Now we have another Death Row Snoop release – this one a “greatest hits” package.
#Snoop doggy dogg greatest hits album download#
When Snoop’s “Last Meal” album was due to drop, Death Row offered the whole thing as a free download from their site, so that heads could check it against their rival Snoop release of back catalogue material “Dead Man Walkin'”. Take the example of Dre who trumpeted the release of his “Chronic 2000” album, only to find that Death Row had beat him to the punch by releasing a weak compilation of the same name, and forcing Dre to move his title up by a year. Sometimes he finds other places to hurt them – like in the wallet. As previously mentioned, Suge doesn’t like to be crossed – but he doesn’t always hurt people physically.
Filling the gaps, Death Row released a couple of sloppy compilations, some of 2pac’s back catalogue, and some of Dre’s greatest hits to try to bring the ailing label back onto a level footing. Unfortunately when Dre and Snoop (and the Dogg Pound) left Death Row, the lion’s share of the creative talent went with them. Still not happy with the way events were handled in his absence, he has picked up where he left off, dissing those who crossed him (and some who didn’t). The empire crumbled…įast forward to the year 2001, to find that Suge Knight is back on the scene, and intent on making green. In the meantime, 2pac was murdered, and Suge Knight, Death Row’s CEO, was locked up for parole violation. Shortly after, Snoop Doggy Dogg, left for the fresh pastures of No Limit Records, shortening his name to Snoop Dogg in the process. Somewhere along the line, the division of the money became a sore point, and first Dr. They celebrated phenomenal sales which brought in phenomenal amounts of money. Remember Death Row? Remember when the Death Row roster of artists were feared not only for their ability to put a dent in other artists sales, but also for their CEO’s ability to put a dent in heads? Of course everyone knows the story, and everyone has heard the different versions, but what it really boils down to is this – Death Row were at one time THE premier Hiphop label.
