In a recent interview,
Jerry Heller revealed that the late
Eazy E planned to kill
Suge Knight. Jerry Heller and
Eazy started Ruthless Recods together back in 1986. Ruthless Records major act was NWA (
Ice Cube, MC Ren, Arabian Prince, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E and
DJ Yella). Ice Cube left the group in 1989 when he claimed
Heller and
Eazy-E were cheating the group (NWA) out of money. And then,
Dr. Dre followed in 1991.
Suge Knight actually threatened
Eazy with his mother's life before he could get
Dre out of the contract with Ruthless Records.
Suge and
Dre started Death Row Records in 1991 and created another legendary HipHop empire which included
Snoop and
Tupac.
Below are words from
Jerry Heller-
"Eazy said, 'You know this guy Suge Knight?' I
said, 'Yeah.' He says, 'Well, I'm gonna kill him!' He said, 'This guy is
gonna be a problem and I think I should kill him.' I said, 'Let me
think this thing through. First of all, we're doing $10 million a month
with six employees. We don't even have a typewriter in the office. We're
the most successful start-up record company in the history of the music
business and you want to kill this guy? That just doesn't make any
sense to me.' You know something? I should have let him kill him. You know? I
would have done the world a favor. He would have done it for sure by
himself. He always rolled by himself and he was fearless...I think that
he was going to go do it. I took him seriously. He was right and I was wrong. I shouldn't have
talked him out of it."
If Eazy-E had gone ahead with that, then there would not have been a man called Suge Knight around to bail Tupac out of jail in 1995, and make him go all out with the Biggie beef. And maybe Big and Pac would still be here. That's just my analogy.
