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.

Suge Knight slams Dr. Dre for having Grammy Global Impact Award named after him

Dr. Dre Global Impact Award was established at the 2023 GRAMMYs and Dre himself was named as the winner for his multitude of achievements through his innovative, multi-decade career. The second ever Dr. Dre Global Impact Award was awarded to Jay-Z at the 2024 GRAMMYs. It looks like, Suge Knight does not appreciate the event.

In this new audio recording, Suge slammed Dr. Dre for having Grammy Global Impact Award named after him. Knight, known for his no-holds-barred approach, comes to the defense of Chris Brown, who has been ruthlessly blackballed by the industry for beating Rihanna up but the same industry still giving props to Dr. Dre who allegedly abused women in the past.

“It’s not a Whitney Huston award. Not a Teena Marie award. It’s not an Aretha Franklin award. But at the same time, you can have a man that is a part of secret society, they gonna give him an award. The Impact Award. That motherf–ker beat up more b-tches than anybody. This man gets award for beating up women.” said Suge Knight.

Then he continued: “Chris Brown is stripped from his crown. And not saying he was right to beat Rihanna up, I’m not saying it. But What I’m saying is this: He had a fight with one woman and they still throwing stones at him. They don’t give him his cigar. They don’t let him come perform. They don’t let him win awards. But you can have an Impact Award with Andre.”

“The only person that can replace Michael Jackson, and be better and bigger than him, is Chris Brown. That comes from the king himself. And I ain’t talking about Elvis. I’m talking about Michael Jackson. I know they both allegedly messing with younger women but only one get ridiculed for. You know why. But they can have an Impact Award. Give Chris Brown his cigar.”

“Puffy, allegedly admitted beating up b-tches and f–king all the young boys and having his girl have sex with prostitutes and then with him and so on. They didn’t cancel him from the Grammys, he chose not to come to the Grammys. Chris Brown didn’t come to the Grammys or he can come but they just don’t give him his cigar.” Suge Knight added.

Suge Knight says only 2Pac album that flopped was the one Eminem put out

Katt Williams has recently done an interview with Suge Knight. They catch up to discuss the impact of Katt’s monumental interview with Shannon Sharpe. They talk about next steps to creating change. Katt is in the studio working on his album and plays Suge an exclusive preview of Katt’s diss track to Ludacris. At one point of the interview, Suge mentioned Eminem too.

“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.” said Suge Knight.

Then he continued: “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.”

Loyal to the Game is the ninth studio album and fifth posthumous studio album by 2Pac. The album was produced by Eminem and consists of remixes of previously unreleased music recorded by Tupac before his death in 1996. Released in the United States on December 14, 2004, Loyal to the Game debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart with 335,000 copies sold in its first week. It was later certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The last update on sales was 2011. It’s probably 2x Platinum by now.

The album’s second single “Ghetto Gospel,” featuring Elton John went No. 1 in Australia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Scotland and England. It was one of the biggest singles of 2005 in United Kingdom, stayed at No. 1 for 3 weeks and finished 2005 as No. 13 biggest single in the country.

Eminem and Suge Knight has never been in a good terms because of Dr. Dre and Suge’s endless feud. In “Like Toy Soldiers,” Em raps: “I went through my whole career without ever mentionin’ **** [Suge] / And that was just outta respect, for not runnin’ my mouth / And talkin’ about somethin’ that I knew nothin’ about / Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn’t my beef / So I did…” This was not the first time Eminem edited Suge’s name in the song. He did the same in the song “Love Me” with 50 Cent and Obie Trice. However, Em had mentioned Suge in the song “Bully.” More recently, Eminem has been saying “Suge” when performing “Like Toy Soldiers” live, rather than leaving his name out.

Last year, during an interview bomb1st, the former head of security for Death Row Records, Reggie Wright Jr, said Suge Knight never actually hated Em, never had a problem with him and, he even liked him.

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.”

Tony Yayo recalls Eminem’s the most gangsta moment against Suge Knight

In the latest episode of Drink Champs, Tony Yayo joins DJ EFN and N.O.R.E to share his unbelievable journey in the music industry. From his early days with 50 Cent and G-Unit to his experiences with iconic artists like Nas and Jay-Z, Tony Yayo provides an inside look into the challenges, triumphs, and controversies that shaped his career.

At one point of the interview, Yayo recalled how Eminem handled the altercation with Suge Knight: “It’s the s–t about the Suge. He lights the cigar and he’s trying to see what you gonna do. So, Eminem, 50 Cent, everybody outside, ni–a lights the cigar and I was bugging cause this is where I see Eminem was real. He was like ‘I DON’T GIVE A F–K, MAN!’ I swear, this is where I knew Eminem is the real ni–a. Fifty ni–as outside and he’s like ‘WHAT’S UP!’ and that ni–a Suge just walked away.” said Tony Yayo.

Then he continued: “That Mexican ni–as where kinda confused, like, they did not know what was going on. But the ni–as came outside. Eminem came outside one hundred percent. And Eminem was like ‘I DON’T GIVE A F–K, MAN! ‘I DON’T GIVE A F–K, MAN.’ Remember, it’s documented, Proof told Suge ‘you killed Tupac’ in the middle of the party. Them Detroit ni–as are kinda crazy bro. The Seven, Eight Mile ni–as have always been crazy.”

Later in the interview, Yayo also defended Eminem from people who are trying to discredit his GOAT status.

“The wildest s–t I know about Eminem is ‘Many Men,’ he knew the footsteps in ‘Many Men’ came from poltergeist. Eminem is the type of ni–a who stays in the studio. Eminem is the type of ni–a that has a diss record against you and you won’t even know. And he’s a humble guy. He’s just one of them ni–as who really care about the music.” Yayo.

Then he continued: “We came in the game with beef. We came beefing with The Source magazine. Benzino. So ni–as will say this about Eminem, that about Eminem. This motherf–ker white boy. Culture vulture. But he’s the ni–a that put the ni–as on. You never forget the ni–a who turned the lights on bro. No matter what color or what race he is. I love Eminem.”

“Ni–as be like ‘yo, we do not listen to Eminem in the street club. We don’t listen to Eminem in the car’ but you go to Spotify and he’d still be the number one ni–a in twenty years.” he added.

Reggie Wright JR talks Suge Knight’s Death Row goons confronting Eminem at Source Awards

In a new interview with PANDA CHOP! News, the former head of security for Death Row Records, Reggie Wright Jr, talked about Eminem getting extorted but protected by Boo Yaa Tribe on the West Coast and Death Row Records confronting Eminem at the Source Awards 1999.

Interviewer: At the 1999, The Source awards, Death Row approached Eminem and they were gonna beat him down until you intervened and said to kick back that he had noting to do with it. Suge was in jail at that time. Did Suge personally call and say to go after Eminem because of his affiliation with Dre?

Reggie Wright: About Source Awards, it was like ‘you all ni–as be out here you all gotta represent. How you gonna go to Awards Show in LA and nobody is from LA there? Or performing or anything? You all go there, represent LA, stand up.’ It was not about beef. It was not about the beef with Dre or anything. But there was this dude Dean, the young assistant of Jimmy Iovine who was with Em and Dean looked at me like ‘Reggie what’s going on?’ 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.

Interviewer: What was Eminem’s reaction when he got approached by all them dudes?

Reggie Write: He just looked and said nothing. It was not like he was scared or s–t but he was like ‘WHAT’S GOING ON.’ Then Dean jumped in and saw me. They know I was the only peacemaker. More importantly, Dean knew that I needed Em, that was my key to Jimmy whenever I needed to. It was like 10-20 of them standing there and three or four jumped in and they were about to do something bad to Eminem but fortunately they were listening to me and they just kept walking.”

Bang Em Smurf says Eminem was ready to go in a gunfight against Suge Knight for 50 Cent

Queens native and former G-Unit member Bang Em Smurf has has recently talked about a time when he and Eminem almost went into a gunfight against Suge Knight.

In an interview with 9 Side Entertainment he said once, while recording the music video with 50 Cent’s “In The Club” single, the Death Row founder pulled up and was ready to go.

According to Smurf, he was getting a haircut on the opposite side from where the crew was when Sha Money XL told him that Suge Knight had arrived on the set with some goons.

“I had to shake that off me and ran back like ‘I’m about to kill this ni**aa,” So I ran inside and said, ‘Yo, Suge outside. What you want me to do? Blow his head off?” said Smurf.

“I know if I killed him I would have been like five years. That’s nothing, and I would have been played like I was scared for my life.”

However, 50 Cent told him to hold it down. Then Bang Em Smurf returned to where Suge Knight was, and he said to him, “What’s popping?” And guess what? Eminem accompanied him with his bulletproof vest on.

“Eminem came back with the vest. Eminem was outside. Shout out to Eminem. Dre was not outside, 50 Cent was not outside but Em was outside. Shout out to Eminem, I love that ni**a. He gave us our first deal. Proof is my man. Rest in peace to Proof.” Smurf added.

Suge Knight’s son says only North Dakota & Arkansas listens to Eminem

Suge Knight’s son Suge J. Knight has recently set down with Cam Capone News where he talked about Eminem.

“Eminem probably having fun but I can not confirm that. A lot of people do all kind of s**t. All I can say about Eminem bro, is that all I said, everything I do takes out of context. So on my Instagram, all I said was, you do not hear anybody playing Eminem. That is just my generation I’m speaking for, probably. You don’t really hear anybody playing him.”

“He is a legend dude, he is a legendary guy. I am not taking his credibility. I just have my opinion. Do I apologize for it? Nah Man, that is who I am. I actually like one Eminem song. I did not even know Drake sampled it on Chicago freestyle (meaning “Superman”.) But the new s**t Eminem just recently dropped? No. Everybody is saying the same s**t I was saying. This Ain’t it.”

“He’s still doing big number cause he is still a big guy. If you go to North Dakota, the probably slapping that s**t. Arkansas and s**t like that.” – says Suge J.
