The Internal Revenue Service foreclosed on the Beverly Hills headquarters of Death Row Records, the notorious rap label founded by Chief Executive Marion "Suge" Knight, according to sources who have viewed the listing. The headquarters is slatted to be sold at a Jan. 12 auction. The IRS is seeking $6.5 million for the four-story, 30,000 square-foot office building at 8200 Wilshire Boulevard to recoup unpaid taxes and interest. While the building at the southwest corner of San Vicente and Wilshire Boulevards has only 42 parking spaces-a paltry 1.4 spots per 1,000 square feet - its prominent rooftop billboards and cell tower rake in $150,000 annually. Still, prospective buyers would have to assume a $4 million note already on the building, bringing the total cost to $10.5 million - $3 million more than the property is worth, sources said. "I was chasing it for a while but it's too hairy," said one prospective buyer. "You would have to negotiate with the IRS first and then hope to cut a deal with the lender." The building's sale is yet another blow to Death Row, formerly a top rap label boasting artist such as Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Its biggest artist, Tupac Shakur was killed in 1996, Interscope Records dropped its distribution deal and Knight was released from prison in 2001 after serving five years on a parole violation. Ed Merrick and Glen Rudy at Capital Real Estate Advisors LLC in Brentwood have the listing. Rudy declined comment.

Well and truly.
Its all they deserve for only releasing pac out take/ b-grade albums
-
oh shit.. they really are in trouble!
-

succ shit suge
-
it was gonna happen sooner or later. you cant have a record label with no records being released.
-
He's scrambling for a Dead Man Walking 2 now I bet.
-
I'm sure Dr. Dre will take a weak ass punch/slap in the face anyday to see this shit happen......Death Row going under......Hooray.
-
don´t know what to say really coz this cuts both ways. DR was a great label and they put out some great music but at the same time nowadays it only seems like Death Row´s involved in a gang of dumb shit that makes hip hop look fucked uo. wonder what Suge´s gonna be doin now coz if it´s true he can´t hide behind that whole Death Row shit and fall back and talk about the past etc maybe this is the jump start that them guys needs to put out some new music and stop living in the past.
-
deathrow is the same way it was when it started,
gangbanged out just different players.They always been on some gangbangin shit,
"thats the real reason nate dog and a few others left"
but with out any headlineing acts..there done. suge gone have to grab the mic to save his company..lol
DEATH ROW "THA ROW"
R.I.P.
-

-
oh well, its been time for Suge 'The King Of Recycled Material' Knight to hang it up any way....
oh yea be on the look out for..

lol..will it ever stop??
-
I wish they would stop putting out recycled material and actually release some new music. everyone who was into death row when they were at there height of fame will already have all those tracks so its never gonna sell.
-
it sucks for us tho, there is a lot of very good unreleased material in those vaults that may now never see the light of day.
shit he should just release an album of doggystyle, chronic, and doggfood leftovers, that is bound to sell and get him some money. plus he wouldn't have to pay any of the artists.
-
Deathrow has been on the bottom since all the originals left the label Eazy-E told them they had 5 minutes of fame and 4 minutes are up and he was right.

Speaking of Death Row, what's up with Harry-O? He is supposed to be released 2005 right?
-
Suge is a self-made millionaire, why would he go broke. He just has a lot of issues outside of music to deal with right now. Thats what I heard :).
-
lucky suge will probably be in jail, while hes getting out - maybe suge tries to escape from him - damn, this guy is waaaay cleverer then we all think ;D

Well, I guess Kurrupt better take off that Dress that he put on for Suge and BEG for Mercy from his old Homies...
RIP Death Row
Snoop said that Suge F'd up the Industry, guess he was right.

i already posted this in the other thread, but this one is fresher and some ppl still pay attention to this one instead of the other
whatever
here it is:
dre should buy death rows office building
would be a punch right into suges face... but i dont want that punch thing really
but he could buy it anyway and shake hands with big suge and buy death row
like the gangsta-rap outlet of aftermath records
and pop-stuff on aftermath (like usual)
promotion through aftermath
thats how the west could come back
suge could sell his dre records, and deathrow and aftermath would make a lotta money out of it
damn, i like that idea
any1 got dre's phonenumber?
-
^ you seem to be forgettin all the times Suge & deathrow have called Dre gay, fake, a has-been etc.. the biggest punch in the face to Suge is that Dre doesn't give him any attention
-
How dope would it be if some detectives\cops broke into the D.R. vault, and leaked all that unreleased material, just to fuck with Suge? I know it seems far-fetched but damn, there's gotta be some popo's in L.A. that are into old Death Row music, crack open the vault and have a ball with it. >>> "We're the police, we can do what the fuck we want." - Denzel in Training Day 8)

Carmen and Brooke both look the same- you don't want to thrown a blonde into the mix?

fucc yeahh Eazy was right. Suge is over. He has proved he is nuttin more then a punk ass liar and a fake nigga. Now his company is gonna fold. Nigga is on the same level as Tomika Wright. Except Tomika hasn't wasted any money on wacc ass bullshit records which Suge has. Yeah I remember Chronic 2000, Dead Man Waccin and Too Wacc For Radio. Yeah and the Miche'le album hahaha. I'll never get tired of dat one haha. I'd love to c Dre buy dem offices. He won't do it tho. Dre ain't Eazy.
