I've been hearing this rumor for a while now and I want to make sure if it's true or not. Could somebody please give me the whole story behind this.
-
:o oh shit!!! Snoop Paid the Cost to be da Boss but he can't pay his artists. either snoop is broke or he is a stinjy mutha fucka. i thought he was paper'd stacked?
-
i think (HOPE) its just a rumour. :-\
-
that would be kinda hypocritical of snoop, since he was talkin about how suge doesnt properly pay his artists
-
I would also like to know the truth...
-
i think it bs in my opinion
-
Snoop doesn't pay out shit. MCA pays the Doggystyle artists.
He ain't no boss, he's gotta run things over with the heads at MCA like Dre and Em gotta run thing thru the heads at Interscope.

I think he paid too much to be the boss, & ended up broke, that's why he can't pay his artists, LOL, just joking.
I don't know if it's true or not, perhaps the artists that do feel out of pocket, thought that snoop's name will guarantee sales & money. However, the difference between Snoop & Suge (if this rumour is true), is that snoop doesn't keep the artists locked down in the contract if they wanna leave & he doesn't diss them afterwards, plus the artists own their publishing.

ye i heard about this cause the rumor was addressed when WCA interviewed Crooked I and the interviewer asked "Apparantly, there are artists dropiing from Snoop's Label"
-
Sounds like a bunch of BS to me...Anyone remember hearing from the acts of Soopafly and Kane that Snoop was the best boss they ever worked for an shit? Also I was wondering where this rumer came from? And to the fool that said Snoop was broke? Snoop was like 15 or 16 in the HipHop Power 30, I think he made like 65 mill or some shit last year, plus he signed to MCA for 26 mill...
If Doggystyle artists would start droppping some fucking albums then maybe they would start to make some money. Im not sure whos fault that is, Snoop or the artists, or both, but alot of factors could come into play. But Doggystyle needs to start putting out some albums in a hurry or they may end up broke.

Snoop does get his peeps in the door though ... like nate dogg said hes got strong shoulders for all the people hes carrying...

if we start seeing some of the artists leaving or having disputes, we'll know

That's the biggest BS I've ever heard.
According to Kronik, moderator at the DPG forum, the reason why some of the artists is "leaving" Doggystyle is because they gon' drop an indy album on Daz' label. But they are still signed to Doggystyle. MCA however, is slow with putting out albums so they have decided to focus on artists that may blow up, and right now they consider Tha Pound, Latoiya WIlliams and Delano to be those artists.The other Doggystyle artists will drop an indy album to create the buzz, and then probably releas on MCA/Doggystyle
Snoop is paying his artists, so shut the fuck up. He ain't as stupid as Suge.

Thanks alot Rag_J for the info. It seems like you are probably right. That is a smart move on behalf of Doggystyle records. I hope everyone reads Rag_J post because it sounds logical. Peace!

It's funny how Tray Deee wants to start his own independant label at the age of 42. LOL! and i think i'm being nice with his true age.
