Founder and CEO of the notorious Death Row Records is one of many alleged "gang members" the city officials in Los Angeles banned from a neighborhood in Compton, California.

As reported by the Associate Press, the city officials requested a judge, in a proposed injunction introduced 01/24/08, that members of the street gang "Mob Piru"be banned from staying out past 10:00 PM, drinking alcoholic beverages in public, carrying weapons, or congregating in general.

Marion "Suge" Knight was just one of an estimated 200 people included in the injunction. The Death Row Record mogul said the proposed order was "crazy" and referred to it as a "publicity stunt."

Death Row Records, with infamous tactics of Suge Knight, spawned a generation of hardcore, gangster rap. Many famous artists such as DJ Quik, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, and Daz owe their roots to Death Row Records.
