Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was shot in the leg early Sunday during a party hosted by Grammy-winning hip hop artist Kanye West, police said.
Knight, 40, was hospitalized in good condition, police said. He was shot during a celebrity-studded party at the Shore Club, part of a celebration of the MTV Video Music Awards scheduled for Sunday night, said Miami Beach Police Officer Bobby Hernandez.
Sonja Mauro, a guest at the club, said a shot in the party's VIP section rang out shortly before 1 a.m.
"I was in there and I heard a pop and I ran out and got trampled," she said.
People attending the party began screaming and running for the doors, she said.
Knight co-founded the pioneering rap label Death Row Records and hit the charts in the 1990s with West Coast stars including Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur.
The label struggled when Knight was sent to prison for assault and weapons violations. He was released in 2001, then served 10 more months for violating parole and striking a Hollywood nightclub valet. Relatives of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. have also accused him of involvement in his death, though police have never named Knight as a suspect.
Knight continues to operate his label, now called Tha Row.

I agree. Suge Knight is trouble with a capital 'T.'

Smacked your kid around and threw him out for music? Another poster called you a effin thug, that about gets it right.

Apparently you're still quite proud for beating your own son. I think you need alot of work work before elevating yourself above the level of scum.
Did I miss the sentence that tells who shot him ?

Just PR for the next CD.
It kept him out of jail and he's now going for his MBA.
The level of insight people willingly offer over the Internet never ceases to amaze. At any rate, it is good to know that your flesh and blood has done well for himself.
True dat.
The shooter should have spent more time at the range.
Thank you. Tough love is never easy. When I was a kid, and my father discovered I lied, he spanked my butt with a belt. Then he sat down and cried. It was a wake-up call.
Seems like these parties are getting more and more like those on William Hearst's yacht.
Wouldn't doubt it!!
That reason why there was that court case did LAPD cover up that part that was thrown out of court but stink with LAPD is still there because of recent Rampart divsion scandel and other stuff
