Stricklee Hip Hop Artist Promo & Mp3 Pool

While Tupac was recording his debut album with "Death Row," records, according to author Ronin Ro, his album took precedence over everything else and this caused resentment among other label mates.

Can-Am Studios was filled with a massive guest list which included: Rowdy gang bangers and security guards with guns. And, so many reporters were interested in interviewing Pac and Suge enjoyed standing near him, presenting himself as a sort of red-clad kingpin of crime as opposed to a show business guy with friends who rolled with street gangs.

At home, Dr. Dre was working on "California Love." He was finishing it, considering whether to use it for a new company when Suge somehow heard the song and felt it'd be a hit. Suge arrived at Dre's house. "Suge was like, 'Fuck it, we're putting Tupac on that shit, and this is going to be the single off the record."

Instead of standing up to Suge, Dre told himself this would benefit his career. He returned to the studio and replaced his second verse with one by Pac. He also let him ad-lib at the end and even joined him in the video.

But before he knew it, Dre heard Pac was badmouthing him all over town.

Suge sided with Pac and decided he didn't need Dre anymore.

The last straw: When Dre read a "Vibe," feature and was appalled. The writer described showing up at Suge's office and seeing a big German Shepherd rolling on the floor." One of Suge's friends said, "That's Damu," another word for "blood." He won't bother you," the guy added. "He's only trained to kill on command."

Then, while the reporter asked questions, Suge kept the dog near his side, baring its fangs and salivating; not exactly the best image for the company.

Neither was Tupac bragging, "Muthafuckas are scared shitless of Suge."
