12 Shocking facts about Suge Knight (With Pictures)

2. He’s Threatened A Lot Of People

It’s probably not a big shock that Suge Knight used scare tactics to get his way in the music industry. When artists Michel’e, the D.O.C. and Dr. Dre were on Ruthless Records (which was headed by the late rapper Eazy E), Suge and his crew threatened Eazy E and Heller with baseball bats and lead pipes in order to get “the job done.” His tactics worked, and the artists were released from their contracts. That’s when the D.O.C. and Knight formed Death Row Records in 1991. The label was so successful that it was called the “Motown of the 90s”.
