Snoop Dogg Still Negotiating 2Pac & Dr. Dre Albums After Death Row Deal

    Snoop Dogg acquired the Death Row Records brand earlier this month, elating West Coast rap fans. But it turns out the terms of the deal are reportedly still “being negotiated” and it’s likely several of Dr. Dre and 2Pac albums won’t be included. According to Billboard, 2Pac‘s Death Row albums All Eyez On Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory are technically “no longer on the label,” meaning Snoop wouldn’t have access to them.

    Similarly, Dr. Dre’s 1992 solo debut The Chronic — another Death Row release — might not be returned until early 2023, which would inadvertently make Snoop Dogg the best-selling artist on the roster. As explained in the report, specifics of Death Row’s catalog portion of the widely publicized deal are under negotiation so until the deal closes, MNRK Music Group and investment firm Blackstone are still the owners of the Death Row catalog entries.

    Death Row Records has exchanged hands numerous times since its 1990s inception and Snoop Dogg is just the latest person to step in. Snoop acquired the Death Row brand from MNRK Music Group (formerly eOne Music), which is controlled by private equity funds managed by Blackstone.

    “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,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement. “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.”

    Snoop Dogg released his Back On Death Row (B.O.D.R.) album earlier this month via the iconic label and Create Music group. He also joined Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige for the historic Pepsi Halftime Show during Super Bowl LVI on February 13.

    1. geez thats huge. He wont get access to 2pac albums. The chronic album until 2023 when the hype of the super bowl has died down. At least he owns his masters on the label and Dogg Pound.

    2. imagine if he could control some of 2pac songs …he would find a way to remix his vocals and add Puff to it

      nah stay away from Pac …just bring back the dpg,remix the 213 album and finally sign Warren G to death Row

    3. It would be nice to get all the og unreleased pac songs that you could only find on bootlegs at swap meet released. Not the those trash death row remixes that were released after he died.

      1. I’m making 210 D0IIars an hour w0rking from h0me. I was sh0cked when my friend told me that she was maklng D0Ilars 17365/m just from her h0me 0nLlne. Then this completely changed my Llfe.

        F0r Details……..Vlslt Thls page…………. EasyWays50.surge.sh

    4. So Snoop acquired his first 2 albums, the Dogg Pound albums, Murder Was the Case plus other soundtracks and Lady of Rage album

    5. Snoop didn’t acquire any of the catalogue. That would be a 100 million dollar deal or
      more. He dont have that cash in the bank.

      But getting off the subject a bit. I cant fathom why Dre didn’t pay Eazy E homage. That would have been a blessing to his
      Kids. But he can pay Pac homage. The man who called said, “Califonia Love part 2. Without gay ass Dre before he passed.

      Eazy put Dre on the map. Made him who he is today. But all he did was distance himself from Eazy E and NWA since beats by Dre.

      Wouldnt promote the movie as far as shows or music wise. Money make nicca act real strange…smh!
