Although Death Row Records is mostly remembered for its brutal business tactics and bullying CEO, Suge Knight, photographer Simone Green reminds us that Death Row Records had its bad and its good side. Green is set to release a memoir of her time as personal photographer to the label and its artists in her book titled, Time Served at Death Row Records. The book chronicles her time of capturing photos of some Hip Hop’s greatest including Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, Warren G, MC Hammer and the legendary Tupac.
“Not to give it all away, but I met Tupac after I drove from Detroit. He was one of the first set of people that I met when I went back to California the last time and we ended up hitting it right off and I ended up spending time and being friends with him”, said Green about her relationship with Tupac. Time Served at Death Row Records hits stores January 13th.
