Suge Knight Ends Death Row Records ?
After many years of controversy surrounding the historic label started in 1991, Suge Knight has decided it’s time to pull the plug on Death Row Records. In an interview with Pagesix.com, Knight stated that he made his decision after he made two visits to the City of Refuge Church, near his hometown of Compton, near L.A., where the preachers eerily gave him the same message on two separate occasions.
You’ve got to be able to let the past go, and move forward to the future, he quoted Jones as saying. Two weeks later, Knight heard Jakes, who was visiting from Texas, say, You can’t keep living in the past. God gives you a chance to move on.
They talked about the same thing, and it felt like they were talking straight to me. 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.
The label, which birthed the West Coast hip-hop sounds of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, has been struggling in the last couple of years. Knight has been battling it out in Bankruptcy Court after being successfully sued by Lydia Harris who won a $106 million judgment against Death Row by claiming that her husband, Michael Harris, now doing 28 years in prison, co-founded the label and was entitled to a 50 percent stake in it.
Although the bankruptcy court wants Knight to keep operating Death Row under Chapter 11 reorganization, he wants to liquidate his publishing rights, pay off the creditors, and shut down Death Row Records.
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.
My approach to music now is different. I’m not Delores Tucker, but you do have to be careful what you say, 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.

Dang, first J-hud getting her "virtuous woman" on now Suge night potentially taking heed to the Gospel ? I pray that God does change his heart, as well as the hearts of those "secular rappers with dope music, who have that godly intuition but they don’t use it !" (Christian rapper named Shabach)
"Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect. "
Romans 12:2
