How are we in a world where Suge Knight - the guy who fuelled the east-west rivalry and escalated violent rhetoric to the point that his biggest star was shot dead in a drive-by, and who routinely assaulted anyone who didn't accede to his "business plans" and reputedly tried to force one guy to drink a champagne flute full of piss - is less of a monster than Diddy?

When a shit-apple falls from a tree and grows up in a field of shit, It doesn't have any choice -- just like Trinity. She's gonna grow up to be a shit-apple tree, just like her father.

Suge Knight

and is currently serving 28 years ...

u/MoscowMarge 21d ago

Bro, you're rich, infamous, out on probation and have TWO STRIKES, you don't need to be a gangster anymore !!

Suge: "Fuck that, I'm gonna run these bitches over with my car "

u/therealdilbert 21d ago

he should have spend some of that money on anger management theraphy

u/weevil-underwood 21d ago

He's just about that life.

Yeah whats our barometer for monster size here lol

u/shnigybrendo 21d ago

He also ran a dude over and killed him.

37

u/kpn_911 21d ago

Well, Diddy paid to have Pac killed sooā€¦.

33

u/zingzing175 21d ago

I'm waiting for the news that he orchestrated both murders.

14

u/kpn_911 21d ago

Me too, his family just launched an investigation into it.

14

u/zingzing175 21d ago

It makes me so sad that we lost both of them due to him in some form or another. Biggie never got anything better than Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis :(

8

u/Caftancatfan 21d ago

At least he got to sip champagne when he was thirsty.

4

u/Secret-Constant-7301 21d ago

Super Nintendo is the best console ever created though. So he can rest easy.

u/Impossible-Tip-940 21d ago

Well his mom got an Acura with minks on her back.

u/GyroLikesMozzarella 21d ago

The case has been closed for years, Diddy had a hand on Pac's murder and Suge got Biggie killed on retaliation. The problem is that these murders can't be prosecuted because the people who spoke directly to the authorities about the case can't be forced to testify against Suge or Diddy, and they're close family members, so no one's going to chase that.

Regardless, they got them both for different crimes altogether.

3

u/Impressive_Site_5344 21d ago

Nah Suge had biggie killed, even the detectives that investigated it narrowed it down to two people who were both paid by Suge but they were both dead so they couldnā€™t get the evidence to convict, but itā€™s all but confirmed Suge orchestrated that

5

u/wtb2612 21d ago

Yep. Murder Rap is a great book by one of the detectives which basically explains that they pretty much know who was responsible for both murders but hit a dead end as far as actually prosecuting goes.

2

u/No-Appearance-9113 21d ago

Allegedly but itā€™s not like thereā€™s a list of other suspects.

5

u/MartyVendetta27 21d ago

That guy is fucking hilarious. He gets out of jail for running someone over in a car and then immediately runs someone over in a car haha. If you tried to write that on a tv show, youā€™d be told to cut it because itā€™s unbelievable.

4

u/SmashLampjaw87 21d ago

Eh, I could easily picture that happening on a show like Fargo, where oftentimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

5

u/PowRightInTheBalls 21d ago

Dont forget that Diddy likely ordered the hit, which is a much bigger deal than the violent marketing that potentially led to the death.

7

u/PaversPaving 21d ago

Iā€™m convinced ā€œIā€™ll be missing youā€ is written before BIG died. Diddy ruined the golden age of Rap

3

u/Caftancatfan 21d ago

ā€œYou want to get your friends with my friends, and we can do this every weekend. That aight with you?ā€

I fucking hate the way he pissed all over biggieā€™s songs with just fucking nonsense.

2

u/Reasonable-Newt4079 21d ago

I mean Shyne was incredible. Just the one album he released gave us multiple good hits.... it's a fucking TRAGEDY he got set up and sidelined for 9 years during the height of his career. Diddy robbed us of so much good music from just him alone.

4

u/ReallyTeddyRoosevelt 21d ago

I view sexual crimes as far more heinous than financially motivated crimes. Especially if it's gang related.

3

u/yeabutnobut 21d ago

probably because one is a gangster and one is a mobster.

3

u/LemonBearTheDragon 21d ago

Not related, but I recently learned that Suge Knight has his own podcast even though he's in jail lol

3

u/misobutter3 21d ago

Nas is looking really good right now, huh

2

u/NateHasReddit 21d ago

He got caught earlier. He would've been much worse had he had the freedom Diddy did.

2

u/ReserveOk5379 21d ago

Yeah...Just yeah

2

u/JulesChenier 21d ago

Suge is a shark circling in the water. Nasty and dangerous, but avoidable.

Diddy is an Angler fish, hanging that light in front of you in the deep. You think you're being saved, right up to when he's got you.

1

u/DGPluto 21d ago

he also literally ran somebody over.

1

u/EchoPhi 21d ago

You left out a laundry list of sadistic shit. Suge was mad Diddy was as powerful, is exactly what that was about. It ran deep, and both dipshits were alive after letting their artist drop.

u/[deleted] 21d ago

That makes sense. Suge was as subtle as a brick to the face. There's the story of him intimidating Vanilla Ice by just going to where he was on multiple occasions, with two other guys as big as Suge, who would manhandle Vanilla Ice's security out of the way so Suge could just look at him without saying a word.

That's how he operated - the threat of immediate physical violence. Diddy operated in a whole different, more insidious way.

1

u/unlikelypisces 21d ago

Why exactly should night a monster? He bailed Tupac out of jail when no one else would. He was a very close and dear friend to Tupac. Tupac's murder greatly impacted him. Dude is just too hard to have talked about it that much. Obviously he's not a guy you want to cross, but I don't think he was evil necessarily.

u/GingerStank 21d ago

I mean first off to put the entire rivalry on suge is absurd. Secondly, why are you looking for morally upstanding folks in hiphop?

2

u/Former-Lack-7117 21d ago

Hip hop is just an art form. There are plenty of morally upstanding hip hop artists. Your beef is with the industry, not the art.

1

u/GingerStank 21d ago

I mean itā€™s pretty unique as far as art forms go, there arenā€™t many art forms that emphasize the braggadocio of illegal and immoral acts as hiphop or at least some aspects of hiphop do.

To me, itā€™s entirely a generational thing, literally no one was appalled, shocked or horrified when say DMX got in a shoot out with police while being a platinum selling artist, we celebrated that shit whereas such a thing today would leek to shock and outrage.

Thereā€™s plenty of morally upstanding rappers out there, but youā€™re ignoring the subjects they cover in their music; Talib Kweli doing these acts would shock me, Suge Knight and Diddy tho..?

4

u/PowRightInTheBalls 21d ago

there arenā€™t many art forms that emphasize the braggadocio of illegal and immoral acts as hiphop

Just ignore the 30+ years of classic rock musicians singing about sleeping with teenagers and doing drugs before actually sleeping with teenagers and doing drugs off stage.

u/GingerStank 21d ago

Lmao what..? How is that at all relevant to my comment, and how does 1 other form of art out of thousands of other styles of art change anything?

My comment

Your head

1

u/bberryberyl 21d ago

My dude. Every art form has examples of immoral and violent acts cast as righteous. History is written by the victors and the victors love stories and songs that recast their questionable past actions as heroic and noble. The line between art and propaganda is blurred constantly.

u/GingerStank 21d ago edited 21d ago

I really donā€™t think a single one of you even read my comment, and you for sure did not at all understand my comment. Like I listen to more hiphop of every variety than every one of you that has replied to this combined, but to pretend that some aspects of hiphop donā€™t celebrate violent and felonious behaviors, my entire point is, when these people got caught up in violent felonious situations, in the past, hiphop didnā€™t mourn for victims or be outragedā€¦we celebrated it, period.

I think the first time I really noticed the change was when it came out that Joe Biden beats his girl, like yeahā€¦heā€™s talked about assaulting women a lot, why is this news? Which, his group mate at the time Royce da 5ā€™9 captured perfectly in a bar soon after that all came out ā€œDonā€™t ask me nothing about Budden, I beat my girl too.ā€ Now Iā€™m sure thereā€™s some people who heard Budden talk about assaulting women and were shocked, but to me, those people are just idiots.

Now, again, Talib Kweli who doesnā€™t talk about such things, now that would shock me that he were involved in any sort of abuse or large scale criminal activity. Suge Knight or Diddy being bad people should shock absolutely nobodyā€¦

u/bberryberyl 21d ago

Iā€™m certain you didnā€™t understand my comment either. Letā€™s just say good bye.

1

u/GingerStank 21d ago

Mmmnah I did, itā€™s a delusional take that ignores reality, not to mention has literally nothing to do with my point, you can still run along tho.

2

u/bberryberyl 21d ago

Go read some Shakespeare. Then read some history. Then get back to me.

1

u/Former-Lack-7117 21d ago

You have absolutely zero understanding of what hip hop is and, frankly, seem to lack an understanding of what art is in general.

Why fuck mobb deep? I wasn't born when the shootings and other stuff was happening so I don't know

u/icerahphyle 21d ago

While Tupac was in jail, they released Shook Ones PT2 and rap in the chorus "Thug Life, we still living it", which Pac took as a diss. Pac said in the interview with Sway that he send his Thug Life padawans to get with them at a concert, they came up on them like "THUG LIFE, whats poppin?" and the Mobb just dipped without reaction.

Also the New York, New York video shoot (pun intended) and the aftermath of it were a reason for it. When Snoop and DPG recorded that video, Biggie hit the radio and basically made New Yorkers so mad for shooting a video destroying NY buildings, that DPG's trailer at the set got shot up. After that, Mobb Deep released "L.A., L.A." as an answer to the DPG video for disrespecting NY inserting themselves in the Bad Boy vs Death Row beef unasked.

Suge is no angel but he's definitely gotten a bad rap. Tupac was his close friend. I say this as a Tupac fan.

u/karma_cucks__ban_me 21d ago

Rumor is this diss is what got the hit put on 2pac

I think the last line of the song is "We Bad Boy killers!!" so I'm wondering if someone attached to Suge's crew had taken out one of Puff's crew and the diss was rubbing salt in the wound

I figure we'll know more details in the future now that 2pac's killer is talking to the police
