Boy, great start to the MTV Music Awards! Can't wait to see what the show has in store (sarcasm dripping).

[sydbas]

Never heard of him. Then again I'm just an aging redneck rocker who still listens to The Who and Led Zeppelin.

Rap people and gun shots.......go figure!!!

Knight co-founded the pioneering rap label Death Row Records...

It must be all about crafting a wholesome image.

These hip-hop people are beyond the pale. They have ZERO talent other than their message is to kill police officers. My son had one of their CDs and I beat the sh!t out of him and kicked his ass out the door. I told him if he tried to come home, I would call the police and let them beat the sh!t out of him for trespassing.

Welshman have tempers when it comes to loyalty and oath. (fifth generation American BTW)

Dang didn't no one teach dem homeys how ta shoot straight?

Given the reputation of his chosen profession this is hardly shocking. It continues to be scandalous and indicative of the wariness we should have with our youth's obsessiveness over that subculture's trappings, debased morals and use of violence.

Anyway, here's to a speedy recovery for ol' Suge.

Bit extreme, yes? How old was he anyway?

[struggle]

Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baaaaabay!
Two loc'ed out *****'s so we're craaaaazay!
Death Row is the label that paaaaays me!
Unfadable, so please don't try to fade this

[struggle]

BTW, what the hell is happening when he's getting shot at a KANYE WEST PARTY???

You know, the new Common-style college grad., not-a-gangster rapper, not-in-the-game good boy rapper?

Why did Kanye even invite Suge Knight? The guy has trouble spray painted all over him. He's actually one of the few rappers that ACTUALLY WENT TO JAIL. Plus, the Death Row label has been dead 10 years now.

[Cobra64]

He was about 17. He got the message and is working hard, has no tattoos, or piercings, dresses well, speaks well, excellent communication skills, earning a reasonable income and getting his BSBA/Economics degree.

He's on his way. I THINK our tough love approach maybe made the difference.

Then again parents are pretty stooopid aren't we? IMOHO

[FOG724]

It is increasingly hard to take rap music artists and companies serious when this crap goes on.

[rdcorso]

Is that a spelling error or is it really called Tha Row?Seems kind of stupid to me but then again we're talking about cardboard gangster rap.

[G.Mason]

"Never heard of him. Then again I'm just an aging redneck rocker ... "

Same here. I suppose I will have him struck from my memory bank before I finish typing th ...

Who was I talking about?

[Schwaeky]

dunno much bout Suge Knight, but Kanye West is really good... He's conflicted sometimes in his music sometimes playing the hardcore gangsta rapper, sometimes the not so well adjusted (meaning needing Ben Sobel's talents) gangsta), just listen to "Jesus Walks" and see what I mean (I'm not here to argue about his facial features but to convert atheists into believers)

..we at war, we at war with terrorism, we at war with racism... most of all, we at war with ourselves...

[conservative cat]

Suge Knight is trouble. I believe it was him that held Vanilla Ice off a (very high) balcony by his feet. He's had scandal and drama linked to him for a very long time.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I miss the Sugarhill Gang, the Funky Four Plus One and Digital Underground!

[Caipirabob]

Yikes. Your home, but perhaps he can be salvaged?

I remember the early 70's. My father went on a rampage when he heard my older brother playing a woodstock album. They "came to terms" after my father took the album and broke it into a zillions peices in front of him. My father had been promoted as one of the youngest officers in Korea in order to build a bridge they needed. He didn't take kindly to the song "One, two, three...".

My bro was wild, but he turned out to be close to the genius my father was. Went on later to help design programming for the B1 or B2 bomber. Don't remember exactly now, will have to ask him. Yes, he turned out conservative and one of the most decent people I know on the planet.
