Classic article about Death Row Records in New York Times
Read the whole thing here. Published January 14th, 1996.
Describing a young Snoop Doggy Dogg:
“Snoop Doggy Dogg has mystery. He’s got that star thing — aloofness mixed with grace. He’s smooth. He almost glides when he walks. He’s gliding now across Monty’s, one of Suge’s favorite restaurants. Snoop signs a few autographs (“I’ve got the longest name of any rapper”) and stops at the bar to watch the football game on the TV. “Is Suge here yet?” he asks one of the friends he arrived with. “Damn — Miami is losing?”
Suge and Tupac mention Faith Evans:
“Tonight Suge is wearing a new maroon suit with a matching fedora. The rest of the Death Row posse are wearing red and black — black pants or red pants or black blazers or red blazers. Tupac is the only one in a different color: he’s wearing an elaborately patterned gold shirt and baggy jeans. “The wife of a top rapper bought this for him,” Suge says, razzing Tupac. “Who’s that?” Tupac smiles. “His name is an acronym.” Suge smiles. “Notorious B.I.G.’s wife, Faith Evans.”
