UNIVERSAL CITY, California — A week after pledging West Coast unity at a press conference for his tour with the Game, Snoop Dogg took his mission a step further Wednesday (April 13) by hosting a hip-hop peace summit and squashing all of
his own beefs.
Rappers from Game and Xzibit to the D.O.C. and Young MC met behind closed doors in a hotel conference room to discuss a unified future for West Coast hip-hop.
"I felt we should come together as one, organize, unify and start making records with each other and be about a cause," Snoop said afterward. "It's time for us to start standing up for something. It's called Protect the West. We're all moving together, we ended all our beefs."
Snoop, wearing a Protect the West T-shirt, said he ended his longtime feud with Suge Knight, as well as beefs with Jayo Felony and Kurupt, who has now rejoined Tha Dogg Pound.
"Anybody who thought they had a problem with me or had a problem with me in the past, I called them up and told them I don't want any problems," Snoop said. "I ain't got time to beef. I'm 30-something years old with three kids at the pad and they're trying to see their daddy."
Knight wasn't in attendance and was not available for comment, but Snoop insisted the Death Row Records founder was supportive of the Protect the West cause. "It's not an individual move, it's not about me and him personally, but we need to end all personal beefs because business doesn't move with beef," he said.
Kurupt was in attendance, as was Nate Dogg, Warren G, Daz Dillinger, Suga Free, Eazy-E Jr. and comedian Steve Harvey, who worked with Snoop on putting together the event.
"A lot of people had tensions from old crews, street activities, in general just hatin'," Daz said. "Everyone who had beef was in one room, and everyone who left today, beef should be squashed."
"It was a very positive vibe up in that room, I was pleasantly surprised," Young MC said. "What I was doing was a different genre and a different era than a lot of cats up there, but I still have love for everybody."
Snoop called Wednesday's gathering a business meeting more than a summit.
"It was me relaying to them that the banging in the business ain't making us no money," he said. "If we come together and move as one unit, money will be there and the opportunity to shine will be there. ... What it's all about is saying, 'I'm from the West Coast, you're from the West Coast, let me get your number, we could probably do some music together.' "
"Some of us don't even know each other," added Suga Free. "Some of us don't even mingle with each other, but we're in the same business. Why is that? ... The West Coast, we need some unity. We need some education out here with the artists that are touring and flying around the world like Snoop and Game are."
Snoop, who said he was motivated to host the summit because he feels West Coast hip-hop doesn't get the attention it deserves, encouraged his peers to follow in the footsteps of rappers in the South.
"Why are they so successful?" he asked. "Well, they all work together and have great harmony. This is the West Coast, we built on gangsta, gangsta, gangsta, but sometimes we gotta know when to have peace. It ain't always cool to be gangsta to your homeboys. And if you from the West Coast, no matter if you're Blood, Crip, Spanish, we all homeboys."
Snoop and Game, who come from rival Los Angeles-area gangs, said last week their How the West Was One Tour, which kicks off Friday in Utah, should serve as an example of how West Coast rappers can come together to benefit each other (see "Snoop, Game Pledge Unity, Promise 'No Funny Business' On Tour").

I could care less about Suges involvement, but I'm happy as hell about all those Westcoast cats putting the beefs aside and sticking together. Props to Snoop for putting this together. Most if not all of those beefs were dumb (ie Game/Xzibit). The South is hot as hell right now, and if u notice they all work together. I always wondered why the West couldnt have that kind of unity, but hopefully after this meeting it will be all good.............Not surprised that Dre wasn't there (LOL), but hopefully he's supporting the movement. If there is a God, there will be no 50 on Detox........................
-
yeah....now yukmouth has more rappers to diss!! ;D

LMAO... Snoop's been the King of the Westcoast since he left No Limit, and even when he was on No Limit it was almost like he was running the west from his house in the south... haha. Nah, but on the real, his been the king for a long while, and it's about time he started acting like it.

where are all those morons who said Snoop was just blabbing his mouth and ain't gonna do shit ?................ :)
-
great fucking news, can anyone see this happen with the eastcoast? lol not a chance
-
where are all those morons who said Snoop was just blabbing his mouth and ain't gonna do shit ?................ :)
im one of em.....im still here......(it might be a publicity stunt)
-
hey for real though i dont hear anyone givin game props, like it or not this shit didnt happen until snoop saw the west coast risin again with games album out, someone else went platinum besides him, so yeah i give game props too because if it wasnt for his coming then i dont think snoop wouldve done this because everything wouldve been the same, hes sellin and the rest of the west coast was not. major props to both!
-
Well, if this goes down as planned...Snoop will be a real Gangster for doing this. This could be big if everyone does what they are saying.
-
Dre isn't even being talked about because he doesnt even fuck with the west no more
dont let him think that he still does. Game is the ONLY nigga from the west he fucked with since 2001(x-to-the-z)
Dre is giving all his beats to: EM, Gunit, Busta, Eve, and some other non westoast person
-
if this true its fuccin funny. cuz all em niggas is gonna be beefin within a month. yall C.
-
fucking dope news!! 8)
props to snoop and game
-
dre and suge wont make up, u forget theres a court order which says suge can't be within a certain distance of dre(i think), dre knows how much of a cock suge is
-
im not very up on thangs but isn't Suge on Probation and he can't be out the house for a certain amounts of hours. Either way i wanna hear a MC Eiht with Ras Kass on a Bosko beat. Or a Yukmouth wit Snoop on some Soopafly chit. And a Tupac album, by REAL rappers and producers by the West Coast artists only, unless they real street niggaz or from Rap-A-Lot like Scarface or Geto Boys or Z-Ro. Hey a collabo album wit Pac and Geto Boys sounds kinda tite. What ya think.

who fuckin cares...this is good news..dont knock it
-
i dont think yukmouth wants peace because thats the only anyone listens to him right now by causin beef
-
im not very up on thangs but isn't Suge on Probation and he can't be out the house for a certain amounts of hours.
I highly doubt that they're trying to work together again and start another Death Row, I guess the reason is to make peace and keep a positive vibe on the West Coast.
-
Most if not all of those beefs were dumb (ie Game/Xzibit). The South is hot as hell right now, and if u notice they all work together. I always wondered why the West couldnt have that kind of unity, but hopefully after this meeting it will be all good.............
the reason the west didn't have the same unity as the south in my opinion cuz it's a different genre of music the two regions do. the west got the gangsta and if u doin' the gangsta music, i guess u got to have conflict. U can't be all smiley smiley like nothings wrong. Now the south on the other hand make music to dance to, with a lot of the artists not really even caring what their rappin' about in they verse. But westcoast don't worry, cuz over here in the east UNITY is so far down on the totem pole it don't make sense. Props to the west for taking a step in the right direction.
-
UP IN SMOKE TOUR 2005/2006!!!!!!!!!!Chuuuch!!!!!!!!
-
this is great news for the westcoast, they need to stop beefing and start making some dope ass albums
-
The only thing left is to get LA and the bay back together.
I might not like Snoop's music as of late, but he definately gets props for doing this. If it was anyone else besides Dre, I don't think it would be this successful. He is using his media exposure for a good thing.

lol i love it when people with one-sideded opinions say that kinda shiet
-
phuck suge

phuck suge
yeah alot of bad karma is comin back to him, since he lost like 200 mil, to some female who apparently started death row, and received no assets.....
-
this is the best news ive heard in awhile 8)
-
That's great news ;D
One question though: What was Young MC doing there?
-
thats good news if it holds true. i like hearin that about mac mall, the guy is slept on all the time, but he has been rockin the mic as one of my favorites for over 10 years. he is all about being united, check out his song "peace treaty" with jt the bigga figga
-
That's great news ;D
One question though: What was Young MC doing there?
LOL

he produced for knoc-turn'al, tray deee and 40 glocc too.
-
DAmn!thats a great nerws,its about time.
West up muthafuckas!
-
That's great news ;D
One question though: What was Young MC doing there?
lol,word. maybe he was servin lunch...
-
he produced for knoc-turn'al, tray deee and 40 glocc too.
Knoc flopped. Tray Deee flopped and now he's in jail. And 40 Glocc only got a few (good) throw away beats.
I don't know why he can give beats to Em and make him popular or give beats to everyone but west coast talent and blow them up, and the folks in LA he's kicking his beats to just go down the tubes. It's like quantum physics. People just pretend to understand it.
-
will see what suge has ta say
-
That's great news ;D
One question though: What was Young MC doing there?
lol,word. maybe he was servin lunch...
^^^nope he was moppin and vacumin tha floors

If I understand this correctly, Snoop only contacted Suge and asked him to squash the beef? Doesn't mean that the beeh has been squashed! I'm sure Suge will propose a Death Row reunion album with Dre productions to officially squash the beef and let by gones be by gones. I seriously doubt Dre would want anything to do with Suge or any other westcoast rapper for that matter. Dre is sitting on top of the world with Aftermath and doesn't need anyone else mucking up his shit. I wouldn't mind seeing some classic G-Funk on the Detox cd. That CD better have NWA and DPG! I personally wanna hear another Snoop/Eminem track..those two flow great together like on Bitch Pleaze 2.
