MC Eiht Speaks On Suge Knight, Staying Humble On The Come Up And More (Video)
January 25, 2016
Comptons Most Wanted MC Eiht knows and lets the words flow freely about Suge Knight – success as a rap mogul to current hit-and-run and murder charges he faces. His views on what caused the downfall of Tha Row’s capo…
“Money and power will side-track the sh!t out of you if you ain’t the type of motherf#cker who knows how to handle power and money.”
Eiht continues.
“If you be humble, then motherf#ckers will know that. If you be the terrorizer, sh!t gone follow you until one day you gone be in the terror. It’s just the cycle of the world, man. Nobody thinks that sh!t is true, but it’s true.”
Get your money and stay humble and even-handed. Words from someone who knows. Worth watching and heeding.

Now that Death Row Records are under new owners they are wasting no time in opening the vaults of unreleased material from the label’s heyday. The first single to drop is ‘Lady Heroin’ from Sam Sneed’s ‘Street Scholars’ album due January 25th. Sam Sneed was a great producer from Pittsburgh who was heavily involved with Death Row back in the day. Wonder what he’s doing now or if he’s contributing anything new to the album dropping on the 25th. Either way…U betta recognize fooooool!

Authorities Claim They Are Closer To Solving The Murders Of Biggie & Tupac
January 7, 2011
According To CNN:
Los Angeles (CNN) — A task force made up of local and federal law enforcement agencies is actively pursuing leads into the 1997 slaying of hip hop artist Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls or Notorious B.I.G., according to two sources familiar with the investigation.
According to one law enforcement source, the investigation into the 13-year-old unsolved case was “reinvigorated” months ago as a result of new information, but the source would not elaborate further because of the ongoing investigation that includes the Los Angeles Police Department, L.A. County District Attorney’s Office and the FBI.
Retired Los Angeles Police Detective Russell Poole, who worked on the Wallace case, told CNN that he believes Knight was behind the murder, even though the Death Row Records’ boss was serving time on a probation violation at the time.
“Suge Knight ordered the hit,” Poole said, adding that he believes it was arranged by Reggie Wright Jr., who headed security for Death Row Records.
“I think I was getting too close to the truth,” Poole said. “I think they feared that the truth would be a scandal.”
