Dammit, will Suge Knights Unfinished Business reality show ever get picked up?

[Jimmy H.]

It won't get picked up because the content is over five years old.

They can possibly release a few songs with new videos having dancers with make up, fashion labels and product placement all over the video... Add in people like the Drakes and Katy Perrys, and re-title the label "Dead-Row Records" for both tax benefit, and for a fresh look and appeal.

They can keep the logo the same as the original (red Death Row Records logo) but instead, have it lying down collapsed on its side with a few bits torn off with cartoon vulchers swirling above waiting to take chunks out of it. Those cartoon vulchers should be clothed eg. 1 in a suit, 1 in current Hip Pop bling, and another wearing red neck/KKK attire lol. The background or landscape in which this is in should not be in a dessert, but rather the house of congress or somewhere political

[Jimmy H.]

Yes, because Death Row went under because of the government.

I would like to see a show where Suge just sits with a cigar and slates all the former DR artists.

The things he says about them are total bullshit but they are funny as fcuk lol!

LOL

Best you could prob hope for is YouTube

Would've been an interesting show to watch. 

Did his "Celebrity Beatdowns" ever get released?

Nope, only that part of the beatdown of former Clipper Keith Closs. I remember somebody said that Celebrity Beatdowns is in the Vault, but I highly doubt it.

We probably will never see this show. Just like the B2K reality show. This is why artist / companies need to stop over-promoting everything in the digital era. You get your fans hops up for no reason.

Simply hanging around him will probably end up in your death (see: 2pac).

Unfair thing to say. Name another one of Suge's artist that ended up getting murdered...Petey Pablo's career doesn't count for this discussion.

Why would anyone ever work with him or support him or finance him in any way? You'd have to be a fool because he'll probably beat you then rob you then say horrible things about you afterward. 

This part I agree with. Suge just doesn't strike me as someone who's matured enough to say "ok fuck it, let me calm down and just make my money and leave the bully era behind me".

suge's done some fucked up shit and some good shit but if he was a totally nice guy people would take advantage of him. so wit that said...suge carries himself the way he suppose to.

word. does wideawake have this footage as well ? they need to put out some dvds too. i know they got to have some unreleased footage.

Yes, because Death Row went under because of the government. 

Well, it was political pressure from government officials that made Interscope cut ties with Death Row - A move that would have a devastating ripple effect on other potential distributors that may have been interested. From there, officials who then went on to have interests in corporate labels to fight agasint "gangsta rap" would eventually lead to Death Row being blackballed from the industry. This isn't just Death Row, but any other label, or artist with similar musical content and image. Hip Hop got watered down dramatically after the suits took it over

[Jimmy H.]

Actually, Interscope rode with Death Row when politicians and black activists were having their attack on it. They basically cashed out around the time that the lawsuits were kicking in because financially, they knew they were likely to take a hit. Pac dying, Dre leaving, and Suge going to prison were a massive fucking blow to the label. The facts were the public wanted a break from gangsta rap after the murders of Pac and Biggie. And by the time, harder-edged music returned to the charts, Death Row did not have the established stars to command the kind of attention they once had. When Big died, Bad Boy was already deep into Puff Daddy's project which was basically his own musical introduction as well as a big jump-off for his new roster of Bad Boy artists. Death Row didn't have that. Everything was centered around Pac as an artist. It would be no different from any of these established labels. Yes, Ruff Ryders had big, mainstream radio hits and were a label to contend with for years but you take DMX, Eve, The LOX, and all the popular names off and try introducing new stars and no matter how good the music is, nobody outside of the core die-hard fanbase is going to check for it. Same with Murder Inc. Radio doesn't just want the label name, they want the actual artists who were behind it. The most well-known name on Death Row after 1998 was Suge Knight and he didn't rap.
