Interesting. I watched part of Tupac: Resurrection last night and heard that he paid $1.4m to get Tupac out of jail, but I wouldn't imagine he, or his company, has anything close to $107m.
#1 - Tue Apr 4, 2006 6:08 PM EDTThe record label was one of the fastest growing and most influential labels on the planet. They might have had that kind of money back at the height of West Coast hip hop and the coastal rivalry, but i doubt that they would have it now.
#2 - Tue Apr 4, 2006 6:24 PM EDTMaybe he should go shake down Vanilla Ice. I hear he has resurrected himself as a rockin moto-cross guy.
#4 - Tue Apr 4, 2006 9:34 PM EDTVanilla Ice actually gigged in Scotland last year with his rock band, but apparently he is trying to get back into hip hop. Suge Knight once dangled him from a Death Row Record HQ balcony to force him to sign for the label.
#5 - Wed Apr 5, 2006 5:00 AM EDTThat was why I referenced him "shaking down" Vanilla Ice :) - that image always makes me chuckle a little.
