So much for them.A few weeks ago, Snoop Dogg confided his desire to buy back his old Death Row label. Unfortunately, the operation could not be done which vexed the Long Beach rapper who intends to take revenge with his new post ches Def Jam.All this might sound like in-house cooking, but this is somewhere in the heritage of American rap and Snoop Dogg is a little cross-eyed that he was denied Death Row as he explained in a recent interview with GQ."I wanted to be CEO of Death Row Records. I basically wanted to take over the catalog, re-release music, make documentaries and maybe tell the story of my life."For this, he approached the former owners of Death Row Music, eOne Music with the aim, to buy the label, but they indicated that they were not looking to sell. Soon after, the Blackstone Group bought the label, which, according to Snoop, "hurt" him. Instead of giving up, he decided to change his shotgun."I knew that Def Jam didn't have a CEO and I didn't want to be CEO, but I wanted to take a consulting and creative position. So I arranged a meeting and I met Lucian [Grainge, president and CEO of Universal Music Group, owner of Def Jam]. Def Jam is bigger and better than Death Row anyway. So I called LL Cool J: 'LL, what's going on with your life story?'"Perhaps this was the best decision to make.
