However, Jr. also says he was "bored" with Rock's "Selective Outrage" special until the comedian mentioned Suge.

Few characters in entertainment have the same imposing personality as Suge Knight. He was a formidable force in Hip Hop during those Golden Era years, and the stories that emerged from his intimidating tactics are plentiful. Currently, Knight is in prison, serving a 28-year sentence for the death of a Los Angeles man named Terry Carter. Although he hasn't tasted freedom in some time, his impact on the industry hasn't wavered.

TMZ caught up with the Death Row icon's son, Marion, also known as Suge Knight Jr. He was questioned about Chris Rock's Selective Outrage mention. Jr. quickly noted there wasn't anyone like his father, nor had there been another with such a reputation. He also speculated about what Suge would think of the joke.

"Because, he's like, who else—we all know Suge Knight is that guy that's like, all about that action," said the younger Knight. "Whatever he does, he's gon' do that. So, it's just funny that, to see that Suge been in jail for a minute, but he still has this like, legendary status for who he is. It's just dope." He was then asked how he believes his father would have reacted to the joke.

"He woulda said, 'These dudes is not like me.' But he woulda laughed, though," Jr. added with a chuckle. "'These dudes ain't like me.' I was really bored with the special until that happened. I'mma be honest. I was like, okay Chris, cool, cool cool. 'Suge Smith." Oh, sh*t, oh damn! Okay! It woke me up. It's a refresher."

After joking about "Suge Smith" in Selective Outrage, Rock unleashed on his former pal.  “His wife was f*cking her son’s friend,” he said. “Now, I normally would not talk about this sh*t, but for some reason, these n*ggas put this sh*t on the internet. I have no idea why two talented people would do something that f*cking low down. We’ve all been cheated on, everybody in here’s been cheated on. None of us has ever been interviewed by the person that cheated on us on television.”

He further stated, ” She hurt him way more than he hurt me. … Everybody called him a b*tch, and who’s he hit? Me! A n*gga he knows he can beat. That is some b*tch ass sh*t.” Check out Suge Knight Jr. with TMZ above.
