Eazy E Allegedly Wanted Suge Knight Dead

”I Should Have Let Him Kill Him”
Ruthless Records co-founder Jerry Heller is claiming that Eazy E’s rivalry with Suge Knight could’ve taken a fatal turn. In an interview with Prezident Bejda of The Murder Master Music Show, Heller said that Eazy was ready to murder Suge. “Eazy said, ‘You know this guy Suge Knight?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He says, ‘Well, I’m gonna kill him!’ He said, ‘This guy is gonna be a problem and I think I should kill him.’ I said, ‘Let me think this thing through. First of all, we’re doing million a month with six employees. We don’t even have a typewriter in the office. We’re the most successful start-up record company in the history of the music business and you want to kill this guy? That just doesn’t make any sense to me.’” “You know something? I should have let him kill him. You know? I would have done the world a favor,” Heller then said. “He would have done it for sure by himself. He always rolled by himself and he was fearless…I think that he was going to go do it. I took him seriously.” “He was right and I was wrong,” he later added. “I shouldn’t have talked him out of it. Ruthless would probably still be around. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube would probably still be with Ruthless. It would have been an empire.” |
Phil Knight On How He Became A Believer in Advertising
May 9th

Following his recent induction into the Advertising Hall of Fame, Phil Knight, Nike founder and chairman emeritus, sat down with Advertising Age to discuss the story of Nike’s success, and how it’s inextricably entwined with its brilliant advertising campaigns. Knight dispels the oft-told myth that he was averse to advertising, explaining that when he first met Dan Wieden — co-founder of Nike’s longtime advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy, and the person responsible for the brand’s iconic “Just Do It” tagline — Knight told Wieden that what he disliked was traditional advertising. “And so Dan Wieden with his creativity and intensity,” Knight says, “made me a big fan of advertising.” He adds that media buzz is a crucial component of Nike’s marketing efforts, observing that controversy, “under the right circumstances,” can be a good thing.
