Aristocrat Region: 7 Suge Knight vs. 10 Abraham Lincoln

What up mob squad, Emcee X checking in, bringing you the first of the many match-ups for Mogul Madness 09. First up, from the Aristocrat region we couldn't have asked for more of an epic clash of titans as we have the number 7 seeded gangsta kingpin, Suge Knight vs the ultimate union baller Abraham Lincoln.

Suge is one of the finest entrepreneurs of the music business, as he brought together some of the illest rappers of the early 90's with Death Row records. However, Lincoln is a god damn American Institution son. This man was responsible for putting the U.S. in check during the Civil War. So let's take a look at some of their credentials to see who gets to move in.

In a straight up baller move, Suge was responsible for a dope ass punk job on classic Nogul, Vanilla Ice. That is just classic thuggery at its best. Mad props go out to Suge for the mad hustle he pulled on Ice. What's also great about that punk job is that allegedly Suge mad his first fortune in music be making Ice pay him in royalties for "Ice Ice Baby".

However, what about Lincoln. Mob Squad you know Lincoln has his fair share of hustlin n bustlin under his sleeves. First off, this is one of the pillars of Moguldom, and that is if you can get yo face on some money than all the playa's know you mean business. Although the penny is probably the bitch of the coins to be on, the 5 dollar bill is nothing to mess with. It's no Benjamin, but it's something handled everyday in all sorts of nefarious acts. Of course there's the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves in non union controlled states. I mean, that's straight up Hustling son. The union didn't even control these states and yet they were passing laws on them. Basically Lincoln put Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee on blast and let them know who the fucking boss was.

What seems like a close match up at the beginning begins to lose the hype after realizing that no disrespect to Suge's accomplishments, there were also times when he was straight up just not being a mogul in any sense of the word. Not only was he a scrub and played games for the Los Angeles Rams during the strike shortened season but was on the Dean's list while he attended UNLV. You were supposed to be a running rebel Suge, not a running do-gooder?

Come on now, I don't even think Lincoln has to bust out most of his other mogul moves to break Knight's ankles. He'll save those for later, as Lincoln easily defeats Suge and moves on to the round of 32.
