Title: Jimmy Iovine to become Snoop Dogg's boss !?!
Post by: Jome on May 21, 2003, 01:24:25 PM
Interscope swallowing up MCA ? More on this soon....

Hiphopsite.com


-------------------------------
Dre and Snoop with the same boss ??
MCA owns Doggystyle, so that means Interscope will now own Doggystyle...

Hmm, this may make Dogghouse more effective as a label..
It could be big if they run it the same way they do Aftermath, IMO..

Yeah, that's tight news. Interscope treats their labels really well, so no doubt Doggystyle would be in good hands

Yeah, but Interscope is so big, it makes it's own executive decisions.
Like purchasing/selling labels..

i just hope that jimmy has trust in snoop's judgement, and lets him  do his thing

Post by: Sir Hambone on May 21, 2003, 08:01:09 PM
yeah maybe Interscope is something snoop dogg needs to help him become a better CEO of Doggystyle.......

one thing to be a artist..its another thing to release some music........and we all know snoop will drop some hot shit...then some other shit wont be hot...........but look at warren G also...........he was on universal, and he was dropped like a hotcake...........

More important, other artist are now under Interscope, like Common!!!!!!!!! MCA has a great roster, now it's time to step it up, Rawkus is under MCA, imagion a hip-hop world were Rawkus is the highest selling lable... my God hip-hop is finally coming home. Snoop and hopefully he'll get his Pound on that shit, the westcoast reppin' and Rawkus and Common, Interscope shit always gets mad radio play.  If hip-hop turns around back to the good old days of right rappers actually selling, then we can point to this as the day, the day Interscope saved real Hip-Hop. God Bless Jimmy Iovine, just I hope he allows Rawkus their creative freedom that they always enjoyed.

Post by: TOOTHBRUSH on May 21, 2003, 09:08:28 PM
maybe he can redo the roster a little too, i mean he could have tha pound, e white, and delano, then sign tha eastsidaz after this next album cause there contract will be up..........not to mention the one time 213 album

they should not drop latoya but repackage her as a solo artist not under doggystyle
Title: Re:Jimmy Iovine to become Snoop Dogg's boss !?!

E-White Good
Soopafly tight
Delano We dont know yet
Tha Eastsidaz good
LaToiya WilliamsTight
213 Great

and about LaToiya Williams she might be the one That Put DoggyStyle on top so I think its better if she's still under DoggyStyle, and Tha Eastsidaz are Better with IV Life Records

I  can't wait. Though I didn't find it on the site either. I hope they ain't bullshittng us. And how wouldn't trust Rawkis, or Twalib Kweli, or Common, or the Roots. Hell they get nominated for Grammies, it's just that they don't seem to sell under MCA, which wasn't selling anything anyways. I thinking Jimmy could expect them to blow up with the right promotion. but I hope we ain't being bullshitted.

yeah it would be good for them...good promotion is what they need to blow up and if jimmy can bring them that well it might be the return of real HipHop

i agree that latoya has a chance to sell but i think of doggystyle as a rap label, i ain't sayin they should ditch her but she shouldn't be one of their main artists....................heres the way they should release there albums:

213 ---- will blow up, sets table for dogghouse as big label

tha pound---- released a a few months after 213 will be a a big release and could be another plat group will at least go gold no doubt

snoop solo---- it will be about 1 1/2 years at least since his last solo, you need to keep shit movin it's still his label

e. white----he will be featured on all these albums, probably others it will get his name out and dogghouse will be big he should be able with the right promotion/single go at least gold which ain't bad

after this it would be time for another eastsidaz album, if there on dogghouse, soopa solo, another pound or 213 record, or delano i mean really dogghouse could run shit

if this is true its probably an excuse to drop some artists as mca hasn't done that well latly paying too much for labels
Title: Re:Jimmy Irvine to become Snoop Dogg's boss !?!
Post by: Devon (BP) on May 22, 2003, 01:00:10 AM
Yeah, that's tight news. Interscope treats their labels really well,

The answer is no. They don't treat their labels really well. If it wasn't for deathrow records then they'd be bankrupt by now. They ought to remember that when they dont promote a lot of 2Pac albums

Thats the thing Dog, Thinking  of DoggyStyle as a rap label aint good you should think about it as a Urban Music Label.Sure most of Y'all are fans of That Gangsta shit and dont give a fuck about singers but having singers on your label its good because it shows that you're versatile.and again  to be on top you have to make music to please everybody not only the fans & just in case if you didnt know she's the reason why "Baby If You're Ready" went Gold

for 213 It will do well because of Snoop & Nate Dogg

E-White the only thing that could save him is a Gangsta Anthem

Delano since he's a teenager he might blow and have a fan base like B2K  and that means more money for Tha Bo$$
so If the promotion is right they might run shit in 2004

Post by: Rag_J on May 22, 2003, 10:33:51 AM
Yeah, I really see Doggystyle doing it bigg in the next few years, they got alotta potentioal, not only as a rap-label, but as someone said, a urban music label.

It's only 1 line, but you can figure the rest.. without MCA, Doggystyle won't have a home, so Interscope is likely to take over most of MCA's business..
