I'm pretty excited to see what he does with it.  It would also be cool to see Murder Was the Case OST on Spotify......

He didn't acquired rights to masters and old material - only to logo, name etc.

First time I'm excited for something Snoop did in like 20 years. If he manages to get rights to old music and actually release it I will go nuts!
