Judge Orders Suge Knight To Sell Death Row Recordings

[Elano]

After filing for bankruptcy in 2006, a judge has ordered Suge Knight to auction off all assets for Death Row Records to the highest bidder on June 24.
The document, obtained by TMZ.com, describes what must be sold as "substantially all of the recorded music business assets of the estate, along with substantially all of the music publishing business assests of the bankruptcy estate of Marion 'Suge' Knight..."
The minimum starting bid is $24 million, and bids must be made by June 10.
Those interested may possibly include Afeni Shakur, who has tried to get her son's original work in the past, and Dr. Dre or Snoop Dogg, as many artists have expressed their desire to own their master recordings and publishing rights.

I doubt that. The music industry is ruthless. Whoever buys those masters won't give a fuck about seeing that Suge gets paid anymore than Suge was worried about paying Dre or Snoop for their work after they left. It's gonna be a record label buying those masters and none of these majors give a shit about doing right. If they aren't legally required to pay someone, they aren't gonna break them off no money because they feel it is owed.
