Suge Knight had an interesting interview recently with TMZ in which he discussed his New Year's resolutions, Lil Wayne and Drake. He also mentioned Tupac Shakur.

The most surprising part of the interview is that the Black Kapital Records head would even talk to TMZ — which has caught him in some unflattering moments before.

"I think that I'm doing extremely well. I'm happy to be doing well and whatever happens, happens."When asked about a recent Tupac documentary, Suge urges real fans of the rapper to start asking questions and "be more aggressive." -
