Snoop Dogg appeared on a recent episode of The Breakfast Club where he told Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee about the time Master P saved his life.
Shortly after leaving Death Row Records in 1998, the gangsta rap pioneer was plotting an album called Fuck Death Row. Fortunately for him, Master P talked him out of it and Snoop went on to lead a fruitful life. Had he not, things could’ve potentially spilled out into the streets and there’s no telling where Snoop would be today.
During a new episode of The Breakfast Club, the No Limit boss was asked what “God told in him that moment to help Snoop.”
Master P replied, “I’m about doing what’s right, man. I told Snoop whatever you say about Suge Knight, that man did you put you on, put you in the game, so doing that would be a bad move because it’s all about integrity — you got to be thankful.
“I think a lot of people aren’t thinking like that. You got to be thankful for the opportunities. I told him. I said, ‘When you’re the boss you can do whatever you want to do. You need to go boss up now.’ We don’t need to be getting into it with other Black men.”
While speaking to The Breakfast Club trio, Snoop also noted Mack 10 was willing to give him $1 million to put out Fuck Death Row. At the time, Mack 10’s label Hoo-Bangin’ Records was under the Priority umbrella along with No Limit.
Snoop Dogg Says Master P Talked Him Out Of $1M 'Fuck Death Row' Album
“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,” he said. After striking a working relationship with P, Snoop told him about the Fuck Death Row album.
“I said, ‘I got this album called Fuck Death Row. This muthafucka hard.” But Master P warned him he wouldn’t “live to see that album out.” So with that, Snoop shelved the idea and kept it moving.
Toward the end of the conversation, Snoop added, “Do you realize that that saved my life?. Thank God for Master P.”

Bingo!!!
Cuz it would’ve been 95 (R.I.P Eazy-E), 96 (R.I.P 2pac), 97 (R.I.P Biggie), and 98 (R.I.P Snoop Dogg and Mack 10)… plain and simple.
Damn I wanna hear that album now. I hope it gets leaked 1 day.
It already has been…check Daz Dillinger Tha Row Killa DVD…wasn’t really anything great…forgettable really
Lets not forget these moves that master P orchestrated with snoop help put the west back on the map. Snoop connected back wit dre, 2001 chronic and marshall came then up in smoke tour and the west was back in the game. Master P help put the west back in there position. Not to take away who was holding it down while the west was battling for there soul. Hip hop owes so much to Master P it aint funny.
NO WONDER SNOOP DROP PIMP SLAPPED RIGHT AFTER HE LEFT NO LIMIT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS LONG OVERDUE.
Sorry but respect and gratitude goes straight out the window as soon as that person threatens to have you murdered, puts out albums full of disses and releases DVDs putting your address on blast. Get out of here with that nonsense, Suge is one of the biggest cretins in the industry. Master P just didn’t want to bring that beef to his label.
“Master P just didn’t want to bring that beef to his label” EXACTLY! fuxckall to do with respect dude was pissing on his own legs worries about Suge up in his ass
Never understood the appeal that No Limit had. Generic gangsta raps with even more generic casio beats. Shit was trash from day 1.
I understand why you feel that way but you have to filter through the garbage to find the good stuff. It’s just that they flooded the industry with so much music it was hard to keep up.
