XXLMag.com has learned that Snoop Dogg has been named Creative Chairman of the newly resurrected Priority Records, by parent company EMI Music.

Along with the position, Snoop will also be releasing his tenth studio album, Malice N Wonderland, on the famed West Coast label. In addition, the rap superstar will also serve as executive producer for a slew of discs hitting the market soon, in celebration of Priority’s 25th anniversary.

“Starting fresh with EMI is a great feeling,” Snoop said about the partnership in a press release. “It’s a new partnership, a new Priority Records, and a new Snoop Dogg: the Creative Chairman…the Boss Dogg…the Dogg Father. The business model we’ve developed will bring the musical heritage of groups like N.W.A. to the forefront. And you definitely got to get ready for my new Album Malice N Wonderland in December to kick it all off — this is going to be the most potent dose of Snoop Dogg yet!”

“Snoop has been a huge force in Rap and a big influence on the Urban genre in general,” Leonard Brooks, Senior Vice President of Urban A&R for EMI Music added. “In addition to possessing an original artistic voice, Snoop is also a true tastemaker, trendsetter of style and a global ambassador of Hip-Hop. We’re elated to release his next record, and to have Snoop re-introduce some of the most ground-breaking Rap recordings to new fans as Creative Chairman of Priority Records.”

Priority Records’ catalog includes a long list of high selling LPs by such rap luminaries as N.W.A, Eazy-E, Master P, Ice Cube, Ice-T, Run-D.M.C., EPMD and others

Man I miss the good old days of Priority Records. They had Mack 10, Bad Azz, Mc Eiht, Snoop, etc etc etc

This is gonna suck tho. Snoop's proved time and time again that he's NOT a CEO. The only Priority were going to see is his albums. He'll never release anyone else.

I guess MTV didnt know what to do, probably why the album got pushed until december, lets hope they promote it right, no cheap ass videos, right singles and stuff, as for Snoop being Chairman, maybe he will work hard to step his game up... Nipsey hussle on Priority, wouldnt be a bad thing ;)

Hopefully it leads to deals for Soopafly, Dogg Pound, Kurupt and Daz to release some albums. Rid of themselves crooked ass Koch and have marketing support.

The whole thing sounds very interesting, but I don't think that we will see any other releases than his own LP's plus some re-releases of old stuff. Hip Hop is dead, nobody is buying CD's and rap CD's now less than ever. I don't see a movement behind it and I don't see a market for it. Maybe he can get Xzibit to release his next album on there, maybe Too Short and maaaaaaybe Crooked I after that Slaughterhouse record. But I'm not having hopes at all.
Wasn't Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Bo$$ his last record on Priority? It's my 2nd favourite Snoop album, maybe he can get quality back, lol.

And to those people posting the collaboration list: I don't believe none of that shit!
Guest appearences are always dashing forward out of the internet in the run-up of a Snoop Dogg release and most of the time it's bullshit. Even Snoop himself said he was going to have David Banner production on Ego Trippin... I will believe such a line-up when I see something official in maybe 2 months.

Anyway, it would be the best thing to have just Teddy, Quik and Pharrell doing the production imo... and yeah, some Fredwreck would be nice.

What snoop needs to do is bring alll the dpg,daz,kurupt,soopafly,nate dogg and all the affiliate people like bad azz,techniec,crooked i,goldie loc,rbx etc etc and sign them all to priority and make it a powerhouse westcoast label.Time for snoop to step the fuck up and actuually be the legened and king he says he is and let his people shine.Wouldnt that be a dream come true?Bring all the new west on to the label as well and create thaty unity.

In a perfect world, we would get that but the reality is just because he's assigned a position doesn't mean they're giving him a blank check to bring his buddies over. The big misconception is that the major labels can just endorse artists and it's a new game in town. These labels throw tons of advertising dollars and music video money behind all these bleach-blonde high school jail bait singers and only two or three of them become the next Britney Spears or Hannah Montana. It's cool to think about what we'd do as fans but in reality, most of our plans would equal us getting let go pretty quickly.

I don't know if this has been posted yet but anyway, you can hear a record called "Gangsta Love" from "Malice In Wonderland" in the background.

snoop is the worst person to put as  Creative Chairman come on snoop hasn't really put on except the eastsiderz all the years he's been in the game and the people he tried to put where are they now he just did it to make a quick buck all those artists are now back in the hood or none factors
Title: Re: Snoop Dogg Resurrects Priority Records
Post by: ironmike on September 10, 2009, 12:02:47 AM
the 213 album was good aswell tho.

the problem with snoop now is that he wants to take his music in a different direction from the westcoast style of music that everyone loves from snoop. thats atleast for his solo albums.

then,... if he releases artist's album under him, he wants to have his niggaracci production all over it, but snoop's beats are wack. some people just arent meant to be producers. maybe snoop could co-produce a song with a good producer like LT or sumthing, but he is not capable of making quality beats on his own.

once snoop goes back to his roots with real westcoast style music like the old days, and realises his beats are wack, and puts niggaracci to rest, and writes his own lyrics, then maybe i might be confident that he can make dope music again, and put out dope releases of artists under him.

And thats exactly why the record industry is in a state of fail.Record companies dont listen to the fans.They want instant stars and dont want to take the time to develop an artist.Nowadays if your first album flops,thats it,your done.Lil wayne didnt become a star over night.
