It’s no secret that former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight has a fondness for running up on video shoots unannounced. In fact, the former music exec is currently awaiting trial for murder after showing up on set for a promo shoot for the N.W.A biopic, Straight Outta Compton.
In a newly released interview with the Murder Master Music Show, D12 lyricist Swifty McVay recalled Suge pulling a similar move at the video shoot for 50 Cent’s 2003 song, “In Da Club.”
He explained that Suge and crew showed up on set trying to intimidate people because of 50 Cent and Eminem’s ties to Dr. Dre.
“We was at the ‘In Da Club’ video shoot,” Swifty said. “And we was all outside the trailers. And Suge Knight and his people came to the video shoot trying to intimidate everybody. And we looking like ‘Man, we from Detroit. We ain’t in this mess.’ So, we ain’t running or running to no trailer. ‘Cause they ain’t trying to see or say nothing to us. But us being in the mix of things, it just felt crazy.”
“You ain’t got no business trying to come and run us nowhere, so we ain’t moving,” he added. “We have been in that type of situation where we felt like that. We was just worried about my mans. Em ain’t have nothing to do with what was going on out there.”
In regards to Em, he says the Detroit legend was pulled into Dre’s longstanding feud with Suge “by default.”
“Em was pretty much guilty through association,” Swifty said. “Dr. Dre inherited this beef from Suge and all that. And here comes Em being with Dre. So, he kinda got pulled in it by default.”

Health is wealth. Money has nothing to do with health/LIVING. you can’t take money or material things with u when you die. Take care of your bodies, people.
Drugs, age, stress, being a workaholic and genetics.
Plastic surgery. Nigga look like he a wax figure from Madame Tussaud’s museum lol
Em the best of all time … at rapping about not liking his mom, wanting to cause great harm to his bm, calling ppl a word that rhymes with gadgets (starts with an F), dissing Britney Spears, boy bands, cramming a bunch of words together really fast.
“We from Detroit.” When you’re not in your hometown, no one gives af where you from.
It was said in context. Meaning whatever Suge was there for had nothing to do with them, and that being said, they weren’t running. They didn’t use the fact that they’re from Detroit as some kind of warning.
Once again the good ole boys @UGS4LIFE deliver the good stuff
Salute and respect homie

I wonder why anyone would ever want to harm Suge
Em looks like he’s wearing makeup? Pasty AF.

The only rappers I’ve heard that have stood up to suge was Master P and Bone thugs
And Eazy of course. Heard rumors that dre, Snoop, daz, kurupt feared suge for years don’t know why though. Suge was never a real ganster, he was a football player only starting claiming blood after college.
Nigga who surge did not run upon, thinking niggas were all scared of him and his crew, which most niggas out here are, they will never ride on the next man by themself, always have to have a crew, surge, dre, 50 and em all them niggas are punks
