Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight has put his Malibu, Calif., mansion on the auction block for a cool $6.2 million.

The sale of his seven-bedroom home comes as part of his Chapter 11 overhaul. Knight founded Death Row Records, a driving force behind rap's increasingly violent image.

But with the demise of Death Row, so too came the downfall of its creator: When filing bankruptcy papers, Knight claimed debts of more than $100 million with an estimated personal worth less than $50,000.
