Suge Knight's Death Row Earnings & 2Pac's Property Dilemma - Shocking Details! 

They're making good money. Just didn't know how to save and invest.

That's great money for the 90s!!

If i was getting 75 thousands dollars a every month i would let that money grow, plus Tupac went from getting 10 thousands dollars to 20 thousands dollars every week by Suge Knight, Suge wasn't cheating Pac nor any of his Death Row artists.

I remember making $12 an hour back in 1997, and I was set with my own apartment. Made about $480 a week before taxes.

That part for my ninjas that know

@@TheQuincyEdwards back in the early to mid 90s, a nice apartment in Texas was around $450 a month.

The point being 2Pac didn't live long enough to get most of his money. He he had lived he would have seen the big money.

@@robert5235 of course but I'm just saying if 2k was what average working class was getting a month imagine $70k.

It's not even twice as much in 2024

Exactly💯...... 75,000 in 1996 is worth 147,426 today.

Facts that’s equivalent to about 200,000 right now

wtf would pac have an allowance smh he was the cash cow He didn’t need advances

@@lukelucky1311you understand that the music game they have to wait till the money is recouped first. So all the money they get before hand is before the music even made any money.

Great point and truthful

That's why hip hop today is sample free. Might not sound as good to my ears or others from the old skool era but they get ALL the money.

@@TonyMontana33452 it sounds awful. Nothing released these days sounds as good as 93 till infinity. And though they were sampling they did interesting things with those samples. I’m not sure how many are actually in it for the love of the art.

Technically Pac was sending money to the Panthers. NoT to mention the political prisoners being held

And live where?That's no money.

What you mean they had places to live deathrow paid for everything and that monthly check was spending money

​@@Kali_Bleuuyou're tripping. People can survive on that, some even less.

When you are generating multi millions?

​@Kymillion07 that's over 30 dollars and hr. Wth you talking bout

Not true dude lied to you. I was 25 FKD up credit score 515 challenger was 38k the madee put down 15k and financed it for 45k. If your credit bad you just pay more that's all. If you have money why the hell would you have bad credit when you could just buy stuff and report it crazy

You are absolutely right

You are right bcuz i tried the same thing and he told me he would still have to run my credit and im like are you serious i wanna purchase it straight out and he was like yup...back in the days you could do that with str8 cash but not nowadays

@@KylieRyan-hb9mz some people will have money and bad credit and not try to clean their credit.. personally if I was rich the first thing I'd do is go fix it all including medical bills.. I don't wanna owe anything.. But i guess it depends on the credit too.. yes if u got bad credit u end up paying more in the end especially for down payment but some places are really tight on it.. it was a auto dealership in Palm springs.. they only sell Old classic cars and everything they have are damn near show room quality cars.. looks like perfectly restored cars. The car I was trying to get was a 1963 ss Chevy Impala convertible.. it was white.. s beautiful white color too.. that car was so clean including the chrome. Maybe the dealer I talked to That day wanted that car for himself and was saving up for it 😂

In America Cash is King Period I have gotten any car I wanted with Average Credit and Money You Good facts

Right my lives comfortable making 10K a month right now.

🤣You still haven't worked him out.

@@user-ce1nf1fx2z 😂😂😂

Jimmy hats, friend...

@@IceManLikeGervina lot were lies

@@themack74 I don't think so... Pac was knocking down females left and right. He was a superstar rapper as well as a movie star... plus he was very charismatic.

Thank you.

@@reggiewright there is a difference between not being able to pay and not paying

how you know😂

@@reggiewright Wesley could have and didn't

Fugees didn’t sell 20M records

PAC as brand was worth way more to death row and PAC knew it. The record sales was a small percentage of why death row wanted him. PAC had movies lined up, book deals and his own record company which I’m sure death row would’ve had a stake in. They kept him in debt so they could be apart of the brand. Oldest game in the book.

Well over $2 million, his bond was almost $3 million, that's why people kill me saying he was leaving death row he couldn't

@@kerry2921 His bond was 1.5 million

@@NinodaBlogger different articles say different numbers but it definitely wasn't that low I know, I've never seen that number before,

What law sue he had they tried to destroy this man the ELITE kno his background that rape case was bullshit and u kno what I ain't never heard nobody talk about someone who supposed to b dead over 25 years they still talking about pac

Mr thug life was not very smart

​@@themack74 Mr thug life was a kid an adult for about 5years and accomplished way more than you and your whole family at that age ,. You commented but yet got no money probably

@@gopatriotsknox9259 so, you call getting an A.A.S., a B.S., and a J.D. accomplishing nothing? lol. Ok. I am not rich, but I am not struggling. By the way, I also am self-taught at songwriting and recording. It is not hard. lol. Everything is in my name. I NEVER went to prison, and I still am alive. However, you are right. PAC beat me. To death. He died before me. lol. Stop. We are not in the same league. Now, say some more ish.

@@themack74you ain't got all that cause you wouldn't be on here commenting if you did

Even if it did they have to split it up with the group.they were getting less then a dollar a album.

PAC's music lives because of the quality of lyrical content

he had two number one albums that year (same year that the fugees dropped their album) one being a double album… he definitely stood out that year. not to mention dropping hit em up summer of that year (96)… made him even bigger

he was the biggest rapper in america at the time of his death, so it wasn’t like he was some d list rapper that only got recognized for his greatness after death… he died with 6 million records sold so obviously he was the hype

@@bossplayavon im not going to deny all eyez on me blew up huge, but bro he wasnt on death row for even a year. i have actual mini vhs tapes being 15 yrs old with all my friends smoking weed and you can hear all eyez on me on rotation in the background but its not the only thing people played. it was a banger of a cd everyone had but its not the only cd people played back in the day. so i totally understand he was big and famous, out of jail platinum album and then death. but people fail to recall them big ass cd cases we had that almost made us wreck while driving. that was a thing. having a entire cd case of other peoples music besides pac who were just as popular. and death row fell off quick and no limit took over then cash money. wu tang had their double album so did bone.

@@MrJamesradcliffe agreed, thats what i meant by hits basically. his lyrics hit home

Tupac already had his own record company- Out Da Gutta Records, with Interscope. He released Thug Life, Me Against The World on his label... and he directed music videos as well as acted in movies. Tupac was supporting his entire family plus a bunch of extended family and friends as well. The more you know.

It’s sad with 2pac he was so talented and loyal but most of everyone around him friends and family weren’t loyal or took advantage of his kind heart they took his kindness for a weakness. Years after his death he still has family members selling stuff he owned that they inherited to put money in their pocket

He was good at business he simply had issues and trouble clearly but he was making moves to get all in order …I think that’s Great business moves and also he’s loyal af and u know how loyalty works

@@reign3902if I said Tupac couldn’t play cricket you stans would say he was the best cricket player ever

Pac couldn't start his own company, he owed death row millions, Interscope was done with them and refused to give affeni a loan to bond him out, Jimmy lovine told Suge great you take him!

im a keyboard Gangster 👌🤙🤞🤏✌🤘👐 i am a crip

"Tryna make a dollar outta 15 cents"

Reggie just said they're getting $1 per album. Things were different back then.

@@LoveIsAllWeneed666 everybody didn't get $1 per album. Do your reservations if you don't believe me.

Fact but everyone will say he was robbing them just to follow the crowd for clout without researching

Exactly think about the ones who didn’t put music out produce hits or anything. They were basically getting free $$$$

@@krazyaproductions2352even Danny Boy admitted he was living like a superstar but did the bare minimum at Death Row, this might sound good but the messed up part is that he was actually taking from artists who were putting out good work to maintain these bench artists, the money wasn’t coming from nowhere

@@thabomboneni2994exactly

Facts and there’s so much proof for that. First if you even go back to then times, death rows everything was on a different level, from the wardrobe, vehicles, jewellery, the videos etc.. and then compare it to the second biggest label and you would see the difference straight away. You could see and tell that death row was actually spending money. Secondly you can go and see everyone that got overpaid coz none of them made anything similar to when they was on death row exception being Dre. Coz his just as big if not bigger than he was back then. But anyone and everyone else didn’t do even close to the death row $$$. Thirdly, when you than calculate everything that’s public knowledge you will see that suge was overpaying them overall by at least a couple of millions. Back then a music video will cost a million dollars, then you have to remember studio time, licences, lawyers, accountants, security, cars, food, clothing, smoking, houses, bail, flights, holidays, setups, then workers that run maintain or are in charge of those roles, samples, advertising, marketing, merchandise etc.. and this is all before your music album has even made any money, everything you’ve been paid is based off of speculation. By the time your album has even recouped substantial amount of money, they’ve already been paid more than they would have made. Now if the music labels decided not to pay for anything before hand, and pay the artists at the end when the albums made substantial amount of money, most of these rappers by the end of it would end up being even more broke. They’ll be spending all their time paying for everything after they got paid they wouldn’t even be living as they did. We would see a more gradual grow in wealth by most of these music artist producers etc.. instead of a big mansion in the first year, we would probably see it in their 5year etc..

Didn't he take a pic in a tub. With jewelry on..... ayo pause

@@jcc3333and it was hard af. Was recreated by few artists after pac demise

lol. Pac would not have a clothing line, sneakers, etc. . Who would invest millions in the name of a convicted offender? lol. You all are delusional

@@themack74 These same people who watch RU-vid clips about him . People are investigating right now in a pathological liar, a rapist and a soon to be convicted felon named Donald Trump

​@@themack74 People invest in a rapist and a soon to be convicted felon named Donald Trump every day

Speaking of David Kenner it would be very interesting to see him do some interviews about the old Death Row days.

@@coreyrowe4119 I agree

@@reggiewright You're welcome Brotha

They had no fights over studio time, they didn't have enough producers, Dre wasn't working, They had way more artists than producers

that's it i don't think Suge stole from him but he just didn't live longer to get paid his royalties

​@mexia23 that might be right. I heard it take a minute to get your money. Pac just did not live long enough

@@reggiewright Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I misunderstood what you said in a past video.

That was the budget to run label

You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, huh?!

@@NoneofYabiz-rx3zi Why did you delete your covid comment🤔

@@melanatedwarrior3530 I honestly don't know what you're talking about. Trust me though, I ain't the one deleting comments. John and Redge, however, sometimes remove unwanted posts

Dude what county you grow up in? All eyes on me sold 10.6 million records and he was alive you tgoppi

Of what

Rap fool

What's judgements mean in realestate talk I'm from Ireland

Oj put things in his daughters name and he was in Vegas and had to do parole there

Lol. Huh

ALOTTA people were bigger back then....that's what we keep trying to tell the Stan's and Bots in the comment section...

@@Incredible_Geez yep. If you weren’t around in 96 than you shouldn’t even speak. The stans act like 2Pac came out and moved everyone out of the way, he did not. He sold a lot of records but he still had to jockey for position. Also, him putting out a double album was a cheat code. Had it only been one disc he probably would have topped out at maybe 2.5m at most. Meanwhile the Fugees were blowing him out of the water.

Tell Lauren that. She was broke n Pras had to scam. Where was that money at?

@@tonecorleone7592 they fucked off their money. Lauren didn’t pay her taxes and Pras had bread but got involved with people that he shouldn’t have. Wyclef doesn’t seem to have any financial issues so….🤷🏽‍♂️Also, 2Pac was caught up in string of legal issues and pretty much died broke. Had he lived and got everything squared away and paid off he wouldn’t have been balling out of control. Suge made him look like a star but behind the scenes his bread was fucked up.

I was living back then and NO they weren’t. Y’all gotta stop this stuff. They may have been on the same level but they were NOT bigger.

@@reggiewright - oh ok, that makes since. Because Tupac did say he was sending money to his family every month to take care of them. So I didn’t see how he could do that with only $5000. Thanks for clearing that up Reggie.

@@reggiewright - reggie, do you happen to know the last time Affini talked to Tupac before he got shot in Vegas?

@@reggiewright - the reason I was asking about Affini is because I have seen three different videos on RU-vid of people claiming they drove to Vegas with Tupac early Saturday morning of the day he was shot. obviously, Tupac could not have driven in three different cars to Vegas.
