Reggie Wright Jr. says Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre will never get album done

Former general manager of Death Row Records, Reggie Wright Jr. has recently sat down on bomb1st where he talked about Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s weird relationship and says Suge Knight is right for saying Dr. Dre does not deserve to have Grammy award named after him because of his dirty history.

“It’s hard for me to hate on Dre. You look stupid if you hate Dre. I love what Suge Knight said [about Grammy naming Global Impact Award after Dre] in his latest podcast. I said it a year ago but he came out on his podcast and said pretty much the same thing. We both spit out the same thing about that award. It’s kinda hypocritical from the Grammys to give that particular award named after Dr. Dre, knowing his history. It’s gonna be nice to see one female would have a courage enough to boycott if they try to nominate them for that particular award. It’s gonna be really interesting.” said Reggie Wright Jr.

Then he continued: “I still kinda like Dre. Other than that one issue with Dre. I’m gonna be honest. Even though I’m a Suge guy. I was around Death Row because of Suge. I always still kinda liked Dre for just the way he moved because he didn’t like the drama and all that.”

“It’s a good marketing [Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s recent Gin & Juice drink] but they have a weird, weird relationship. They never can do anything long. It never pens out between those two. They can make some money off that but they will never get the album [The Missionary] done. Y’all remember that tour that was supposed to be happening at Hollywood Bowl? And then they came out with crazy excuse about the writer’s Gil. I said that show was never gonna happen between those two. Dre got too much money, he don’t need it. I’m telling y’all, there’s something going on between Snoop and Dre where they can be cool for a minute but then they are not cool. They can’t work together. Their entourages are different. You got wanna be gangsters with homosexuals. And they just don’t get along. Don’t keep your hopes up about no Gin & Juice and no albums by those senior citizens. It’s not going to happen. It would be nice though. I would love it. I’d be in the front row of their concerts but like I tell y’all, it won’t happen. Great advertisement, good luck with that, they probably can do one day shoot, tow day shoot but as far as y’all thinking the album is coming out between these two, won’t happen.” – Reggie Wright Jr. added.

Reggie Wright Jr. responds Suge Knight saying Eminem’s 2Pac album flopped

Former general manager of Death Row Records, Reggie Wright Jr. has recently sat down on bomb1st where he talked about Suge Knight claiming the only 2Pac album that flopped was “Loyal To The Game,” which was released by Eminem.

During a recent interview with Katt Williams, Suge Knight said: “All the people Pac helped, buying cars, houses, putting them in apartments, jewelry, putting them on the songs, being label mates with him, everything right? Nobody never stood up for him. So, once Pac left, even people from his own groups, they started doing songs with his enemies. They started taking pictures with his enemies. But at the same time man, a lot of people been wanting to do songs with Pac and some people even did some s–t with Pac and they never…There was only one Tupac project that ever flopped before that’s the one Eminem did, on all the releases. All the rest of them were successful.”

In a new interview with bomb1st, Reggie Wright Jr. said: “It was not bad idea to let Eminem control 2Pac’s album cause Em was hot at that time. He was the hottest thing on the planet. Early 2000s to mid 2000s. He was Interscope’s baby. He was their boy. Now, to your point and most people’s point, Em is not known as a producer and he had different style and different flow than Pac did. Different style of music, so why would you have somebody that playing basketball coaching a football team? Just because you are an athlete or musician, don’t mean how to do and be that type of athlete, that’s my point.”

He then continued: “I would have taken the chance because if you would have got a percentage of Em’s fans over with Pac current fans, man, you all just don’t know how Em was considered in the industry at that time. Still to this day, he still holds the records as far as music sales, if Drake has not broken it yet. So, I guess why Interscope went that rout. Do I agree? No.”

Reggie Wright Jr. says Suge Knight never hated Eminem

In a new interview with bomb1st, the former head of security for Death Row Records, Reggie Wright Jr, talked about Tony Yayo saying Eminem confronted Suge Knight during 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” video shoot.

Interviewer: Tony Yayo did Drink Champs interview, and he talked about, the first time he got respect for Eminem, or, you know, something that he really admired about Eminem was that, when Suge pulled up at 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” music video shoot in 2003, everybody was running and scared and getting out of the backdoor and according to his story Eminem confronted Suge and he would not back down to him. Did you see where he said that?

Reggie Wright Jr.: I didn’t see that particular so I won’t be able to quote or respond to him directly on this particular one but I’ve heard the story before. That’s when Suge had Mexican dudes. I think I’ve heard this story from Kim’s bodyguard. We talking different time period. We talking 2003, 2004 or maybe a little bit later, I can’t say it didn’t happen or anything like that, I just know, when Suge comes like that it’s a plan to do something to you. Suge has never had a problem with Em. He actually never had. He really didn’t have hatred for Em like that. When Suge comes with numbers like that, no fearing, trust me.

This is not the first time Reggie Wright Jr. talked about Suge Knight’s attitude towards Eminem. Earlier this year, during an interview with PANDA CHOP! News, Reggie said that Suge Knight not only had a hatred to Em, he even liked Slim Shady: “Suge ain’t never really had no problems with Em to be honest. Suge always liked him, he always said he was a funny guy. He always kinda liked Em.”
