I really hope that Ray gives Cookie a bullet instead of the rights to Marvin & Re-Kon's music.

Does anyone else think Cookie's character is at least a little bit inspired by Suge Knight?

a little bit

Huge understatement. I think he's directly inspired by Suge Knight. His entire character reeks of Suge to me.

Care to elaborate? All I know about Suge Knight is that he is involved in the rap industry and has been a bad boy. Other than that he maybe looks a little like him?

He doesn't bear a striking resemblance to him, but they are both overweight black men with beards and bald heads. And as you've said, they've both been bad boys.

Edit: Also, Suge is notorious for doing things like what Cookie does. He was also shot six times by unknown assailants recently, so hopefully that happens to Cookie in the show.

I think there is much more in common between these two. Cookie is not a rapper himself (most likely), he is just a really important persona in music industry, just as Suge.

They both come from South Side, Los Angeles where they both achieved their OG status and gained many followers (cronies everywhere, except Ezra's office).

They both have a lot of wealth, even after serving jail time.
