Death Row Chronicles is the story of the world's most dangerous record label could only be told in a definitive 6-part documentary series. While Death Row Records boasted the success of Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, and Dr. Dre forged by unmatched creativity, the chart-topping and record-breaking sales came at a bloody, controversial cost. Part true-crime murder mystery and part hip hop drama, this compelling docu-series will comb through mountains of misinformation, uncovering key evidence and witnesses who will reveal the truth about the bitter rivalries surrounding its legends. The limited series will also celebrate the groundbreaking music of Death Row, explain how it reflected society at the time, and how it influenced some of today's biggest hip hop artists. On the eve of the label's 25th anniversary, Death Row Chronicles offers an unflinching look at the label and its legacy.

Competently put together 6 part documentary about the 'world's most dangerous record label' with it's founder (Suge Knight) being a member of the Mob Piru Bloods gang and hiring mostly people from the same gang leading to rather unconventional business-tactics ocassionally never shying away from violence.

While still having the proffesionalism to being able to belt out some of the best artists in 90's rap including Tupac, Snoop, Dogg Pound and Dre as a solo-artist.

The first part is about Suge Knight, the second mostly about Dre. The third mostly about Snoop. The fourth, fifth and sixth being heavily about Tupac and his life before, during, and aftermath of his death with Death Row.

Not too much new things revealed in terms of Tupac but then I've seen most docs on him. Most information in general is not a whole lot new but like I said it's well put together.

This documentary-series like the previous documentary-series WHO SHOT TUPAC makes it very well known that the only theory they believe in is the Greg Kading theory.

I did feel like Death Row Chronicles had more things to back that up though and made a stronger case for it.
