The Main attraction
In a press release shared by Blackstone, Snoop Dogg emphasized how excited he is to have acquired such a significant brand to the culture like Death Row.
“I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value,” the rap icon said. “It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me. I would like to personally thank the teams at Blackstone, MNRK and especially David Kestnbaum, who worked collaboratively with me over several months to make this exciting homecoming a reality. I’m looking forward to building the next chapter of Death Row Records.”
Founded by Dr. Dre, Suge Knight, The D.O.C., and dikk Griffey in 1991. Death Row has been home to some of the greatest West Coast rappers in hip-hop history. Snoop is one of those legendary artists who got his start at the label, so it’s only fitting that he will now take the reins. A source close to Variety also told the publication that this transaction might usher in the beginning of the rapper and entrepreneur acquiring the music rights from the label as well.
Along with this new acquisition, Snoop Dogg will also be partnering with Gala Games to release B.O.D.R on blockchain as an exclusive stash box of NFTs ahead of its drop on streaming services. When talking about blockchain and music coming together, the rapper said he believes it to be the natural evolution of the industry,
“If anything is constant, it’s that the music industry will always be changing,” Snoop said in a press release. “Blockchain tech has the power to change everything again and tip the table in favor of the artists and the fans, and we’re going to be right at the front of the pack with this Gala Music deal.”

A freestyle over a Tupac song, snoop comes out in a full suit to spit some bars and then Dre interrupts the set to play a brand new original track.
You would feel hope being restored to the world.

Snoop played the long game and won the war…
Full circle.
Imagine telling people in 1995 about what's happened between then and 2022:
Pac & Biggie were killed
We had a Black president for 2-terms
Trump was president
Wanda from In Living Color won an Oscar, Grammy (I think) and is the most successful person from that show, Jim Carrey included
Ice Cube would be performing at NASCAR races
Snoop Dogg would be best buddies with Martha Stewart and own Death Row, all while Suge is still alive
So is he leaving def jam then?
Is the logo going to be blue?
