On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the real gangster of West Coast hip hop, Suge Knight. Though his nickname comes from his sweet childhood nick name of “Sugar Bear,” he turned into a real monster. He started by managing a few rappers and then created Death Row Records which had some of the biggest names in West Side rap. He famously fueled the East/West rap war and was behind the wheel when Tupac was shot. What are the theories surrounding his involvement? What was RAMPART, and how was he involved with corrupt LAPD officers? Did he kill Biggie Smalls? Why did he run over two men in 2017, and how long is his prison sentence based on that killing? Listen, laugh, learn.
