MTV News calls it "Controversial…candid…revealing." Death Row Records exploded onto the music scene in 1993 with a 'Gangster Rap' sound that took the world by storm. Yet its unprecedented success with stars such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac, quickly unraveled in a firestorm of rivalries, greed, violence and scrutiny by the government and the media as CEO Marion "Suge" Knight's unconventional business practices increasingly mirrored the violent, hard-edged themes of its music.
