was sam sneed once beatdown by DR

[HBKid_Jr]

I heard this a while ago but i read some where that when DRE left death row,  death row beat the shit out of sam cuz he wanted say somthing negative about dre can someone clear this up for me

[Mr_Loc]

yea, becuz Sam was a friend of Dre's, dead row thought he was gon leave too, so they had a 'staff meeting' and started accusing sam of stupid shit like 'why dont u shout out death row in your songs' etc

apparently he got beatdown by the whole staff and i heard he got raped

what a great label

[Don Seer]

yeah thats in the ronin ro book.

a little while later he gets a brain tumor.. wonder if they feel guilty.

and who visits him? .. dre.

[Don Seer]

i wouldnt put anything past em.

dont forget these people are ex-prisoners used to this kind of intimidation shit

[Hambone (Guest)]

sam recovered..its good to know he is producin again..

[Top-Dogg2001]

Thats messed up. It must have lead to a brain tumor. I heard that Sam Sneed never had any health insurance either.

I would have sued deathrow if they beat me down. First, society doesn't like it when an African American (suge) runs a successful record company and wants to see him fail. Interscope wouldn't allow them to continue to beat down their staff like this and it would have had to end anyway.

If they Raped Sam then they really are FAGGOTS.

[Top-Dogg2001]

I heard suge use to make people drink piss.

They cover this extensively in 'Have Gun Will Travel' by Ronin Ro.  Like Mr. Loc said they had a staff meeting and tried to get Sam Sneed to come up with a name of a guy Dre was supposedly 'fucking'.  This story was completely fabricated and Sneed stayed loyal to the truth and loyal to Dre, and cause of that he got beat down.  And it also had to do with him filming a video for lady Herione out on the East Coast, without any West Coast artists appearing in it.  Ahhh 96', what a great year for controversy.

They raped him becaus ehe wouldn't sya Dre is gay??? LOL

[Mr_Loc]

naw because he was still down with dre and didnt buy into the death row gang mentality

[Sikotic™]

I don't know why people sign to a label where you become a target to get shot and killed.

[Last Dragon]

Sam Sneed's from a part of the Pittsburgh area called McKeesport.  That happens to be where I'm from.  To have him tell it from what I understand, and this is coming from a third party, everything that was said in the earlier posts are true except the rape.  He did walk out on his own two feet though.  He's doing a lot better now too.  He was on stage with Dre at the Pittsburgh date of Up IN Smoke tour.  Him and Mel-Man who happens to be from an area of Pittsburgh called the Hill District.

I dont think he got raped, beat down is a yes i think

Even thou i do listen to stuff from Death Row & I'm not prejudice towards them like so many people here, I dont agree with alot of things they say or do

They do have some fairly good talent at Row but its not used in the right way

& I dont like there weird mentality. They diss Eminem, but they are just dissing him because he turned down an offer to ditch Dre & join them.

So basically they're calling him a racist white boy fag, but if he was on Death Row they wouldnt be sayin that would he. How does someones contract with a record label change there sexual preference?

Kind of mentality that gives Death Row a bad name

[Jay ay Beee]

I can't believe you are suprised that loads of people are against Death Row when you hear stories like this.
It's not big.
It's not clever.
They need to grow up.
Respect their talent - but don't get up tight when people get mad at them.
