Ex Death Row CEO says Compton rappers are "slaves" to Interscope Records.Knight is well-versed in the area of bad business dealings. As Death Row's founder and former CEO, the 48-year-old built a reputation for intimidation tactics (like allegedly dangling Vanilla Ice over a balcony) and has watched his once profitable imprint crumble over the years. Death Row was once home to West Coast heavy hitters Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Kurupt and Snoop Dogg, but by the turn of the millennium the label descended into financial ruin and was eventually auctioned off to a Canadian entertainment company in 2009.
Kendrick still made the Forbes rich list earning $9m in 2013

I think Suge was just saying that about so many labels/companies being involved and all being entitled to some cut. With Game, it was G-Unit/Aftermath/Interscope and then Geffen got involved too for stuff coming out after The Documentary. And then there's still Czar Entertainment or whatever the company is called that is run by Jimmy Henchmen, who gets a piece of the action. And now he's moving to Cash Money/Universal, so who knows how the money will get split at that point. And Kendrick is still linked up with Top Dog/Aftermath/Interscope, so I bet Jay Rock is also getting a nice cut.

example: Fredo Santana has 1/4 ownership of Chief Keef's label…
Suga Daddy knows about bad deals/stealing money from rappers
You forgot Game was/is? signed to JT Tha Bigga Figga. I think that's who Suge meant by "is really signed to".
