Proof(From D-12) final interview. Talks about checking Suge Knight
- Thread starter Notorioushnic
- Start date
I remember this interview.
"Well, I was upstairs, and they said that Suge was downstairs. So I was like, I’m going downstairs! He’s with like two or three big dudes. When I came down there, Trick was already there, and he said he told Suge he’s gonna have to see me or something to that effect. I’m like, I don’t want to talk to that nikka. Then I was just chillin’ with some friends, and one of the dudes that was with Suge said something to me. I was like, I ain’t messing with that shyt. It wasn’t nothing. So then Kid Rock was downstairs. I love Kid Rock to death. Me and Bob go way back, and this night he decides to be the peacemaker. So when I see Suge next to Kid Rock, I wanted to post up just to make sure that Suge wasn’t trying no crazy shyt, you know. But he wasn’t. I guess they knew each other. Then Kid Rock says to Suge, “Hey, that’s my childhood friend. Proof! Come here! Come here!” I’m like, man, that’s fukkin’ Suge Knight. I’m not about to come talk to him. But I walk over there, and Suge sticks out his hand. And I’m like, “I ain’t shakin’ your muthafukkin’ hand. Get out of my face with that shyt.” He pointed like, “You, you, and you come outside.” I said, “Man, that’s the last thing you told Tupac, and we ain’t seen him since.” Once I did that, the way his face looked was priceless. I don’t try to tell that story too much, ’cause I’m not trying to be that kind of person. But I know the kind of people I’ve been around all my life. Most of the certain ones, I can put them in the same category, ’cause of this look that they’ve got. When I looked at Suge and that shyt wasn’t nowhere there, I was like, I can’t believe it. It was almost like a letdown. It was like, This ain’t the guy. This guy can’t be one of them guys. I’m not even one of those guys, but I know them guys, and he’s not one of them dudes. "
I've been looking for the interview with Danny Trejo(Desperado, Heat, Machete) where he pretty much sums up Suge the same way. That being someone frontin making himself look more sinister than he really is. Trejo has credibility too as he's actually in Edward Bunker's book, Education of a Felon and is mentioned as being in the bing during the same time the AB, La Eme, and BGF were establishing themselvs. I can't find the interview but he states that he knew Suge before he became "Suge". Said him becoming a gangsta was a new developement and surprising to him.
"Just like all that beefin’ with Suge, I ran into Chris Gotti the other day at the Compuware thing. Kind of the same thing Suge tried to do to me. I know the owner of the Compuware building and his wife, so I wasn’t about to tear up no shyt. You know they tried to rush me down in Miami. Which they didn’t do anything. I’m like 165 pounds and five or six of y’all can’t get me. They was all just DJs and kittens. [Laughs.] I walked out with scratches."
I always got the feeling Irv wasn't sh!t. 50 exposed his and his' crews skirt well before the Proof incident.

proof lost. his life. 
Suge seems like a bully. I dont doubt that hes whupped his fair share of ass, but most bully-types shy away from actual confrontation 
That said, a bit more rational behavior might have helped poor Proof in the long run

the young hiP hoP millenium generation miss the WHOLE whole point abt Suge Knight. the fact to them is this dude got knocked out by an unknown barber, who to this day, still remains unknown.
What u have to realise is Suge reigned supreme in the hip hop world when to rap gangster ish meant u had to live that life. Suge and Puffy between them controlled the whole hip hop & rap landscape. Suge is hiGhLy inteligent. He went to a state university and completed a degree in business management. Being a true gangster means to take caluclated risks, which when done doesn't seem like a smart move. All the westcoast rap stars spoke about Suge sitting on a 100ms in 1996 but dude was so up in the street ish that he knew unless he hit the pen he would get 187 eventually.
Now every wannabe knucklehead wants to speak about taking on Suge. it's all bs. Now ask yourself this question: 'where is Proof now?' Proof ain't here coz he tried acting the tough guy and got b?asted into the next life.
SuGe is here - still liVin & breathing, still enjoyin life. That to me is GANGSTER.
