Snoop Dogg joined The Breakfast Club‘s Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee for a video interview earlier this week where they talked about Eminem and Dr. Dre, his recent Verzuz battle with DMX and the forthcoming docu-series on Master P’s label No Limit Records.
During the conversation, Snoop admitted Master P essentially saved his life by talking him out of putting out an album called Fuck Death Row. This was obviously after Snoop left the Suge Knight-helmed imprint.
“Do you realize that that saved my life?” Snoop said around the 45-minute mark. “Master P saved my life. I was gonna put an album out called Fuck Death Row and Mack 10 was gonna give me a million dollars to put it out. I would go up there [to the office] to see Mack 10 and when I would go up there, I would have to pass by Master P’s No Limit shit. I passed by one day and Mystikal was in there.”
After one particular studio session, Master P asked how much money Snoop wanted for his work. At the time, Snoop was nowhere near the cultural figure he is today, so he replied “15,” meaning $1,500.
“I come back the next day, Master P wrote me a check for $35,000,” he said. “So I’m like, oh, I like this nigga’s style. He called me to his office, he said ‘What you working on?’ I said, ‘I got this album called Fuck Death Row. This muthafucka hard.'”

But Master P thought it was a terrible idea. Snoop explained the No Limit boss closed the door to his office and warned Snoop, “You ain’t gon’ live to see that album out.” So, Snoop ultimately decided to shelve the album. The Doggystyle legend conceded the album idea was “stupid” and led to nothing but “mass destruction” He concluded, “Thank God for Master P.”
Watch the full interview below.
He is thanking Master Plan for saving his life but kept fronting as if he could go pound for pound with Suge Knight. Let’s just pretend we don’t know that he tactfully dodged one rainbow-coloured hair rapper. And I am not even a fan of the latter.
Nobody was ever dodging the rainbow haired kid.
I bet that album was better than “Da Game Is to Be Sold Not to Be Told” tho, cause that shit was dumpster juice.
It was hated on when it dropped but it has aged really well. It’s one of my favourite Snoop albums easily.
That album was a classic
I listened to to that shit all the time..but damn, it was corny as hell
What’s with black people using Da instead of The? So ignorant.
Shut your bitch ass up!
What’s with cornballs hangin out in the comment section of a hip hop website asking dumb questions about our slang? If you’re so confused, I’m guessing you hate all hip hop. Why are you here bitch?
That album has Still a G Thang, 20 Dollars to My Name, Tru Tank Dogs, See Ya When I Get There, Woof, Hows Money & Clout just to name a few. Great album.
Wouldn’t that be shitting on ur legacy?
Yeah right, Chicken shit snitch ass sell out wasn’t gonna do shit at that time cuz Suge still had niggaz in the streets that would have handled him just like Biggie and he knew it, that’s why he punked out.
Hell, Master P had hitters too. P just was rightly saying it would have been bad business. Snoop recorded a shit load of Death Row diss songs before he got off the label that you can dig up. It just wasn’t good music, and at least P understood the shit was wack.
That No Limit snoop album hard as F. Fuck y’all
Hell, he was making diss songs when he was still with Death Row. They’re floating around out there. They’re terrible, but they’re out there.
Hahahaha…he wasn’t gonna put that album out, P was just telling him what he already knew. Dude was shook of Suge…he went from gangsta to pimp when he left Death Row. I believe he was making the album, but he wasn’t gonna drop that shit…why even bring this shit up now anyway
Damn, P may have been the reason he’s alive and doing Martha Stewart shows til this day.
STILL HERE, AND YOU STILL A BITCH!!!!!!
Only person that was dissing and saying Fuck Deathrow when Deathrow was the most feared was the one and only EAZY-E. Snoopy why wait til Suge is gone for ever to talk shit. Cam’ron said shit to about Suge in a interview awhile BK. The boogie man gone so everyone bad now..
Wtf are you talking about suge was getting dissed left and right when he was out, daz dillinger was the one going the hardest at suge but snoop also was taking shots at suge, he didn’t drop the album but he didn’t scrap all the songs, pimp slapped was a straight fuck suge song, you’re obviously misinformed, when easy e was dissing dre they were still on the comeup, they weren’t that powerhouse yet and plus easy was clearly going at dre directly connected to their nwa past, not suge
I don’t stand corrected, but Daz was hiding in the south while dissing Suge. And by then Deathrow had really crumbled. Nobody was dissing Deathrow in 1996 or 1997. Snoopy came with pimp slapped in 2003 or 2004. Basically when Deathrow was on top of everything only person was EAZY-E. When Suge got knocked out by that barber and then got brutality beat up by Akon manager at that hotel Boone was scared of Suge. Even puffy combs got his balls back. I’m talking the 1990’s Suge. Only person was EAZY-E. And it really wasn’t in Music homie. It was a personal thing. I’m 38 I remember The Ruthless vs Deathrow era. Deathrow was on Top, not on a Come up.
That was released underground and snoop promoted in vibe magazine back in the day. Horrible album.
This guy is the most overrated rapper in history. He has 1 great album and 1 ok album in his entire catalog. The rest is absolute garbage. The way everyone acts like he’s one goats is kinda ridiculous.
Being a fan of a rapper based on his “gangsta realness” is kinda hoe-like. Or kinda Leo DeCaprio hosting a slave-on-slave “battle royale”-like.
