Snoop Dogg: "Death Row Broke My Spirit"

Snoop Dogg: "Death Row Broke My Spirit"

Published Tue, December 20, 2022 at 12:40 PM EST

Snoop Dogg appeared on a recent episode of The 85 South Comedy Show where he spoke about his transition from Death Row Records to Master P's No Limit Records.

"They [No Limit] were soldiers, organized, structured they didn't play," Snoop recalled. " Master P was serious about his business. They put me in the No Limit apartment system where everybody had an apartment. It was some ghetto shit — in Baton Rouge."

Snoop then revealed that when he joined No Limit it was the first time that he owned property and had vehicles in his own name. "We rode through this gated community and he said pick out which one you want," Snoop said. "I picked the one that I wanted and he said 'sign it in your name.' Then he told me and my wife to go to the dealership and pick the two cars that we wanted. This was the first time that I ever had shit in my name, everything was in Suge Knight's name."

The "Doggfather" MC revealed that he felt powerless upon his move to No Limit.

"I didn't feel like Snoop Dogg at the time," he said. "My spirit wasn't that. Them n-ggas [Death Row Records] broke my spirit man. That's what you have to understand. They broke me. 'Doggy Style,' working on 'Doggfather,' then I won my murder case, Dre leaves, 2Pac gets killed, Suge goes to jail and Death Row wants to kill me. All in the same year!"

Snoop also explained that he wrote "Murder Was The Case" before he actually caught his murder case. "People thought that I caught the case, then wrote the song. That's stupid," he said. "In my era, we wrote about life, or we wrote about death. I was writing about death and that's because I was listening to 'Alive On Arrival' by Ice Cube."
