DAZ DILLINGER "Snoop Kicked Me Off Death Row"

[OG Snoopaveli]

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 is on that level production wise...

[b.laden]

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 

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.

Why is Snoop saying Daz is broke, it seems he's one of the richest in the game

[Bossplaya369]

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

THX intro you mean

[The Predator]

THX intro you mean

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



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.
