Death Row records is an idependently owned, African - American record company
founded in 1992 by Suge Knight, chief executive officer and former president
Andre "Dr. Dre" Young. The lables artists are among the most popular
in the music industry.
Its success as an idependant record company is virtually unparalleled. Since
its inception, Death Row Records has sold approximately 26 million records
accounting for gross recipts in excess of $170million. Although Death Row
Records artists roster includes significant talent in the Rap genre, it also
releases rhythm and blues music.
Rap is a style wherein a combination of talking and, as well as singing, is
set to hip-hop music. Death Row Records principal artists, most notably Snoop
Doggy Dogg, 2Pac and MC Hammer have "crossed over" from appearing
regularly on the rap charts to noticeable appearances on the R n B charts
as well. The Charts are an expression of the sales and popularity of various
forms of recorded music.
Much of Death Row Records music chronicles the observations and experiances
of young African-America, often describing situations which occur in the urban
ghetto of this country. These obsevations and experiances represent a part
of life in America that is non-mainstream and that the govenment, prior to
the popularity of rap, was able to control, limit and keep from the middle
class. The current appeal of this music to suburban America has caused great
concern to the government, politicians and others, looking to benefit and
capitalize on these events.
In 1996 Death Row was considered gone Dr. Dre left the label and he decided
to live a normal life then the artist that hook up Death Row to a high level
of sales was shot to death by an commend form his on boss Suge Knight the
problem is that Tupac wanted to get his on label ( Amaru Records ) when Suge
heard that he decided to kill Tupac by commanding a unknown man to kill Tupac
.
After a few moth Suge Knight was declared guilt as crime then Snoop Doggy
Dogg left the great Label Death Row the label was left alone !

Back from Jail to disaster Suge Knight change the label name to Tha Row then
started to form a new Tha Row roster Suge Knight got mad when Dr. Dre left
and when Snoop Dogg left so he started to use his site www.tharow.com
into a battle filed against no reason over Dre and his Aftermath Crew and
