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.

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.

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!

LoL..

Eastsidaz (Goldie+Tray) - Left, had short unofficial beef with Snoop.
Bad Azz - Gone
Lady of Rage -  ??? God knows
Tha Angels/Doggys Angels - Nuked
RBX -  ??? Not signed as solo-artist any more
Dogghouse Allstars - I'd be surprised to see a "Vol.2"...

What's left is:
Soopafly
E-White
LaToyia Williams
Kokane
Snoop Dogg
Uncle June Bugg
Dogghouse Allstars
(RBX)

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.
