Great book, but HEAVILY biased writing.
This is a superb insight into the workings of Death Row Records, however, it is also heavily, heavily biased. It's not so much account of what happens, so much as it is Ro telling you a story of what happened, and then interjecting his own motivations and judgments of people's behaviour.Tupac, for instance, is given an extremely bleak characterisation throughout the book, with Ro attributing things to him and others that he couldn't possibly have known at the time, or now.It does someone detract from the documentary nature of the book, and would have been better if he'd left the Op-Ed out of it.

A Gangsta of a Read
This is a good book in which tells the story of how Death Row records was founded and funded on dirty money, corruption and brute force. There is a great chapter on how Suge Knight threatened Vanilla Ice and made him sign over the rights of 'Ice Ice Baby' to a man named DJ Chocolate who claimed to have written it. Anyway, Suge makes him drink Urine and then hangs him upside down out of the window a high rise building. There is also much more juicy inside gossip including why Warren G din't get signed to Death Row and also the effect that Tupac had on the record label. Get this book if you are interested in West Coast hip-hop and what went down in the 90's rap game...
