Remember when people used to be scared of Suge Knight? These days, poor Marion is bankrupt and getting knocked out in the middle of the street. And now, the news has broken that Suge is suing Kanye West, trying to blame him for getting shot at Yes pre-VMAs award party back in 2005. Thats right, hip-hops big bad wolf is trying to claim that hes a victim of Kanye ****ing West. Wow. Is this a new low? Suges fall from grace is long and winding, and while we dont like to see anyone doing bad, its nice to see that karma will kick you in the balls (and teeth) if you **** around too much.

SUGE SELLS DEATH ROW TO NO-NAME INDEPENDENT LABEL
YEAR: JUNE 2008 WHAT HAPPENED: After incarcerated drug dealer Michael Harry-O Harris and his wife claimed that they raised the money to start Death Row in the '90s, a judge forced Suge to pay them $107 million.

When it went up for auction, The Row sold for a measly $24 million to Global Music Group, home to such superstars as Return of The Mack singer Mark Morrison. Were waiting for the 2Pac collabo.
