Suge Knight argues that Tupac should have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, and implies Jimmy Iovine is a racist.

Suge Knight has a pretty villainous repuation in hip hop, and not in a good way. A big part of the reason Suge has been demonized is because of his rumored role in the death of Tupac Shakur. While we'll probably never know the truth, Knight is certainly still repping for Pac, recently arguing that he should be honored on the Hollywood walk of fame.

"I think Tupac should have a star on there," said Suge in response to a TMZ cameraman. "I mean, shit, Puffy got a star on there. Only thing he did was dance. So I think Tupac definitely should have one for being from the West Coast."

The former Death Row CEO joked that if it didn't happen soon, there may be serious consequences. "Yeah, they better do it one way the other. Because, I figure, if they don't hurry up and put Tupac on the Walk of Fame, all the Tupac fans and all the homies gonna start goin' down there and start scratchin' all the other names off. They might even remove Elvis."

Suge then revealed an inventive costume idea. "I'ma be Jimmy Iovine [for Halloween]," he said. "You're not gonna actually see my face. I'm just gonna have a white sheet on my head with the eyes cut out. Like the Klan."
