Blame suge knight 4 that. If many albums wer put out, the sitution wit the westcoast wouldnt b so bad. I think Crooked i would even lead the westcoast f his shit got put out. I think i would say suge is partly at fault of how the west is fell off cuz he had some talent on tha row that he didnt even bothr putn out

Death Rows roster was too good to be true

ok thats an opinion i can live with even though i disagree
but 2006 wasnt the end of deathrow .since suge is right now working on rebuilding the record label..including getting the master tapes back

offcourse i didn't mean it literally, but based on success and quality i would say it died in 1996 

and what do you mean with rebuilding?
as of today Death Row is still bankrupt, and the lawsuits are still going on if i'm not mistaken.

suges lawyers are fighting the main judgement against him and deathrow..and according to different people he should win that (  http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/03/18/19486687.aspx )
if thats the case he should be out of bankruptcy  and get the master tapes back

Saw this in someone's sig.  Look at that roster.  Crooked I, Left Eye, Kurupt, and Eastwood.  That group right there had so much potential.  Sad that they never fully took off.

That was in the spring of 2002.

Sufficient media exposure (be it positive or negative), Crooked I's Sisqo featured So Damn Hood single, a fully lined up roster waiting to be heard, affiliations with people like Ray J, Jadakiss, Juvenile, Rap-A-Lot and Murder Inc and I think even Natina Reed (Blaque) was about to sign.

If only DR had gotten a major distribution deal back then I think it could have been '94-'96 all over again.

They also had ties with 40 Glocc, Mobb Deep, and even Young Buck at one point.

so another lawsuit; ok let's say that he gets the label running again, do you really expect something big from it ( not saying that you don't have the right to feel that way if this is true, but i'm just wondering what you think of death row's future)?

honestly I dont think they were going to make any type of huge comeback, it was a dope roster but Death Row just had too much drama surrounding the company and was being poorly managed since about '96

actually it started with drama; Dre left Ruthless and no major label wanted to work with Dre because of the legal problems with Ruthless.

yes interscope wanted to distribute them, but that was mainly because the company was about to close it's doors.

it's crazy to see that death row is bankrupt, while interscope made 400 million off of death row

[D-Stress]

ok, i mean 1992-2006
if i was suge i would release all unreleased tracks as compilations +1 or two  unreleased pac song on each comp.

[EFFeX]

Once that crew fell apart I PERSONALLY mark that as that end of the Death Row era... I don't even count the whole Petey Pablo thing.

your right about how it started off but they were new to the game then and it worked to their advantage a little, but after Dre's departure, Pac's Death, Suges incarceration, Snoop leaving the label I thought that was the final straw that broke their back. I was still a fan of Death Row during the 97-98 period when they released some dope albums, Gang Related, Rage, Daz but it wasnt the same as before.

[KURUPTION-81]

a great roster but no one will deal with suge so there was no chance of them getting exposure in the mainstream
