Suge Knight Wants To Close Up Shop At Death Row?
Saturday - March 10, 2007
The death of a dynasty may be coming real soon, and that dynasty is Death Row Records.
According to NYPost.com, 42-year-old Marion "Suge" Knight said in a recent interview with Page Six that he's ready to close up shop at the label he founded in 1991 after making two visits to the City of Refuge Church, near his hometown of Compton, California.
During preacher Noel Jones sermon, he talked about letting "the past go, and move forward to the future." Two weeks later, Knight heard T.D. Jakes, who was visiting from Texas, say, "You can't keep living in the past. God gives you a chance to move on."
After hearing the eerily similar messages, he felt it was a message directed toward him.
"They talked about the same thing, and it felt like they were talking straight to me," Suge Knight told Page Six. "I don't want to be tied up with this for years. I want to move on with my life in a more positive direction."
Over the past few years, the Death Row Record founder has been in a legal battle in bankruptcy court since Lydia Harris won a $106 million judgment against Death Row in March of 2005 (see "Suge Knight Ordered To Pay $107 Million In Lawsuit"), after she claimed that her imprisoned husband and alleged drug kingpin, Michael "Harry-O" Harris, helped start the label by providing Knight with the seed money, entitling them to 50% ownership.
Although Knight says he gave Lydia a $1 million several years ago, she sued again "once the money ran out."
In July of 2006, a federal judge ordered a bankruptcy trustee to takeover Death Row Records (see "Suge Knight Loses Control Of Death Row Records"), but wanted knight to keep operating it under Chapter 11 reorganization. He now wants to liquidate his publishing rights, pay off the creditors, and end his Death Row troubles.
"I want to take care of the creditors. I'm saying I don't want to keep living in the past, with the negativity," Knight said. "We shouldn't be constantly feeding negative energy to these kids," he said. "You can get rich with the devil's money, but you can only be happy with God's money."

Does this mean that there is a chance we get to hear all that unreleased shit from the Death Row Vaults?
