Dr. Dre has been known to bestow a few gems in his time, one of which includes telling former Death Row artist RBX not to accept any “gifts” from Suge Knight.
In a new interview with The Art of Dialogue published on Tuesday (December 27), the “A.W.O.L.” rapper recounted a time he’d been given a brand new 750 BMW by the Death Row CEO in 1995. While he initially accepted, his lawyer echoed prior sentiments from Dre about a Suge “gift” and he soon returned the new wheels.

I went to school with RBX and it's good he listened to Dr Dre

Suge Knight couldn't give me a stick of gum without me thinking there's a catch somewhere somehow 🤔.

[@tamirsharif314]

@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris Suge Knight wasn't the only record executive to give his artists gifts without there being a catch to it, that is a long old practice that has been going on since the beginning of the entertainment industry.

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

@tamir sharif I know its the gifts & promises made that get potential artists to sign their lives away.

[@tamirsharif314]

@@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris True, unfortunately the majority of artists when they sign a contract to a record label they are signing a bad record deal.

I wish somebody could make a good documentary about Suge Knight. Like how he grew up and then created a successful record label.

Those are very EXPENSIVE cars, and whoever accepts the car are owned by Suge, sure owns their life.

[@tamirsharif314]

Accept things and go forward, but first make sure who is giving you the car and why he is giving you an expensive car cause you might owe him a favor you might not want to do, and it may be too late.
