DMC was recently a guest on Drink Champs and explained that at one point, Suge Knight wanted to sign Run-DMC to Death Row Records.

“Suge Knight was gonna put Run-DMC on Death Row Records,” DMC remembered. “We had a big meeting at Beverly Hills [Hotel]. This was before the downfall of [the label]. We sat there with him and he said, ‘I’m gonna buy you off Arista. You’re Run-DMC, y’all mean a lot to this culture.’ Suge Knight had right intentions… He used to just show up and come and sit down… He said, ‘We were just so amazed when y’all cats came from New York, we were so amazed to see how y’all just stuck together.'”

He went on to explain that Suge probably wanted Run-DMC on the roster to showcase the label's prowess.

“He said he was gonna bring us to Death Row because ‘We at the top right now and y’all should be at the top,'” he said. “I think Suge wanted to have Run-DMC as the holy grail.”
