Former Death Row CEO Suge Knight is currently behind bars serving a 28-year sentence for a fatal 2015 hit-and-run. But, the controversial Hip Hop figure spoke with DailyMail from the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego on Friday (February 1).
During the interview, Knight revealed there are enough unreleased Tupac Shakur songs to make an album. He also compared the slain rap legend to Cardi B.
“[It’s] not that they was bad songs but those are songs that ‘Pac didn’t want to be out on an album or want to be out,” Knight said. “When it’s time to do a real Tupac album, you get the right people that work with him, that he would work with, you know, like Drake or … Beyoncé likes Tupac music.
“He would definitely appreciate to see her with him and Cardi B is probably the most aggressive entertainer in the biz today. And I think she’s the female version of Tupac. Tupac with a skirt. Yeah.”
Knight also addressed his son’s recent comments about ‘Pac being alive and “in the studio.” Last month, Suge Knight Jr. shared several Instagram post insisting ‘Pac was working on new music.
“For me personally, there were sightings,” he said. “I knew my son was one of those times.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Knight looked back on a conversation he had with ‘Pac back in 1996, where the late Hip Hop luminary discussed faking his own death to avoid prison. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
“He had a real horrible time,” he said. “He wasn’t happy in prison, so he felt that he would never go back to prison no matter what. And then the other thing was that his nickname was Makaveli. Everybody did know that. He was all about Makaveli, and as you know Makaveli faked his death so he was always talking about faking his death before he would go back to prison.”
Knight won’t be eligible for parole until 2037.
uhhh…isnt he in jail rn?
Yeah that’s why the first paragraph says the interview was done from a correctional facility in San Diego.
Lol.. some people want to hate so bad smdh.. he probably read the head line & went straight to the comments
fuck this guy and everything he talks about
Suge is a dumbass. Point blank period. So his opinion means nothing.
Tupac wasn’t an ex-stripper industry puppet that the music moguls pass around. Pac actually had respect and wasn’t programmable. That’s why they killed him. Cardi B is a corny-ass joke. Isn’t she basically Nicki Minaj?
FYI: 2Pac was a mainstream rapper who sold his soul to a gangster named Suge. He had great songs, but in the end of the day he’s just another money hungry motherfucker.
As a teen he was a panther activist and in School took drama and then music as a way to get exposure and notoriety so he could use that for activism purposes not money. A few months before his death he started openly talking about how he was going to run for politics in the next election cycle and I think that is a big reason why he was killed, because he had enough of a following and he was determined to change America for young black men and women and he was capable, that I believe is why he was killed
That’s insulting to Cardi. How dare that jailbird compare her to a sexual predator like pac?
Fuck you talkin bout? Explain urself hoe
Pac was a convicted sexual predator.
Have you ever looked into that story? It’s bullshit. They did everything they could to lock him up (or kill him), because he was standing up to the government and taking too much truth. Don’t believe everything you read.
lets get one thing straight. 2pac was about modest living… then you have the likes of jay-z who are about megalomania.
Dont compare some sloppy hoe that makes headlines for complaining about her fat pussy sweating in denim to a political activist and one of the greatest and most felt rappers to ever touch the mic…
I see a lot of hate both ways , there’s is not one who Is perfect out of PAC cardi B .PAC really blew a chance to be a leader in our black world I want compare them
This should have been titled “Suge Knight Losing His Mine”
Do you mean mind? Or is he losing some kind of mine, like a goldmine?
I think Suge is having to much Pruno when he say that shit or maybe he’s somking that synthetic shit way too much. Femail Version of Pac smh
