In a rare recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Suge Knight talked about the 20-year anniversary of Snoop Dogg's debut album, Doggystyle. The embattled hip hop mogul opened up about the tensions around Snoop Dogg and the record.  Knight said "Snoop is an artist that is a great artist. So it's good to give him his props about how great Doggystyle was. What made Doggystyle historic is the work on it. If you look at the album cover, everybody sued us and said it was degrading women. But even the guys who did the artwork, who wrote songs, who participated in videos, they were guys who were either wearing red or wearing blue. . . and it was a situation where they all got along. We'd go places and you might see twenty blue rags and twenty red rags. And that was never before seen."
