The Death Row Records albums of Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Tha Dogg Pound have been pulled from several streaming services.
According to reports, fans can no longer find 1993’s Doggystyle, 1992’s The Chronic and 1995’s Dogg Food on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. The removal occurred shortly after Snoop officially acquired Death Row Records and announced plans to turn the legendary hip-hop label into an NFT label, “We will be putting our artists through the metaverse and through a whole other chain of music. Just like how we broke the industry when we was the first independent to be major…I want to be the first major in the metaverse so Death Row will be an NFT.”
Snoop, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music have not commented.
2Pac’s All Eyez On Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory are both still on streaming, however, as they have been returned to Interscope Records. Snoop previously claimed that he still owned the rights to Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, but the N.W.A staple’s lawyer contradicted the statement, “There are false reports out regarding ownership by Death Row of Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. Dr. Dre owns 100% of The Chronic.”
Elsewhere in music, Drake teased “highly interactive” concert experiences in NYC and Toronto.
