In this episode, Suge responds to podcast fans who have asked him to go through each person that was a key part of Death Row Records and give his rundown on the good and bad about them. First up, Dr. Dre. Suge talks us back to the early days of meeting Dre when he was signed to Eazy E and Jerry Heller’s Ruthless Records. Suge talks about the soundtrack to the movie “Deep Cover,” and how much of an important role it played in getting Death Row off the ground. Suge commends Dre for not running off when the war between Ruthless and Death Row got going. Suge talks about the challenges for many in the music industry that lead a double life and how challenging it was for Suge himself to manage and grow a business in this environment. Suge goes into Dr. Dre’s history of beating women, comparing it to the situation with Diddy and Cassie. Suge continues to point out the powers that be at the major record labels and their role in creating and supporting these types of activities. In a special epilogue to this episode, Suge provides a graphic detailing of Dr. Dre’s brutal 1991 attack on Fox TV video show host Dee Barnes. Despite gag orders for all parties that came with a legal settlement made at the time, Dr. Dre would later re-hash his violent attack on Ms. Barnes in the Eminem song “Guilty Conscience,” where the Dre and Eminem make fun of what happened. Finally, Suge reveals never-before-heard details he learned from Barnes’ husband Ricky Harris shortly before his death in 2016.
