Suge Knight is an entrepreneur in the
hip hop music industry and co-founder of
Death Row Records[?] with
Dr. Dre; the
record label rose to dominate the charts after
Dr. Dre's breakthrough success
The Chronic (

1992 in music). After several years of outstanding chart success for a roster of artists including
Snoop Doggy Dogg and
Warren G, Death Row Records disintegrated after Knight's incarceration on parole violation charges.
A physically huge man, Knight has been accused of acts of violence including forcing business rivals to drink urine and having extensive ties to street gangs[?]. Rapper Vanilla Ice has accused Knight of dangling him out of a window of a high-rise building several stories up.
