Snoop Dogg shared one of his goals following his Death Row Records deal, and it involves his late friend and colleague, Tupac.
In February, Snoop Dogg made a notable move when it acquired Death Row and the albums under the record. However, it was also noted that some major albums from the catalog were not included in the deal.
Complex detailed that Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre's albums were not included in the purchase. Meanwhile, sources told Billboard these albums were still being negotiated since, for instance, Tupac albums were still under the MNRK Music Group and Blackstone.
But weeks after the acquisition took place, the "Young, Wild, & Free" hitmaker told Tidal about his hopes to reclaim Tupac's Death Row albums, including "All Eyez on Me" and "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory."
As for the reason why he was not able to get the late rapper's masters, Snoop Dogg noted that the projects were removed from the label's roster in January. Despite that, he is said to be confident he will be able to bring them back to their original home now that he has the power over the label.
"As far as 2Pac's masters, 2Pac's masters came back to him last year. But I got a great relationship with his estate, and I'm pretty sure we're going to be able to work something out ... to continue some Death Row 2Pac business now that Snoop Dogg is in control of Death Row," he said.
Aside from Tupac, Snoop Dogg also started working to bring back Dr. Dre's works into the label's control.
Snoop Dogg Has More Hopes for Death Row Records
While trying to bring back his friends' masters to the label, Snoop Dogg also has a big focus on expanding the newly-acquired label.
Previously, he expressed his desire to be the "first major in the metaverse" by transforming Death Row into an NFT record label. Once he succeeds in doing so, Death Row Records will be the first NFT record label in history.
In addition, the rapper reportedly wants to sign new artists so he can continuously savor the success he currently experiences with Def Jam Recordings.
"You're just the pathway to them becoming who they are. I'm not in there trying to develop: 'Hey man, you should rap like this. You should do this.' I'm trying to find muthaf-kas that got that s-t that's already locked," he went on.
As of the writing, Snoop Dogg has not released a timeline or deadline yet. But the rapper assured he would take things surely as part of his label's vision.
