Death Row Records - Welcome To Death Row (2001 Documentary)

Death Row Records - Welcome To Death Row (2001 Documentary) From the makers of Thug Immortal comes this "Rapumentary" chronicling the rise and fall of Death Row records. The brain-child of Suge Knight, Death Row blasted onto the music scene, virtually out of nowhere, offering up Compton-based gangsta rap from a stable of artists that included Tupac Shakur, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Dr. Dre. Using interviews with artists, critics, and Knight himself, Welcome to Death Row attempts to sort out the story behind the controversial company, addressing rumors of violent business tactics, criticism from political groups, and alleged involvement in the drug trade.From the makers of the documentary film Welcome To Death Row comes a book of the same name, detailing the raw, uncut, high-risk quest of telling the most dangerous story in the history of the music business.Featuring exclusive interviews, transcribed archival footage, and explosive commentary from the most powerful voices who sold nearly 50 million records and built a hip hop music empire to the tune of $750 million. Voices like Suge Knight, Easy E, Dr Dre, D.O.C., Snoop Dogg, Tupac, and more.Without Death Row Records, there would be no Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, or even Jimmy Iovine. After years of making music, the collaboration between Dre and Iovine led to the creation of the Beats by Dre headphones brand, which rapidly grew into a multi-billion dollar enterprise, later acquired by Apple, and led to the recent unveiling of Apple Music, with Iovine at its helm.Facing relentless death threats, music industry bullying, threatened litigation, financial extortion and street gang intimidation, Welcome To Death Row chronicles how Xenon Pictures, led by director S. Leigh Savidge and producers Steve Housden and Jeff Scheftel, navigated a surreal world comprised of Crips & Bloods, crooked lawyers, cocaine kingpins, ‘gangsta’ rappers and thuggish music executives. Their mission was to tell an untold story, but they soon came to realize their digging began to expose a group of people from humble beginnings who became untouchable millionaires capable of doing and saying anything they wanted.
