A major label change is coming for Snoop Dogg...
Source: ChronicVacation.Com
We've heard from a reliable source that Snoop Dogg has parted ways with long-time label Interscope/Geffen Records. What exactly does this all mean? You'll find out soon.
-
He is gonna put some raw stuff out with Dogg Pound & Dre....yeah maybe in the next lifetime. ;)
-
If that means less radio friendly songs from Snoop I'm all for it :)
-
When is that death metal album from Snoop and Björk dropping?
-
snoop is done thats wht that means
-
haha signs wit akon-vict or his new blood homie
he dont mind bein fucked by the industry
He is gonna put some raw stuff out with Dogg Pound & Dre....yeah maybe in the next lifetime. ;)
-
It means not even Jimmy Iovine can stand to hear more garbage like "Sexual Eruption" and "My Medicine".
-
haha jimmy bones
It means not even Jimmy Iovine can stand to hear more garbage like "Sexual Eruption" and "My Medicine".
-

true that.
"My Medicine" was fuckin terrible.
-
Snoop should go independant.
-
^^ yer he could still do good numbers. Hopefully we get to hear the cinematic album he was planning with Dre and some movie theme composers 8)
-
HE'S GONA SIGN WITH A NEW LABEL???
HMMMMMM
DPGC23
-
He's going back to No Limit :o
I'm all for anyone leaving a major, I hope he doesn't sign with another one. I don't think Snoop has it in him to go indie.
-
If that means less radio friendly songs from Snoop I'm all for it :)
-
snoop is done thats wht that means
yeah it sounds more like that
-
Maybe he'll sign with Bad Boy. You guys remeber a while back he wanted Diddy to executive
produce his last album.
-
i'm callin Atlantic..
-
DAMN
Maybe he'll sign with Bad Boy. You guys remeber a while back he wanted Diddy to executive

-
i call AFTERMATH.
;D haha. just kidding.
I'm with luna on this one...Atlantic.
-
Could Snoop have left due to the weak sales of Ego Trippin' compared to his other albums?
-
As long as the music is on point I'm down for anything, Snoop is still a household name, he'll do fine.
-
yeah but his other albums were more his style
compared to this one, he was on some sexual ego typa shit
Could Snoop have left due to the weak sales of Ego Trippin' compared to his other albums?
-
LOL at people saying Snoop is done. Paid Da Cost, you know the rest. He goes on his own terms, bad albums or not.
As for where he will end up? As much as I would like to see Snoop do the indie thing, I don't think it will happen. So I think maybe Capitol, Atlantic like Luna said or maybe Universal.
-

Im gonna say no because if that was the case it wouldnt have taken this long for him to be gone..

Capitol is brutal, I really hope he doesnt go there
Atlantic is the best rap major label
Universal or Def Jam wouldnt be a bad look
If he wants to try a southern thing again (No Limit Pt.2) he could go to Grand Hustle as they're slowly but surely building up a dynasty ;D

I don't see another major west coast artist ever signing to Def Jam again. Real talk.

Because they do not know how to promote them. Long laundry list of rappers over there that they dropped the ball on. WC, Jayo, just to name a few. Now things might be different now with new people there but I doubt it.

Warren G eventually as well. I can see them swoopin' up a proven mainstream artist like Snoop though. To be honest not like WC or Jayo have a mainstream resume even CLOSE to snoops..

True. If the promotion would be behind it, it would be a good fit for Snoop.
-
Snoop should sign on Lench mob and do a record with both Cube and WC ... ;D

Now that would be the shit.

Snoop Dogg simply needs to check his management team, they beeen fucking alot.. since No Limit Top Dogg he been having weird promo, choosing the wrong singles, having cheap videos and bullshit songs, with a proper team, we will be able to get somewhere, but for now I think he'll be like Uncle L
-
snoop is goin to koch, coz of the weak sales of ego trippin, lol j/k
i think maybe columbia records.
jim jones went to columbia, previously being on koch.
another possible label is Jive records. thats the label too short has been on his whole career

Jive are one of the best labels out there. I would like him to get on there.
-
Jive doesn't promote HipHop enough. UGK never got enough.

Atlantic would be the best fit..biggest push..
-

Meh, they did a good job with Petey Pablo when he came out. I like Jive though. Atlantic would be good though too.

but Pablo was like 1 and done. we dont want that with Snoop. Atlantic has the biggest HipHop machine now in days imo.
-
i definately dont think he signin to def jam.
i think there's the possibility that p.diddy signed him to bad boy for atleast a 1 year record deal. possibly,.....
so where he is most likely going to end up is either:
bad boy records
atlantic
columbia
jive
universal
-
hopefully he does somethin less commercial now

Well, two because his 2nd album went gold and Goodies and whatever did good. Only reason Petey didn't get on with Jive is creative differences like them wanting to slip certain dudes he didn't like on his projects. I don't think Snoop would really care, because he crosses over so much. He could do decent over there.
-
I say Jive (cuz of Charlie Wilson) Or Atlantic

Thank you, and you had good ones yourself. Also E.B.K., no offense man but have you seen the #'s G Unit do outside of 50 and Buck? Lol. Plus, half of the artists who were on G Unit haven't dropped a damn thing. Lol.
-
What do you mean the numbers outside of 50 and buck?bucks last album didn't even go gold and his first album sold what like one million?banks pushed more units then buck overall.buck didn't even sell that much more then yayo
-

Nah, wasn't it close though like 400 K final #'s? I remember Yayo failed epically and Banks did alright.
-

I think 50 would make Snoop make some gangsta ass shit if he was on G Unit, picture "Oh No" part 2... Dam...
-
I get the feeling this is what's going to happen.snoop will sign with another major,his next album will sell even less and he gets dropped again.then he might repeat that one more time then he will either sign to aftermath or to whatever the biggest label of the minute is.snoop has traditionally always just signed and worked with whoever is hottest at the moment
-
haha in other words fucked by the industry

I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes part of that whole DJ khaled movement with all those other people like plies and Ross and Wayne and ace hood.
-
haha signs to dj khaled's label
damn times are bad for "rappers"
or sign wit a-kon-vict
either way if he dont bring back "another meal" he aint doin shit

UGK's last album went platinum...
and oh, r.i.p. Pimp C :-\
-
yeah but ugk made muzik for their core fans snoop made muzik for
lil mama
t.i.
akon
lil wayne........fans
thats the difference

Jive has something other labels lack.loyalty

UGK definetely went not platinum because of their "core" fans. Nobody does that today.
-
Ugk has loyal fans because they make quality music that represents them.they don't cater to anyone or work with whoevers hot at the moment

What are you guys talking about?? I remember before he went on tour with Rich Boy Buck The World was at least at 600,000 units.
I think Snoop should go to Atlantic, if not see if him and Jay-Z can get something cracking with his new deal.
As far as executives I think he needs a real BOSS to lead him. If Dre can't then DIDDY or 50 could at least consult him or even JD. Pharell did a exceptional job with Rhythm and Gangsta.
I appreciated the last album, I actually liked it more than the Blue Carpet Treatment. But songs like My Medicine killed it.
-
Did you just say pharrel did an exceptional job with rhythm and gangsta?your joking right?that album was horrid.and I'm positive buck the world didn't go gold.
-
It's time for Snoop and Live Nation to begin negotiations...
-
Did you just say pharrel did an exceptional job with rhythm and gangsta?your joking right?that album was horrid.and I'm positive buck the world didn't go gold.
He sure did! Man Drop it Like it's HOT was the best song snoop released in a LONGGGGG Time. Then the other heaters he had on there that was produced by Pharell.
I can't provide the soudscan for Buck the World, but I know I seen it at least went Gold on Sohh.com. This was before the Rich Boy tour he did. I aslo remember, because I was seeing how well he was able to compete with the Game with album sales because it had barely went Platnium by that time?? And I saw Buck was pacing well.
-
It's time for Snoop and Live Nation to begin negotiations...
EXACTLY! It looks promising. It's a gamble, but one I think Snoop can benefit the most from.
-
i think this is gonna leave game as the last west coast rapper in the mainstream for a while.........
-
lol
y'all got the #s twisted like MAD
Buck the World - not even Gold (maybe 400K overall)
Rotten Apple - not even gold (Same ish as Buck)
Yayo 1st album - 700K (surpassed Gold BUT this was when GUnit was still HOT so it was considered a flop - also was their first album to not go plat.)
UGK didnt go platinum they went gold; and that's because it was a double disc so u multiply the sales 2X
-
The People that bought Death Row probly gave Snoop a part of the label & now they gonna re-build death row with distribution through Kotch! (remember the interview were the new owner said "we are trying to establish a good relationship with all former artists)
^It sounds weird but since HIP HIP has turned into WWF anything is posible...
-
He'll sign with Bungalo Records

Provide proof. Because I know LLoyd Banks was a flopper, but Buck did pretty good with the times but not as good as the first album.

Yeah I heard Buck didn't go gold, but maybe that was only in the U.S.? I still don't see why Yayo was a flop, 700k is still good numbers. Everyone overlooks the fact that GRODT Soundtrack went Platinum +, that album was dope
-
i think snoop's doing fine without his music, hes eating from his tv show and all that other shit hes doing
-
And banks first album did 2 or 3 million
-
I don't really care where he signs as long as he realizes Ego Trippin was an artistic and commercial failure, which makes him become hungry again to prove that he hasn't lost something. It's about time Snoop felt embarrassment and had something to prove. As long as his new label points it out to him that he DOES have something to prove (especially to the fans, because Ego Trippin was his least "fan-friendly" album yet), then that's all I care about.

Wikipedia says it went gold but i dunno; it's tough to find #s these days from cd's that old. Buck I saw did 141K 1st week; even less than Banks (149K) and both didnt go gold according to my memory ;D
Banks 1st album did 2 million
Buck first did 1 million
G-Unit group album did 4 million
-
It means not even Jimmy Iovine can stand to hear more garbage like "Sexual Eruption" and "My Medicine".
LMMFAO snoop is terrible
-
no maybe he will sign to gunit . now that would be SO DOPE :o
Then he'd be back with Interscope.
-
I don't care who he signs with, I just want another Snoop album produced entirely by Dre.
-
Snoop Should just go indy like cube damn it feels good to be independent movement. kurupt should be his second in command like wc is to cube.He should try to sign xzibit warren g daz fredwreck butch cassidy nate dogg battlecat and then just look for good rookies i mean snoop is a legend and then bam just make some gangsta music.
-
I don't care who he signs with, I just want another Snoop album produced entirely by Dre.
shit will never happen, Dre too busy producing for the Jonas brothers

You sure??? Because I remember Buck was projected to do something in the 300,000's and he obviously came up short but not that short.
I remember Buck had did the best post GRODT soundtrack. If he did that poorly or worst than LLOYD BANKS, then his departure wouldn't be a big deal. They would've mentioned he flopped any way.
-
if it is bad boy -> bye Snoop

I thought Capitol put out Paid the Cost..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paid_tha_Cost_to_Be_da_Bo$$
There was good promo for that album... I was surprised he left.. 2 big hit singles
-
that album only had One Big single
-
that album only had One Big single
Bitch Please wasn't at the top of Billboard, but it considered a hit single. From tha Church to that Palace was all over MTV, and I remember it being in some playstation game. MTV music generator or something like that..
-
yeah it had two singles really that were pushed
and that album was aite, not bangin all the way thru but had some heat
tha intro alone is classic and bangin
that album only had One Big single

I mean wit the last meal album they fucked up
snoop dogg
lay low
wrong idea (bangin but guess it was bad azz single but also appeared on snoops album)
loosen control (bad choice for a single)

Snoop's doing one of these 3 moves.
1. He's signing with Live Nation. Snoop's catalogue is huge Live Nation gives you upfront money. Snoop won't get Jay-z money (150 mill), but he can get say (50-100 mill up front) Remember Live Nation only care s mostly about your merchandising, Touring, and dollars outside music which they get 20 percent off top. Snoop can easily tour for the next 10 years, and Live Nation can easily Recoup 60-75 mill from him. Remember Live Nation, has Jay-z, Wayne (for touring they manage Wayne), soon to have Janet Jackson, they now can make a headline tour with Jay-z, Snoop, Wayne, and Janet if they wanted to. You know what kind of worldwide tour that would be? Man the could make half a billion off a worldwide tour like that.
2. Warner Bros. (which owns Atlantic) Snoop is an Icon, he'll sign with Warner, not their sub Division Atlantic. Warner will just probably have Atlantic if anything assist in Marketing the project. This would be a great move, because I could see Warner giving him a label deal, bringing in Snoop to be executive producer of Jay Rock's project. Say what you want that would be a good co sign for Jay Rock. Also it would give Warner something they haven't had in forever a West Coast Superstar to bring in artists. Warner doesn't know how to really market a West Coast artist. They coudl possibly even give Snoop some sort of executive title (In name only of course) over there.
3. Like homie earlier said. I could say Snoop making a power move. Remember the new owners of Death Row really care about pushing Death Row back out as a label, not just releasing the vaults of Music. I could see Snoop becoming President of Death Row Records, or a partner and the face of Death row Records. If this happens look for BWS to sign a joint venture deal with Snoop and Death Row ( which means BWS/DEATH ROW and Snoop being President of Death Row) records and find a distribution home. I think Snoop has been peeping game, at Jay-z and Diddy and realizes he needs to be looked at like a mogul like them. Master p taught Snoop a lot and I think he believes he's ready for that move. I think Snoop can do it now because the heat that would come from Suge would be minimal given his power in the game. Also he retains all his masters of hits (this will be a must in this deal if Snoop's lawyers and managers are smart). Think about how much money that is for Snoop to gain his masters back for future years for him? This would make the most sense for Snoop. He could become what Dre should've been for West Coast Artists, a haven for them to come get deals through a powerful entity. Remember Death Row the brand is still huge. plus Snoop could work with 2pac's mother on releasing his music that's left unreleased. If this happens Snoop can make Death Row bigger than Aftermath and bring back a label that is a fixture forever in West Coast history.
There is a 4th possibility that he partners with Koch But realistically I don't see that happening. Snoop wants to make a Splash and also Koch can real only do so much.
Now a possibility also could be that Snoop signs a joint Venture with Aftermath. Now I know people will say he said no more albums distributed under Interscope/Geffen for him. It doesn't have to necessarily be distributed by Intercsope/Geffen. Snoop can do a joint Venture with Aftermath and do distro through Universal. Because Jimmy Iovine still gets his money off that deal even with distribution through Interscope, because he owns a majority of Aftermath. Plus Universal owns all labels under that umbrella so everyone gets their money. It works for Snoop, because Dre can be executive producers of his albums, and have Aftermath stamp, but also it's a joint Venture so he won't have to wait on Dre's crazy time frames to release an album. He'll really be using Dre just for beats and the co sign and still have a machine like Universal behind him.

haha id say suge would be the "new president" of death row before snoop is when he returns or if he does
either way doubt snoop will have anything to do wit death row
-
I'd say those are some pipe dreams dizel
-
Snoop is a star but Atlantic aint no small label..I can see him heading there..
-
I doubt it
-
that album only had One Big single
From tha Church to that Palace was all over MTV
Couldn't escape that damn song back then, LOL.
BTW: That was a tight album.

I thought so too. A real return to consistency. From these boards, I think were in the minority, but this album was big when it came out. You couldn't escape Snoop. The albums wikipedia page gives it a glowing review, but I'm sure someone will point out that Wikipedia is not a very reliable source..
-
I thought paid tha coss and rhythm and gangsta were snoops two worst albums
-
both had some bangers but not bangin for the most part like others of his
I thought paid tha coss and rhythm and gangsta were snoops two worst albums
-
Snoop Dogg should do what Diddy does and get Ortiz and Royce to write him up songs... Hasnt worked for Diddy yet but im sure that they can make some absolute bangers for Snoop to get back to his OG ways!
Dont care where he ends up as long as he drops some new heat or just brings up the next lot of snoop and dre jrs haha! 8)
-
Dude should focus on his team, I mean He got Hustle Boyz, He Got Terrace Martin, he got Dubb Union.. he should just focus on making a Good business move that could push these artist aswell, Dude is getting old he should stop acting like a rookie and jumpin on who ever is hot dick, he just needs someone that is willing to put money in him and his whole entourage.

EXCLUSIVE: Snoop Dogg Finished With Geffen/Interscope
Published Sunday, February 08, 2009 6:31 PM
By Ismael AbduSalaam
Snoop Dogg has confirmed with AllHipHop.com that he will no longer record with Interscope, his label home for over 10 years.
The split comes nearly one year after the release of Snoop's ninth studio album, Ego Trippin'.
Lead by the crossover, 80s inspired ballad "Sexual Eruption," the LP debuted at #3 on Billboard's Top 200, but fell short of gold certification.
While the West Coast veteran declined to give specific details on the reason for the sudden split, Snoop verified there will not be any final albums with Interscope.
"We are pushing the envelope on getting everything finalized," Snoop told AllHipHop.com exclusively. "But I will not be releasing anymore projects under Interscope/Geffen."
In his first tenure with Interscope under Death Row Records, Snoop released his classic, 4X platinum debut Doggystyle (1993), the platinum Murder Was the Case soundtrack (1994), and the double platinum sophomore solo Tha Doggfather (1996).
After moving to Master P's No Limit Records for 3 albums from 1998-2000, and briefly to Capitol/EMI in 2002, Snoop returned to Interscope via the Geffen imprint with 2004's well-received, platinum album R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece, 2006's The Blue Carpet Treatment (gold), and finally 2008's Ego Trippin'.
To date, Snoop Dogg is estimated to have sold over 15 million records worldwide during his tenure with Interscope.
At press time, Snoop has declined on divulge his next possible label home.
-
damn is that right?
hes only moved 15 million world wide?
-
but then add to how many featurings he's done for big artist's albums, not to mention being all over the dre 2001 record, and not to forget the eastsidaz albums.
^^
he's made alot of money from this
then there's all the promotional shit like all the tv appearances , and all sorts of endorsements.
then there's makin money from all the concerts he did or was a part of. he most probably makes the most money from the concerts he does, rather than the music side.
-
yeah but is that all hes sold?
thought he was up there more
damn that means slim has sold more, damn!!
-
He's never had a huge album except doggystle and even that only sold 4 million
-
ofcourse eminem has sold more. he appeals alot more to the white audience than snoop does, because he's white.
-
jus thought he had sold more than that at least in the 25-30 range
wait 15 million is what number of his?
a ruff number of everything hes ever sold?
or jus solo albums?
ofcourse eminem has sold more. he appeals alot more to the white audience than snoop does, because he's white.
-
i think just solo albums.

A major label change is coming for Snoop Dogg...
Source: ChronicVacation.Com
We've heard from a reliable source that Snoop Dogg has parted ways with long-time label Interscope/Geffen Records. What exactly does this all mean? You'll find out soon.
makes sense, after selling like that
LOL at people saying Snoop is done. Paid Da Cost, you know the rest. He goes on his own terms, bad albums or not.
As for where he will end up? As much as I would like to see Snoop do the indie thing, I don't think it will happen. So I think maybe Capitol, Atlantic like Luna said or maybe Universal.
well i think his time has passed as a solo artist; he should stick to features.
anyway, i'm quite there's no bidding war going on
-
2 Choice for snoop Major or Indie but he w'll not sign to diddy or Jay Z if he stick to what he said when he left of No limit with the last meal " it's the last time a nigga eat on me" and as far as the 15 millions records it's only the Interscope album . Not the no limit and the capitol sells. U just ha to count 4 million with his first , doggfather 2 , tha game... 2million, No limit 2 milion ,Last meal 1,5 million, and the other did at least one milieon exept for ego trippin!
-
damn is that right?
hes only moved 15 million world wide?
With the article saying "To date, Snoop Dogg is estimated to have sold over 15 million records worldwide during his tenure with Interscope. " I dont think that includes his 3 No Limit albums, Eastisidaz, 213 and any other indie releases on doggystyle records

That's what I took from that too..
-
It means not even Jimmy Iovine can stand to hear more garbage like "Sexual Eruption" and "My Medicine".
true that.
"My Medicine" was fuckin terrible.
just to people who are closeminded & don't listen to other kind of music .
-
hes going back 2 deathrow
-
death row's back
-
LoL, That Would Be Off Tha Chain To See Tha Row Re-Emerge... 8)
-
Death Row is like Old News, would be so played out to bring that back
-
SO WHAS NEXT 4 THE BIG DOG???
ILIKE THE IDEA OF HIM HOLDIN POWER@ SOME LABLE OR HIS OWN LABEL, N START BRINGIN OUT NEW TALENT N SURE, EVEN HIS OLDER TALENT,
BUT WELLC

I jus hope he gets a good deal, not wit Universal. Look how much they delay n fuck over even Wayne, Nelly, Cash Money artists etc wit releases. They could give 2 shits bout they rap artists.
I want that WarZone [Kam, MC Eiht, Goldie Loc] album tuh drop this year. It's only right since Dubb Union got to drop last year.
-
damn is that right?

he have sold 50 million in "those gurlz" he mention that
-

Don't forget that doggystyle sold much more than 4 million copies. There's a difference between being certified 4x platinum and the actual sales to date. After a while they stopped certifying the doggystyle CD. I can't remember why. But there are estimates that in 2003 the CD already sold 6 a 7 million copies in the US alone let alone worldwide sales. In Europe this CD is still present in most HipHop sales charts. Don't let RIAA certification fool you. Do you really think the Chronic CD only sold 3 million copies in the US?

true. dont forget warren G got fukked over by universal aswell. warren was sayin they hardly promoted the album, and thats why the sales were really bad.
you wouldnt expect a major label to hardly promote the album. thats something you'd expect from an indy label.
thats alot of the reason why artists release records on major label, so as to get the album promoted, so it sells alot more.
if that wasnt the case, then everybody would be on indy labels.

true. that'll come out on doggystyle/koch

i think some artists would dispute snoop's skills of being a good CEO, so i'm not sure if he'll be given power over other artist's projects, unless its his own doggystyle projects.
i believe snoop will sign a new major record deal for his own solo career only. snoop will use koch to release his doggystyle projects from now on.

New album in September
