I think Sneed was kind of a victim of the in-house fighting at Death Row. He was a member of Dre's crew but he tried to test the waters regarding his solo career after Dre left, which Dre had warned him would be a problem. According to Bruce Williams, Sneed was summoned to an artist meeting right after Dre was gone and was warned by Dre that it was a bad idea as Suge was just looking to get at anyone associated with him because he had stopped coming to Can-Am at that point. Sneed was still hopeful that Suge still had interest in putting out his album. When he got there, things immediately got bad as he showed Sneed's video, which had Dre in it and several East Coast rappers. Suge ended up grilling him about trying to charge Snoop too much for a beat and he ended up catching a beatdown. Other reports say Suge continued to have them strike him until he told them that Dre was gay and denounced him in front of everyone. According to Bruce, Dre grilled him about what happened and he denied insulting him. It put him in a weird spot with Dre and Death Row really had no interest in him after that. I'd say it was less about him not having the sound as much as it was, not having anybody in his corner.
