This is the motherfucker who offed Biggie and Tupac!! This the motherfucker made Eazy E drink his own piss! He fucking dangled Vanilla Ice out a hotel window and sign over rights to Ice Ice Baby! He paid some dude to sucker-punch Dr. Dre! He fucking called Snoop Dogg a snitch for the po-pos! And some stupid motherfucker went and shot him in the _leg??_ I guarantee Suge is sitting in that hospital room NOW, smoking one of those fat-ass cigars (against hospital regulations and nobody with balls enough to stop him), thinking, “The world will bleed for this.” ---

> [@Askia](#): > > This is the motherfucker who offed Biggie and Tupac!! I don’t think Suge was the guy who offed Tupac, considering he was in the car when Tupac was shot and was shot himself in the same attack. [ ---

Nick Broomfield’s documentary, _Biggie and Tupac_, paints a plausible theory that Suge smoked Tupac killed to keep him above suspicion and to get ahold of Pac’s unrelased recordings, because Tupac was gonna bounce from Death Row. That’s just unproven speculation but Suge is not to be fucked with. ---

Some people deserve to be shot. Suge Knight is at the top of the list. ---

**Renob.** But you do not wound a dangerous motherfucker. There’s usually all kinds of hell to pay afterward. Remember Michael Corleone? ---

When I heard he got shot, I turned to my husband and said, “Everybody else gets shot in the head-- Suge get’s shot in the leg. There is no justice.” ---

Too bad there isn’t a Matt Murdock-like figure in the hip-hop business to beat the hell out of Suge and take over “Tha Row” as the new Kingpin. ---

Suge Knight cannot be killed. Neither can I. Oh, we can be hurt pretty bad, but we can’t be killed. Must be something about Vegas that does it to us. ---

> [@Askia](#): > > This the motherfucker made Eazy E drink his own piss! He fucking dangled Vanilla Ice out a hotel window and sign over rights to Ice Ice Baby! In all fairness, it was Vanilla Ice. It’s not like he dangled 50 Cent out the window. ---

I take this inept murder attempt as just a symptom of rap’s general decline in quality. [sub]kids today. In _my_ day we offed the mofo and he _stayed_ offed![/sub] ---

**Revtim.** Near as I can tell that’s just some private beef between the two, possibly part of a beef between Knight’s Death Row and Ruthless Records. This is the hardest rumor to verify of the ones I posted. Some say it was Puffy (or Diddy), not Eazy-E. I personally think it was E. ---

> [@Askia](#): > > **Fionn.** Well, you got me there. I just found that one funny. It is pretty funny. When people reminisce about stupid shit they did and wore back in 1990, Suge no doubt laughs his ass off about believing Vanilla Ice was worth threatening. ---

And whatever else Eazy was, he wasn’t a tool. “They made it eazy for me to come off like the enforcer / Mass murdering muthafuckas in the course of / An everyday situation where I would stalk by / Fuck a car, I’ll do a muthafucking walk-by” ---

A Theory: 1. Some rap-fan idiot (redundant?) misunderstands the phrase “pop a cap in his ass.” 2. Misses a little low. ---
