Surprise surprise........with the way he flips every 5 seconds.
I know he will still go back to Snoop/Deathrow soon anyway.
On the Lox/Jada album, he is the only one talking about it at the moment....they might just be working with him to see what he come up with....if it's worth it, they might release it, if not they probably just use one or two tracks from the sessions in their projects

So nobody asked WHY?🤣🤣🤣
i think we all know why
to keep it a buck nobody is even officially signed to death row
but daz thinks it's normal to lash out at his family in a fit of rage every other week
snoop doesn't even care, he just looks at daz like he's retarded

I think the Daz STANS on here take it way more seriously than he does. He was laughing about it during the interview saying him and Snoop been arguing their whole life, one week they mad at each other, next week they are fine. You can tell Daz isn't sweating it or taking it seriously at all. They're family. It's the people here who get their panties in a bunch every time Daz says anything negative about Snoop and think it's some serious beef. It ain't even like that.

all of dpg gets down like that
they all hold both hate and love in their heart towards each other

Exactly....they're family, plus intertwined in a serious multi-million dollar business for 30+ years. Of course there's gonna be dust ups every so often. They always work it out.

to be fair, they don't function like a normal family lol
and it's really all of them, not just daz
-
Daz will be back with Snoop at some point lol.
In the meantime, what the heck is going on with the Kurupt solo album?
-
We should ask Kurupt, Snoop, Battlecat and his management.
-

Of course. Normal families don't have the business dealings and contracts and money they all have together. Of course that leads to issues. Point is, every family argues and they make up. Snoop and Daz and DPG are no different.
Look at all the disses and extremely personal words exchanged when Kurupt went to Death Row...and they all made up. These little spats between Daz and Snoop are nothing compared to what was going on at that time.
-
Solo lp - Group lp - group ep - group single - group intro - group skit - unreleased daz song with jadakiss intro
-
Daz will be back with Snoop at some point lol.

I dont know
he posted a pic with him and few other rappers including Masta Killa and the god Rakim the other day with the caption new music from everyone in 2026 for whatever thats worth

I know we all want the album ASAP, but releasing an album right before Christmas isn't a good move from a marketing perspective. Honestly, i'd hold off on the release too.
I think this album would get much more traction for an April release, right when the weather is getting nice again. Kurupt's albums play so much better with that warm weather vibe.

How many people buy albums anymore? Let's just say Kurupt did a lot of promoting - how many albums would you expect him to sell vs if he just dropped it today? I'd say 10K difference maybe at most.
If snoop's missionary didn't do well, then you can pretty much forget any other old school westcoast artist ever selling well again. Missionary was hyped for so long and had a ton of promotion. Kurupt will never get even close to that kind of traction.
These guys have a very small audience. I wish they would just make the kind of music for their audience and understand that they have peaked long ago with their stardom, and probably not going to make a ton of money going forward with the music. Might as well just make music you love and have fun doing.

yup
and there's money to be made with a properly produced and promoted kurupt album
not big money ... but enough to continue enjoying life

Exactly, which is why they aren't rushing this. This could very well be Kurupt's last solo album. Make sure it's done the right way and not just haphazardly drop it out of the blue one day with no buzz.
-
Then you shouldn't announce the album six months or more before its release. One to two months is enough. Most West Coast rap fans like Battlecat, and Kurupt too. It has the potential to be successful.
-
"Successful" for these artists ia subjective now.
They have to be doing for the love of it and long term royalty and legacy.
I don't think they are doing music to survive at this point.

Snoop is a household name but not for his music.

Daz is doing the right thinga at the end of the day, it's a business, and Daz didn't want to sell his rights to Snoop or sign the contract. I would have done the same.

Labels used to announce albums years in advance. I can tell you are young and impatient. Announcing an album being worked on 6 months in advance is nothing new. It's this impatient generation that wants stuff immediately, you're used to these people who drop albums out of the blue with no buzz and that's cool and works sometimes, but not all artists do things that way.

So nobody asked WHY?🤣🤣🤣
Because DAZ said why. He wouldn't sign over all his songs DUH.
I applaud Daz for this.

I agree, IF it's true what Daz said, and i think it is, he did the right thing. Snoop trying to get him to sign all his publishing away is a straight Jerry Heller/Suge Knight move. The very people Snoop used to diss for doing the exact same thing.
-
How do we know Snoop is asking Daz to sign all his publishing away? I don't believe that.

Yeah, no chance. Snoop has so much money. He's not trying to get Daz publishing LOL

Daz claimed on a recent podcast (can't remember which) that after 35 years, copyrights expire and rights go back to the original grantee. That's what's happening with Daz and a bunch of his early Death Row stuff, he's getting publishing rights back to stuff he produced/rapped on 35 years ago, stuff from Chronic, Doggystyle, soon All Eyez on Me....and something about Snoop asking Daz to reup and resign the songs back over to Death Row and Daz told him NO and is letting the copyrights revert back to him.
Again, don't know if it's actually true or not, just reporting what Daz said. BUT, that 35 year copyright law is in fact true, so he's at least correct in that sense. Not sure if he's fully correct with how that will play into his musical contributions.
Here's an interesting link about it, haven't really read into it much: https://www.songwriteruniverse.com/gosainkaplanrecapture123/

Snoop never got the publishing rights with death row. He only got the name and the branding.
-

Daz is the only one always moaning and talking bad.
One minute he is happy Snoop got Deathrow and they can see those that have been stealing from them, now all thier names are back on the Credits etc and everybody getting their royalties....next Snoop is asking him to sign over his publishing?

I think that's because Daz is the only one that seems to be business savvy and has been running his own independent labels for years. Kurupt seems to be the opposite and happy for Snoop to take control of his career.

I don't know about "Business Savvy"....what Daz does is "Wheeling & Dealing"...half hearted Projects, Movies, Mancherdise etc.
He will start or sell ideas to his fans, only to not deliver it, scrap it with no reason given.
Daz was also a Producer in the crew, so no surprise he would be getting more from royalties, that's not his own skill, that's the work of a decent lawyer to get his paper.
I'm not knocking Daz, he hustles the way he knows but still going on about the money from his old Deathrow days in 2025 is not a flex

Now it makes sense why there is no warren-g production on 213 album.
however while producers like premier, battlecat, mike&keys accept to have a deal on %50 percent with snoop, daz could accept it tho.

Yup, finally getting the attention he wanted and putting it on the Internet 🤣

Daz being such a clown as usual
-
just another day in the dpg family
-
"Family"... there is another producer Chris Glove who said today that dre didn't pay him and blocked him lol what a childish behavior
And for me as a fan this whole situation is very sad when I watched all these interviews during the WAWG promotion I felt something was wrong i was all nonsense and lies.

glove don't need dre ... he got us now

Really wonder how this impacts the who is in DPG(C) discussion.

we dont know shit on their business , we re just fans . have you read the contract ?
-
Now I understand Dr Dre's ways more.
He stayed away from certain people, stayed clear of them snd their drama.
He let them talk without biting or ever trying to be around.
Because at rhe end of the day, it's would be your own people.
If Daz is as business smart, as he would like us to believe, shouldn't be difficult to get what's his through his lawyers, right?
If your claim is legit, what's the point of all this?
-
Daz is a weird individual, must be in their blood because Ray J is having thd same type of behavior
-
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If there was a doubt what this about, this kind of money grab should clear it up

Well that's the contention. That his lawyers are telling him to not sign to Death Row or sign anything over to Snoop and that's how this all got started.
The story he tells about WAWG is interesting, how Snoop gets 50% publishing rights for production for his other producers signed to the label, but Daz wouldn't agree to that, so that's why no Daz production is on the album. Like was said, i'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle, but I don't think Snoop is innocent in all this either. The idea that he's going back for groups like DPG, Eastsidaz, Danny Boy, etc. with the sole intent to help them out seems like that isn't really the case. Which is fine, Snoop wants to make money too, even though he has more money than he will ever need in his lifetime. But call it like it is then.

As you stated, let's say all that is the truth, let's just go with that.
So you have a proposal and your lawyer said, don't sign, it's not a good deal, then don't sign! Get it the right way, crying on the Internet not going to change that.
Now to his WAWG, let's say his version is the truth too, just for argument sake...so he didn't agree to the production deal but other producers agreed to it, these are not industry newbies (Mike & Keys, Battlecat) etc.
They look at the papers, it works for them, they agreed to do it, Daz looked at it and saod not for me...end of story.

Agreed. I have business deals presented to me all the time where I don't feel it is a good fit for me and I politely decline and move on. Daz going online and crying about it certainly isn't helping matters any. Unless, as I stated before, he thinks this 'beef' will somehow lead to more attention and more album sales and downloads. Fans love drama and diss songs.
But also to be fair to Daz, people keep asking him 'why you didn't produce on WAWG', 'why is Snoop putting Kurupts albums out on Death Row and not yours?", 'why isn't Dogg Food 2 coming out on Death Row"....so I think he is being forced to address some of this stuff because the fans want to know. But there's a more mature way of handling it.

.Good luck to them.
I genuinely think it's better for both of them to settle their business and go their ways.
All these nonstop back n forth is very immature and they always dust it under "family squabble".....looks like fake love, no need to fuck with each other by force.
Back to the music, lett me go and wait for Game's mixtape....hopefully it delivers some gem for Christmas

It's not just Snoop wanting 50% of the publishing for production, Daz is saying that Snoop was paying new staff off old Death Row royalties including Daz's and something about Snoop trying to trademark Tha Dogg Pound name and forging Daz's signature.
Daz isn't the only one raising issues about Snoop's bad business practices, Danny Boy, Nate's brother Sam Dogg and now Kokane too, seems that Snoop is just looking out for Snoop.

add rbx and tray deee to the list
no one saying daz is wrong in theory
but he himself isn't innocent .. especially in the way he acts publicly

It’s sad because Snoop has more money than he’ll ever need in his lifetime. Hell he gets more passive income than most people get in a lifetime of working. So he doesn’t even need to do this kind of shady shit. What’s wrong with letting people who been down with you since 1992 get in on some money? You see Daz’s house in his IG videos. He’s pressing his own CDs. Hand signing every one. He clearly isn’t living the rich life. I do believe Snoop when he says Daz is broke. Probably why he’s releasing so much music. I feel bad for the guy. And Snoop letting the man suffer. The man down with him back when Snoop was broke as a joke too. You think he paid Daz for Doggystyle? He did it for free to help Snoop. And that catapulted Snoop to mega stardom. Now Snoop laughs at that same man because he’s broke. What sort of gratitude is that?
-
Soopafly been around Snoop since 94, he never complained and he knowshis role, he is still active to this day. I get Daz though, he doesnt have the machine behind him or a plug to send beats to major labels to stay relevant, so he will do or say whatever and use it as a promotional tool.

That is true, Soopafly does seem content with being in the background. Daz released Fly's original album. When Fly signed to Doggystyle records, Snoop scrapped his Big Willie Dynamite album. Then stuck him with 2 nobodies in Westurn Union. Fly has produced a lot of big hits for Snoop....i don't feel like Snoop has returned the favor when Fly needed guest spots or help getting his projects off the ground. But you are right, for whatever reason Soopa ain't making a big deal about it and is content. Guess that's the tale of two viewpoints. Daz overreacts and goes off, Soopa just stays in the cut and takes it. You can argue which is better. Fly's career could've gone a lot differently if he would've stood up for himself every now and then, maybe not.
-
I don't think Daz would be broke, he looks like he has been in the real estate game for awhile plus with touring money I think he'd be living pretty comfortable.
Has Goldie Loc ever had any issues with Snoop's business tactics?

some people just accept people for who they are and avoid the drama
snoop hasn't changed.. this is who he's been since day 1.. so you're either down with him and accept his ways or you don't
daz is actually more similar to snoop than he realizes
-

Generally curious cause i don't know the answer, how much money you think Daz would make on a Snoop Dogg tour? Especially after all the travel expenses, meals, etc? Most likely Snoop's touring with other big name artists and all their backup rappers, and Daz would rap on what, maybe 2 or 3 songs on the set? I really doubt Daz is making that much when he tours with them. By the looks of his house on his IG videos, looks like he's living a very modest life, I feel like I have a nicer house than Daz has.

I have no doubt Daz has similar biz tactics to Snoop lol.

Soopa is working and getting paid and happy with it...not producing only for Snoop but for October London, Charlie and produced half of Jane Handcock's album.
As a grown man, Soopa definitely have a deal on what he gets for his work with Snoop and happy with it....not like a gun was put to his head.
I don't understand people doing work for certain arrangements, then turn around 5 years later to moan....if these guys can't get their business template right by now, then that's really sad

It's a shame that its come to this, but Daz and Snoop have fallen out many times before and as they're family hopefully they'll be able to sort this out behind the scenes. This time feels a bit more serious and personal though.
All of this has reminded me of Crooked I's Snoop diss back in the 2000s:
"You're bending your artists over all the while,
I guess that's why you call your label Doggystyle".
;D
(Great diss track/freestyle, by the way).

Generally curious cause i don't know the answer, how much money you think Daz would make on a Snoop Dogg tour? Especially after all the travel expenses, meals, etc? Most likely Snoop's touring with other big name artists and all their backup rappers, and Daz would rap on what, maybe 2 or 3 songs on the set? I really doubt Daz is making that much when he tours with them. By the looks of his house on his IG videos, looks like he's living a very modest life, I feel like I have a nicer house than Daz has.
I'm talking about the tours and concerts he does with Kurupt or solo, a month or two ago he was touring in Europe by himself. Him and Kurupt always seem to be doing shows and he post a lot of videos about the houses he builds which I'm assuming is for his real estate portfolio.

I'm not saying he is anywhere near as rich as Snoop, few rappers would be, but Daz would be far from broke.
Even if he is building house for $180k, if he has multiple and renting them out I'm sure he has plenty of real estate assets.

Lets be honest, what career?

So why isn’t he getting royalties for all that? You are right, guy should be set up for life with the career he’s had. Isn’t that exactly what he’s trying to do now? Protect his publishing?

Daz had his ''Run'' from 1992 to 1998, outside of that he didn't contribute much to Hip Hop. This guy has been crying about his publishing and royalties for decades and was unable to reinvite himself and expand his craft. Dj Quik has a career, 1500 or Nothin has a career, Terrace Martin has a career. Even Kurupt is considered one of the greatest Hip hop mc's ever. Daz will never reach that level.

Daz can be goofy a lot of times but when it comes to producing he's one of GOATs... he's also overlooked as an MC... his flow is ill.

Daz was a decent demo maker back in the day, who played his little creative part in the studio on the classic DR albums.
Some of those dope things we hear on them were from his skills and mind.
Nowadays he's like a untidy bedroom beat-maker in his white tee and pants with half a blunt in his mouth basement bargain amatuer producer, though he sometimes crafts a nice song or two on his cheaply put together frisbees.
he's also overlooked as an MC... his flow is ill.
Rapper wise?
His flow on Death-Row was fine.
But what was Daz's best verse though?
Something on Death-Row right, but i never remember him ever out-shining any of the other inmates on any song.
He was 2nd to Kurupt on every song he hopped on with him on Dogg Food, maybe be every single DPG song ever.
Not being harsh on Daz, he a funny cat and his place in west-coast hip-hop history is stamped.
But his hip-hop quality standards been seriously lackin since Death-Row.
As for Snoop, Deathrow lite is a failure music wise so far and now we know why, if true.
If Daz is right about Snoop's DR scam, there was no plan for a major come-back, deep investment or even attempt to rebuild DR's former status.
That's why Calvin signing all those shitty new artists on there putting out trash-can music, to cheaply make the label look active and attractive to potential future buyers with a new extensive catalogue.
So according to Daz, Dogg want to fatten up the label a bit, pimp the artists and then flog everything off DR in the future to the corporates for some nice rasberry pie.
Daz aint signing over shit, unless he gets his spoon into a nice slice too..so Snoopy pissed @ him for exposing and fuckin up his retirement fund.
Snoop's artists gonna be looking at him side-ways and maybe in the future thier laywers giving him headaches, and other artists dealing with him is now alerted to not sign over thier music rights without being on point with the contractual paper-work...all thanks to Daz ;D
So that's that, no more new DPGC music for now.
Daz Dillinger Calls Snoop Dogg a 'Little B*tch,' Accuses Him of Theft, Threatens Legal Action

The feud between Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger has erupted into a full-blown war of words, with Daz publicly calling Snoop “a little bitch” and accusing him of stealing royalties, forging signatures, and attempting to claim ownership of his intellectual property.
The longtime collaborators and cousins are now exchanging some of their harshest words ever.
The latest flare-up came after Snoop issued a warning of his own, responding to Daz’s recent accusations by saying: “In a minute I’ma fuck you up, cuz, not physically, but business-wise. You broke as a muthafucka right now, so I’m a fuck you up in a minute. Leave me the fuck alone.”
Snoop Dogg goes off on his cousin Daz Dillinger.
“In a minute, I’m going to f* you up, cuz, not physically but business wise…”
Daz Dillinger calls out his cousin Snoop Dogg, accusing him of going behind his back to copyright music Daz created during his time at Death Row Records. Daz also alleges that Snoop is attempting to sell a catalog valued at a billion dollars that includes his work.

Daz quickly fired back on Instagram, posting a video of Snoop along with a blistering caption: “HE MAD NOW… NOW HE WANNA FUC ME UP BIZNIZ WISE BY TRYNA STEAL EVERYTHING I OWN THAT WAS ON DEATHROW… BY FORGED SIGNITURE & NOT PAYING ROYALTIES… U A THIEF… U CANT STARVE ME OUT I’M INDEPENDENT… U LITTLE BBITCH.”

Their conflict stems from Daz’s claim that Snoop intentionally stopped him from producing on Tha Dogg Pound’s 2024 album W.A.W.G., released through Snoop’s revived Death Row Records. Daz alleges Snoop had financial incentives to keep him off the production credits.
According to Daz, Snoop “didn’t want me to produce anything on that album because he had a deal with the producers where he got half.” He added that Snoop only wanted him involved as an artist, not as a producer, which Daz believes was a strategic move to cut him out of backend earnings.
Daz also accused Snoop of trying to trademark Tha Dogg Pound’s paw print logo, something Daz says he legally owns and registered himself. He claimed Snoop and others attempted to secure it behind his back as part of what he described as a billion-dollar deal involving Death Row’s catalog.
“They tried to go behind my back and trademark all my work and flaunt it like, ‘We got it. That’s all we wanted,’” Daz said. “But don’t be selling my shit.”
He further alleged that since purchasing Death Row, Snoop has been using artist royalties to pay staff, leaving musicians unpaid.
“You said, ‘I’ma give everybody back their publishing.’ You lied,” Daz said. “You trying to starve n***as out, but you can’t starve me out. I just want what’s mine.”
After Snoop fired back with his “business-wise” threat, Daz escalated things further by suggesting he may sue Snoop just as he once sued Suge Knight.
“I sued Suge back in the day. Should I do the same to cuz?” he wrote.
As of now, Snoop has not publicly responded to Daz’s latest comments. The fallout has left fans shocked, given the duo’s decades-long bond and foundational work together in West Coast hip-hop.

If you take all the music daz realized and you calculate an average grade, he is mediocre at best. 30 years plus in the game and he is still the same, he can only blame himself, beefing with death row and snoop since forever, he doesn't learn anything. snoop is a bitch in business yes and what ? we know that since forever.

How much does he get from 1 song? Or an album sold with 'his' song on it?

yeah, I don't understand that shit either. Like when they used to say you get paid royalties if they play your song on the radio and that Michael Jackson had the Beatles royalties. Or they say Puffy pays Sting like 10,000 a day or something for "Missing You".
Who the fucc paying out all these royalties cause that sounds like a lot of fuccin money. Ain't no radio station got that kind of money.

I dont think many if any radio station play majority of the songs in daz video.
The business behind that stuff is c4azy
Stories like DOC handed over his publishings to eazy e over a Rolex watch.
Dre getting sued for his intro on 2001 using the "universal films
"intro" it was like 3 seconda and they sued for millions.
Remember Prince asked Nas if he owns his masters and then refused to work with him when Nas said "No".

Yeah homie, another crazy one is the Johnny J All Eyez On Me shit. Like supposedly he didn’t make any money cause he used all those samples and Suge charged him for the samples, some crazy shit like that.
All Eyez On Me was very sample heavy but well worth it, it’s the greatest album in history. But PAC really went next level when he was like, “fine, fucc it, next album I’ll do it without Johnny J and without those samples” and actually came out even harder with 7 Day Theory

Yep, THX-1, Dre asked Star Wars big daddy George Lucas for permission, he was told to fuck off...lucky for us, Dre said fuck it and jacked it.
Had to a pay up a cool million or so for it, daps to Dre for puttin that cinematic shit on for us on 2001.
The rap superstar is accused of using a sound called ‘THX Deep Note’, a sound Lucasfilm has trademarked – he claims the first sound ever to be trademarked – without the company’s permission.
How Star Wars Stuck It to Gangster Rap's Dr. Dre and a Trademarked "Sound"
July 19, 2016
This is, by far, how far trademark law and patent law could actually go -- only in this industry can someone file a lawsuit on something completely unrelated as this! Yes, it turned out that in this legal history of a brand such as Star Wars, LucasFilm even sued one Dr. Dre (the same Dre of NWA fame and Snoop Dogg) for preceding one of his tracks after -- get this -- that THX deep note sound you heard at the very beginning of some of the Star Wars films.
It Was Literally the First Time in Legal History That a "Sound" Was Ever Trademarked
You know what we're talking about: when the THX logo shows up on the screen, and that familiar deep note crescendoes up to a high galactic pitch, almost capable of cracking glasses. It became a staple of surround sound technology, and here's the kicker: Lucasfilm owned that sound given THX was a division of the studio up until 2001.
That made Lucasfilm the owner of not only the AV-standards company THX, but the logo, the sound -- everything. Hence no one better touch any aspect of it.
Dr. Dre Tried to Get Permission in Using That THX Deep Note Intro
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYMpMcmpfkI
Lucasfilm refused. And the company had every right to refuse. Of course, being the gangster rapper he was, Dre went ahead and pulled the audio anyway and used it on one of his tracks.* Lucasfilm found out, however, and the rest is history.
That's one lawsuit you'd never expect a gangster rapper to ever face.

Daz saying the truth. Kokane has confirmed it also rbx and why do you think tray d went to jail? Snoop unfortunately is a snake and fucking people over. I just did some research on this dogg food reissue and says produced by big snoop dogg how in the fuck did he pull that off. I can only imagine he owns the masters now and has full control. This will get interesting in the months ahead.
