Welcome to Death Row
Welcome to Death Rowtells the unauthorized history of the most  notorious rap label ever. And what a story it is--the rise and fall of Death Row  and its power-hungry CEO, Marion "Suge" Knight, makesThe Godfatherlook  like a bedtime story. The film traces the entire controversial history of the  label and the impact it had on not only the music industry but American culture.  The film also details the relationship between Death Row and its biggest star,  Tupac Shakur, and the effect that Shakur's sudden death in a 1996 drive-by  shooting had on the label's fortunes (a story told in greater depth inThug  Immortal).Although none of the major players in this drama are represented on tape, an  alarming number of believable behind-the-scenes sources makes this a documentary  that goes a long way toward revealing the intimate connection between the music  industry and organized crime, and the desire for power and glory that drives  them both.--Chris Campion
