The Plan That Could’ve Changed The Music Industry FOREVER

In the early 2000’s it was rumored that Suge Knight who co-founded Death Row Records, J Prince who co-founded Rap-A-Lot records, and Irv Gotti who founded Murder Inc Records wanted to start a black-owned record distribution company. This might’ve been the initial plan but it grew to be something bigger. According to Irv Gotti, this then lead to the idea of starting a union for artists.

Suge spearheaded the plan and he went as far as to meet with the same labor organizers who helped set up the player's union for the MLB along with J Prince. However, after news broke out of this plan Suge, Dame, J Prince, and Irv Gotti would all deal with various legal issues.

Do you think this is a coincidence or suspicious?
