Snoop Dogg is still out here making moves decades after his introduction to our ears. His latest move had been the acquirement of Death Row Records. According to Complex News, ownership switched from the MNRK music group to Snoop. When Snoop Dogg first gained ownership of Death Row, he didn’t have some of the masters to iconic hits. The Dogg changed that, and now he has control over classic songs.

During an interview with Tidal, Uncle Snoop revealed that he’d had the opportunity to add more masters to the Death Row catalog.

 “I got The Chronic album. I got Doggystyle, Tha Doggfather, Murder Was the Case, Dogg Food, Above the Rim(soundtrack)…got all these records.”

The newly acquired records did have a chance to return to the original artist, but Snoop was trusted to look after them. He hopes that the same thing happens with 2pac’s songs released under Death Row. The 2pac estate is currently the owner of 2pac’s songs.

“As far as 2Pac’s masters, 2Pac’s masters came back to him last year.”

Snoop Dogg has plans to bring Death Row back to the forefront without its negativity. The CEO of Death Row plans to sign new artists, re-release classics, create EDM versions of songs, and push the label into the metaverse.

Snoop will have to balance his consultation job with Def Jam for another year while bringing Death Row back to the top. If anyone can do it, Snoop Dogg can. He has been known to wear multiple jackets at the same time.

We are excited to see where Snoop Dogg takes Death Row. Up has to be the trajectory for the label. The Dogg oozes excitement every time he talks about his new project, surely this excitement will flow to all areas of Death Row. There is not an open scope for Snoop Dogg to move mountains during his reign as CEO.

Snoop Dogg Dares Cancel Culturists to Square Up! They Can’t Stop Him

Snoop Dogg Dares Cancel Culture activists to Square Up! They Can’t Stop Him

Snoop Dogg donned his cloak of invincibility yesterday on a Clubhouse episode of “Behind the Vest” with Druski.

Snoop Dogg Keeps it One Hundred

The Dogg Father never backs down. He also ensures everyone recognizes he is the living embodiment of a legend. Legends rise above. In ‘”Mogul Talk,” Snoop proclaimed cancel culture couldn’t touch him. Subsequently, he dared anyone with a toehold in cancel culture to square up. He and his base of supporters were then ready to take them on.

“I wish a motherf****r would try to cancel me.”

Without a doubt, he is one hundred percent serious.

Cancel Culture and Snoop Dogg’s Stance

In a society rife with the desire to appease everybody, cancel culture steps in as the superhero. What is Cancel Culture? A University of Florida article contends,

“Cancel culture involves taking a public stance against an individual or institution for actions considered objectionable or offensive.”

The central idea is to remove the offending part from public platforms to silence them. But unfortunately, the impact can be brutal, as some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry have discovered.

What does it Mean to be Canceled?

The ongoing sentiment is when a person is canceled, you’re done. Struggling to get back is like rowing a boat against the current. However, this does not phase Snoop. He walks in the assurance individuals have complete control of whether they can be canceled. In the Dogg Father’s words,

“Cancel culture only works if you believe it when they tryna cancel you.”

As far as he’s concerned, he is the Snoop D.O.G.G., and cancel culturist can’t touch him.

Cancel Culture Comes Hard

Da Baby and David Chappelle, the two celebrities Snoop used to illustrate his point, have found themselves the target of cancel culture. Da Baby found himself under scrutiny following comments made during a Rolling Loud Concert. David Chapelle’s stand-up comedy presentation rubbed some the wrong way. He also fell under the thumb and ever-watchful eye. Even if Cancel Culturists couldn’t stop Chapelle, the vigor with which his removal was pursued was a thorn in the side.

Snoop Dogg Is Bigger Than Cancel Culture

Snoop separates himself from the two. He implicates no one can touch him. If they came for him, it would be useless.

“You gotta know that your base is your base. The Cancel Community is not bigger than my fan base.”

The point he makes is solid. The Cancel Culture activists lose if the artist’s support base outnumbers the forces bent on taking them down. One can only be canceled if their support base is convinced to withdraw their support.

Long live hip hop legend Snoop Dogg. His stance, immovability, and forward focus are inspiring. When you know who you are and your value, it doesn’t matter what others think.

Snoop Dogg Makes Bold Claim Regarding Death Row Records

Snoop Dogg

On a recent episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Snoop Dogg made a bold claim regarding Death Row Records. According to the Dogg Father, Death Row Records would prosper in his hands.

In the words of Snoop,

 “I should be running that sh*t!”

Snoop Dogg’s stake in Death Row

 

Snoop Dog’s roots with Death Row Records Runs Deep.

Under the helm of Dr. Dre and Suge Knight, Death Row Records began making power moves in hip-hop in the early 90s. The company is known for putting gangsta rap on the map. According to deathrowofficial.com, Dre’s Chronic was paramount to putting Death Row on the charts. Dre, along with Snoop, was the indomitable pair instrumental in the success of The Chronic.

Highs & Lows

The Chronic was not the only release to propel the company to the forefront. It was also Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle that solidified the company’s reputation.

But Snoop’s relationship with Death Row wasn’t always smooth sailing. In 1998, Snoop went public with his decision to leave the company he helped build. According to a 1998 article on mtvnews.com, Snoop Dog said,

“They don’t know how to run business. That’s why their business is gone. And I’m no longer a part of them.”

And that was only part of the reason that the Lion of Hip Hop left Death Row to join No Limit Records.

Snoop’s Proclamation

Now the Dogg wants to take ownership of what he believes he has rights to. And with all the bravado and chill that only he can come with proclaimed that under his charge, he could have flipped the company’s trajectory.

And given his overall success in whatever he touches, there is no sign that he wouldn’t be successful at the helm. Because in his own words,

“I manifest, I was told that I was a manifester,”
