Suge Knight is up to no money
The toughest dude in the world named Marion is bankrupt.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday to avoid losing control of his Death Row Records label in a $107 million civil court judgment, his lawyers said.
Knight, who co-founded Death Row in the early 1990s and helped launch the careers of such rap stars as Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur, has failed to make good on a March judgment to pay Lydia Harris, who claimed Knight cheated her out of a 50 percent stake in the music label.
…Two weeks ago, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge said he would appoint a court officer, called a receiver, to take control of Knight’s assets, including Death Row, and directed Knight to disclose his finances in a debtor’s exam set for April 1.
Is anybody even on Death Row anymore? I was pretty sure that everybody in rap was ready to pop a cap in Suge Knight. He should be begging Harris to take half of the label, and then maybe he could convince some half decent rappers that he’s not a total douchebag looking to screw them over.
Oh wait, I forgot I was talking about Suge Knight.

Sitting on some of raps best and most popular albums including: The Chronic, Doggy Style, All eyes on me, and Makavelli (note: all eyes on me is 25x platinum) Suge doesnt really need to have any decent rappers to make a living.
