Dre is now impressed by Snoop’s handling of Death Row

Dr. Dre admits that he was not in favor of Snoop Dogg buying Death Row Records at first, but he has since changed his stance and now appreciates how the rapper has reshaped the historic label.

In a live interview with Drink Champs over the weekend, the iconic producer shared his thoughts on Snoop’s ownership of Death Row Records.

“Let me tell you something, man. I was so upset when I heard that Snoop was doing the Death Row shit at the beginning,” he explained. “Like, ‘N-gga, that shit has so much bullshit following it.’”

Dre, however, noted that Snoop’s way of handling the label began to grow on him. “But now, I’m so happy about it and so impressed at what my brother’s doing because he’s taken the thing that we created and brought it back to life,” he added. “I see his vision now. I appreciate it and I’m proud of it.”

Snoop, sitting beside Dre, was visibly moved by the compliment and responded: “That made me feel good. Thank y’all,” before adding: “Y’all tryna make a n-gga cry.”

Snoop & Dre are gearing up to drop new album

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre preview an unreleased song in the trailer for upcoming film, Back In Action, which features Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.

The 90-second teaser released on November 14 contains parts of an unpublished song by the legendary California rappers who are expected to release their new album titled Missionary next month.

It is still unknown if the song is to be included in the Missionary album or it is meant for the film soundtrack.

Snoop to unleash new album in December

Snoop Dogg shares more details about his forthcoming album Missionary, which is produced by Dr. Dre.

Posting on X, Snoop revealed that the album will be released on December 13 with a funny trailer.

The clip shows two geeky Mormon missionaries come to a home to do their God “mission.” Instead, they find a woman in underwear who thinks they are really “missionaries” where “missionary work” is of a different kind since she ordered their services for a totally different reason altogether.

Dre urges rappers to ‘find your collaborator’

Dr. Dre has been quite vocal in his disdain for rap albums which exhibit a variety of producers. During an interview with Stephen A. Smith alongside Snoop Dogg, Dre explained that he prefers rap projects to feature one or few producers.

“Find your collaborator. I don’t like the fact that there are, like, nine different producers on one album. I like the idea of one producer on one album. Continuity is everything,” Dre explained.

He went on: “If you a producer, you should be able to produce the entire album. That’s what I thought it was supposed to be. That’s what I was doing at the beginning.”
