From the makers of
Thug Immortal comes this "Rapumentary" chronicling the rise and fall of
Death Row records. The brain-child of
Suge Knight,
Death Row blasted onto the music scene, virtually out of nowhere, offering up Compton-based gangsta rap from a stable of artists that included
Tupac Shakur,
Snoop Doggy Dogg, and
Dr. Dre. Using interviews with artists, critics, and
Knight himself,
Welcome to Death Row attempts to sort out the story behind the controversial company, addressing rumors of violent business tactics, criticism from political groups, and alleged involvement in the drug trade. Released in 2001, the presentation runs 104 minutes.
