A Pitch for Push
Mar 13 2000 12:00 AM PST

 PROFILE
With its top talent gone and its CEO fresh out of prison, what's a record company to do? That's the challenge facing rap label Death Row Records and CEO Marion "Suge" Knight, who was released from prison in 2001 after serving five years on a nine-year parole violation sentence. Rappers Dr. Dre (who co-founded the company in 1992), Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Nate Dogg have all left the label, its biggest hit-maker Tupac Shakur is dead (although he continues to release albums), and Interscope Records has dropped its distribution deal with the company. Musicmaker.com (which has closed its business) struck a licensing agreement with Death Row that allowed it to distribute Death Row's music over the Musicmaker.com Web site.
