Forget to sign out of one alias and into the other?
just finished reading the one relating to tupac. lol @ suge laughing about and proclaiming pac was raped and later ironically signed him to death row.
I don't know. Despite many claims of people not getting theirs, I've always heard a lot of good storys that overshadow the bad ones, especially concerning Suge protecting his artists even outside of normal working hours. This story is another one that demonstrates that. It's clear the media, along with encouraged ex-employee's were the primary factors in all this bad press, that Suge brought down Death Row. The media, along with parent labels who didn't want to dish out more than they needed were a reason it went down, and got blackballed. Suge wasn't leaving anywhere with some shyty deal, like all artists, and labels will sign and smile towards nowadays, and they all knew this. He done what most CEO's, or owners of their own shyt need to do in corporate America

Grammy Award-winning rapper-producer Dr. Dre has received an eight-month jail sentence for violating probation in Los Angeles.Dr. Dre, whose name is Andre Young, recently pleaded no contest to drunken driving charges. Young, 28, was arrested Jan. 10 after leading police on a chase through Beverly Hills and Westwood at speeds up to 90 mph in his 1987 Ferrari. Police said a blood test showed the rapper failed a sobriety test with a reading that was 0.16 percent, twice the state's legal limit.He had been convicted of battery in 1993 for punching a man in the face, breaking his jaw outside of the home of Young's girlfriend.Young entered the plea before L.A. Municipal Judge Paula Adela Mabrey who also ordered him to pay a $1,053 fine and attend an alcohol education program. Mabrey ruled Young's no contest plea violated the terms of his probation in the earlier battery case.
Time Warner grew increasingly uncomfortable under such highly-publicized negative limelight, particularly when the prominent conservative politician Bob Dole became involved, calling the music Time Warner was producing 'nightmares of depravity.'Time Warner could not censor what Interscope chose to produce without breaking a legal contract signed by the two companies. If Interscope opted to release 'Dogg Food,' it could do so with or without Time Warner's blessing. Interscope did release 'Dogg Food,' and in doing so forced Time Warner's hand; the latter bowed out of its 50 percent stake in Interscope at the end of the year
four months after the company bought back Time Warner's 50 percent interest in Interscope, it sold that same stake to MCA Records for just over $200 million, Bronfman, however, was wary of the furor created over Interscope's involvement with Death Row and maintained a right to refrain from supporting the release of material deemed too controversial or subversive by MCA standards
Interscope has assembled an unmatched array of alternative-rock and urban-music hit makers.' However, in that same article, founder Ted Field confessed that, due to the scandal surrounding Interscope's distribution of Death Row and the controversial lyrics of some of its other stars, particularly Marilyn Manson, he could no longer even donate money to the Democratic Party, of which he had been a long-time supporter and fund-raiser. His company had simply become too hot, both socially and politically
