WHAT HAPPENED To The Artists Of Death Row Records? 

Who's your favorite death row artist?

Michel'le's voice always amazes me she sounds like a cartoon irl but when singing her voice is so precious

Had Suge left the gang life behind he would probably be a billionaire by now and 2pac would possibly still be alive.

A lot of respect for Dre, he not only got out from under a snake but then launched and took others with him to greater success. Not everyone could or would have done it like that. Great collaborator.

There's no denying Death Row was a behemoth of a lable with some of the finest producers and rappers to have ever graced the mic. Their Magnum opus was 2pac. He took the lable to such dizzy and untouchable heights. There was only going to be one outcome ...

Kurupt is a legend. Period.

Death Row was the premiere rap label in the 1990's. The music dominated the rap and pop charts and has stood the test of time.

“I signed to Death Row Records to make music. Not gang bang.” 🙌🏽 respect to Snoop Doggy Dogg

It's so weird that Half of death row artists got sick or died 🤔

Man Kurupt is Too Underrated one of the best lyricsist of all Time

RIP Nate Dogg, one of the greatest to ever do it.

If 2Pac hadn't signed to Death Row, he'd still be alive. I believe if he'd signed to Master P and No Limit Records, he'd have never gotten in all that trouble. Master P would've never let that happen.

You can't forget to mention that Michel'le sang the chorus to "Run Tha Streetz" by 2Pac .. that's major!

Nate doggs voice will never be replaced or be able to be re-done

That was sad about Jewell. Had no idea she passed away :(

Sad Fact: 2pac didn't last a whole year on death row before he was killed! He was released in October of 95 dead by September of 96 RIP the 🐐

it’s a shame how greed can destroy such beautiful & influential pieces of history.

Everytime I hear Tupac's voice or songs they bring back a lot of memories of how life was so complex yet so much better. Just hearing that West Coast style beat productions made even us Northern Canadians feel like we had palm trees wearing kaki suits and chucks. Now in my 50's I still play a lot of Pac and the original Deathrow Records music from the early 90's.

Actually Nate had two independent albums out before he remastered The G Funk classics Vol. 1&2 for his own label 💯 His first official album was actually "Ghetto Preacher" (1998) & his second album was actually "The Prodigal Son" (2000) & both albums have every single song that he later put on The "GFunk Classics" compilation greatest hits album that you showed on this video!!!!! BTW , Jewell also did the "For The Love Of Money" hook for BTNH 💯 RIP to Nate Dogg & Jewell, they was the only real G's on Death Row Records!!!!!

Lady of Rage is one of my favorite female MCs highly underrated

Nate Dogg G Funk Classics is one of the Greatest double disk albums ever made.

RIP Jewell so beautiful and talented

Here's some corrections the group with Nate Dogg Warren g and Snoop Dogg is not 2013 it's 213 and Forest lawn memorial is not in Long Beach California it's in Glendale California... Dr Dre's first album from leaving death row on aftermath was "Dr Dre presents the aftermath"...

Completely forgot to mention that Lady Of Rage was also in the classic Next Friday

I love the group "2013"! 😭 It's okay If you didn't grow up on this music. You still do a good job informing the fans. Mistakes will be made. Just learn from them. 👍

LADY OF RAGE IS PURE RAP FYRE!!!

Man if Suge had his mind right he could of been the Berry Gordy of Rap. Had rap and R n B talent on lock. Kurupt is definitely underrated. Lady Of Rage wasn’t promoted right. She was before her time. Get well

Nate and Snoop’s group was called 213, like the LA area code, not 2013 like the year.

R.I.P Nate and Jewel. I hope lady of rage gets better.

Lady of rage will for ever be underrated.

And you left out RBX, I can tell this era was before your time. He was a big part of The Chronic album.

Dang I didn’t know Jewel died, I watched a Art of Conversation video of her not to long ago… Rest Up

Oh man. I still got all these albums on CD except Michel'le n DannyBoy's. Brings back memories. Gonna give em a listen now.

Kurrupt da kingpin will forever remain the rapper with the greatest and hottest rap bars ever on Death Row records. His rhymes were lethal. He is an underrated LEGEND.

Rip 2pac jewell and Nate Dogg y’all will definitely be missed

I wished Michel'le was protected by real man and was surrounded by positivity and good people. She has a beautiful voice and could of made good hits.

2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Michel'le, Lady of Rage, Danny Boy, Nate Dogg ..Jewell. Death Row Records, Thug Life, Outlaw, Westside. -Makaveli

Jewell... First lady of DR... R.I.P..

Wow!! Didn't know he was dead, R.I.P Nate Dogg 🇬🇧 ✊🏼

Great Video Comp. Man.,ThankYou !!

Actually Jay-Z was the first billionaire rapper. Dre's deal didn't pan out the way he'd hoped. He had a network of roughly 800,000 not 1b.

Gospel by Dre and Eminem might be the hardest track of 2021

Michel'le .. her voice was hillarious hahahaha

the production quality on this was insane man!

Thanks for this brotha

Congratulations on Snoop for all the achievements and dreams he has accomplished throughout the years. If only Tupac would have this much success. Good luck to the rest of the former death row artists on how to stay relevant and getting money.

No label could touch deathrow records! They had monster hits that are still appreciated & jammed today.

Its a mystery to me how michelle could sing like that while having the speaking voice she had

A more interesting question is what happened to artists of Bad Boy. They're either dead (Big, Craig Mac, and Black Rob) or got locked up(Loon and G-dep) or deported (Shyne) or left the label literally broke (e.g. the Lox and 112). The most successful Bad Boy artist is Diddy.

I miss old vibes ....

All of the Artists on Death Row ,were talented,Suge Knight ran that empire like a Evil Narrccist Thug,he should have been more business like than a RULER,, I've always loved 2 "Pac and Nate Dogg,,Lady of Rage,Snoop,,......Rest in Peace;;2 Pac Rest in Peace::Nate Dogg.🦋🕊🦋🕊

Kurupt was talented AF!!!💯🔥

213 is not pronounced "2013," like the year. It's "two, one, three." I'm pretty sure that's common knowledge amongst anyone who knows about snoop, nate, and Warren g, but maybe I'm wrong

Technically the reason Daz really went at Kanye it’s because someone made a tape sounding exactly like Kanye and there was something going on between Snoop and Kanye at the time but it wasn’t that serious but whoever made this tape and put it out there pretending to really be Kanye said a lot of stuff about Snoop, Long Beach and the Crips. At one point this person that sounded like Kanye and was portraying himself as Kanye was saying things like “I’m a god and what’s a god to a Crip?” Everyone knows it’s fake now but at the time there were a lot of Crips in Los Angeles, Long Beach , Compton , etc. that were pissed about it. The stuff about Trump was just icing on the cake that they could rub in his face but it was that fake Kanye tape that said everything off.

I’d love to hear lady of Rage and Rapsody do a project.

Great video

I had no idea Nate Dogg died! 😢

Please do a video on the artists at ruthless records. That was eazy e label. And 2pacs holligram was accurately scary. That's why the crowd was quiet as shit. Crazy as hell . 2pac 4ever

What a wild time. Never did I think I'd see rappers having serious beef with other rappers over what presidential candidate they supported.

Nate Dogg walked so Drake could run.

I can tell that even though you didn't grow up in this era of music, you've done some really good research, but please make sure to research the artists' songs BEYOND mainstream chart success. Black artists, especially hip hop artists received hardly ANY recognition back then (because, "ray-sizm"), so there were several artists that you low key played TF out of, that had songs that were quite successful amongst their immediate audiences (i.e., Miche'le's "Something in My Heart", that was all over urban radio for years), because you were solely paying attention to Billboard and other mainstream stats.

it is simply amazing how many people are capitalizing on death row and it,s former artist.

It's the same story. All the guys at Death Row made the the record companies millions and then their careers took a dive before the implosion.

R.I.P. Jewel Eazy e

I want to focus on Hammer.....alot people criticize Hammer for switching up to more harder appeal....You got to realize when Hammer did his commercial hits, Hammer was very young. I don't think he was even in his 30 yet when he made multiple millions. When he lost it all due to taxes, fake friends, & his over spending lead to his depression, which lead to take some time off & revitalize his career by signing with Death Row Records. Although he.put out some fairly good records on Death Row but it never matched the success of "Too Legit 2 Quit". When the nonsense came to Death Row, he did the smart thing & bounced.....I have so much respect 4 Hammer ! 💯✌❤✌❤💯

So essentially Suge was no better then Jerry Heller? Except instead giving them a little bit of money at a time he had his artists cars and other assets in his name. What’s the difference? Suge left his artists high and dry smh

Suge should of left the street life mentality behind for the most part then he would be one of the wealthiest musicians today yeah

“What happened to the Death Row artists?” The ones that were smart realized Death Row was an impending death trap and got out while the getting was good.

Awesome video. I just prey that Snoop makes a difference in Dethro. Hopefully now it’s known for better things than it was back then.

2pac

Just wanted to say these old school hip hop videos are awesome. Can we see more about Dre and snoop?

I've done work for Kurupt's dad. He lives in Palm Springs, California.

It's frustrating cuz we still have amazing gangster rappers till this day, but the mumble rappers and trappers got more attention, that's sad for the new generations

RIP Jewell 🙏

My favorite Deathrow Records artist is Tupac! Who’s yours?

Wow! Nice

Kurupt and Daz were still on Death Row through Tha Dogg Pound name in the late 90's into the early 2000's.. On Suge Knight Represents Chronic 2000 they both appear on several songs, inside the booklet (released in 1999) it says coming soon Tha Dogg Pound.. In Kurupt "Streetz Is a Mutha" Music video around the same time there's a part in the video they promote Suges Chronic 2000 by showing the album cover.. In 2001 Death Row released Tha Dogg Pound 2002 which features new music including a collab with Rocafella on a remix for Change The Game, and old never heard before songs with newly produced beats. It features Crooked I and other current Tha Row artists at the time like Tha Relativez and SKG, so I see this as Dogg Pounds real second album. It sold more and charted higher than the album that's supposed to be. Back in the day I used to see Dogg Pound 2002 the edited version up at Wal-Mart lol

Death Row became DEBT ROW, simple as that, that's how I've always seen that, anyway thanks for the vid bro, pleasure as always

And now we have his son Nhale who kept the legacy alive and put his personnal touch.

Kurupt was so underrated, his bars were vicious

RIP Jewel, Nate Dogg and Pac.

The 90s-2010 Rap era was 🔥🔥🔥

Dear Lord. These folks takin “Death Row” too damn literal.

The East Coast & The West Coast have like this weird marriage arrangement when it comes to each others talent. Check it yaw, The King Of Hooks goes to...... On the West Coast, that title goes to "Nate Dogg"..... On the East Coast, we got "DV Alias Khryst"..…. I would loved to seen a Nate Dogg & Khryst collaboration album or at least a song. On the West Got Snoop.... On the East we got Fabolous..... On the West they got Michel'le... On the East we got Mary J. Blige.,. On the West they Had 2Pac.... On the East we had Ja Rule.., On the West they had Ice T.... On the East we had Tim Dog.... On West they got Dr Dre... Here on the East we got DJ Premier.... The West got Da 5 Footaz (Shouts Out To Neb Luv.aka Dirty Redd...love you girl) On the East we had Wu Tangs Deadly Venoms..,(Musch love to Linque & N-Tyce) I always said the East & The West should back then kiss, hug, & make up.....let's make money, moves & babies together ! ⭐🔥💯⭐🔥💯⭐🔥💯 🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥

Can you do this with aftermath artists

Michle’le had a album in the early 90’s

Suge did something outrageous, don't forget that he was the main guy behind the Rampart Scandal, I dunno who I hate more, him or Puffy, but I think it'll be Suge, especially what I saw in Straight Outta Compton.

Yeah Gs..high five!

SNOOP DOGG POT FARMER DANCE SONG $$ I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot You better believe it held a whole lot. I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain. I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes They did nothing but give me regrets. My mom had arthritis could not walk around I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground. I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack After I smoked some to me it came back. Soon I decided prices were high I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy. I bargained for seeds from smokers all around Got in my truck and drove out of town. I walked through the woods where wild birds nest Found me the meadow I thought was the best. I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds. I watered at night with a five-gallon pail Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil. Seven months went by; I thought I would die Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky. At night I went out, in a camouflage suit Used my corn knife to chop down the loot. I hung it up to dry where it couldn’t be found. Came back and got it, when it had turned brown. I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags Called all my friends and passed out free drags. In less than a week my crop was gone I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

Could you imagine if Suge could have kept his ego somewhat in check. The music that man single handily stole from generations is crazy.

The group 2013 😂 You must not be a hip hop fan.

Man, half of these songs are in GTA Online His song with .Paak, Snoop and Busta is a real banger.

Great vid 🥳

This whole expose is full of misinformation. Calling Nate's solo career unsuccessful is total nonsense. "The group twenty thirteen" WTF is that LOL The whole "Daz was arrested for drug possesion" comment is misleading. It was weed. On another note-Kurupt did a lot of damage to his brain. His rhymes after Space Boogey album all sound weird and slurred and off. Even to this day sober Kurupt doesnt sound sharp anymore. His speech is weird and delayed and lacks crispness. It's sad. He was a great emcee in his prime.

good video

That "twenty-13" album is harder to find then Nate's first solo album. 😂😂😂

Snoop not only owns Death Row but also signed a Canadian Rapper. Hope Snoop does well with the label.

We miss u pac 😓

Snoop Dogg's dr.dre pac Jewell and Nate Dogg 👏👏👏👏

Nate Dogg solo shit was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
