Okay, so I've officially died and gone to hell.
I actually agree with Suge Knight.
I was in the supermarket and passed the magazine stand. There it
was. The October issue of XXL magazine with a scowling Suge Knight
and Petey Pablo on the cover.
Now this is the same magazine that featured a "prison issue" with 50
Cent and Tony Yayo on the cover. I'm still bristling about that
issue. So there was no way I was going to buy this magazine, right?
Wrong. Hey, the way Suge looked on the cover, I was scared NOT to
buy it. What if the guy found out I passed this stand and didn't cop
this issue?
Besides, the tease indicated Suge had quite a bit to say: "Suge
Knight denies Biggie murder accusation, calls out Snoop, accuses Dr.
Dre of snitching, questions Eminem's past, attacks The Game, wants
to sign Shyne and praises his new protege Petey Pablo."
Kind of hard to pass this one up.
And so, right at the top of the interview, Suge let Eminem have it.
"This is a guy who as an artist comes out and says all black women
is n*gga b*tches and gold diggers
