Here's a good one that should get some people goin. How many people out there know Death Row was financed by vanillla ice Dont take it wrong I ain't no vanilla ice fan I just thought everyone should know and see what people have to say about it.
 
You've been watching the welcome to deathrow DVD. No he didn't, it was that drug dealer guy, who's gonna make the people that are gonna carry suge's castket really unhappy :D
 
They blackmailed his ass. Haven't you heard about how Suge held Vanilla Ice out of a window to sign a contract that allowed Suge and Co. to collect royalties from him?
 
Suge

Suge wasn't no drug dealer he played footbat at OU which means he went to collage in oklahoma before all that. As a matter a fact I know this cat Doobie that used to get letters from suge while he was in jail, Doobie was on deathrow records on the cronic 2000 cd but after suge got out he let everybody go.

Suge got royalties for the DJ that made "Ice Ice Baby", and took his cuts outta it. (probably skimmed more than he gave the dude)
 
Actually

They were sued by David Bowie for stealing the beat from the song under pressure. I believe the group Queen got most of the money for that.

Suge Knight partnered with Michael "Harry-O" Harris(drug kingpin) to create an entertainment company, which housed Death Row Records under it's unbrella. The company was financed with Harry-O's money, not Vanilla Ice. With Dre on at the label, it was easy for them to get majors to look at them. First it was Sony, but do to legal reason it was Time-Warner, than after the "gangsta-rap" crackdown, the went to interscope. So the money they made from Vanilla Ice never became a factor. Suge Knight played at UNLV not Oklahoma. Suge was always down with the whole street life before football, it's just he never partaked in any activites until after going to college.
 
This fool knows his stuff. I just remember seein something about it along time ago on the screen. thanks ralph

Yeah suge was a dickhead wanting to be a scarface movie. I didn't say he was dealing drugs. I was talking about Harry-O. They started it all, "godfather entertainment" was supposed to be the company. Deathrow would be under that. But Suge Knight and his lawyer scuffled their way out of that deal and made it look Like Suge Knight was some kind of Al Capone. They actually tried to kill Harry-O but just left him paralized. Man when harry o gets out he's gonna be mad than a motherphucka. This is why u saw Suge switching from bloods to mexicans as his protection, he's got all these guys on payrole. The world thinks suge is the king and all that. I'm not saying Suge never beat up snoop and had his artists on a leash and all that ignorant sh!t but he didn't become a G on his own he just bought his way in and started living that way.

Harry O do your thing man :sing:

no problem
 
actually, Interscope signed Death Row in 1992. Interscope signed them with Warner Bros., just like Shady is signed to Aftermath and Interscope. when C. Dolores Tucker started raising a stink with Warner Bros., WB sold it's remaining interest in Death Row to Interscope.

Harry O fronted Godfather Entertainment, and Death Row was a conglomerate. he basically gave them the money to record tracks like Deep Cover, The Chronic, and sign Snoop, Jewel, Nate, and the Dogg Pound. but nobody got any money until Suge and Dre signed Death Row to Interscope/Warner Bros. by that time, the Chronic was finished and ready for press.

Suge bought out Harry O in '96 or '97, brokered out of his deal with Interscope, and he's now going through some smaller distributor. and he has complete ownership of anything that says Death Row on it.
