might try and take out some personal opinions, but not too much coz the OG reason why Im doing this is for another board who wanted me to tell them about Death Row...

Nima, I'd love that, Rud has also hollered at me about it... I think we need someone with good editing skills etc. As I dont have the time to continue writing the article, edit, work, go to uni etc...

Part 2 is VERY 2Pac influenced, so Pac fans make sure you check it out

P.S Justin, I'll give ya 10 bones for it haha

Should've added a bit about RBX getting slapped for eating Suges chicken and not wanting to play the devil in the Murda Was The Case song/video.

What did that kind of shit happen really ? ? ? Anyway props on the History Toby it was a nice read...

[Okka]

i was wondering about that too the other day when I was bumpin "u better recognize"

hold up... you know that song?? damn, you must be a hardcore fan of west coast music!

[Ruthless]

Good post.


According to The D.O.C Suge was not his bodyguard, but a friend who used to be with them, and everyone assumed he was the bodyguard coz of his size.

I also heard that the story about Suge punkin Eazy to get Dre out of his contract at Ruthless was made up by none other than Eazy E himself, so that he could get paid off of Dre's music at Death Row through a law suit.

[TobyTizzle]

Suge said himself in a Source magazine he did bodyguard work for DOC, whether or not he was the official bodyguard or just a friend, same thing...
