In this clip, R. Marcos Taylor takes a look back at the events leading up to the deadly incident that landed Suge Knight in prison. When DJ Vlad asks Taylor what was going through his mind knowing that Knight had just pulled up to the "Straight Outta Compton" set to talk about getting paid for the role that he was portraying and that the ordeal would go on to result in Terry Carter's death; the actor responds by stating that he doesn't believe that Suge intended to kill his victim but that he should have stopped his car once he felt something under him, instead of back his car up over Carter's body again. From there, the 45-year-old reveals that while he was preparing for the role of Suge Knight, he learned a lot of things about him that he wishes he hadn't. To that, DJ Vlad asks him for the craziest "Suge Knight" story that he's ever heard. Taylor declines to respond, stating that it's not his place to share such personal stories.
Lastly, Taylor shares his thoughts on the lengthy prison sentence that Suge Knight received by saying that the murder was unintentional and that he would have preferred to see Knight serve a five-year bid instead of the 30-plus years that he received.
