Suge Knight Cops A Plea, Gets 28 Years

Former US rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight has pleaded no contest to a voluntary manslaughter charge over a hit-and-run incident in 2015.

The Death Row Records founder made the plea to avoid charges of murdering one man and attempting to murder a second with his pick-up truck in Los Angeles.

Knight will be formally sentenced to 28 years in prison in October.

His record label helped launch the careers of artists including Dr Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.

He wasn't a record mogul. He was a gangster.

Dre, Tupac, and Snoop would have found another avenue for their success had Knight never even been born.
