He's either very unhealthy or mentally exhausted. Maybe both.

I've got no sympathy for the idiot.

"He's either very unhealthy or mentally exhausted. Maybe both."

Either or both are certainly possible. Another possibility is that he's faking and looking for sympathy.

5. "295 pages of written arguments and supporting evidence"
Fri Mar 20, 2015, 02:05 PM
Mar 2015

To back up the claim, Deputy Dist. Atty. Cynthia J. Barnes documented the Death Row Records co-founder’s extensive brushes with the law in 295 pages of written arguments and supporting evidence, including an affidavit and more than two dozen police reports that implicate Knight in robberies, extortion, money laundering, assaults, witness intimidation and battery.

he's having some fiscal responsibility problems...

on edit : it would appear he is worth about $200,000... when he filed for bankruptcy a few years back he had $0 net worth and debts totalling $100million +

I saw a pretty convincing documentary alleging he was behind it.

but I remember my students talking about it back in my teaching days. Supposedly some sort of East Coast - West Coast feud wasn't it?

It was Tupac, and the argument was Tupac was about to leave his record label.

A simple renegotiation of the contract probably would have been more profitable for all involved.

I bkame none other than Suge Knight for all of that drama. He didn't care who he got killed so long as he made that money. I will always blame for both deaths. I think he got Tupac killed and then people killed Biggie thinking HE was behind it all. He and Pac used to be friends. Suge started all that. I blame him vigorously.

I bet he'll offer up Biggie and Tupac's triggermen to hopefully cut a deal.

turn into crying cowards when they realize that their number is finally up and they have to answer for their crimes. It's easier being tough when there is someone else to take the fall (or the bullet) for them.

That said, after seeing the video, I think there may be a legitimate self defense claim.

heck, the incident where he backed up may have been legit defense... maybe the guy was threatening or hitting him through and open window or something. but, putting the truck in 'D' and running one guy over and running another guy down (who was backing away) is gonna put a dent in the whole self-defense schtick.
