From Frank Sinatra to the CEO of Tha Row Records (formerly dubbed Death Row), Marion "Suge" Knight. I have a question though, is Suge Knight really involved in Organized crime and if so how deep? he is always looked to be responsible for the murders of Tupac Shakur and the notious BIG (Chris Wallace). I just was curious as to what you all think. He uses muscle to promote his records and he is known to be a shady guy. I also read a book about this guy "I have Gun Will Travel: the Spectacular rise and violent Fall of Death Row Records". however I don't believe everything I read so I am asking you all do you belive he is a would-be mobster or gangster? I have even heard that his club in Vegas (Club 622) has been shut down by the feds and they found drugs, large quantities of money and such. is this all true?

(according to the book) I wouldnt consider a street gang like the one that killed Tupac orginized crime. they are street wannabes.

Granted he's the owner of a crooked ass record label, and probably had something to do with Pac's and Biggie's death. He's a Piru Blood (a set out of Southern Cali) He's one of the guys that a loanshark would hire to break your legs. Shiesty Businessman, even turned on those who trained him to rob others. Suge Knight ain't a gangster (although DEATH ROW or THA ROW records was funded by gangsta and drug money) he's just a high paid stick-up kid. 16 Bars, Playas movin' dope in their cars/ Taped to the gas tank, Shawshank, smokin' cigars/ Took an oath son, spit on bums, I gotta succeed/ Murdered the child of the bast*ard, that tourtured my seed/ BLACK GOTTI
