Ask yourself. If he owned the albums/masters, as he claims, why would he consider re-recording albums? I’m just saying….nothing he’s been saying is adding up.
Wideawake handled the Death Row catalogue the best, they actually dug into the vaults and gave people music they had been asking for. Problem was it didn't sell.
Snoop taking this shyt off DSP's and trying to make his own app and NFT shyt is only going to hurt Death Rows legacy in the long run.

he did say on DC he didn't own any of the masters

I thought he said he owned Doggystyle, the main one you'd want.

That would be fire move. I bet a lot of young LA talent would feel more comfortable rocking with the new death row over shyt like cash money west
I'm surprised to see how many people are in here openly doubting Snoop Dogg. Why would you do that? Also . . how do you not see that this is the future of music distribution?
He did say that he went back and bought the masters after first buying the label/name/brand . . . he essentially bought a trademark
Combined that with his input and the trademark now has value again. Clothing brand, streaming service, etc.
He likely got a loan against his business plan to revamp the label/brand and in doing so was able to get what he needed to secure the rights to the masters.
Very simple to see that this is the future

I don't like where this owning music discussion has been heading for the last couple years at all.

You don't re-record music you own the masters to. It makes zero sense and literally everybody rerecording things are doing so to gain rights of the new version in hopes ppl will listen to that over the old version
Because it's not. Has showed zero signs of being so and I bet you couldn't tell me why.
Because he's been obviously getting paid to promote web3 shyt he doesn't understand or care about from this nft shyt to those scam "metaverses" where you buy land and shyt.
All of these celebs are being paid for it or are being ripped off. You seriously haven't seen just how far the nft scene has crashed in the past few months between thefts, nft holders being caught shifting them around to boost value, etc
Facts.
It's probably easy to see the value once these projects are being described to you by the top people in the field. As far as anyone in the universe goes, Snoop Dogg is the most likely to be there if you pay him to be. I'm sure he's not that into having some property in some online Sims/Neopets type thing but that doesn't negate the value of it's the development, it just shows that people are heavily invested in marketing this stuff and their specific projects, putting Snoop Dogg alongside them adds value to those projects and he is probably pitched with investment opportunity that results in a symbiotic relationship between the growth of the brand . . . regardless there is definitely an upside to the advent of this new technology and I would have no doubt that Snoop sees that and his plan to have the #revamping Death Row on the blockchain will be the first steps of the future. I guarantee you that Prince would've been very interested in these methods of release and distribution
When I say revamping . .
The NFT world is really just digitized smart contracts which will be the underlying basis for the future of digitized media distribution. I've currently not seen anything in the NFT world that looks like anything more than micro-brand versions of Hello Kitty, seems like adults reconnecting with characters that may of intrigued them when they were child. Even as far as Hello Kitty goes I don't understand it beyond seeing it as a widespread logo, as far as I know therein lies the value. If you follow this through to it's logical conclusion and blow it out full-scale . . . if we really want a metaverse worth spending time in we are waiting on a GTA Online based virtual reality which is probably around the corner

This is a better direction that what we had before. Today's future is brighter than yesterdays' streaming model.
The whole business model of streaming was based around a well-organized collection of music files along with their streaming rights - that then upholds a platform for data-harvesting to analyze user trends and making sure that you hear an advertisement while you are trying to play your favorite song during an acid trip
Keeping your own collection of music is the equivalent of having your cryptocurrency in self-custody
he was trying to but it cost too much. so he just bought death row's catalog:
