He's from M.O.B. Piru, east side Compton, but his status has always been in question. A lot of people think he just hustled the music industry. Watched and learned from Jerry Heller and Eazy E while being a bodyguard for N.W.A. Used his size and hired goons from the hood to intimidate people in the industry who didn't know better than to call his bluff. Made his inroads with legendary producer Jimmy Iovine, which made him a real player in the industry until he and Dr. Dre fell out, as Iovine backed Dre 100%. Everything fell apart for Suge after that. I think what he did to get this sentence proves how desperate he was to keep a name for himself. Running people over with your truck is the act of a psychotic lone wolf, not an OG with influence. The guy who survived the attack, Cle Shaheed Sloan, is a well respected Blood throughout Los Angeles, for both his stripes and being a peacemaker in more recent years.
