Arrests Hurt Suge Knight’s Comeback

The Associated Press profiled how Suge Knight has had trouble getting Tha Row records to achieve any chart success since his release from prison two years ago. That of course has been hampered by returns to jail on probation violations. “He has to prove himself all over again,” said Erik Parker, music editor of Vibe magazine. “As time slips by, people care less. There’s no production, no real hits.” His spokesman Jonathan Wolfson reasoned, “Are we the Death Row of 1994? No. But we could easily get to that point again. Suge made it happen once, and sometimes lightning can strike twice.”
